Massie and Josh barely talked while Derek was gone. Massie swore to herself that she was not going to mess up this relationship. Sure, Josh was hot and sweet and smart and all the things you looked for in a guy but, he was just to damn perfect. Today, Derek comes back and the gang is all gonna get together at San Clamente Park to have a barbeque.
Massie and Claire were getting ready at Claire's house.
"So, you excited for your lover boy to come back?" Claire teased. Massie looked over to the window. "What's wrong?" Claire asked.
"Can I tell you something" Claire nodded. "You have to swear you won't tell anyone!" Massie pleaded.
"I swear"
"I kissed Josh"
"WHAT!!"
"I mean it was mutual. He actually kissed me first and I kissed back which is just as bad as me kissing him. I feel horrible!" Massie said breaking into tears.
"Oh Hon" Claire said while giving Massie a hug.
"I'm all confused. I really, really like Derek, but like I really like Josh and I don't want to hurt Josh" Massie said after one really loud sob. Claire just stood there rubbing her back.
"I can't like Josh, cuz he's Alicia's and she's my best friend and I can't hurt Derek cuz he's my boyfriend"
"Well, you've got to do something" Massie stayed quite. "You either have to forget about Josh or go after him and hurt your boyfriend and your best friend"
"I told Josh I was done with him and that we couldn't do this, but he's called me everyday Derek was gone…I really like Derek. I don't know, but I think I might love him!"
"Then stay with Derek" Massie sat down on Claire's bed and pouted. Claire laughed.
"What!!"
"Just the way you sat down on my bed…it was kinda funny" Both girls went into hysterias.
"Why are we laughing" Massie said between giggles. Claire shook her head saying I don't know. "Me and Josh are over. I just want to be friends with him"
"Good" Claire said. "Cuz you and Derek are cuter"
Claire and Massie were the last to arrive at the barbeque. The guys were grilling burgers and the girls were hanging out by the picnic table. Massie barely spoke to Alicia all night. Finally, Claire left to go hang with Cam; leaving Massie and Alicia.
"Hey are you mad at me? You've barely said anything to me all night"
"Uhhh. No I'm not mad at you, but I do need to tell you something"
"What is it?" Alicia asked.
"I can't tell you here" Massie looked over to Josh who was staring at her.
"Let's go for a walk and you can tell me there"
Claire and Cam were sitting over by the picnic table while Alicia and Massie went for their walk. Cam had his arms around Claire, while Claire leaned into him with her back facing him. Cam could sense something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Baby, whats wrong?" Cam said while stroking her hair. Claire shook her head. "You can tell me" Claire took a long sigh before she started.
"Okay, well I know something…that well it hurts two of our good friends"
"And what is that"
"Well" but, before Claire could finish Derek interrupted them.
"Hey how do you guys want your burgers done?"
"Well done" Cam said answering his friend question.
"Claire?"
"I don't care" Claire got up and went over to the playground.
"So what was it that you wanted to tell me?" Alicia asked.
"Ok, well…ummm I don't know how to say this but,"
"Mass, just get it out"
"You're going to be angry with me, but I can't hold it in any longer"
"Like I said get it out"
"Joshkissedme" Massie said it fast.
"What?"
"Josh and I kissed" Alicia's eyes got really big.
"YOU WHAT!!"
"We kissed"
"I knew he liked you!"
"I'm really sorry"
"Know what Massie, it's really okay" Alicia said calming down.
"Are you serious?"
"Yea, I have a feeling he kissed you. Not the other way around. I was going to break up with him anyways" Massie stood there shocked. "Now I have a reason to break up with him. Soo, what are you going to tell Derek?"
"I'm going to tell him tomorrow. Hopefully, He will be as forgiving as you" Alicia laughed. "So are we good?"
"Yea" Alicia gave Massie a hug. They walked back to the group. The rest of the night was full of fun and laughter. They started a fire in one of the little fire rings they had in the park. The night was perfect. Everyone knew that tomorrow would hold more drama than anyone could handle.
