I'd Lie

Chapter 14- Humiliation and Knives

George had to leave because apparently, his mom thinks I'm a bad influence. Staying overnight with a girl, is a big no-no for him. He told me he had lied and told his parents he was doing a school project... in the summer. They should have figured out out then and there, but I'm no one to judge. 

Being stuffed in the house was overbearing, so I went for a walk around the block. Too bad I didn't have a dog to walk though. As I was counting how many cracks I had stepped on, I ran into something, or should I say, someone.

"Hey, Adri," Nicole smiled, but I saw right through it.

"Hey, Nicole!" I smiled back. Without waiting for her to say anything else, I started walking away.

"You know, I'm really sore. Chase sure makes a night worth it. You should know, being his best friend and all. Do you know what can help the soreness?" She asked with a challenging look while I bit my tongue down. I turned around to face her.

"Yes, I do. Keeping your legs close is one of my suggestions, but of course, it's you we're talking about, here," I chuckled with a small wave. Her expression soured and I mentally high-fived myself.

"I don't know what you're up to, but you need to stay out of my personal life, go it?" She snapped. 

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Nan- Nicole," I purposely let it slip in mockery. She sent daggers and she was going to say something, but was cut off.

"Adri? Nicole? What are you two up to?" Chase smiled and wrapped an arm around Nicole's waist. I looked away when she twisted in his arms and hungrily sucked his lips. Talk about gross. 

I pretended it didn't hurt when he responded and I pretended it didn't hurt when he pulled away from the kiss only to hug her tighter from behind. "I was just leaving. Nicole was just asking what helped relieve soreness after sex because apparently you rammed into her up last night so," I rocked on my heels and Nicole's face paled. Chase's jaw unhinged and he turned to look at Nicole.

"Adri, we ne-"

"Stop, Chase. You don't have to explain anything, okay? You two are a couple and-"

"But we-"

"Sometimes you need to get off so-"

"Adri we haven't-"

"You call each other up or get caught in the moment and then you- I have to go," I walked away. I left both of them standing on the side walk.

"Why would you say that, Nicole?" I heard him yell, but tuned out the rest.

I don't know what was most humiliating. The fact that I knew they had sex and stood right there in front of them knowing it, or the fact that I said that I knew they had sex and stood there in front of them saying it.

 I still need to know how many times my heart was going to be stabbed with a knife that would churn in all directions, before it understood that being accustomed to that pain, wasn't normal.
