Salty Licorice

Chapter 56

Spencer's POV

I glance over my fit in my long mirror on the inside door to my closet one last time. I'm just in simple tan joggers and a long maroon t-shirt with simple white sneakers. Nothing flashy, but it's only some dumb jock party, so it'll do. I'm not trying to impress anyone, all I have to do is piss off one.

I walk out of my closet kicking the door shut on my way and grabbing my black snapback before leaving with my precious Eileen's keys. I take the stairs two at a time, hearing my little sisters arguing over the TV remote again. I walk through the living room not slowing down as I walk between Hailee and Clarissa as they're practically playing tug of war over the remote. Swiping the remote from both of them. I drop it onto my fathers lap as I walk past him as he is reading a book in his recliner. He grunts a thanks in reply, which I don't respond to as I walk into the kitchen seeing Harley sitting at the table doing her homework.

"Nerd," I scoff as I walk behind her.

"Idiot," She retorts calmly.

"How were twins I will never understand, princess," I flash an annoying smile as I catch her eyes as I lean my back against the garage door.

"Off to do some delinquency at this hour, jester?" She rolls her eyes at me.

"Absolutely, cover for me if I'm late for curfew?" I ask.

"As always," She groans.

"Awe, love you princess," I pop the door open.

"Love you jester," She responds, going back to her homework.

I huff a laugh out of my nose as I turn around and walk out the side door of the garage hitting the gravel path to the driveway and seeing my beautiful love sitting there. Eileen, I'm so in love with her. I approach her with a wide smile. Unlocking her doors I slip into the driver's seat and turn the ignition and hear her sweet purr. I rip out of the driveway letting her roar. Making my way to Liz's house through the GPS from the address she sent me earlier. It doesn't take me long to pull up out front her house seeing her sitting on the steps to her front door.

She must have recognized my car because she doesn't hesitate to get to her feet and make her way towards Eileen's passenger door. She slips inside and fastens her seat belt quickly before I pull away making my way to some Baseball players house.

Liz keeps quiet the whole ride which I don't mind, lets me listen to my music, but it also makes me nervous if she's really okay with doing this. I'm about to ask when she speaks up first.

"Don't, I'm okay with this." She doesn't even turn to look at me.

"You don't have to do this if it's not what you want," I remind her.

"I need them to hurt, only then will it be clear what their intentions are."

I hear my favorite song come on through my speakers and a grin lights up my face. I turn up the radio and let the song blast through my car. As soon as the singer starts I join in belting every lyric, hopefully she will loosen up by the time we get to the party.

"Toora loora toora loo rye ay!" She sings along with me finally.

"We can sing just like our fathers!" We sing together. "Come on Eileen!"

We continue singing the whole song word for word or at least I do, she misses a few lines but who cares. All that I care about is that she was dancing and singing along with me as I drove. I pull up to the house, finding the street full of cars after the song ends. It takes me a second to find a spot, I ended up having to park at the end of the street. I jump out and she follows, still with a smile on her face from our small jam session.
