I sat down at my usual lunch table with Johnny beside me, and as soon as I did, Hughie, Katie and Gibsie stared at me with wide eyes.
"Feely, I think you have something." Gibsie says, pointing to the crook of his neck, "Like right there."
"Holy shit, Patrick." Katie exclaims, then lowers her voice. "Did Delilah give you that?"
"Well, I sure would hope so." Hughie murmurs, I pick up my phone and go onto camera, I hold it close to my neck and realize that there is a small hickey on my neck. Ah, shit.
I literally have no idea when that happened, I have a feeling that I gave her one as well..that might be why she hasn't responded to any of my texts this morning or last night.
"It must have been Delilah." Gibsie nods, as I put my phone down. "Unless you're seeing someone else, then I would have to kick your ass."
"Delilah and I are just..taking things slow. But yeah, we saw each other last night."
"What does taking things slow even mean?" Gibsie wonders, but at the exact moment a brunette speed walks past us, only to get stopped by Johnny grabbing the girl's wrist. "What happened?"
"Shannon?"
Shannon shook her head and tried to pull away but Johnny didn't let go, and pulled her closer to him. "What's going on?"
"I, uh, need to go home." Shannon squeezed out. glancing behind her for several seconds before turning back to Johnny and whispering something.
"Home?" Johnny frowned. "Why?"
"Take a look around, Mister Fucking Hotshot." Lizzie hissed, as she and Claire came to stand beside Shannon. "Or better still, open your ears."
I give this not even five minutes before we all end up arguing with each other, and there will probably be a fight between someone.
"My eyes are open." Johnny replied, letting go of Shannon's wrist and turning to Lizzie. "And my ears are right here."
"Lizzie." Shannon croaked out. "Just drop it."
"No, if she has something to say to me, then she can say it," Johnny drawled. "Go right ahead."
"Fine," Lizzie growled, taking a hold of Shannon's hand. "Your evil whore of a girlfriend is spreading lies about my friend, and I'm holding you entirely responsible for neither straightening the facts or putting her in her place."
"What's she talking about?" Gibsie asked, and Johnny shrugged. "No idea."
"I'm talking about my friend's reputation being tarnished because you were stupid enough to stick your dick inside that girl," Lizzie snarled.
"What girl?" Hughie asked, looking away from Katie. "Who'd you stick your dick in, Cap?"
"Fuck off, Hughie," Johnny snapped, eyes flickering to Shannon.
