Ryder's alarm blaring from beside me woke me up "can you shut that thing up" I complained pulling the covers further up my body

"You do it" Ryder mutters

"I'll do it" I suddenly jump up when a very feminine voice pipes up

Moms to be exact

Ryder sits up beside me as shocked as I am

Mom tries to hide her smirk "at least ye didn't wake me up"

"Oh my god" I cover my face with my hands "it's not what you think"

"I'm not stupid Talia, just please tell me you used protection. You're on the pill right?"

"Uhhh" I drop myself back in the bed mortified

Ryder doesn't say anything, I'm pretty sure he was trying not to laugh

"Schools in an hour you guys should probably get up" she suggests before walking out

"Your moms the best"

I move my hands from my face, giving him my 'are you serious' face "what? You're joking"

He shakes his head looking back at me "I'm serious, my mom wouldn't even act like she cares whether or not I get up"

Something about the way Ryder says that, makes me think there's more to the story. There's something in his voice I can't decipher

"I'm sure she does"

He shrugs "Can I use your shower? Oh and can I get a ride to school I'm not in the mood to drive"

"Sure" I say and he walks out

Ryder's shower didn't take long so then I quickly done my morning routine. I left my straight hair down and decided on wearing a camo green crop top and matching tracksuits

When I got to the kitchen Ryder was sitting at the island scrolling through his phone. I grab an apple and leave an extra one beside him to eat on the way

"Ready?" I ask

He nods and stands up. When we get outside the morning sun hits me straight away and it was surprisingly really warm

"Awkward question but can you take a photo of me" I cringe at my words

He switches on his phone and I lean up against my moms car and do a few poses while Ryder takes photos

"Thank you" I say once he's finished

I park in my usual parking spot and we get out of my car. We go through the front doors when Cammy walks up to us a smirk on her face, with Helen not far behind her

"You're driving again? Looks like all you needed to do was to pretend to be traumatised to get Ryder to fuck you again. Then you'd magically get better" She snarls

I roll my eyes "I'm not doing this" I walk past her with Ryder beside me but he makes it further than I do when Cammy grabs my arm and thugs me back and releases me

"I mean look at your outfit you slut, you turn up to school with him the next day. I hope you told him about your other daddy issues"

"You bitch" I shout but don't raise my hand to hit her. If I even touch her, I already know the bitch will try to get me done for assault

Cammy instead raises her arm to hit me but Ryder steps on front of me "if you even look Talia's way again, I swear to god"

Her smirk only widens at this as she crosses her arms "Aww, I guess you haven't told him then otherwise it would disgust him to even say your name"

I step past a confused Ryder and move so that I'm only inches away from Cammy. Her smirk falters like I've suddenly intimidated her "Talk about that again Camilla and you won't even be able to say my name afterwards, because somewhere in that thick head of yours you'll remember that I'll do anything to stop myself from going down that road again"

Cammy looks generally scared when I turn around and walk away but not one part of me cares anymore

Ryder follows me and once we go around the corner I turn around to face him "look I know you're probably wondering what that was about and I promise I will tell you, just, just not today"

He nods "Its fine, I get it"

It's lunch before anything else interesting happens. Like our usual routine both Ryder and I are sitting at what's now 'our' table

Both of our phones beep and we make eye contact

"Great" I mutter before picking my phone up while Ryder does the same

Long time no gossip which probably has something to do with the fact our resident gossip weirdo has been too 'under the weather' to even say "boo"

Just in case you've been living under a rock recently Talia's ex best friend has turned on her admitting she was a slut and overreacting about her accident

And we couldn't agree more

And today it all came to blows with Cammy also revealing the reason for Talia's 'bad' injuries which was actually to get Ryder in bed with her and it seemed to have worked with him even defending her

I wonder how long that'll last when he realises all Talia is, is a crazy bitch and a slut who really isn't that pretty. I mean we even found this photo on his phone could he be anymore hypnotised - she's probably drugging him

Anyway that's all we have for now, we also have a video from this morning linked for you to see how crazy she is for yourself. Oh and Ry be careful she'll pretend to be on the pill to get pregnant to keep you around. That's what desperate people have to do.

Until next time

Xx

Ryder looks at me with a worried look on his face but I surprise him by laughing "well that's not the reaction I expected" he raises his eyebrow

"I mean I know I have a glow to me today but it's from moisturiser not sex" I grin "and drugging you seriously is that all they have?"

He grins "I love that about you"

"What?" I ask him

"The way you take everything and brush it off not many people would do that"

"At the start of the year I probably would have let it bother me, but something changed me, maybe the accident maybe you but I really couldn't care less what anyone thinks anymore"

"Well you should be proud of yourself"

"Thank you" I give him a genuine smile "so about this wedding where is it?"

"A few towns over" he informs me "I think they're booking a hotel for all the guests"

"That's so sweet"

I decided to go over and visit Emily and Oli at around 6pm to surprise her with me driving again. I feel like I haven't seen her in ages since she's moved out which was really weird

I knock twice on the door before letting myself in "Hey anyone home?" I shout into the house

"We're in the living room" Emily shouts back

I walk into the living room and sake my keys in the air "guess how I got here"

Emily gasps "oh no you didn't"

"You bet I did"

"How? When? What happened?"

"By putting my foot on the accelerator. Last night and Ryder needed a ride"

She runs over and hugs me "Talia I'm so proud of you" she grins

"So how have you been" I ask sitting down. Oli was in his play pin playing with some trucks

"Great actually I'm finally settled in and really enjoying my life" she tells me "I'm sorry it's been so long since I was last home but I've been so busy"

I shake my head "it's fine I think we've all been"

"So any gossip?" She asks me a grin on her face

"A shit load"

"I can't wait to hear all about it"

Half an hour later and I've updated Em on everything that's happened since we last seen each other. She suddenly gone quiet like she's have a debate in her head

"What's up?" I ask her

"You remember Alex right?"

"Cammys brother? Yeah"

"He's Oli's dad"
