Disclaimer: I don't own Private, Kate Brian does.
So I decided that this is going to be my second to last chapter and I am not going in the correct order of things that happened in Paradise lost so sorry if it confuses you.
Noelle POV
Reed just left to go horse back riding with Upton. Unfortunately they had gotten back together after there little mishap the other night. Oh well, he did make her happy.
I was heading out to the pool to show off my new bathing suit to Dash and to make his mouth water while hanging out with West when my phone rang. I told myself not to answer it because chances were that it was just stupid Josh with more whiny problems. Even considering it being him I wanted to answer because if it was Josh then I could find out his plan in getting Reed back and help without either of them knowing.
I know Hollis and I supposed to be enemies but I guess it id my fault eh doesn't like me. I did get him blamed for Thomas's murder which was half my fault. Anyway I supposed I should answer it.
"Hello," I said without looking at the caller id.
"Noelle, oh my god. The horse Reed was on almost ran off the cliff. She is fine but traumatized." The worried voice of Upton rang. I wasn't expecting that.
"What!" I shrieked trying to figure out what I had heard. It was hard to comprehend that your best friend was almost thrown off a cliff by a horse.
"I don't know how it happened but something scared the horse." He said.
"Is she ok?" I asked.
"Yeah she is fine. Reed is a little traumatized but we are on our way back now. I just wanted to warn you." Upton said and hung up. The jerk wouldn't even listen to me say goodbye.
I wondered if it was really an accident or if it had something to do with mysterious blonde hair in the picture at a private photo shoot. I couldn't believe it was happening again and we didn't believe Reed about the stalker.
Not ten minutes later did the rest of the crew walk in. Oh great more people to deal with.
"Lange," Gage said walking up and putting his hand up as if he were going to give me a high five. I shoved past him ducking under his arm.
"Noelle we were going to take my jet ski's out to ride around. I even have one for Reed. Speaking of Reed where is she and where is Upton?" Daniel asked.
"They went horse back riding. Reed's horse almost threw her off of a cliff and she is ok but they are on there way home I'm up for jet skiing but only if she is." I said.
"Wait she's ok right?" Gage asked worriedly. I wondered why the heck he even gave a crap because last time I checked he didn't care what happened to Reed.
"Yeah were you not listening she is fine. Why do you care anyway?" I asked.
"You know she may not be my favorite person but I am not heartless." He said.
I was about to make a smart comment back to him when Reed walked through the door with Upton. Luckily she wasn't hurt.
"Reed we were going to go jet skiing. Are you up for it?" Daniel asked breaking the silence.
I could tell she didn't know what to do and was contemplating going or not. She must've gotten spunkier because she agreed and went upstairs to change.
"Cool, so did you have all of your jet ski's inspected yet?" I asked Daniel.
"Yes I did." He said.
Reed walked down the stairs a few minutes later.
"Let's go," She said. I couldn't tell if she was excited or dreading the moment.
"I was about to walk out the door when Gage pulled me aside.
"Noelle, Upton isn't right for Reed. He will break her heart. He already did with the whole party thing." He said.
"No way that's not possible." I said really sarcastic.
"We have to stop her from going any further with him because he will just break her heart." He said.
"Well if someone knows something about breaking hearts it's you. I am not an idiot and neither is Josh. We know you have been sneaking around with Ivy so save it." I said.
"Josh knows?" He asked.
"Yeah he does." I said.
"That's why I want to help with Reed. If I help him with her then he might forgive me for the Ivy thing. She is supposed to be breaking up with him already." Gage said.
"Well it's not like that. She is milking her pain to get Josh to stay with her. Now let's go before people start thinking I might possibly be sneaking around with you." I said putting my nose up on the word you. Gage's jaw dropped but he kept himself together as we walked out to the beach house where Daniel kept his sporting equipment.
15 minutes later we all had been assigned Jet Ski's and were taking them out to the water. I rode around near West and I saw that Reed was flying and beating Upton in a race. I decided to take a break and go sit with Kiran and Taylor.
"Hey guys," I said.
"Hey Noelle," Kiran said.
"Oh my god. Reed look out!" Taylor screamed out of no where. I looked ahead and Reed had a scared look on her face she was flying in towards shore and couldn't stop the Jet Ski.
Reed jumped off of the Jet Ski and it flew into the rocks. Everyone else headed towards shore as fast as possible. Daniel and Upton got there first. Reed was screaming something at Paige and Daniel was defending her.
"I believe Reed that this someone else's fault." I said.
"Fine then, you go with your group and I'll go with mine." Paige said.
