Ivy's Point of View

The date started out amazing. However I soon realized that as nice and sweet as Declan is, that is how full of himself he is. That has always been one of my biggest turn offs. I mean sure, be confident and everything but don't be a cocky bastard. That is where I have to draw the line. So now here I am sitting her pretending to laugh at things he says.

'So, I get the feeling that there is a backstory to why you are living with the owners of Rush Sports."

I looked at him, "Only three of them." I answered shortly.

"Besides the point. What's the story?" He pushed leaning over the table I guess trying to be cool but it just pissed me off.

"Look, Declan. You have been very sweet but this whole date is not going well. Plus I just met you today, and I really would rather not expose my secrets to a stranger."

He looked taken back by my bluntness but honestly the nice act was way over and I just wanted to go home.

"Oh…girl has some claws." I just glared at him, wow, he is an idiot. I got up from the table and without another word I walked out. I just couldn't sit there across from him any more.

I sat on the bench a couple stores down just incase he came looking for me I wouldn't be in immediate sight. I looked through my phone wondering who if anybody I could call to come get me. It was late and I really didn't want to walk home and I definitely was not gonna call any of the guys because they would just tell me how stupid I was.

As I scrolled through the names one popped out at me. We were always like sisters but went I started dating that asshole we stopped talking but I was hoping that if I called her she would come help it. I sighed and hit the call button.

I listened to her, 'Chasing the Sun' by the Wanted ringback tone for a few seconds, "Ivy?" her voice came through.

"Hey Harper, listen I knew we haven't talked in a while but I didn't know who else to call." My voice was weak.

"You know you can call on me about anything. What's going on? Why do you sound so sad?"

I laughed a little, "I have a lot to tell you, a lot has happen in the past month or so. Can you come get me and I will explain on the way?" She immediately agreed and I told her where I was.

Not ten minutes later I saw the familiar blonde pulling up beside me. I smiled and got into the car. As soon as I saw her I wrapped her in a hug and the tears just started flowing.

After five minutes of letting me cry on her she pulled away, "So, what's going on?" With that I explained everything. Tyler. Rush Sports. Kendall. Declan. Everything I could possible put on the line was out there. She stared at me in almost shock.

"girl, why didn't you tell me what Tyler was doing? Or why didn't you call as soon as you left the dickhole?"

I just shook my head, " I guess I thought you'd be pissed at me for letting it happen."

"Ivy! That wasn't your fault! He made you feel that way, I'm glad you got away but I am also glad that I got my best friend back!"

We laughed and continued talking. We just pulled in the driveway and I noticed that Logan was sitting on the front porch. I looked at Harper and her eyes got wide looking at the boy, I couldn't help but smirk,

She looked at me, "Please tell me that's not Kendall."

I giggled. "No worries, That's Logan one of my bosses. Who's single by the way." I hinted not so subte.

She looked at me with the biggest grin, "Maybe later this week we can all have lunch together."

"Sounds good. Are you sure you're okay?" She asked as I went to get out of the car. I turned back to her and smiled,

"I'm good. Just not looking forward to explaining why Declan didn't bring me back but it'll be alright." We both laughed and said goodbye once again then I shut her car door and walked up the steps.

Logan was looking at me funny, as Harper's car drove away. "I'm sorry didn't you leave you with a man in a mustang?"

I sat down beside on him on the bench, "Yeah. Let's just say that I don't think you guys will be going to my wedding anytime soon." I laughed.

"Didn't go so well?"

I shook my head, "Not really. But hey you live and learn. Where is everybody?"

"Carlos went out that girl again tonight. I'm pretty sure he's getting pretty serious about her. And Kendall, well I am pretty sure he went to James'."

"Why?"

"Do you like Kendall?" Logan asked ignoring the question I had asked.

"I like all of you." I stated simply.

"Ivy, it's me you're talking too. Be honest. Do you have feelings for Kendall?"

I nodded, "Yes, I do."

"Then why did you agree to go with out with Declan?"

"Because, I thought it would be a way for me to move on from Tyler and he was sweet and nice earlier. What Kendall said just pushed me to it, I didn't go out with the guy just because Kendall had hurt my feelings. I wasn't being a bitch about it."

"So you didn't go out with him just because of Kendall? Kendall really upset you didn't he?"

I refused to look at him and covered my face with my hands as I felt the tears coming. I soon felt an arm wrap around me.

"ivy, listen to me. Kendall really didn't mean what he said." Logan said as he rubbed my arm soothingly.

"Yes, he did Logan. That's okay. I just know that he will never like me so I will stick with being his roommate, employee and friend. I can live with that. As long as all these conversations stay between us. Please, Logan."

He looked like he wanted to argue with me but then nodded his head in agreement.

"So, who brought you home?"

I lifted my head and smiled at him, "My best friend, Harper. I called her when I walked out of the restaurant and she came and picked me up. I told her maybe the three of us could go to lunch sometime next week." I finished with a cheeky grin.

He looked a little scared. "Why do I not like that look?" I laughed and gave him a hug and thanked him for being a good friend then decided that it was time for me to go to bed. Surprisingly I went to sleep feeling a lot better than I thought I would.
