My enemy since childhood

Chapter 71

I was shivering when we took the first steps out of the hotel. It was really cold outside so i pulled the jacket closer to my body. I hadn't been to the boys cabin before but i hoped it wasn't too far away, you didn't want to freeze to death now that we were finally going to have a little party.

I looked at everyone who walked in front of and beside me, think how much had happened during these few days that we were away. I mean, who would have thought that the eight of us walking out here in the cold would become a gang? not me anyway, although nothing during this trip had turned out as i expected.

Brooke walked quietly by my side, barely saying a word throughout dinner. Of course she might be ashamed of what happened earlier, but it wasn't such a big deal, was it? i had let it go, so surely she should know it too?

"Are you okay?" i whispered and nudged her lightly in the side so she turned her gaze towards me.

"Yeah, i'm fine" she said shortly and increased her pace.

Obviously, she wasn't fine at all. I ran up to her and grabbed her arm.

"You are not okay, tell me! Is everything about what happened today?" i asked but she refused to meet my gaze.

"You don't get it, do you?"

"What? That i heard you two having sex? Yes, i did."

"You and Thomas" she muttered and shook her head.

"But Thomas doesn't care about it, drop it now."

"Why didn't you answer when i called the first time? Then we both would have skip that part, i'm ashamed to death!"

"You probably know that, if i had answered, my brother would have waited until i came out and then he would have seen Thomas. Of course i reacted mostly in panic but but what does it matter?"

"That's what i mean, do you know how hard it is to lie to Dylan? Lying that there's nothing between you and Thomas. Of course he might be mad if he found out, but i'm sick of it having to choose between you two. I love you as my best friend but Dylan is my boyfriend."

"I didn't ask you to lie, but i don't want you to say anything either, but it's only temporary, what's so hard about it?"

"Do you think no one notices that there's something between you and Thomas? Come on, you have hated each other for as long as anyone can remember and now you are sneaking around, whispering, standing close to each other and today he even went skiing with you!"

"But that doesn't mean there's anything between us."

"Although there is something between you, so why should you keep it a secret? If you are in love with each other, be open about it. Not only because i don't want to lie to Dylan but Kylie would realize she doesn't have a chance with Thomas instead of hoping and pining for him, not to mention screwing you."

I stood quietly and looked around. The others had continued on towards the cabin so Brooke and i were left in the dark. Were she right? probably, Brooke was usually right but it wasn't that simple. One, Thomas was not in love with me. Two,....

"You don't know what you are talking about," i muttered, pulling up the hood of my jacket.

"No? So what? You are just sleeping with each other, i thought you said you were in a relationship" she said sourly so i glared at her.
