My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 18

[[Hear Me Out]]

The days passed slowly. I didn't know what else I could have expected to be honest, I was staying at my granmas, who happens to live in the middle of no where. With nothing to do I'm constantly rethinking everything that happened on that Friday.

I hadn't spoken to any of them, I hadn't let myself cry nor did I let my emotions show. I had to get through this one way or another and there was no point in wasting my time crying over them when they didn't have the decency to take one minute to hear what I had to say.

I mean, those things that Olivia had recorded, I wasn't even talking about them! Apart from Kat and Matt but Olivia totally twisted my words. I knew I should have checked the damned stalls.

What also helped me was talking to Wilson every night on the phone. I was now more then excited then ever for them to arrive, their plane had landed a few hours ago. Wilson had insisted on picking me up from my Granma's tomorrow morning and my mum was more then happy to take the opportunity to have a lay in.

I spoke to Poppy over the phone a few times aswel. Her 9th birthday was coming up and she was explaining all her party details to me. Of course, she invited me, she invited Zac aswel but I told her that we had a fall out and were no longer speaking. For a eight nearly nine year old, she has a bit of a temper. She demanded...demanded!! Me to tell her everything and after she asked me if she wanted her to beat him up for me. I couldn't stop laughing as she kept ranting on about him to me down the phone. Even a eight year took the time to hear myside of things when my best friends wouldn't.

The day it happen was the only day I cried, it was the only day that I got upset about it. Now, oh, now I was angry and mad. I couldn't believe my so called best friends just threw me out in the rain because of our long term enemy. They should know better.

A sloppy wet tongue licked my hands and I snapped out of my train of thoughts. I looked down at my Granma's chocolate labrador as he nudged the tennis ball by my feet. I smiled down at him and threw the ball again for him. To keep me entertained I had been taking Rex, the labrador, on daily walks.  

When he returned with the ball in his mouth, I put his lead back on and headed back. My thoughts drifted away as my excitiment for seeing Wilson and the others took over and for the first time in a while I smiled, not a forced smile, a real smile.

Maybe things wouldn't be so bad when I went home and had Kerri and the guys with me.

"Sophie, your ride's here!" My Granma shouted as I looked around the room making sure I had everything I brought. Nodding to myself, I shut the door and skipped into the living room and hugged my Granma.

"Thank you for letting me stay here Granma." I said as squeezed me tight.

"Don't worry dear. You know you're welcome anytime, just don't leave it too long next time." She warned me as she pulled away. I smiled and nodded. "Oh, and tell Matt I would like a word with him when you get home please." Nodding again I walked toward the door. "Bye dear."

"Bye." Opening and closing the door, I put my bag on the floor.

"Long time no see." I smiled big and I turned around and ran to Wilson. He stumbled back a bit from the impact but caught me. "Whoa."

"I missed you." I squealed and tightened my grip.

"Why do we never get welcome's like that?" I looked up over Wilson's shoulder at Kerri who had her arms crossed.

"Because, she loves me the most and let's face it...I'm just that awesome!" Wilson said letting me down.

"Oh, you wish." Kerri scoffed. I rolled my eyes and held my arms out for Kerri. She huffed and looked away.
