Chapter 11
New character is Gillian. She is Shaidyn's BFF…
I ate and walked out of the hotel door and there was Cody hugging another girl that I had never seen before. He saw me and pulled away from the hug. He started jogging towards me with the girl and I walked the other way.
"Caylin!"
"Save it, Rhodes."
"This isn't what you think!" He said, grabbing my arm.
"Then what is it?" I asked, spinning around.
"This is Shaidyn's friend, Gillian." He tried to explain.
"Whatever, Rhodes. I don't really care right now." I lied, pulling my arm from his grip and walking away.
5 minutes later.
I walked towards the doors and then remembered I didn't have any money to go eat or shop or anything. So I ran up to our room and walked in only to find Cody, Dusty, Shaidyn, and that "Gillian" girl sitting on the couch and Rey on the recliner. I could feel all of the eyes on me when I walked in.
"Hi, Caylin." Rey said.
"Hi…" I said, unsure of what to do.
"Shaidyn?" Dusty said.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes…Now!"
"Okay. Therefore…Caylin, this is really my best friend, Gillian. I invited her here. At first I did not think you were good enough for Cody but after Gillian told me what happened when you saw them hugging, I realized how much you liked him and how much he means to you.
"When I first came here, I was determined to ruin your relationship with Cody because when he talked about you on the phone or in letters, I got jealous that he wasn't going to have enough time for me when I came but you guys proved me wrong and I am really sorry." She frowned.
"Look. I told Cody I didn't really care right now and that is the truth. So you guys can all leave." I saw Cody frowning and I instantly felt horrible. How could I do this to the guy of my dreams? I thought to myself.
Dusty stood up and looked at Cody, signaling him to get up. All of them left and Rey started staring me down. I sat down.
"What?"
"I know that you really care… It is obvious to me. Maybe Cody doesn't realize it because he hasn't been a parent before but I know because I have you and your siblings and my own two kids. You don't need to lie to him just to make him feel bad."
"But you don't know what I am feeling like, Dad! You have never been a teenage girl with a broken heart, have ya?" I screamed in his direction.
"No, but I have been a teenage boy with a broken heart before and I know you don't think I understand but I do." He said in his most calm, relaxed voice.
"Whatever…" I said, getting up and stomping to my room to get some money for shopping and eating. Afterwards, I went to Taco Bell for lunch and then to the plaza that had shops like Maurice's, Claire's, and JC Penney's. I decided to go to Claire's and see what belly button rings they had. Maybe I would get Rey mad by getting my belly pierced. I saw a dark blue one with angel wings dangling and I decided that I was going to get my belly pierced tomorrow after we trained and I went on my daily "walk".
I also went to JC Penney's and Deb and got shirts and jeans that would actually fit me because all of the clothes the divas had bought for me in the beginning had gotten too tiny for me… I have no idea why but I started gaining weight ever since we came here. Maybe I just ate a lot from being stressed about Caiden and the other kids going back to Michelle. I also got an awesome necklace and bracelet pair from Rue 21 that were all colorful and bright! While I was walking through the plaza, I saw Shaidyn and Gillian walking arm in arm. They saw me and frowned. I walked past them and continued my shopping. When I got back, I went straight to bed without saying one word to Rey.
Sorry this is pretty short but I think I am going to write another chapter for Best I Ever Had… So I have to keep the fans I get from that story too…so I apologize…I promise the next chapter will be like twice he size as this one! Thank you guys for understanding!
