Thanks for all the lovely reviews, there the reason that I updated again. Read and review if you want more :D
"Amber, what are you doing here?" Said Fabian putting the bags down beside the sofa "I thought you were still in..."
"New York? I came home early to spend the half term with you, you really didn't have to lie about being here I know there's nothinggoing on between you two, you're not really his type Joy" she said almost bitchily
Joy looked at the suddenly changed Amber to the bewildered Fabian and decided that she wasn't really wanted their and so went upstairs to her bedroom to put the stuff away before her parents saw the party food and balloons and guessed what they were planning. So Amber was playing bitchy, well Joy could as well, ten times worse. She changed into a low cut top and shorts and went down to talk to Jerome and Olivia, it wasn't so much that she had Fabian it was more to the fact that Joy was nice to her and even backed away from Fabian when she realised he was going out with her and then she got a makeover and now she thought she could do whatever the hell she wanted, no Joy was going to crush her.
"Hey Jerome" Joy cooed touching his arm gently, Olivia had gone to change and she had roughly four or five minutes to make Fabian as jealous as humanly possible without seeming too slutty.
She knew he was looking her way as she had cleverly positioned herself in front of a mirror and so could sneak peeks to check he was watching her, which he clearly was because even though he had a pretty girlfriend it was hard not to look at her in a low cut top and shorts. Suddenly he came over and sat next to her, at little too close if anything and whispered into her ear "It's not working, you know" and went back to talk to Amber. Embarrassed she slumped down into the sofa.
"Oi Joy, did he just say it wasn't working?" Said Jerome
Joy nodded still blushing.
"Watch he's going to come over and start boasting about something" whispered Jerome
Sure enough Fabian came over and started talking about rugby and how it was SO exhausting being the captain and also the captain of the football team and how he's thinking of quitting because he wants to spend more time with Amber. Then he excused himself and went upstairs.
"and that ladies and gentlemen was step two" said Jerome amused
"Step two of what" said Joy
"Oh nothing"
Amber walked up the beautiful mahogany stairs and sighed, Joy really did have everything perfect didn't she, her and Fabians parents had just left this morning for London and they were going to have a perfect little Halloween party, though she was going to everything in her power to stop Fabian from going to that party, even if she had to kidnap him.
"Hey Fabes" she said putting her arms round his neck
"Since when did you call me Fabes, that's what Joy calls me" said Fabian but instantly regretted it when he saw the hurt look on her face
"So Joy can call you that but I, your girlfriend can't?" she said "You know what you stay here with Joy and she can call you whatever the hell she wants and I'll go and stay over in the hotel room that I reserved for us alone, or maybe I'll invite Jerome..."
"Amber, I didn't mean it, it's just caught me off guard how much you've changed, anyway I don't like Joy that way, I like you and if you don't want me to go to the Halloween party then I won't go simple as" he said putting her arms back around his neck and realising that her arms were strangely slim, like she hadn't eaten anything for the three weeks she was in New York, but didn't say a thing for fear of upsetting her again.
Amber looked up at him and smiled, of course she had nothing to worry about she had Fabian wrapped around her finger she said to herself, yet a small part of her noticed what she refused to believe.
Meanwhile Joy was getting ready in her room, it was decided that it would be a masquerade ball, she was wearing the red dress she had bought with Fabian and she knew she looked good in it, she had even helped Fabian find a tux that matched with it perfectly, although now she wasn't even sure he was coming to the party now Amber was here, already Joy took at instant dislike to the new Amber. So she put on her red beaded mask, something she found in her attic from that used to belong to her now deceased mother. She was about to go downstairs when she heard Jerome and Fabian talking, in usual instances she would have simply continued to go downstairs but the second she heard Jerome say her name she felt the urge to listen in on what was going on.
"Look let's cut the bullshit here, you obviously like Joy" Jerome said
"Uh no I don't we're just friends"
"Uh then why did you do the move on her"
"I did not do the move on her"
"I saw you, you told her it wasn't working"
"Yeah and?"
"Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, you know your leading them both on and its not fair, choose one by the end of the night or its going to end in tears"
"I'm telling you..."
"...You don't like Joy, but you know some part of you can't leave her alone"
After Jerome's speech Fabian didn't know what to say, as much as he wanted to be faithful he knew that what he felt for Joy wasn't what you feel for a friend.
Joy walked downstairs to be greeted by 20 or 30 masked teenagers drinking alcohol and jumping in her pool, before today she was the happiest she had ever been yet tonight when she was supposed to be having such a good night she couldn't help feeling disappointed than Fabian didn't like her that way, everyone liked her that way it made no sense that he should be the exception, not that she liked him that way, he was just her friend, yet recently she had been feeling strange around him...
Suddenly she bumped into Jerome who basically told her what she had just heard, he also added that Fabian says Joy in his sleep which made her smile, he also told her that tonight he was going to choose her and not go and choose Amber in some cheap motel and Joy believed him until she saw Fabian slip out the front door and she realised she had lost.
Screw him Joy thought as she grabbed a can of beer from the counter next to her, there were tons of good looking boys her who would die for her and she knew it. She suddenly screamed pool party and everyone ran outside and jumped into the pool.
Fabian was sitting by the fountain wondering what to do, he had still not yet made up his mind, all of a sudden he heard Joy scream pool party, he wished that Amber had that playful, Outgoing ad downright crazy attitude that Joy had, it was basically the reason they were friends. Everyone thought they only hung out because they were both popular good-looking people but it reality it was just because he liked being around Joy, she made him laugh and feel happy.
He got up and walked back into the house, about to make his choice when sat on the stairs Joy was making the choice for him instead. He watched her kiss that guy from school for a couple seconds before turning round and heading to go find Amber, Jerome was right, it would defiantly end in tears.
