Something Like That

After i spent that night down in Zeke's lair, i've been going there every weekend nigh to join his little smoke circle. Zeke is a cool dude and a good brother...sometimes. Hw sometime just gets angry, and i have no idea why. But over the course of about two days i watched him snort powders and shoot things into his arms.

As his sister it kind of hurt to see that do it to himself. He's such a good person and capable of so much. I just want him back.

We're all gathered at the beach, sitting on a bench. I feel like we're in a movie. We are all wearing matching shades, legs crossed. The California sun beating down on our bare skin.

"Swimming?" asks Iris quietly.

"Swimming." we all answer, smiles on our faces.

We all strip down to our swim suits and charge towards the water. However, i couldn't believe Lola's bikini. I mean, i know she has lots of confidence and what not but jesus this was a little bad. She was basically wearing a neon orange thong and a top that was way too small for her bust. She did have the body to pull it off though, so i guess that was a plus? Iris had a floral one piece that she totally rocked, Nico in his navy swim trunks, and me in my black bikini.

After about twenty minutes of frolicking in the waves with Iris, i noticed that Nico and Lola were talking back by the bench. Her finger was slowly grazing up and down his forearm, legs crossed, and her chest out towards him. I could just see his gaze venture from her face down. Jealousy washed over me like wave, or more like a great big tsunami.

"It's nothing, right?" I ask with a little concern but almost expecting someone to answer.

I could feel Kai's hard stare on me with Lola. Don't get me wrong i love Kai but she's just...too much. She wants to adventure and have fun or just lay in bed all day and do nothing. Also, she is unpredictable. You never know what she will do next. She simply isn't my type.

"Nico baby..." Lola cooed in a low seductive voice, "will you come over tonight?" she asked while looking up at me. The way the lighting hit her face and those eyes...i couldn't say no.

"I'll try my best." i say with a small grin and wink for reassurance.

I was back at home, for once Zeke was upstairs fixing what looked like a make-shift dinner that consisted of microwaveable pizza and orange juice. Nico was trailing behind me, holding my hand.

"Hey Zeke" Nico calls out to him.

Zeke doesn't say anything, i can see his jaw tighten and his eyes shift upwards towards Nico. Nico quickly looks away and presses his hand against my lower back, urging me towards the stairs.

What was that about? I thought Zeke liked Nico...whatever he's probably in one of his moods again.

I made my way to the bed with Nico behind me, i quietly crawl into his arms and listen to his calming heart beat. He rubs my back slowly and rests his chin on top of my head.

Before i knew it, i was asleep.

I was awaken by the slight creak in my door, there is a warmth lacking by my side and i realize Nico is leaving. At midnight. This is so unusual for him.

"Please stay..." i croak out, my voice raspy and mixed from my sleep.

"Babe...i can't. Mom needs me home." he responds hesitantly.

I'm too tired to argue so i wave my hand letting him know he can leave. I here the front door click shut. He's gone to who knows where.

Lonely and cold, i get up and make my way to the basement.

Zeke won't leave me. I reassure myself and swing open the door, greeted by the smell of weed and coconuts i venture down to his room. Of course he's awake laying shirtless in bed, a book in his hand, and his earbuds in. I slid in beside him and pulled an earbud out, placing it in my own ear. Immediately recognize the music, Twenty One Pilots. Zeke didn't seem to react my actions other than saying hey.

"What was up with you and Nico earlier?" i asked while turning down the music.

He gently folds the corner of his book and sets it down beside him before responding.

"Kai, i think he's up to some weird shit." he says.

"Like what?" i question.

"Well, one, he hasn't been around nearly as much as he used to. Have you seen the way Lola acts around him?" theres an edge in his voice.

"Are you suggesting he's cheating on me?" i ask quietly but with force. A can feel a storm stirring in my guts. Nico would never do that to me, i thought he was different.

"Well..." Zeke runs his hand through his hair.

I shoot up into a sitting position, "You're wrong! Nico would never do that to me!" i find myself yelling and getting off of the bed.

"Kai, i never said he was!" Zeke yells back. He's feisty like me, which doesn't really help.

"You don't know him!" I scream before running out of his room and back up to mine.

Nico wouldn't cheat on me would he?

I wouldn't cheat on Kai, but since i was here, back in Lola's room for the second time, that's exactly what i was doing.

"Lola, this is wrong." I say walking up to her pink room with her. I had just arrived here from Kai's house, i felt awful for lying to Kai but i couldn't stay away from Lola. She was like a new drug and i was becoming addicted.

"I know, but you know you can't resist and that's okay because neither can i." She smirks, looking over her shoulder.

I shouldn't be here, I should be holding Kai right now...but that body, i want it.

"Kai is going to kill us if she finds out." i say.

"She doesn't have to know, plus this isn't anything official...yet." Her voice is so...luring. I hate it yet find utterly attractive.

"Yet..." i mutter under my breath and shut the door behind us.
