Zoe's POV:
The next few months were really hard to get through. If not having Max with me anymore wasn't bad enough, we had to deal with the aftermath of Kirsty, Jess and Adam's fall out. Jess still won't talk to either of them and she is having a fight with Kirsty at least once a week. Linda decided she was going to stay mine tonight to try and take my mind off of everything and just catch up properly considering we haven't had much chance to do that with all of the arguing. We went to Linda's from school to get her stuff before walking back to mine.
"Hey" Linda's cousin Kieran said to me as we opened the door.
"Hey" I said back as Linda dispersed upstairs.
"How you doing, I heard about you and Max" he said and I sighed, I thought the questions had finished by now.
"I'm fine, moved on now" I said but knew I hadn't.
"Good" he said smiling at me. I looked at him before kissing him. All I wanted to do was forget Max and this was the only way I could think of to do that. Kieran kissed me back as his hands began to travel around my body.
"Come on Zo let's go" Linda said laughing as she came back down the stairs. I pulled away from Kieran, kissing him on the cheek before following Linda out of the door.
"Well" she said as she closed the door.
"Trust me I wasn't expecting it either" I said laughing. As we rounded the corner of her road I heard Kieran shouting my name from behind us. He came over to us giving me his number and kissing me again before going back to Linda's. I turned around and saw Max looking at me, I froze to the spot. This was the first time I had seen him since we split up.
"Zo" Linda said following my gaze.
"Come on lets go" she said grabbing my arm and pulling me towards mine. Max was with another lad and a girl. By the way he was reacting with her I guess he was seeing her. When we got back to mine Linda pushed me into the living room where dad and Connor were. I thought they would have been out down at the estate but obviously I was wrong.
"You alright Zo" dad asked looking at me.
"We just saw Max with another girl" Linda answered for me.
"You can do so much better than him anyway Zo" Connor said to me.
"I don't want anyone else, I just want him" I cried before running up the stairs, Linda hot on my heel.
"Zo come on, you're going to have to get over him sooner or later. You knew it wasn't going to work that's why you ended things. You were snogging Kieran's face off a minute ago" she said and I knew she was right.
"I know but I only kissed Kieran to see if it would help me get over Max and then I realised that it hasn't it just stopped the pain whilst I was kissing him" I said back to her.
"Oh Zo" she said hugging me. I pulled away when I heard my phone begin to ring in my blazer pocket. Linda took it off of me after looking at the caller ID.
"Max how lovely for you to call" she said and I just laughed at her as she put it on speaker.
"Linda put Zoe on please" he asked and I shook my head.
"She's busy, want me to pass on a message" Linda asked him.
"Yeah ask her who the scum was that she was kissing and if she really loved me, how can she get over me that quickly" he said and I knew Linda was going to say something stupid back.
"That scum as you put it is my cousin and she does fucking love you Max. The reason she was kissing Kieran is because when she kissed him it took away the pain of losing you. You can't judge her anyway, you're shagging that blonde that you were with earlier" she said and I hit her arm, I can't believe she told him the truth.
"That's none of your business what I do anymore" he said before hanging up.
"That went well" Linda stated sarcastically.
"I'm getting changed" I said before grabbing one of Max's tops out of my wardrobe.
"Is that Max's? Linda asked me looking at it.
"Yeah he gave me a few of his shirts to keep" I said but realised how pathetic it sounded. Linda didn't care though she realised how much I was hurting. The next few months were spent the same way. I spent my time snogging anyone and sleeping with anyone just to stop the pain. My reputation in school had gone downhill, I was now known as the biggest slut in the school. Max had text me and rang me quite a few times considering even people at his school have heard about what I've been doing lately. I haven't replied to him once though. Jess and Kirsty have sorted it out now which is better for the rest of us. I had done quite a few of my exams and I think I done really well on them all. We had a careers day a few days ago which helped us all to decide what we wanted to do when we were older. Me and Adam have decided to be doctors and Linda, Kirsty and Jess have decided to be nurses. I have spoken to the hospital staff a bit about it and they've agreed to letting me do work experience there as well. My life was beginning to look up again even if I had a different guy every week. Live life the way you want to live it is what I always get told and that's exactly what I was doing from now on.
