Palm Springs
Chapter 3
“What did Vic say?”
“Can we not talk about Vic?” I snapped, I was so annoyed and tired by this point. “Sorry, I’m just tired of his bullshit”
“It’s okay, I can imagine the irritation you get from Vic giving you all this attention” Jersey sarcastically commented, I was taken back from what she said and just stared at her.
“Come on girls, put your claws away” Lanta sang as she came out of the shower; hair wet and in a robe.
“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, offended and a bit hurt.
“Amy, I know you and I will bet you a lot of money and say that you compared Eric to Vic”
“What does it matter anyway?” I asked, guilty as charged.
“You haven’t been in a serious relationship ever since Vic kissed you, it was a few dates or one night stands here or there but ever since you’ve been comparing ever guy that may have a chance of actually liking you and comparing them to Vic” Jersey explain; I mean she was right, I hadn’t been in a relationship since then but that’s not because of Vic, it’s because I was scared but I’m not letting her know that.
“I have no idea where you are getting at” I stated, jumping up to sit on the marble counter and looking at her again.
“Ever since Cara, you’ve become rebellious against Vic and whether you know it or not, you subconsciously crave the attention Vic give you – it gives you this wholesome place in you that makes you aware that he’s still there and he still cares” Lanta jumped in and I looked between both of them.
I tried to comprehend what they were saying; some sort of conclusion.
“Are you saying that I like Vic?” I asked, confused and I could feel a head-ache started to form in the temples of my head.
“We’re saying that you have feelings for him”
There was no way I liked Vic, we had been friends for too long and that kiss meant nothing. We were just caught in the moment. Vic seemed like a brother to me, he annoyed me but he was always here. But I did compare a lot of guys to Vic, I guess because I’ve seen him with a lot of girlfriends. He’s sweet, caring and listens. Not a lot of guys are like that.
“You guys are insane”
“And you’re delusional” Jersey stated laughing.
“Okay, when’s the beach party?” I asked, laughing back at her.
“In two hours” Lanta answered, playing with her wet hair.
“I guess we’ll have to start getting ready” Jersey stated, looking at me and I looked at her.
We began to run to the bathroom; lucky for me I didn’t trip over Pauly the pug and got to the bathroom first.
“Ha”
“You bitch!”

All dressed and dandy, we walked to beach and walked over to where Eric, Jake and Trevor were sitting. I sat beside Eric, scooting closer to him and smiling at him.
“You showed up” He whispered and I cringed at the feeling of his whisper.
“I could leave if you want” I stated and he laughed, shaking his head.
“No stay” He whispered and wrapped his arm around me.
“Picture!” I heard someone shout; but I wasn’t paying attention and looking at Eric. I had this urge to smile and I did. We were just staring and I was brought back to reality when Lanta pushed passed me, screaming she wanted the picture.
“Let’s go for a walk” Eric whispered and helped me up, before we started walking down the beach.
I was completely sober the whole night; but we kissed under fireworks like a cliché movie and it was all so fast. But I liked Eric a lot.
Vic’s POV
@lantanna : official first day of summer; it’s going to be a good one #summer #love
The pit of my stomach got tied up seeing Amy; another boy’s arm around her and seeing them share a moment like that. Jealous ran through me, I didn’t know why but it did. I threw my phone in my bunk and grabbed my guitar. I started on a fresh new guitar, starting to write a few lyrics and getting angry when all I could think about was Amy. But I don’t like her, she’s my sister, my best friend and nothing more. I just didn’t want her to get.
My feelings were everywhere, I almost started crying but I held together. I looked up to see Rayvn standing there. The emotions running through me gave me no control and I grabbed her hair, pulling her towards me and I kissed her. My hands were stiff; roaming her and that night I was not drunk on alcohol but drunk on emotion.
I woke up, with Ray sleeping on my chest and that’s when I decided one thing.
I admitted it, I have feelings for America.
And I have to stop them.
