Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. This chapter takes place in mid to late November. This chapter will flip between Bella's POV, Deylia's POV, and JT's POV so please read carefully. This chapter contains lots of Drama and Romance. I tried not to go into to much detail to still keep it appropriate for all readers.
Learning to Work Together
Bella's POV
Today is Friday. Next week is only a two day school week and then we have the rest of the week off for Thanksgiving Break. This semester JT, Deylia, and I are all in World History together. It was our final class of the day. So far I had no homework for the weekend so I was happy.
"So according to other students that have this class earlier we are getting a group project today." Deylia said
"Just when I thought I was going to have a homework free weekend." I said
"At least it's a group one meaning we can work together." Deylia said
After the teacher announced the project Deylia and I chose each other as partners. Every group had to pick a country and do a poster board and power point to teach the rest of the class about the country.
"So what country do you think we should do?" I asked Deylia
"If we did the UK, it would be an easy A." Deylia said
"True, I do know a lot about the UK." I said
Then the teacher announced that one group would have to be 3 people instead of 2 because there was an odd number of students in the class. The teacher then told JT to join our group.
"I can't have your cousin in our group." Deylia said
"Why not?" I asked
"In case you haven't noticed JT and I are no longer friends." Deylia said
"What ever is going on between you and JT just forget about it so we can get a good grade on in this project." I said
"If you don't want me in this group then I will just ask our teacher to put me in a different one." JT said
"JT, I want you in this group and if Deylia has a problem with it then she is the one that needs to change groups." I said
"If you knew what happened between us then you wouldn't be on his side." Deylia said
"Then just tell me what happened, Deylia." I said
"I can't talk about it right now." Deylia said
"Fine, but JT is staying in this group." I said
World History class was almost over for the day. JT, Deylia, and I decided to meet tomorrow afternoon at my house to work on the project. The project is due the Monday after Thanksgiving. Meaning we only had about a week and a half to get it done. The next morning my mom and Ian had a fight so he left and Ryan went with him.
"Are they coming back?" I asked my mom
"Ian and I decided it would be better if him and Ryan went back to their house for a few days." My mom said
"Maybe it's better this way." I said
"Do you have plans today because I have most of the day available to spend with you." My mom said
"JT and Deylia are coming over in 2 hours. We have this big World History project to work on together." I said
"Let me know if you need my help." My mom said
"The person I could really use help from is dad but he isn't here so that's not possible." I said
"When is it due because your dad is going to be here November 26." My mom said
I had completely forgotten that my dad was coming to visit over the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years holidays.
"December 1st." I said
"I will be going grocery shopping and doing some other errands so have fun working on the project with your friends." My mom said
JT got to my house on time and Deylia texted saying she was going to be late.
"Should we wait for Deylia or get started on the project?" JT asked
"We should be nice and wait for her." I said
"I'm sure Deylia will be here soon." JT said
"My dad is coming to visit over the holidays. His plane gets in next Wednesday and he is staying for just over a month." I said
"That's good so you will have plenty of time to spend with him." JT said
"Are you two going to be able to work together without fighting?" I asked
"Deylia is way overreacting." JT said
"Maybe if I knew what was going on between you two I could help resolve it so you and Deylia can be friends again." I said
"It's complicated Bella, I really don't want you getting in the middle of it." JT said
"I want to know. You have been friends with Deylia longer then I have. I just don't understand how all of the sudden you two can stop being friends." I said
"If you really want to know then I will tell you but please think before you react in a bad way." JT said
"Whatever it is I'm sure it can't be that bad." I said
"Deylia and I slept together twice. Once over Labor Day Weekend and Once during Homecoming weekend." JT said
"You're the reason Branden broke up with Deylia. I can't believe you would do something like this. You're the worst cousin ever JT" I yelled
"I'm not the worst cousin ever. My older sister has done worse things then me." JT said
"Really, Like what?" I asked
"A few months ago Rochelle hooked up with your ex boyfriend and she even thought she was pregnant but it was a false alarm." JT said
"Tyler would never do that to me." I yelled
I didn't think like JT wanted me to. I couldn't take it anymore so I left. JT didn't even try to stop me from leaving. I drove for a while and then I ended up at a bar. I was underage but I had a fake ID saying that I was 21. It was the middle of a Saturday afternoon so the bar was fairly empty. I recognized someone though, It was Ryan. I don't know why but I sat next to him. We were both drinking and started a friendly conversation. I didn't have that much cash on me but Ryan gave me some more cash. It was almost like he was trying to get me drunk.
I let my intoxicated brain affect my decision making when I asked Ryan to get into my car. I was to drunk to drive anyway. We were siting in the back of the car talking.
"Well I won't be able to drive home any time soon." I said
"I took the city bus here just in case I had to much to drink." Ryan said
"Smart choice, Which is surprising for you." I said
"So why did you decide to go to a bar?" Ryan asked
"I was just out driving around town and I ended up here." I said
Then we kissed. It wan't even romantic at first. I thought about stopping him but I didn't. I figured if JT can have sex with Deylia and Tyler can have sex with Rochelle then I can have sex with Ryan. I knew it was wrong to begin with but he was the only one that I had right now. It wasn't nearly as romantic as the multiple times that I've slept with Tyler. If I wasn't drunk then I wouldn't have let this happen.
Deylia's POV
I showed up at Bellas house. It was an hour later then I was supposed to show up.
