Chapter 18: Trouble

Carissa's POV

We went back to the beach house from the boardwalk.

Katie and I took our showers and went into the living room to watch TV. I turned on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'

This was our favorite show to watch together. We would always try to do Kourtney impressions, but always failed. That's what made it fun. We popped some popcorn and got some blankets.

"Seriously, you're watching this?" Hayes said. "Ya, that show sucks. No one even has any talent," Dylan added. "I do like her game though" Dylan said.

We all started laughing our heads off, except for Dylan, he was so embarrassed.

Dylan and Hayes joined us on the couch and started watching TV with us. Dylan snatched the remote out of my hand. "Hey!" I yelled and started chasing after him. I jumped on his back, trying to reach for the remote, and failed.

"Shush!" Katie yelled. Dylan and I quieted down. "Hayes and I will do Rock Paper Scissors to see who will get the remote," She announced. "Only one round, get ready to get your butt kicked," She told Hayes. "We'll see about that," He replied, confidently.

"Ready, Rock Paper Scissors!," She put out scissors and he put out paper. "Haha! I beat you! I beat you! I beat you! I beat you!" Katie chanted. She snatched the remote out of Hayes's hand and turned the Kardashians on.

I laid back comfortably and fell asleep.

I woke up to the flash of a camera. Katie had her phone pointed towards me.

"Come with me outside," Katie said to me. I got up from the couch and walked outside with her.

"So, I talked to Dylan and he really likes you," She said. I blushed. "Awww, i'm flattered, but I only think of him as a good friend. I mean, he's cute, but I don't know if I'll ever have feelings for him" I explained. "Nooooooo, you have to like him, you guys are perfect for each other. I wish someone was perfect for me," She said softly.

"Hayes is perfect for you, you guys are like soulmates. Like literally relationship goals," I answered. She smiled so wide, her cheeks were flushed, and she giggled.

I scanned the backyard and saw a huge hammock. "We have to sleep in that tonight!" I exclaimed. "Oh My Gosh, yes. I can't believe we didn't think of that earlier."

Dylan's POV

I heard a giggle and flash of a light. I looked up and saw Carissa and Katie walk outside. Not to sound like a creepy stalker, but I followed them outside without them realizing.

"So, I talked to Dylan and he really likes you," Katie said. "Awww, i'm flattered, but I only think of him as a good friend. I mean, he's cute, but I don't know if I'll ever have feelings for him" Carissa explained.

I zoned out of their conversation, shocked. First, I never told Katie that I liked Carissa. I didn't think anyone knew. I wasn't that obvious, was I?

Second, I really thought Carissa liked me back! I mean, come on, who couldn't like all this. She was always flirting with me and always hung out with me, not Hayes.

I didn't want to listen to their talk anymore because I felt bad eavesdropping and I just wanted to get away from Carissa. I had to clear my mind.

I actually thought I had a chance with her. God, I'm so stupid. I need a walk.

I got up from my hiding place behind the bushes, reflecting everything that has been going on.

I remember the minute I saw her, I fell for her. Even though I made a complete fool out of myself.

Her soft, brown hair, her flawless, tan skin, her beautiful, chocolate eyes, and her personality were so perfect, it made me wanna cry.

She led me on. She made me think that she liked me too. She never did. That made me furious. I cannot believe her. I thought we had a connection, obviously I was wrong.

I looked at how far away I was from the house. I always lose track of time when occupied with my own thoughts.

I turned around and headed back to the house. I walked through the door and everyone was on the couch.

"Hey Dylan," Katie said. I replied, "Hey,"

"Carissa, uhh, can I talk to you real quick?" I asked, scratching my neck. "Sure," She smiled.

We walked down the hall, into my room and sat down on my bed.

"Look, I know you don't like me, so you don't have act like you do anymore," I told her. "What? Who sai-" she lied. "Don't play that game, I heard you and Katie talking," I explained.

"You were eavesdropping?!" Carissa asked, raising her voice. "Ya, I was and you two were too dumb to notice," I shot.

"You had no right to do that! And I absolutely cannot believe you think you have the entitlement to call me dumb! You are sinking so low, Dylan. I am done with you and this conversation!" She yelled stomping out the room and slamming the door.

Hayes came running in.

"Is everything alright, man? Katie and I heard yell-" Hayes sputtered out. "Everything's fine, bro. Carissa and I just got into a disagreement," I sighed. "About what?" Hayes asked. "She led me on," I told him. "Oh. Don't worry, man, it'll be okay," He said, patting me on the back.

I started to cry. I know, so manly, but I just couldn't take it anymore. Hayes tried to comfort me, but I didn't want him to.

I sprinted out the back door and ran straight towards the beach, sobbing, but then I tripped on something sharp and fell face first into the pool.

Oh great.

Katie's POV

I heard a splash come from outside and I whipped around on the couch. I heard a gasp and a couple groans. I looked at Carissa, confused, and we both ran outside, over to the pool.

I almost fainted at the sight I saw. There, Dylan was, pulling himself out of the pool with his foot gushing out blood. On the ground close to the pool, was a broken lamp that had glass scattered on the ground.

Carissa's face was filled with horror and she ran to Dylan, her feet getting cut by the glass pieces. Dylan was in tears and a huge chunk of glass was embedded into his foot.

Carissa screamed for help. I ran inside to get my phone and Hayes.
