Model Behavior | Zendaya

Chapter Four

"I'm not finished," I said to Trevor as kept fixing Betty. We are now out near the lake, having a mini photoshoot. Trevor hits a cocky pose. I laughed, "You could be a Calvin Klein model."
"Really?" He asked while I took another picture. I had to admit, the pictures were going well so far. He could honestly be a model.
"Don't get too excited." I laughed while putting down my camera, "You're very photogenic." I start to put Betty in camera bag until he stops me.
"Your turn," He smirks. What? I looked at him confused, but I nod. I give him my camera.
"I'm not photogenic." I said honestly. He points the camera towards me and takes a picture, "Hey! I didn't even pose."
"Off guard!" Trevor jokes. I roll my eyes playfully.
We took pictures most of the afternoon, finding different locations, making new jokes, and even talk about each other.
"What happened to you yesterday?" Trevor asks me as we walk back towards the lake house. My mouth dries up.
"Just upset," I give him a fake smile. He gives me a forced smile. He knows I'm lying. We walk back in silence until we reach the porch. Of course, I see Blondie and Liam. Something in me hurts a little. I ignore it. Liam and her we're having a serious conversation. They didn't look away from each other until we showed up.
"Hey guys," Trevor said to them, "Andrea. Liam." So that was her name? Andrea. Blondie, I mean, Andrea smiles at both of us. Liam just looks away. Everything was awkward since yesterday.
I give another force smile as Trevor opens the door for me and let's me go first. We both walk in together until I hear someone shout my name.
"Cia!" Blondie says. She catches up with me. She looks at Trevor and makes eye contact with him. I guess he understands what she means.
"I'll leave you ladies alone," He does a small smiles at me and leaves towards his room.
"I know we aren't on the best of terms. I just wanted to let you know-"
"We aren't?" I pressed, "I don't know you." Blondie frowns.
"My brother and law is having a party. I was wondering if all us girls could go," She said sadly. "Liam hates the idea of us going alone, but why not?" I swallowed. Of course Liam would hate the idea. I didn't want to go. Parties are not my thing. It will never be. I didn't feel comfortable.
"Yea," I said, unsure. God, Liam was going to kill me. Blondie smiles so wide that I feel like she's going to break any minute.
"Great! It's starts around eleven. We could all get dressed together." She said happily. She tells me she's excited but then leaves to her room. Maybe I could have fun? Step outside my comfort zone for once.
"Cia." I hear a voice. God, what does everyone want? "You're not going to that party." Liam said angrily. Ease dropping, Nice move.
"Why not?" I challenged him.
"Cia. Stop being stubborn for once in your life and listen to me. Plea-"
"I don't have to. You're not my boyfriend. You're not my parents."
Liam looked hurt at first, "Cia, Please. I don't want you to get hurt." I shake my head.
"You have to trust me!" I said.
"This is not about trust! It's about you. It always has been. Cia please." He's begged me. I exhale, "I'm sorry for what happened at that party. I should've never took you there. If I didn't-"
"Don't." I said softly. "Fine. I won't go."
I lied.
We all got ready by ten thirty. By ten forty five, Liam and I were already in a argument. Marisa and Blondie sat on the couch waiting impatiently with Aaron and Trevor who were watching Jaws. Everyone was annoyed with us.
"You're not going!"
"Yes I am!"
"You're acting like a child!"
"And you're acting like...an adult!" I yelled.
"I have a solution," Aaron speaks up, which causes everyone to have relief. "Why don't we all go?" I smirk at Aaron while Liam glares at him.
"Fine." Liam said. As the boys went to the room to get dressed, Blondie looked upset. I asked her what's wrong. Marisa, of course, listens.
"Liam and Trevor are practically smitten with you." She said while shaking her had. I laugh. No way. "Especially Liam." She sighs. I knew that Liam had interest in me. I don't know about Trevor.
"Liam and I are just friends," I said. Marisa rolls her eyes playfully.
"I really like him, Cia." She said, "But all he does is talk about you and I.." She chokes up. I rub her arm.
"Hey," I said feeling bad, "If you really like him, I will try to back off." Blondie, Andrea shakes her head. God, she was upset. She really liked Liam.
"If it makes you feel any better, " Marisa adds, "I think I have a crush on Aaron and I barely know him." I raise two eyebrows. I didn't know that she liked him. cute.
I look at Blondie, "I'll get Liam to-"
"You don't have to, if he doesn't like me, he doesn't." We are interrupted by Trevor holding the car keys and walking in. He was wearing his pair of favorite jeans and a black and white plaid T-shirt. Nice. I turned to all the guys they all looked good.
"Let's go."
••••••
As we walk into the party, I get nervous. Everyone has left me except for Liam and Trevor. I quickly turn to them.
"Guys, you can't follow me around!" I turn to Liam, "And you? Go to Andrea. You're breaking the poor girls heart." Liam raises an eyebrow. I widen my eyes at him. We would talk later. He leaves and goes to look for Andrea.
"You don't want to party with me?" Trevor says playfully acting hurt. I roll my eyes and take his hand.
"Let's dance. You're my date for tonight."
We dance for a while. We actually have fun. I'm enjoying myself, I haven't had this much fun in months.
"I didn't know you could dance, " Trevor said as we head to the bar for water.
"I didn't know you could dance!" We both laugh, "What time is it?"
Trevor looks for at his watch, "One." We both look at each other. Time to find everyone. We look for Aaron first. We walk across the living room to see Aaron and Marisa laughing together. I smile, how cute!
"Enough guys!" I joked, "Time to go." We're only missing Liam and Andrea. I was nervous to look for Liam. Was he drunk? Is he safe? I should've never told him to leave. My heart starts beating fast when we can't find him or Andrea. Shit.
"Maybe we should spilt up," Trevor suggest. We all agree to meet near the door in around ten minutes. I look in the bathrooms, the bedrooms, and everywhere else. No Liam. God Liam.
"Cia!" Someone yells. Andrea. She looks at me worried. "Liam is hurt. He got in a fight." my heart drops.
"Where is he?"
"On the couch. I need help getting him up." Andrea and I go back downstairs to get Liam. He's on the couch, he's face is bruised. I chuckle. Dumbass. We pick him up and meet everyone by the door. They don't ask questions. Aaron and Trevor ofer to help, but we both decline and out him in the back seat of the car by ourselves.
••••••
"Wake up!" I practically yelled at Liam. I now had to take care of him. He must ache everywhere. He wakes up, startled. "What happened? Why did you-" He interrupts me by groaning. I give him Advil and hand him ice for his leg.
"God. you're such a dumbass."
"What's today?"
"The day after the party." I said. "What happened?"
"Bar fight." I roll my eyes.
"Don't do that again. You scared the hell out of me." Liam does a small smile. Not funny.
"You were worried?"
"Of course." I said while I break eye contact. "I shouldn't be taking care of you, I should get Andrea." I get up out of my chair, but Liam pulls me down.
"Please, stay." He said. I look at him.
"You know, I shouldn't." I said. He looks at me sadly. "She really likes you."
"And I like you." I want him to kiss me again for some reason. I can't do this right now.
I sign, "Liam..."
"Just answer me this question, Cia." He said, "Do you ever think we could have a chance...? Is it possible..?" Could I actually love Liam? My thoughts are on Trevor right now.
"We will talk about this later," I said while heading to the door, "Feel better." I walk out.
