Summer Relations

Chapter 14

I walk into school today.

Surprisingly, the four boys are there.

Immedatedly, they flip shit.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Spencer snaps.

I take a deep breath. I know Olivia will side with me in this one.

"Excuse me?" I ask.

Everyone stares.

"You called the police! I know it was you! It's convenient that they show up right after you leave!" Justice yells.

"Yeah, I did call the fucking police!"

"Well we got arrested!" Spencer says, pissed.

Uncle Albert is listening.

I blow up.

"You know what? Good! I'm glad you got arrested! Maybe you'll learn your fucking lesson! I'm not going to hang out with a load of druggies! I love you guys to death! I'd rather have all of you hate me and want me head of a fucking stick than let you guys get addicted to drugs and end up dying. So yeah, excuse me for calling the police. You wouldn't fucking listen to me. So yeah, you guys can hate me all you fucking want. Block me on all your fucking social media! Bully me! I don't care! Sure, it'll hurt like a bitch, but if that's what you have to do to make yourself not do drugs, then so be it. I would take me getting bullied over you guys getting yourselves killed any day."

The entire place is silent. "Until you four realize I was right in ten years and that you-" I look at Spencer, "Threw away a perfectly good relationship, I won't be speaking to you. When you actually want to talk to me like I'm a human being and not a piece of god shit, you know where I live."

"It was just one time." Spencer says.

"Yeah, your first time, and there'll be seconds and thirds and forth, and soon enough, you won't know how many times it'll be, Spencer." I whisper. "I did it because I love you guys."

Gavin opens his mouth to argue, but Olivia clears her throat.

"Sorry Gavin. I'm going with Natalie. I'm standing with the same ground. We're done."

They watch as the two of us walk out the door.

I wait until the bell rings and go to first period.

Spencer glares at me all day.

I let him.

In my one class with all of the guys and Olivia, Olivia pulls her phone out to check a text.

"Olivia is on her phone!" Justice says loudly.

Everyone looks at him.

"I said you guys could go on your phones." My teacher replies.

At lunch, Olivia and I sit alone.

I hum the whole time, doodling in my notebook

After graduation, Uncle Albert waits a month to throw a graduation party of the beach. I started to sink back into depression, but Olivia and I hang out, so that has slowed it down a bit.

I'm at the beach leaning against a palm tree and everyone is having fun.

There aren't any drugs here.

All of the senior family members are here, too.

My entire family is here. I got a new phone.

Caitlyn is here, too.
