3. We could always go on a road trip

"I'm sorry".

Eighteen years. That's how long I had known Sean. Out of those for nine years he had bullied me, hurt me, made me cry and taunted me and not once had he apologized.

You could see how I was speechless. I, Alexis Parker was speechless. I was never speechless. I had an opinion about anything and everything. I gaped at him, my mouth hanging open in shock.

"Say something" he whispered.
"You said sorry" I said stupidly.
"Yeah, I did and I mean it, really I shouldn't have pushed you in the pool and I shouldn't have snuck in your room. I snuck in to say sorry but then you came out and well, I got distracted" he said scratching his neck.

"Well, what about the last nine years." I asked him crossing my arms across my chest.

"I could say I'm sorry but then I would be lying" he said grinning. I knew the nice guy act wouldn't last. Once a jerk, always a jerk.

"Well then you're not forgiven" I said getting up and heading inside. Trust Sean to invade my peaceful space.

I tried to look for Spencer and Zach but I couldn't find either so
I went to the kitchen for another drink.
I grabbed another bottle of beer and leaned against the counter drinking it.

"Hey. " a blonde guy who I think is from my biology class said as I gulped down my beer.

"Move along. I'm not interested" I said looking ahead.

"I just wanted to be friends" he said drinking what I think was vodka.

"Oh well I'm Lexi" I said. Putting my hand out.

"Adam" he said shaking it.

We looked at the different people drinking, partying and walking around when I spotted Spencer. She was totally wasted .
Crap. I was supposed to keep her away from alchohol. How could she get wasted in 20 minutes?I'm a terrible best friend. Sean distracted me. Ugh. This is all his fault.

I walked over to her and pulled on her arm. She pushed me away and started kissing the guy.

"Hey, Spencer come on, you're drunk. Let's go home." I told her taking her arm again.

"But, I just got here" she said pouting. Yeah, spencer was stupid like really stupid when she was drunk. But then again, who isn't?
She brushed my hand away and got up on the sofa and started dancing. " I'm on top of the world. I rule the world" she started screaming at the top of her voice. She then proceeded to kiss the guy she was giving a lap dance.

" Spencer we are going home now!" I said grabbing her hand firmly and pulling her off the guy. A crowd had started gathering now.

"Hey woman, why don't you mind your own buisness" the guy said.

"Why don't you shut the hell up" I heard Sean say from behind me. For once, in his life he is helpful.

" And what you gonna do if I don't " he said getting up and pushing Spencer off. I grabbed her as she stumbled and moved away.

" this" Sean said punching the guy in the face so hard he fell down.

Sean came to where we were standing and pushed us towards the door.

"I'm taking you guys home" Sean said to us as we walked out. Spencer was as good as dead to the world mumbling stupid things as she walked leaning on me.

"What about Zach? " I asked him.
"He made it pretty clear he wasn't coming back home tonight . I'll pick him up from where ever he is tomorrow morning" Sean said opening the car door and making Spencer sit down.

I got in the front and he sat in his seat starting the car.
"I meant what I said you know" he said breaking the silence as we drove home.

"No, you didn't" I replied.
"I did. I'm even sorry about the past nine years." He said glancing at me.

"You're sorry for pushing me off the tree? Throwing me in the puddle? Tripping me as I walked? Embarrassing me at every chance you got?" I was almost yelling now.

"Yes?" He said in a tone that made it sound like a question.

"Saying sorry doesn't solve everything"I said. We had reached home and I got out getting Spencer out.

"You won't understand why I did what I did even if I tell you so forget about it" he said to me through the window.

I turned around.
"I hate you Sean Anderson" I spat. By the look on his face I could tell that those word affected him. But I know that I had every right to be mad at him. As I walked away, deep deep down I felt guilty. But now, the damage was done.

I woke up next morning to see Spencer already up and drinking the water and Tylenol I had kept for her last night.

"How are you feeling, I ask her" getting up and walking towards my en suite bathroom.

Spencer groaned lying down again. I laughed as i brushed my teeth.

I took a shower and got dressed in jean shorts and a white v-neck. Till then,thankfully Spencer had gotton up. I waited for her to shower and get ready checking my social networking sites and cleaning around my room a bit. Today I was in a very happy mood for some odd reason.

We made our way downstairs to see Sean's and Spencer's parents present and having breakfast.

Sean was present as well with Camryn and Jenny. His eyes met mine before he resumed his conversation with my brother and I turned around and walked towards my mom

" hey mom, what's going on?" I asked her.
" You'll get to know shortly sweety" she said patting my shoulder before joining Spencer's mom on the couch.

Spencer's mom and mine had been college room mates resulting in our friend ship. Sean's family had lived two doors down from us before we were born so our families were pretty close.

I got a bagel and some orange juice and went to the living room sitting next to Spencer and watching the repeat of Friends. God, I loved those guys.

After breakfast was over and everyone was in the living room my dad cleared his throat.

"So, you are about to head off to college in a couple of months. And we know, you guys have worked really hard to achieve this and we're very proud of you because you all deserve this. You're going to on a vacation."

"What? Why?" I blurted before I could stop myself.

"Consider it an early graduation gift. It has been funded by us. All you need is to be present. You can leave after we book . You'll be staying for about a week and should return here by 10th of April. "

"Why so suddenly? " Spencer asked.

"Well, you guys have spring break now and we all agree that you guys deserve a vacation." Sean's mom replies.

"Why now? Why not summer?" Zach asks.

"Do you want to go or not?" dad asked sternly

"Jeez, I was just asking. Of course I want to go." Zach asks.

"Then be a little grateful and stop asking questions." He says annoyed.

"Uh.....Where exactly will we be going on a vacation dad?" I asked.

"Where ever you want to go. You guys decide ad let us know. We'll make the arrangements."

"We could always go on a road trip."
