It wasn't weird to have sleepovers with guys. Well at least one guy. I mean, we've know each other since I was six and he was five. We've slept over each other's for ten years, going on eleven. Long time huh?

We were so comfortable around each other that nothing was awkward between us. He's came to the bathroom with me before, not because I wanted him to, but he was too scared to stay alone downstairs after watching scary movies. But that's his he's always been.

A pussy.

No i'm just kidding. Well, technically I am. He can be a scaredy cat, but I love that about him. I loved everything about him. Almost.

"Cleo," I hear my step moms voice echoing as she descended the stairs, holding her stomach, and I gave her a warm smile.

"Yeah, Lillian?" I questioned as she came over to luke and I holding her wallet, and I was guessing she was going to ask me to run out for her.

"We ran out of toilet paper, and I was wondering if you'd go get some for me?" She asked sweetly and I nodded taking the five dollars from her grasp.

"Yeah, I don't mind," I smiled and she thanked me.

"Yeah, Wade is currently on the toilet and there's no toilet paper," she said making both luke and I giggle.

"Lilly!" Wade yelled from the upstairs bathroom and I quickly stood.

"Alright, ill make it quick," I smiled as she nodded holding her pregnant belly and heading back up the stairs to Wade.

She's only six months pregnant, but her stomach is already pretty big, and she's always tired. Which is expected obviously.

"You can stay here if you want, Luke," I said as I slipped on my crocs, yes, crocs, before he stood up and shook his head.

"No way, why would I let a pretty girl walk alone to the dollar store at night?" He cheesed making me blush and roll my eyes at him.

He slid on his shoes as we headed out and began walking to the dollar store. It was only a few blocks away from my house, not too far so I didn't mind. Plus it'd be a nice walk with luke.

"Good thing she stopped us right before a scary part came on," he smiled as if he was joking but I knew he was thankful. But so was I. I loved scary movies but nonetheless they scare the shit out of me.

"Yeah good thing," I mocked him as he playfully gave me a shove and I smiled up at his blue eyes.

Right before we got to the store his phone rang, and I glanced at the caller before he answered to see it was his girlfriend, Ashley.

I frowned, knowing they'd be on the phone for awhile. He's stayed on there for over an hour before, and then acted as if that it wasn't a big deal. But he spends a lot of time with her, so it wasn't knew to me. Not that he cares.

"No," he said as he glanced at me and I pretended not to noticed as we arrived at the store and he nodded for me to go inside. I rolled my eyes blankly at him and walked inside.

I swear to god if he tried to leave I will be pissed. He always tries to leave because he can't ever say no to his precious little girlfriend. It's annoying. But then he'll apologize and make me forgive him like always.

After purchasing the toilet paper I walked out and he was still on the phone and cleared his throat.

"Okay ash," he said and sighed, "I love you too." He said before hanging up.

"What'd she want?" I asked as we started walking back to my house as he scratched the back of his neck, which he does every-time he feels nervous or when he tries to get out of situations.

"She wants me to come over so she's not alone for the night," he said and I already knew it.

I swear to god I want to fucking strangle this kid. Stay calm, Cleo. Don't be mad. Do not get mad just let him do what he wants. I chuckled bluntly.
"Shocker, luke, shocker," I said bitterly as he sighed grabbing my arm and stopping me.

"Ugh, Cleo, don't be like that," he whined as I pulled my arm back and tried my hardest not to roll my eyes.

"Aren't you gonna go," I said clearly angry and annoyed at him. I know he's gonna leave anyways, so no point in trying to ask. I'm not gonna beg. I'll just feel pathetic.

"Cleo i'm sorry, don't be mad at me," he said grabbing my hand, "You know I love hanging out with you," he said and I had to hold in my laugh.

"Yeah you show it very well," I sarcastically sticky remarked as he frowned, and I pulled my hand away from his.

"Cleo stop being this way," he said and I was just so annoyed at the moment.

"No luke, you stop being this way! Stop ditching me for your girlfriend," I said, "You always do it," I said and he frowned and I could tell he felt guilty but it's not like it's going to change his choice.

He sighed, "i'm sorry, I know, i'll make it up to you," he said and shook my head.

"I'm sure of it," I rolled my eyes and started walking home and he grabbed me.

"I'll walk you home," he said and I pulled back from his grip and shook my head.
"Don't bother."

With that I continue to walk home, hearing him sigh. Of course he still goes to his girlfriends house just because they'll be home alone and they can fuck. Simple as that.
