"What did I do wrong?" I asked "Nothing, if he ran out on you then that's on him, it's not your fault" Georgie said, I was wary to let her in on the knowledge that me and Tommy had been sleeping together But she seemed to actually be giving me some good advice
"Exactly, he says I love you and then bolts? That's stupid" Dorothy said "I guess, I just thought... I don't know it was different, we were different" I tried to explain.
It was like months of tension and feelings had exploded And it felt good It felt like we both... cared for each other In a romantic way And then saying I love you.
That threw my head like a whirlwind But then he runs?
"Look what you need, is a new man, the best way to get over someone who's never going to commit, is to find someone who will" Georgie suggested "I don't know Georgie" I said unsure "Oh come on, at least entertain someone else, it'll either make him jealous and he'll finally admit he's acting on feelings or he was never worth it and you find someone who'll treat you right, you can't lose" she shrugged.
"I hate to say it, but maybe she's right" Dotty said "Excuse me" she said pointedly, before she continued coating her lips in red "I mean, you and Tommy have been this... tension filled will they won't they... thing for years now. Maybe it is time for something different. Especially if he still isn't committing" she explained.
"Maybe. I don't know..." I said, fixing my hair in the mirror "Just have a drink tonight yeah? See if anyone takes your fancy" Georgie said I nodded. A party at Danny's house couldn't be so bad. Could it?
Tommy's POV
"Slow down yeah? No ones even here yet" Freddie chuckled, but I didn't listen I just kept drinking I can't believe I fucking said it I can't get the picture of her face out of my head
The look of pure surprise and... what must be confusion She didn't want me. She never wanted me like that and I went and fucking told her I loved her.
Fucking idiot. "Tom? What's wrong?" Danny asked "Nothing, leave me alone" I said. I already felt out of it. I planned to be comatose I didn't want to feel like this. Like utter shit.
Like I'd lost her all over again. And it really fucking hurt "Tommy, what happened?" Freddie asked "I said leave me alone" I snapped, getting up.
Don't why I fucking came?
Mariana's POV
By the time we had gotten to Danny's house, there were people everywhere Drinking, dancing, chatting I caught sight of Freddie heading into the kitchen, and grabbed him aside
