Chapter 4~ Things Can Get Crazy When You Play Truth Or Dare

 I left the hospital today. I have my arm all stitched up, 37 stitches total, and on top of that, it’s wrapped up with bandages. Clayton had to drive me to his house because the doctor said I couldn’t drive until my arm heals. I'm going to his house because my mother is out on a wild goose chase to find my father and I’d rather not stay in an empty house for forever. As for Liam, well he’s staying at Clayton’s with me because his parents will be out of state for the rest of the year and he doesn’t want to go home to an empty house, just like me. After I'm healed all of us will probably stay at my house for awhile just to keep each other company.

We were all sitting in Clayton’s living room while his mother fussed over my arm. “Oh honey, what happened?!” Liam and I agreed that it would be best if we lied about how I got my arm cut, and this lie was very believable with the kind of town we live in.

“I was out walking in the park and out of nowhere this guy came out of the forest and started running towards me! Then next thing I know I'm pinned up against a tree and he has my arm in his mouth! THIS GUY WAS A FREAKING VAMPIRE! So he’s sucking my blood when Liam turns the corner and see’s me! I was thinking ‘OH THANK GOD!’, anyways Liam runs over and punches the guy out! He rushed me into the hospital and I got my arm stitched up, but of course I had to lie to the doctors because seriously, who would believe that? So I told them I fell on a knife. And that is why my arm is like this.” I finished in one breath. Mrs. Hills gave me an amused look.

“Alright, if you don’t want to tell me then fine!” and with that she stormed out of the room.

“Well at least I thought it was believable.” Clayton said mockingly. “It was all I had ok! We had just watched ‘Interview with the Vampire’!” Liam huffed. “It’s better than how my arm actually got this way, I like to think it really was a vampire sometimes, maybe even Edward Cullen…” I stated dreamily. I broke from my day dream of me and Edward on the beach when both of the guys laughed at me. I ignored them and got up from my chair and entered the kitchen. I grabbed a cup out of the dark wood cabinets and poured myself some water.

I walked back into the living room only to find the two boys gone. Where did they go? Then it hit me. The entertainment system. I walked downstairs and into the basement, I followed the hallway down to the last door where I could already here their screams. I opened the door to find Liam and Clayton sitting on the couch playing COD on Clayton’s X-box. I grabbed my crap and set up my bed in the middle of Clayton’s and Liam’s. When I was done I plopped down on the couch and stretched out, putting my feet on Claytons lap while I sat my head in Liam's lap. I smiled sheepishly up at Liam and he chuckled but made no move to push me off, which was great on my part because he is really comfortable. Clayton on the other hand was used to me by now.

I sat there contently watching the boys play their fighting games but when it was time for racing I got fidgety and I could tell that Liam and Clay both knew it too. It got so bad that Clay threw my feet off of him and announced “Girl, if you keep bouncing like that then I won’t be able to have kids in my life!” I erupted in a fit of giggles and Liam joined in with me. “Then… let… me ahaaahhhaa… play! Heheh!” I said through my giggles. He chucked me the remote and muttered something about going to make some dinner. I smiled finally racing Liam.

We played a couple of games before Liam came down with homemade pizza. I chucked my remote across the room and lunged for the pizza, taking two of the cheesiest slices before anyone could choose theirs. I grabbed my water and drank some before sitting down Indian style in the middle of the couch. The guys got their pizza after me and plopped down on the couch on either side of me. I grabbed the remote and flicked on the TV. I put on Criminal Minds knowing that it was Clay’s and my favorite show and I was glad when Liam announced that this was his too.
