Well, she’s come to visit JJ because they’re together now
I saw a video of them doing it on JJ’s computer and I wanted to gouge my eyes out
OMG NO
That did not happen
Oh, it happened and I’m never going to be able to look at them the same again
Yikes, that’s rough
How are things with your sister?
A lot better
This summer was tough, for both of us. But we sorted things out
Does she know?
My heart hammers in my chest because I know she’s referencing the rumour.
Yeah, she knows
I didn’t tell her, she found out and it was a bad time.
I thought I was going to lose her for good
It’s better that she knows. Even if you weren’t the one to tell her. I’m glad you sorted things out
I was a coward
I’m just glad she has JJ
Skye is down now, gonna shower and take a nap
Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow
I’m really looking forward to it
I lock my phone and throw it down onto my bed before heading out of my door. That’s when laughter filters through my ears again, and I pause by JJ’s bedroom. Ivy is sitting on his lap as he murmurs something in her ear, and she giggles like a schoolgirl.
I donotneed reminders of that video.
My head twists, and I walk downstairs to the kitchen. I grab myself a glass of water and down it all in one go. Footsteps alert me, and I glance over my shoulder as Ivy appears.
“Hey,” she says softly, her blonde hair tied up in a messy bun. “You okay?”
“Yeah. You?”
Ivy nods. “Yeah, how is everything? How’s Maya and Skye?”
“Yeah…” I trail off. “They’re good.”
“Not seeing them today?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Oh.” She raises her chin before playing with the hem of her hoodie. “I can’t wait to meet them both.”
