Love Me For Me

Chp. 25

Evelyn P.O.V

I haven't seen my cousin in over and a month and I've missed her terribly. Greyson decided that we should surprise visit Rosie and throw a party for her becoming a model. My mom and Aunt Selena come down but it was still going to be an amazing time.

Greyson and I were sitting by the pool's edge with out feet in the water. His arm was lazily around my waist while his hand rested on my thigh. "Eve!" I heard Alli say from across the pool. I got up and ran towards Alli throwing my arm around her neck. "I've missed you so much!" It's been awhile since I've talked to my best friend so we definitely have a lot of catching up to do.

I broke away from Alli and gave a side hug to Ryan. We weren't that close like we used to be which was a real shame."How've you been Evelyn?" Ryan asked pulling Alli close to him. "I've been doing great actually." He just simply nodded focusing his attention back to Alli. I felt distant towards them so I started saying hello to everyone else.

"When is Cody and Rosie getting here?" I sat in a lawn chair beside Justin. "They should be here in a few minutes." His attention didn't leave his phone when he spoke to me. "Who's the girl?" I nudged Justin lightly making him blush. "The girl's name is Gianna and she's amazing." I couldn't but feel proud for my friend. He hasn't smiled or even thought about another girl after his break up with Selena.

"How did you two meet?" I could tell he was thinking back to the day they had met by how his eyes shown bright. "I chose her as my One Less Lonely Girl and I couldn't help but want to get to know her better." I smiled at how he spoke about her. He was finally moving on and becoming happy once again.

"When do I get to meet her?" I trained my attention towards Greyson who was talking to Cody and Alli. "I invited her to the party so she should be here any moment." Greyson motioned Justin to come over by him leaving me by myself.

"Evelyn!" I heard my mother and Aunt Selena's voices after a couple of minutes of silence. I looked up and saw them standing by Justin and Greyson. i couldn't help but feel tears run down my face as I walked over towards them.

I hugged them both tightly feeling their arms stretch around my body. "How did you get here?" I choked out the tears slowly fading away. "You should thank your boyfriend and his friend." My mother's voice said. I pulled away and turned towards the boys.

I kissed Greyson lightly on the lips and pulled Justin into a tight hug. While I was hugging Justin I saw a girl standing behind him.

Justin pulled away and introduced me to Gianna. She had light brown eyes, brown hair with blond highlights, and she was just beyond beautiful. "Have I seen you before?" She seemed so familiar to me but I couldn't put my finger on where. "I think we've met during the American Eagle commercial."

"Oh yes I remember that." Justin smiled showing relief that I approved of his girlfriend. Before I could she could reply I heard a gasp come from behind us. "Eve?" Rosie was behind Cody who was smiling at her reaction. "The one and only." I replied as she hugged me still surprised that I was here.

I felt her jump out of my arms making me walk back into Justin's back. I smiled sheeply at him hearing Rosie scream at Kailey before hugging her tightly. "I thought you couldn't come visit since you had school?" I saw Kailey pointing towards Cody who instantly blushed looking down at his feet. I just chuckled while they shared a sweet kiss.

Rosie P.O.V

It's been four hours into the party and it was amazing. Evelyn told me that Kailey and Gianna would be joining me with my modeling. I was extremely happy since I didn't have to do this alone and I would have my friends with me. Gianna has gotten close to us girls fairly quickly so it felt like we've known each other for years.