"So you finally decided to show up." JT said
"Sorry, My brother had the car this morning and both of my parents were busy so I was on babysitting duty." I said
"We could have meet at your house instead." JT said
"It's not like we would have got any work done while I was babysitting Darcy and Will. So where's Bella?" I asked
"She left so until she comes back it's just the two of us working on this project." JT said
"Why would she leave? Bella is the one that can help us the most with this project." I asked
"I told Bella what happened between us. She got mad at me and left." JT said
"I'm sorry." I said
"Don't be sorry it was me that got us into this mess to begin with. If it wasn't for me you and Branden would still be dating." JT said
"I actually do have feelings for you." I said
"Really, after everything that happened?" JT asked
"I've had them for awhile but I was afraid to tell you because I didn't want to mess up our friendship." I said
"Our friendship is already not perfect." JT said
JT's POV
I think Deylia and I were really meant for each other. When we kissed it felt perfect. When I'm with Deylia I forget about all the drama that went down with my ex girlfriend. I was finally over her and ready to move on. I wanted to be in a real relationship not just the friends with benefits kind that Deylia and I sort of started the first time we slept together. If Bella caught us doing it in her bed I know she would be super upset with both me and Deylia. I just hope that we don't get caught.
"This is really wrong." Deylia said
"Would it be better if we went back to your house or my house to continue this?" I asked
"What's the point, that's just going to waste unnecessary time." Deylia said
"I just don't want Bella to hate us anymore for doing this in her bed." I said
"This will be our little secret. I promise not to tell her if you also promise not to tell her." Deylia said
Bella's POV
"Did you buy me extra drinks on purpose so we would end up doing this?" I asked
"Maybe." Ryan said
"I hate you." I said
"It looked like you were enjoying it just as much as I was." Ryan said
"I might have been but it's not like I actually planed on hooking up with you today or any day." I said
"Part of me wants your mom and my dad to break things off so we can date each other but the other part of me thinks it's a lot more fun to sneak around."Ryan said
"Dating me means you can't have any romantic moments with any other girl." I said
"I can only do that if you promise not to turn me down whenever I'm in the mood for sex." Ryan said
"Let me think about this and I will let you know when I've made my decision." I said
"Ok, but just to let you know I can still get you those drugs." Ryan said
"I told you that I was done with drugs." I said
"Once you get started you can't stop." Ryan said
"I'm clean now and I intend to stay that way." I said
Ryan left and I was all alone. I still didn't feel sober enough to drive home. In order to get home I was going to have to call someone for a ride. I thought about calling my mom but then I decided to call my aunt Spencer and uncle Toby. About 30 minutes later they showed up to take me home.
"I'm proud of you Bella for doing the right thing and calling us." Spencer said
"Proud of her, You wouldn't say that if it was one of our kids, would you?" Toby asked
"Lets just get her home, I'll figure out how I'm going to explain this to my sister later." Spencer said
"I don't want my mom finding out about this." I said
"Then we're not taking you home." Toby said
"Fine but let me be the one to tell my mom." I said
Toby drove me home in my car while Spencer followed in one of their cars. I could tell my uncle was mad at me because the ride home was almost completely silent. Their was a short conversation when we got back to my house.
"Your a good kid Bella but stop making all these bad decisions." Spencer said
"I'm sorry." I said
"Do you want us to be there when you tell your mom about this?" Toby asked
"No." I said
"If JT and Deylia are here then why were you at a bar getting drunk?" Spencer asked
"The three of us were supposed to be working on this project together but plans change." I said
"I'm worried about you Bella. This past year you have been acting like a completely different person with the drugs and the drinking. The drugs and the drinking need to stop or you are going to end up just like your father. I know your dad's not really around for you right now but I'm here for you." Toby said
My aunt and uncle said goodbye and then they left. I thought Deylia and JT would be working on the project but instead I caught them doing something else.
"Seriously you two had to have sex in my bed." I said
"Sorry Bella." Both JT and Deylia said at the same time while trying to get their cloths back on.
"Just leave and I never want to see either of you in my room again." I said before running to the bathroom to throw up.
Of course Deylia and JT followed into the bathroom.
"Are you ok?" Deylia asked
"I thought I told both of you two leave." I said
"Bella, did you go out and get drunk?" JT asked
"Yes but before you ask I called your parents JT to pick me up and take me home." I said
"At least you made one smart decision." Deylia said
"You really are just like your father Bella." JT said
Without any further words JT and Deylia left. I felt like crying. My life is so messed up right now. I took a shower and then my mom got home moments later. She cooked dinner and I knew I was going to have to tell her what happened but I didn't want to have the conversation over dinner. After dinner I started the world history project by myself.
"I thought that it was a group project." My Mom said
"It is but JT, Deylia, and I didn't exactly work on it earlier." I said
"Why was that?" My Mom asked
"Can I talk to you about something?" I asked
"Yes, Is this good or bad?" My Mom asked
"Bad but before you get mad at me just know I learned from the mistake I made." I said
"Just tell me and we can talk about it." My Mom said
"I went to a bar and used my fake ID to get drunk." I said
"Really Bella, I thought you knew better then that but I guess I should have expected this considering your father was an alcoholic." My Mom said
"I didn't mean for it to happen." I said
"Then why did you do it?" My Mom asked
"I guess I was just mad at JT and Deylia. They started dating behind my back. Deylia was cheating on her boyfriend and JT was the reason they broke up." I said
"How did you get home? I hope you didn't drive if you were drunk." My Mom asked
"No, I called Aunt Spencer and Uncle Toby to pick me up." I said
"Bella, I know you're sorry but I'm still going to have to ground you and take your car away for a few weeks." My Mom said
"I promise I'll never do this again." I said
"If you ever do something like this again you will be going to boarding school. An old friend of your dad is still the head of admissions at this boarding school in the UK that both his son and daughter went to." My Mom said
"Those schools are really hard to get into and I'll be done with high school in just over a year and a half anyway." I said
"If you don't want to go to boarding school then you need to keep out of trouble." My Mom said
I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I did. I will try to update more often but I am thinking about staring a story for "The Fosters" soon.
