Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMA’s POV : 

We didn't stay the night at the cabin.

lan and I had to drive back to Georgia early in the morning, so we drove back to his mom’s house that night.Hailey and AJ were riding in the car with us.They were both asleep, sitting in the backseat.lan and I didn’t talk much during the car ride.

We just listened to music and he held my hand.We got back pretty late, around 11 PM.We only had a couple of hours to sleep before we had to leave early in the morning.

So I jumped in the shower and dried my hair.When I was done, I was ready for sleep, so I climbed on the bed.lan was still reading something on his phone.I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and said, "Good night,"

I turned to my side and closed my eyes, waiting for the darkness to let me sleep, but then I felt lan moved.

He scooted closer to me, wrapping me in his arms from behind.

"Hey, you're being especially quiet tonight.Is everything ok?" he said as his fingers ran soothingly down my arm.

I opened my eyes and turned to the side.

He cocked his head and narrowed his eyes at me, waiting for an explanation.

I guess I was being quiet on purpose.

This morning started off great, but things kinda went sour in the afternoon.

As soon as Ally came into the cabin, she wouldn't stop grilling me about my relationship with lan.

How we met, how long we've been together, what our future plans look like, and so and so forth.

Thankfully, Hailey would chime in once in a while with a different topic to discuss.

The worst part though, was when Ally spilled stories after stories about lan and his friends in the good old days.They all knew each other since they were kids.They had inside jokes and everything.

I felt sort of left out and I didn’t know if Ally was doing this on purpose.

By dinnertime, I felt completely forgotten.

Sure, lan was always around me, he would hold my hand or kiss my cheek, but his attention was somewhere else.

Ally was the center of everyone’s attention.

And I swear, sometimes she and lan would share this secretive lookas if they were the only two people in that room.

"Baby girl, what’s on your mind?" lan said again.

"You've told your friends all about me. But I never knew anything about them," I spoke up finally.

"That's because you're an interesting topic to me. I wanna talk about you to anyone that'll listen,"

"But then I don’t know anything your friends, or the good old days when you used to live here,"

"You wanna know about my friends?" he laughed ,

 "Sure, I'll tell you everything.What do you wanna know?"

"I don't know..." I trailed, 

"What were they like, I guess?"

"Well, you've met them all.Tommy and AJ are my best friends in the entire world.We used to get into a lot of trouble when we were kids.Sometimes I still can’t believe that Tommy's married with three kids"

"How about Ally? She seems to know you well," I shot point blankly.

That was what I wanted to ask all night long.

"Are you two super close?"

"Yeah, kinda," he shrugged.

"Like, how close?"

"Emma," he said my name as if he was scolding me

"Are you being jealous right now?"

"No," I scoffed and flushed my face against the pillow.

"Hey," he laughed softly and tilted my face back to him,

 "We're just old friends.We used to fool around a little bit when we were young, but that was years ago,"

"So, you and her...you guys dated?" the word made a lump in my throat.

"No, we never dated," he was quick to answer,
