Lies My Mother Told Me

Chapter 2: (New)

Chapter 2:

I literally had no idea what to write back. Erin really liked him and how would she feel if she knew her best friend was going to a party with the person she liked. How would she feel knowing he asked me instead of her?

I picked up my pen and started to write back to him. I slipped the note to Luke and watched him read it. He looked at me with a puzzled face plastered on his face.

Me: Aren't you dating Erin? 

Luke: No, why would you think that? 

Me: You gave her a hickey... 

Luke: We were just fooling around... It does not mean anything 

Me: But Erin likes you 

Luke: So? I don't like her. Please, Summer? We’re just going to a party to have some fun.

Me: But she’s my best friend…

Luke: We can say we’re just going as friends…come on Summer

Summer: Fine

Steven's P.O.V

I couldn’t help but notice that Summer and Luke were passing notes. Every second or so I would look up at Summer reading the note or passing it back to Luke. A pang of jealousy hit me in the stomach. Why was Luke passing notes to Summer? I looked back at my notes and tried my hardest to focus on the notes.

About 15 minutes later, the bell rang. I shut my notebook and shoved it back in my messenger back. I slung my bag over my shoulder and slipped out of my seat. I headed for the door until I saw something on the floor. I walked behind Luke and the note that he and Summer was passing fell out of his notebook. He didn’t notice and kept on walking. I bent down and snatched the note. I unraveled the note and saw their conversation. I kind of felt bad being a snoop and all. But my jealousy and curiosity got the best of me. Luke asked Summer to go with him to a party on Friday. She didn’t want to at first because Erin…

Another damn pang of jealousy shot through me. Erin likes Luke? Erin and I used to date. We dated for a long time. Freshman to Junior year. She was my first love and I don’t think I’m completely over her yet. She never told me why she broke up with me.

*FLASHBACK*

I ran my fingers through her slick blond hair. I kissed her tender lovely lips with so much hunger.

“Please, Steven. I need to tell you something,” she said in a gasp. I gazed into her soft hazel eyes with a goofy smile on my face. She sighed and ran a nervous hand through her hair. She began to sniffle and a tear strolled down on her cheek.

“Please don’t tell me what I think it is,” I pleaded. My heart was falling apart shard by shard. Please don’t break up with me. Please.

She started to burst into tears she fell into my arms and gripped me as hard as she could. She cried into my shoulder and tried to get the words out. She just couldn’t, and I didn’t want her to. I cried with her. She’s the first time I’ve ever cried in front of anyone. She can’t leave me. She can’t, she has no idea how much I love her.

*3days later*

I literally had no idea what to wear. I couldn’t use my mom’s credit card to go buy something to where either. My mom was away on a business trip and if it wasn’t for this trip I would never be going to this party. My mom would NEVER let me go anywhere without her by my side. It’s not like I was a bad child and got into trouble all the time. She says she doesn’t trust the people around me. EVERYONE. She wouldn’t even let my aunt take me to New York City to go shopping without her. So I can’t even buy an outfit for the party because she wouldn’t see it on the computer. But I’m pretty sure I can find something to wear from my closet. I would have Erin come over and help me because she knows everything down to makeup, accessories, and hair, but I can’t let her help me get ready for a party that I’m going to with her crush.
