I Faked It

chapter 6

Alexia's P.O.V

"Thanks." I sat on the hammock Liam had jest helped me put up near the meeting spot in the woods.

"No prob." I smiled at him. I was about to say something when a huge shadow fell over my face and I felt soft lips collide with mine. Liam. "I... I'm sorry.." he stuttered and backed away blushing uncontrollably.

"No, it's fine." I gave him a sympathetic smile and patted the spot next to me inviting him to sit. We talked about everything that has been going in since we last saw each other. We were really close, we talked about all the people we dated and all the plans we have made and successfully completed. We did not have the perfect lives but, I mean, at least we weren't those teens who ran off getting pregnant every chance they get. Each minute was getting harder and harder, I wanted to kiss him, but I was afraid of what would happen. We were best friends, we both liked each other, but I don't know if i want to risk it.

Kassey's P.O.V

I re-read the plan I had just typed, I think it's perfect. The perfect plan. Nothing could go wrong. I printed off 4 copies and shut my laptop. I patted the bed next to me and Mouse jumped up and curled up right next to me. It was kind of funny, a big Australian cattle dog named Mouse. He amusses me. I love him for that, and many other reasons.

We had gotten Mouse from a dumpster outside of Wendy's around 3 years ago. He was just a little puppy then, now he's trained, healthy, and happy. He is my dog, Alexia prefers cats, she has three of them. A calico named Skittle, a Persian named Clyde and a short haired cat that she called Blue. All the cats got along well with Mouse, which was a good thing. Mouse didn't mind the cats, except when they tried taking his food or spot on the bed.

Three weeks later

"So, when exactly are we going to do this plan?" Alexia had a good question, but to be honest, I didn't know.

"I don't know, probably right after summer starts in June." She nodded her head and walked hand in hand with Liam. Apparently they were going to try being a couple, but they promised if anything goes wrong, they would go back to friends.

All day I was thinking about a way to tell Alexia, a way that she wouldn't get mad at me. I knew we weren't the nicest people, we didn't do the best stuff, but to us, this was bad. I wasn't suppose to, nobody was.

"Umm.. Alexia?" She turned and stared at me for what it felt like hours.

"Kassey? You haven't said anything for a few minutes...."

"Oh, sorry." She nodded her head, accepting my apology and we continued walking down the road. We were on our way to the meeting place, we needed to discus some things. As we were walking down the trail, Liam was walking in front of us taking pictures, he wanted to be a photographer but he wasn't too well with taking pictures as far as we knew.

"Hey, I have an idea. Let's hide behind the Bush and scream once, acting like we were taken away. I wanna see Liam SCREAM!!" She grabbed my sleeve and tugged on it, causing it to tear off. She immediately started crying and hugged me. I cried and hugged her back. All I could do was say I'm sorry. Liam ran towards us and stared at us, not knowing what was going on. I turned to look at him, Alexia still crying, and he saw.

He saw the scars. The fresh and the old.

He came over to us and hugged me. A group hug you would call it.

"I had no idea.... Kassey, why wouldn't you tell me?" She stuttered every word she said, wiping the tear marks off her face.

"I don't know, I was afraid you would hate me.." I held my arms close to my chest and I looked down, embarrassed. "Sorry..."

"Dont be sorry! We don't hate you!" Liam sounded kinda scary in his serious voice. We talked for a while about how long I have been cutting and I told them it was only on my arms. I told them how I felt about all those stupid pins on interest saying "repost if you love girls who have self harm scars, depression, anxiety ect." They agreed.

We continued walking down the trail and we stopped at our meeting area. I took off my sweater and grabbed a new one from the hidden chest and sat down next to Alexia on TH new hammock.

"Nice job putting up the hammock. It looks awesome."

"Thanks. I worked hard on this." Liam looked proud but Alexia laughed.

"You spent literally 3 minutes hammering the nails on the trees and I put the strings on them!" Apparently, this was true because Liam blushed and looked down at his feet.

"Oh my god, really?" I was laughing so hard it took so long to get that out of me. "Should we start calling you Mr. Naily man?" I knew it was cheesy but that made me and Alexia laugh even more.

"Ya ya shut up." I could tell Liam was getting annoyed. I wanted to go further but I was afraid I would go too far. So I stopped. Alexia on the othe hand, didn't.

"I put up nails! IM A MAN NOW" I laughed so hard I think my stomach just fell off and ran away.

"Alright.. let's discus what we came here to." I pulled pulled out the pieces of paper and handed one to both of them. They read it over and Liam asked ALOT of questions.

"And they say girls talk more than guys." Alexia whispered to me, loud enough for Liam to hear but he ignored us.

"I guess Liam just proved that statement right!" Alexia and I laughed for what felt like hours after that.

Later that night

I lay in bed thinking about what had happened today. I finally told her, well she found out then I told her. Whatever. Same thing. I also remembered something else. I heard a ding on my phone and typed in the password. It was another message from an unknown number. Huh. I read the messages and stared at the picture for what felt like forever. The top of the picture showed that the person took it from their camera, not camera roll.

It was me. In my bed. Grabbing my phone.... a few minutes earlier.....
