Unexpected

Chapter 19

“Dude, you just got lit by Cedes!” Cade laughs at Matt. Matt throws the xbox controller at Cade and grumbles to himself. 

“Who’s up next?” I ask. 

Ross gets up but Cade pushes him back down. “Dude, if you wanna keep your man pride I’d sit back down,” Cade tells Ross. 

“Hand me the remote,” Noah tells Cade. 

Cade lifts an eyebrow. “Well shit, now we know who has the balls in this relationship.” 

“Hey!” I exclaim. 

Cade puts his hands up in defense. “Hey! Hey! You snipe like a dude, okay!” he defends. I roll my eyes at him then Noah sits down in the beanie bag next to me. 

“When’s Emery coming home?” Matt asks. 

“Don’t know, don’t care!” I answer. 

Cade gasps. “Matt you missed the shit that went down between Emery and Cedes! So apparently all of Emery’s friends think the Element’s are taking him in as a charity case,” Cade explains to Matt. I roll my eyes and pick my snipe gun and we’re playing. I personally like Nuketown but Noah doesn’t, so we had to play his map. 

“Wow… I was starting to grow on that kid,” Matt mumbles. 

“Same, dude, same,” Cade agrees. I smirk when I snipe Noah. Seconds later Noah snipes me back. 

I told Cade and Noah about Emery the other day, I mean I couldn’t tell my mom, but I had to tell someone. Cade and Noah are there for me and I trust them. Keeping that to myself would just make me mental. Especially with Emery coming back sometime tonight. 

“CEDES! EMERY’S HERE!” mom yells. 

“THAT’S COOL!” I yelled back. I swear under my breath when Noah snipes me. 

“COME HELP!” she yells up. 

“I’M GOOD!” I then stand up when I get the winning kill. “you suck,” I tease Noah. Noah grabs my wrist and pushes me down to his lap. 

“Rematch?” 

I shake my head. “No way! I won fair and square! Chance come play with me!” 

Chance sighs but sits in the beanie bag I once sat in, I then hand Chance Noah’s remote and we’re on. “I feel like if I don’t win my cock is going to be blown off,” Chance mumbles. Noah picks up J-Dog who was roaming around the game room and plays with him. 

“Hey isn’t that a Hollywood Undead song?” Matt questions. 

I nod. “The lyrics are a little different though,” I reply. I wince when Chance snipes me. 

“Oh so Noah how did it feel to get your ass kicked?” Cade teases as he talks about the night we went to the club. 

“I didn’t get my ass kicked, dumbass,” Noah answers. 

Cade laughs. “Says the big bruise on your face.” 

“Hey, he cheap shot me!” Noah defends. “But I got his ass back.” I run around the map looking for Chance and when I cut a left he snipes me. 

“You fricken camper!” I yell. 

“Whatever,” Chance mumbles. “anyway its one more kill to get the winning kill.” I nod and run around the map. I then squeal when Noah starts tickling my sides, I burst into laughter when he grazes his fingers higher.
