Our Little Secret

Part 13

~Steve~

I was woken up by the loud ringing of a phone and to be honest.. I hoped it was some kinda emergency cause I wasn't in the mood for this right now.

"HARRINGTON!" Dustin yells into the phone

I sigh loudly "Yes Henderson, to what do I owe the honor of your phone call at 10 a.m.?" 

"Well you see, the group and I have a proposal."

"A proposal? Who's getting married?" 

"No one Steve. not that kinda- Okay whatever, we want to know if we could have a sleepover at your house?" 

"Hmm, who's we?" 

"Max, El, Mike, Lucas, Will, and myself." 

"Okay that's fine. But no funny business! I will not be held responsible for offsprings and disgusting stuff okay? You hear me Henderson?"

"Yes yes, and if you could get us some snacks that would be great, we will all be there at 8, Okay Bye!" 

So I'm hosting the sleepover, and buying the snacks? Whoopty Doo! 

These kids will be the death of me.

I get dressed for the day and do my hair of course, because now I was hosting a sleepover for a group of horny puberty facing teenagers. 

I didn't exactly mind the fact that all the kids wanted to have a sleepover at my house, but to be honest, the pressure was on. 

I wanted to make sure they had fun, that I bought all their favorite snacks, and maybe rented some movies too for entertainment. Everything needed to be perfect. 

Well I should probably head to the store before it gets any later.. then I had an idea. Maybe I could see if Scarlett wanted to come with me. I hadn't seen her in over a month, and that's insane because we used to see each other basically every day. 

She was like a little sister to me, I cared about her deeply, and I honestly felt like shit for not trying harder to see her, but every time I called she didn't pick up. 

Dustin kinda kept us in the loop and told us she was having a rough time, something about Billy and Eddie, and the drug stuff. 

I decide to call Mike's phone, assuming all the kids were hanging out at his place, based on the background noises I heard from Dustin's call. 

"Hey." Nancy answers 

"Oh um, hey Nance, is Dustin at your place?" 

She gulps "Yeah, I-I'll hand him the phone." 

"Thanks."

Fuck that was awkward.

"Whats up Harrington?" 

"Is your sister home?"

"Yeah why?"

"No reason just asking, I'm gonna go buy the snacks for you guys right now, any requests?"

"Nope, just whatever looks and sounds good." 

"Alright, bye."

I head out of my house and straight into my car, Operation Sleepover is now in pursuit. 

First, I was going to bombard Scarlett with my presence.. because damn I missed her. 

Her house was real close to mine so I got there in about 5 minutes.

I banged on the door and waited for someone to open it. 

It took a couple seconds before she hesitantly opened it.
