Once Jen had arrived home, she remembered Tilly had texted her. Reading the message she knew she had annoyed Tilly..As Liam was busy with the gym Jen decided to text Tilly asking to meet so she could explain…
Jen: Hey I am sorry..
Are you busy?xx J
Tilly was sat in collage café with Neil and jono..they were always the best company when she was feeling down..
She was laughing at neil telling them how he's born to be a star…
She pulls out her phone and reads the text..
Tilly:
You want to meet know?
Not so busy huh?
Jen;
Please. .xx J
Tilly.
Well im at the coffee shop..
Jen: ok meet you in 10..xxJ
Jen knew she was in for a rough time. But was sure once Tilly knows why she bailed on her she would be ok..
As Jen arrived at the coffee shop she see's Tilly sat with the boys. So she heads over to order herself a coffee making sure Tilly could see she was there..
"Whoa" Dude Miss Gilmore is looking hot as hell" Jono says nudging Neil to look…
Neil shoots Tilly a look who is also staring at the teacher..
"Yeah she's easy on the eye I guess. Neil says. Don't you agree Tils..he winks
"What? Tilly says shocked…Oh ,,ummm…yeah she's ok…Right im off.! .she smiles as she gets up to leave…
Once Jen collects her coffee she heads out in the same direction as Tilly.
Catching up with Tilly just behind the su bar. She sits beside her..
I know your angry with me! Jen says quietly..
But I promise you. I really was in an awkward position. A student wanted to talk about some things she's going through..
Tilly sat with her arms folded. Shaking her head!
Jen you didn't even text me to let me know. I been sat around waiting all day ..and as usual you dismiss me with a shitty some other time text..
"Hey …Jen said shocked at Tillys attitude..
Tilly look…Im sorry ok…what didn't you want me to do…tell the student to get over it while I text u a loving message?
I mean for god sake..
"It was your idea to meet up. Not mine" Tilly said angrily..
Yes I know and I wanted to ..badly. But something came up. I could'nt turn her way..
If you knew what I was talking about you wouldn't be like this.."Jen said getting annoyed herself at Tillys selfishness…
Well tell me then?… Tell me what was more important then me? Tilly demanded..
"I Cant…you know that! Jen said shaking her head…
"Smmhhhh typical…you drop me and I don't even get an explaination..great!…Tilly said..
Jen by now was getting pissed off at Tillys attitude..
What the hell has gotten into you ?Jen spat
I told you I had to support a student in her time of need. Why cant you just except that?
Tilly by now was in a full on teenage strop…
"Oh female student?
What you doing lining up the next one.? As soon as the words left Tillys mouth she knew she didn't mean it…
Jen was shocked at Tillys comment. She couldn't believe she had said such and awful thing..
Jen? Jen I didn't mean…..
Jen got up. Looked at Tilly with the saddest face ever..! How could you! How could you say such a vile thing…
Jen went to walk away from Tilly.
Jen? Jen no wait please" Tilly shouted as she Grabbed Jens arm. Pulling away Jen was crying. Get off me Tilly..shaking her head she was so hurt by Tillys outburst..
Im sorry? Tilly said tears building up in her eyes..
Jen became angry. Her tears rolling down her cheeks..
If you really must know I was comforting a student who for no fault of her own is being bullied by your so called friends…So badly that she feels like she doesn't want to live! ..so im sorry. .if I didn't ask her if she could come back some other time because I had plans.."
My friends? Who? What do you mean? Jen? Tilly said really confused..
Yes Tilly your friends.! .them morons you hang out with..Jen fired at Tilly…as she walked off she turns to Tilly..you know I look at them and I cant see why you would be friends with them? You the naturally caring,kind,generous one. The mature one. But now? Now I see it. Your no different to them…Jen wipes her tears and walks away from Tilly..
Tilly is confused as to what Jen was saying..Maddy bulling someone? Who?
Tilly was left standing alone. She kicks herself for being so immature. She cant believe she said such a stupid thing. She knows Jen would never! …What have I done? She says to herself..
Jen is at home in bits..shes so hurt that Tilly would say such a thing.!
Sat alone in the dark she's wondering if Tilly really meant it. And if she didn't then why say it…did she feel that and the words slipped out? Or was she just acting up and not thinking? Either way she has hurt Jen and Jen was in no mood to speak to Tilly anytime soon!…
Tilly has called Jen over 10 times…she knew how hurt Jen was and need to tell her again how sorry she was…
She decided if jen wouldn't answer her calls then she would text!
TILLY
Jen , please talk to me!
Im an idiot..
I didn't mean what I said,
I was begin selfish. I know how caring you are and I love the fact you are trying to help others..
Please talk to me! Please
I love you xx T
Jen read the message and went to delete it straight away. But she knew Tilly wouldn't give up..
Jen
You have hurt me Tilly..
Just leave me alone..
I cant talk to you right now
Tillys heart broke in two reading Jens reply. She knew it was her fault she also knew Jen wasn't to be pushed so she respected Jens wishes and left her alone,,,
Both women fell asleep with tear stained cheeks..both un sure of their future together…
