better off without you

23

after a while cole and shane had gotten to the house
we were just standing in the front hall for a while talking
"alright i need to make cupcakes" owen sighs
and the two boys laugh
"shut up"

shane pulls me behind with him while owen and cole go to the kitchen
"hey how're you doing" he asks
"fine i guess, where did owen learn to fight"
"oh uh he should tell you not me" he says
how bad could it be that not even shane can tell me.

i walk with him to the kitchen and sit at the island with him
"how the fuck do i make these" owen asks
"read the box" i tell him
"no shit, i did but i still don't get it"
i shrug leaving him helpless.

i knew he was annoyed with me he made it obvious but i didn't care i was annoyed with him too

"alana do you know how to make these"
"yup"
"so can you help me"
"nope"
shane and cole laugh
"jesus alana what the fuck" he sounded really mad now
"do you know how to crack an egg" i ask
"obviously"
i get up from the chair and attempt to help him but working with him is like working with a wall

"would you pay me if i drank a raw egg" cole asks the three of us
"no can you just give it to owen so he can crack it in the bowl" i say
"dude you've been trying to do this for 15 minutes just make the stupid cupcakes" shane says
"for repeal." cole adds
"alright alright" he cracks the egg and adds all the other things he needs to make the cupcakes

"wow you did it" i say sarcastically
it was funny watching him try to bake
the three of us just observed but the best part was that he was right handed and he broke his right hand

"how long do they cook for" he asks
"read the box"  cole says
"why do they make this so difficult" he groans
"it's been like 30 minutes they could have been don't but now" i tell him
"i'm going to throw you in the pool" he threatens
i laugh thinking he's not serious
"trust me he will" shane says
"do it and i'll kill you" i say to owen

he puts the cupcakes in the oven then sets a timer on his phone
"worth it" he says 
"i don't have any clothes here don't do it owen seriously" i tell him
he looks at shane and cole and they shrug
"ok help me out here" i say looking at them

"he over powers us, sorry"
owen grins and starts walking towards me
"stop owen don't" i say backing away
"get her" cole shouts after the two of us start running

unfortunately owen was faster and had managed to catch up with me picking me up with his good arm
"if i go in the pool you're going with me" i threaten
"fine by me"
"i'm only wearing a sweatshirt and shorts i don't have clothes here"
"so you can wear mine, every problem you have i have a solution" he says

"i hate you so much"
he laughs and walks out to the pool deck dragging me with him
"it's cold in the pool"
"no it's not" he says
"your bandage is gonna get wet"
"i can re wrap it "
"i don't wanna go in" i yell

shane and cole come outside and watch as i try to get out of his grip but suddenly i'm emerged in cold water
i pop up quickly to see owen laughing beside me
"what the fuck" i splash him
"cmon it was funny"
"no it wasn't"
"not even a little?" he asks
"nope"

i lift myself out of the pool and up on the deck where shane and cole are
the pull them into a hug soaking them with my heavy dripping sweatshirt
"ew alana" cole says trying to get out of my grip
"oh i'm sorry is that not funny?"
"alright alright point proven" shane says

thanks god- it was hard to keep both of them in my wingspan of -2 considering i was just barely up to there necks

i released them and turned to see owen still in the pool
"what are you doing" i ask
"it's nice" he says
"well i'm gonna go get dry clothes on" i tell him
he nods as i walk passed shane and cole and into the house
i check the cupcakes before going upstairs, hopefully they would be done by the time i came down

when i got to owens room i began the search for the clothes i wanted to wear
i ended up picking a big t shirt and boxers he had because his regular shorts would be too long
when i go to open the door owen is standing in front of it
"nice outfit" he says
i unknowingly bite my lip looking at him
he had taken off his shirt and was left on his pants from earlier
"earth to alana" he jokes
i snap out of it and turn my attention to him
"mhm" i mumble
he comes closer, his body pushing me in the room and he closes the for behind him

"wearing my boxers?" he laughs
"your shorts would be capris" i tell him
"fair enough"
i lay on his bed with my back to him scrolling through my phone
"we gonna go back down?" he asks
i turn to see him still with no shirt but now in different sweatpants
i nod and follow behind him down the stairs

he goes in the living room with the guys while i stay in the kitchen
i head mumbles until shane speaks up

"tyson wants you tomorrow morning until 3:30" he says
who's tyson?
"tell him i can't" owen says sounding annoyed
"you blew off the last few months you're going to need a new manager" cole whispers but i can still barley hear it
"fine i'll be there" owen sighs

i chose to pretend i didn't hear anything rather then questioning him about it but i did wonder what was going on
