The Babysitter

Chapter 11: Ew

*JOEY'S POV*

I walk away from their doorstep after dropping off the flowers. I go home instantly, my eyes red and puffy.

I ignore my parents and even Delilah. I go upstairs to my room locking the door and laying in bed.

Tears continuously roll down my cheeks.
"What did i do wrong?" I sob to myself running my hands through my hair. The moon light shining through my window into my eyes.

I get a message, i instantly open it hoping it's Sadie. It's not. It's Bella.

Me and Bella used to date back in freshman year. She used me to get more popular. I really dislike her now. Everything about her makes me cringe.

*Sadie broken up with you yet?*

what?

*How do you know about that?*

*I told her too duh. I was doing you a favour. That girl could ruin your reputation. And plus, i'm better than her anyway. Come over for some fun pretty boy*

What the fuck.

Anger fules up inside of me. I rip my covers off taking my phone off charge and storming downstairs.

As i open the front door i see Sadie standing there. I step back before i slam right into her.

"Can we talk?" She fiddles with her fingers.
"Of course." I keep my voice soft not showing my anger.

We go upstairs to my room ignoring the looks from my parents.

She sits on the edge of my bed her legs bouncing up and down. I bob down infront of her placing my hands on her knees. Her eyes snap to mine making my heart speed up.

"I-i'm sorry." Her lip quivels. Tears stream down my cheeks.
"Don't be sorry. I know what Bella said."
"I don't know why she got to me."
"It's okay." I wipe her tears.
"Thank you for the flowers."
"It's alright. You know you are good enough for me right?"
She shrugs.
"I don't want anyone else. I wouldn't say that if i didn't mean it. I've got you and i'm not letting you go anywhere."

A small smile comes onto her lips.
"Thank you. I've got you too."
A smile comes onto my face.
"So we're good?" She asks.
"We're more than good." I place a kiss to her lips.

We get under the covers of the bed. She lays her head on my chest, our legs tangled, our arms around one another.

I instantly block Bella on everything.
"You don't have to block her."
"She made my girlfriend cry. Yes i do."
I feel her smile on my chest.
"I never liked her anyway. I was terrified she was going to apply for the baby sitting job just to see me."
She giggles which makes tingles erupt inside of me.

"Can you stay the night?" I ask stroking her hair.
"I'll have to ask my mum."
"Let me do it, she loves me."

I pull my phone out messaging her, of course she said yes.

I watch as she scrolls on tiktok. She comes across a girl, i can feel her body tense. She watches it over and over.

"Scroll." I mumble.
"I'm watching."
"Stop it. Your perfect."
"But look at her. Blonde hair, blue ey-"