Taylor, Kiran, Reed, Upton, and Amberly stayed on our side and everyone else went with Paige and Daniel. Even Gage went with them. I stared him down in disappointment. We walked back to my house and everyone just went on there own. I was going to kill Gage.
Gage POV
I can't believe we had to choose sides. I can't believe the side I chose. I suppose it was because I can't stand Upton and I knew everyone else in the group I chose my whole life. What was I supposed to do? I knew I had created a death wish with Noelle. I needed to text Ivy though. I couldn't believe she hadn't broken up with Josh yet.
To: Ivy
From: Gage
Have you broken up wit josh yet?
To: Gage
From: Ivy
Y
To: Ivy
From: Gage
I jus wanna no
To: Gage
From: Ivy
Yeah I have. We are coming down there soon! I G2G c ya.
I couldn't believe she was lying to me now. I was so breaking up with her. Or at the least having a very serious conversation with her.
Ivy POV
It was weird how Gage was texting me. I wonder if he knows what is up. Josh was in the shower at the time luckily. I didn't intend on breaking up with him. All I knew was that as soon as he gets out of the shower that he is going to talk to me and most likely break up with me.
I hoped it wasn't that but I needed to find a way to distract him. If he was going to break up with me I was going to get in bed with him first. I pulled a little bag out of my suitcase. Inside of that bag was lingerie that I had gotten before we left. No man could turn it down. I got dressed quickly and positioned myself on the bed. I heard the water turn off.
"Listen, Ivy we really need to…" Josh said.
"Let's talk later." I said seductively.
How many times do I need to tell you no before you understand it?" Josh said and stormed out of our bedroom and out of the hotel room.
My plan really wasn't working. I was really going to lose Josh.
Josh POV
I couldn't believe Ivy. I already told her no twice. I really needed to talk to Reed. I decided to cal Noelle first though.
"Hello," She answered after the first few rings.
"Hi." I said.
"Oh, Hollis, what do you want?" She asked tiredly.
"You know what I want." I said.
"Have you broken up with Ivy yet?" She asked almost knowingly.
"No, but I am once I get off of the phone with you." I said.
"Well then you can talk to her after you break up with Ivy." Noelle said.
"Fine, I'll call back then." I said.
"Well I also think you should know that Reed was almost thrown off of a cliff by a horse and almost crashed into rocks on a Jet Ski because of a malfunction. Oh and your buddy Gage went with the other group of people that we were fighting with because we think they may have had something to do with Reed's problems." Noelle said. My mouth hung open and I almost screamed.
"Is she ok?" I asked.
"Is that worry I hear?" Noelle said.
"Noelle, tell me if Reed is freaking ok." I screamed.
"She is fine. She is just traumatized." Noelle said.
"I swear I will kill whoever did that to her." I said.
"Well it is kind of your fault. A few girls that were jealous of her and her new boyfriend did it we think. If you hadn't broken up with Reed none of this would have happened." Noelle said.
"Oh my god. I swear I am breaking up with Ivy right now. I need to come see Reed but I won't get there until tomorrow evening. Where can I meet you?" I asked.
"Well I really don't like the guy Reed is dating so I will help you. We are meeting at the dock down in St. Bart's and make sure to wear a tux because it is casino night. There will be a yacht you need to get on. Tell them at the door you are with Noelle Lange. From there you are on your own." Noelle said and hung up.
I ran back up the stairs to my room. Ivy was back in her jeans and baby doll t shirt.
"Ivy we need to talk." I said.
"Josh, I am so sorry." Ivy said.
"It's ok but it's not because of that. I saw you with Gage and I know you used me and I know you weren't really in pain at the airport." I said.
"Yeah and I am so sorry, please don't be…" Ivy started.
"You don't want me to be mad? I am furious. I stayed with you even when I found out Reed didn't mean to cheat on me. She was drugged. You repay me by using me and cheating on me and you don't want me to be mad?" I said louder than I wanted.
"Josh. I am sorry." Ivy said. Tears were coming to her eyes.
"We are over. I am going to St. Bart's right now." I said.
"You never did unpack." Ivy said.
"This was why." I said.
"Well can I at least come with you. I need to work things out with Gage if you don't mind." Ivy said.
"Whatever, you two were made for each other. Neither of you care for others. You can come on my plane but don't expect me to fall for any of your tricks." I said.
"Josh can we just be friends?" Ivy asked.
"I'll consider it." I said, meaner than I wanted too. I went to the front desk and told them we were leaving. Then I call the pilot that took us here and he prepared the jet. Next thing I knew we were off to St. Bart's. I was going to get Reed back before the end of tomorrow.
The next chapter is my last chapter.
Should Ivy and Josh stay friends?
Should Gage take Ivy back even when she lied?
Review and see!!!
