"ME" The Story of Lyric Rayne

The Truthful Phone Call

  Embry's POV

''Can I just say how weird it is to not have you and your family here. Thanksgiving is a time of family and friends gathering right? Gosh I miss you like crazy. Lately its just been Ryan and I . Ya I know Ryan. We sort of have been talking, and maybe kissing. Don't go awwwing at me. Its no big deal.'' I talk to Lyric on the phone as I pace my room. Lyric knows I hate talking on the phone, but she gives me no choice I mean I would like to talk to my best friend. You win some you lose some. But i have to admit talking to her makes my day.

'' Okay I won't say anything, but if he doesn't properly ask you out I am sending him a very strong worded text message. I miss you too. Its so weird here, Em they don't have Thanksgiving since you know thats an american thing or whatever. So it feels so strange. Hows Nix?''

'' Ya, ya. Sadly I believe you would do that. I am very familar with Thanksgiving history. Um.. Nix is good. You know not the same since you left. '' I leave it at that, I have to tell her right? She has to know, I cant keep this secret forever.

(Few Days Before)

'' Hey, lets go to that party everyone was talking about at school.'' Ryan says as we sat on the couch in his basement as we watched some cheese ball movie about robots, his choice definitely not mine.  I roll my eyes, I have never, ever been a fan of parties. Whats the point right? Kids getting drunk, and screwing up their life's with weed and sex. Totally down my aisle, ya not really.

'' Do you even know who I am?'' I say in response to Ryan's idiotic statement.

'' Comeon! Em it will be so much fun. If it is too 'crazy'  for you. We will leave I promise.'' Ryan says squeezing his fingers through my fist forming hand. I relax and let him hold my hand intertwining  his fingers with mine. I feel a rush of relief come through me. Some how this boy made me feel safe. I have always felt safe and independent but this was so much more. He felt like a calming blanket of safety draped over my shoulders. He turns over so his eyes gaze into mine. I can feel my heart racing I lean in slowly and we kiss. We freaking kiss, now this baby was pretty amazing If I say so my self.

'' Okay maybe I will go. Only for me. '' I say in between breathes with Ryan.

Once we make it to the party. I walk in seeing to my surprise only about 15 kids. I was shocked, I walk over to Nix, and Holden who were sitting on the couch sipping out of a plastic cup of what looked like beer.

'' Waz up!'' Nix stands up and greets both me and Ryan with a hug. I smile and sit next to them. The rest of the kids sit down and we all start talking.

It was nice it didn't feel like a party, I have no idea why Ryan told me this was a party.

'' Alright lets play Truth or Dare.''

We all agree, even though I know this is not going to be good.  It started out pretty mild with things like lick your foot or prank call pizza hut and ask for the number for dominoes.

'' Alright Nix I dare you to make out with your choicing of girl, but you have to use tongue. '' A girl with blonde hair says and Nix sits there quiet not saying a word.

Say no, come on Nix. Say pass, pass your bloody hell turn.

'' Okay I choose Bianca.'' Nix walks over to a girl with freckles and a perfectly slender body. She flips her gorgeous Ombre hair.

Nix, No! I want to yell at him. What in the world is he thinking, he has a girlfriend. It hasn't even been two months since Lyric left.

But its too late he has already locked lips with the slut. I get up the nerves and throw a pillow at them. I was infuriated.

'' Gosh get a room. ''I yell but I did not intended it to be a joke. But clearly thats how everyone took it. I give Nix the dirtiest look, I know he knows he has done something wrong.

You would think he would stop kissing her right? He takes the girls face once again and shoves his lips on to hers. I cant watch this idiotic do this to my best friend.
But before i leave the room i walk up and punch Nix right in the nose.
He holds it with his fingers blood running down.
I feel the pain rushing in my knuckles.
The whole room goes completely quiet

(Present Day)

'' Oh.. Em has he moved on?'' Lyric has cracked me. I can't keep this from her.

'' No, I got to go.'' I say and hang up. Ya smooth Embry. I look at her profile picture on my contacts.

Oh bloody hell. I dial her number again.

'' Listen, I don't know how to say this.'' And thats when I told Lyric everything. The line goes silent, I am not sure if I did the right thing. I am sure she can hear my heart practically beating out of my chest.

'' I don't know what to say.'' Lyric struggles to say on the other line. '' But thank you, thank you for telling me. You are a true friend.Love you.. I have.. to go..'' I hear her struggle to say every word.

'' Love you too.''  I feel like I can breath now, I have nothing left to hid from her. It killed me to keep this secret from her. She deserved to know.
