When I wake up the next morning I have a horrible headache. I get up and hop in the shower.When I get out I blow dry my hair and put it into a French braid. I put my makeup on which consists of eyeliner mascara blush concealer and dark red eye shadow with black. Not necessarily in that order though. I go into my room and put on a dark red laced tank top crop top, black ripped skinny jeans and dark red vans. When I'm done I grab my leather jacket swing it and my bag over my shoulder and go down stairs. Four and Caleb sit at the table with Zeke going through our fridge. They all stop and look at me then go back to eating and going through the fridge. I set my stuff down next to four and grab an apple from a bowl in the middle of the table. I sit next to four and eat it. My phone in my back pocket vibrates and I pull it out. It's a text from will. (Bold = will bold and italic = tris)
Thanks for your help yesterday I am in love with this girl.
Anytime😜😁
I laugh and put my phone down. "Who was that?" Caleb asks. "Will," I say and his face says ANGER "he was thanking me for setting him and Chris up." His face now softens. I laugh a little. "Over protective much," I say he glares at me. Four laughs a little. I smile at him and he smiles back. I turn my attention to the idiot in our fridge. "You know we kinda like to have fresh food not spoiled so if you don't mind shut the fridge you dumbass," I say. Zeke looks at me then slowly closes the door. Four leans over to me "thanks he's been doing that for 15 minutes now," he whispers. I laugh as Zeke sits down. I check me phone it's 8:15 school starts at 8:30 "you guys want a ride?" I ask they all nod. "Shotgun," four yells. Zeke and Caleb groan "aw come on," Caleb wines. I laugh grab my bag and walk outside with the guys following. We get in my convertible. Me and four in the front Caleb and Zeke in the back. I turn on the radio and pull out of my driveway. Four turns on the radio and all I can hear is Zeke abnormality loud and annoying voice blaring in my ears. I turn off the radio. Zeke stops "hey!" He shouts "that was my jam," "I'm sorry I kinda like being able to hear," I say then laugh. He groans and we pull into a stop light. It's red so I turn around and stick my tongue out at Zeke. he pouts and the light turns green I go.
Ding ding ding
The end of the day finally.
It's been a really long day and I'm just happy it's over. Zeke and Caleb gets a ride from Uriah, but four comes up to me and asks for a ride back to my house. Something about not wanting to get a headache from their singing. I decide to give him a ride along with thinking about what Christina said last night. "Let's go," I say and we both throw our stuff in the back and hop in my car. "But we've got to make a quick pit stop," i say. He just looks at me. "I've gotta get gas," I say he just nods. We pull into the gas station. I hop out so does he. "You want something to drink?" He asks "uh sure," I say entering my debit card (as you can tell from her car her family isn't hurting on money) I type in my code and pull the gas pump out. I put it in my car. "What do you want?" He asks "dr pepper please," I say smiling he chuckles and goes into the store. Another car that I recognize to much pulls up behind me. Peter gets out. He doesn't even use the gas pump he just walks over to me. I shut my tank as he leans over me. "You know you should have someone else do this for you princess," he whispers "go away Peter," I say "nah but since you have no one here," he grabs my butt. I turn and slap his hand just as four walks out. Peter just glares at him. "Sup," he says like he didn't just grab my butt. "What are you doing here?" Four asks a little anger in his voice. "Oh you know just here with ms," he pauses and slaps my butt, "good ass." "Get away from her," four says sternly. Peter backs up slowly raising his hands in defense. "Sorry bro didn't know you already shoved your dick up her ass." I'm surprised four didn't choke him right now. But if looks could kill Peter would be dying a very slow and painful death. I open my door and get in. Four gets in too. I turn on my car and drive away leaving a smirking Peter standing behind us. He hands me my drink. "Thanks," I say quietly. He doesn't respond... We pull into a stop light. I didn't realize this until now but since we left the gas station four hasn't stopped staring at me. "Can you stop its kinda creepy," I say looking at him slightly. "Sorry," he whispers.
I go up to my room and sit on my bed. My parent aren't home neither are Caleb and Zeke. It's just me and four in the house.
I can hear his footsteps coming up the stairs. He knocks on my door. "Come in," I say. He shuts the door. "Are you okay? I didn't ask earlier," he says "yeah he didn't hurt me," I say softly. He nods and looks around. He won't look at me. Even when he was talking to me he didn't look At me he was staring at the ground. "Four?" I say he doesn't look up he just walks to the edge of my bed and sits down. I crawl over to him since he's on the other side of my bed and sit next to him. He doesn't look at me still. "Four," I move his arm. A smile threatens to go across his face. I push on his arm again. "Four!" I say louder this time. I push him again but this time he moves and I fall into his lap laughing. He laughs too. "How long have we known each other?" He asks still smiling. "I don't know since we were really little," I say I'm still laying in his lap. He strokes my hair. "Hmm," "why?" I ask. He shrugs. I move my head a little to the side. He smiles down at me. I smile back. "So what like 12-13 years," he says "yeah that sounds about right, we could ask Caleb if he ever comes home," I say he nods and then we both don't move and stare at each other for what seems like forever. "We used to fight all the time," he says "yeah I know," I say "I think we were 5 or 6 our first fight," "yeah u think?" I ask he nods "yeah it was over your dolls, me Caleb Zeke and Uriah all came into your room. You were sitting on the ground playing with your dolls and we walked in and sat with you at first. I remember Caleb giving us a quick glance before we took your dolls and running off. You ran after us and yelling at us, Caleb finally stopped and we all ran into him. Caleb decided to rip your dolls head off. You got so mad and you started screaming. We all started yelling at each other. Your mom came over and tried to break us up." He laughs and so do I. "I don't think we've had a fight in a really long time," he says I nod. "Yeah that's probably a good thing on my moms part," I say he laughs "just a little bit," he says I smile. He rests his hand on the side of my face stroking my cheek bone. I smile a little more. "I know your brother might kill me if he finds out what I'm about to say but I don't really care, I really like you, I always have ever since we were little and after 13 years I think I'm finally over hiding it," he says. I push myself up a little. "Why me?" I ask "why not your beautiful your funny smart kind and I've always just felt like I've needed to be there for you in some ways more than others," he says I put my hand on the back of his head and run my fingers through his hair. He pulls me forward and kisses me. Hesitant at first the more passionately. My other hand grabs his arm that's keeping us up. He puts his hand behind my ear. He pulls back. "I never would've thought that you had feelings for me," he says "neither did I but I guess I do," I say he laughs and kisses me again lightly. "Can we just keep -this from your brother for a little while," he asks I nod. He kisses my forehead. But one thought keeps going through my mind 'why me?'
