You Will Live Forever

Chapter 16: Betrayal

Larson above.

Everyone went back to the hotel because Rem and Sophia were closer to finding my father and Athena. We ended up going down to the pool while we waited. None of us is quite the tech genius like Rem, and we felt that we would be getting in the way. Sophia was the only one allowed up there to support him.

I sighed and got into the Jacuzzi.

Larson whistled, standing on the first step of the Jacuzzi.

I looked him up and down noticing his abs and v-line. His board shorts hung low making me feel guilty for staring. He grinned knowing he impressed me and sat down next to me. "What's cookin' good lookin'?" He bumped my shoulder playfully.

"What about me, Larson?" Becks asked turning around to show him her little butt.

Larson sighed, almost like he was annoyed. "Girl... I already told you. You look great. You don't need my constant validation, Becks."

Becks glared at him and stomped off to tan next to Karli and Jeremy.

"Brutal," I said staring at him.

"She's an attention seeker, and I don't do well with that."

I sighed. "I've gotten used to it, so it doesn't bug me that much."

I looked towards the pool where Shelby and Blake were laughing and splashing each other.

"Sophia and Rem traced the general area where your father is," Karli spoke up.

I looked over to her. "Oh?"

"Yea. But he keeps popping up here and in Greece. It's sort of going back and forth. Sophia thinks that Gabriel might have intercepted it and has been messing with the signal."

"Is that even possible?" Larson asked.

Karli shrugged. "I'm not sure. But whatever it is, we will figure it out."

A burst of laughter came from Shelby as Blake flung her across the pool.

"Oh shut up already!" Becks yelled.

Shelby and Blake paused.

"We are trying to have a conversation and all I can hear are the two of you flirting nonstop and it's driving me insane. Go make out and flirt somewhere else. You don't have to flaunt it!" She glared.

Larson's eyes went wide and he turned away from everyone as I saw him mouth the words 'What a bitch.'

"Calm down Becks," Jeremy said.

She gave a halfhearted laugh.

"Calm down? All you do is flirt with Karli and Liz all day long. You can shut your mouth too."

"What is up your butt?" Shelby asked, anger clearly on her face. I knew that was the last straw. She was so sick of Becks.

"Everything ok! Everything just sucks and we aren't doing anything about the situation we are in. No boys will flirt with me, let alone like me when in fact I know I'm at least an 8."

"Is that on a scale to 100." Larson mumbled.

I hit him in the stomach, and he shut up. Luckily Becks didn't hear as she kept going on her rant.

"I'm so sick of all of this. Everyone has it better than I do. I-"

"Oh shut up you spoiled little brat," Karli said. "You are here in Spain with maybe the only people who can tolerate you. All expenses are paid here. You didn't pay a cent and now you have the chance to go to Greece and you want to pick a fight? Fine, be my guest. I won't allow you on my airplane if you keep this shit up."
