I smiled as I watched Lulu's profile.
It was a selfie of her, in her 'evening gown'.
It gave me a good look of her....body.
It made me sure that she was a...girl.
I sighed. Even though she was a girl from the start, I had the slightest hope it was..maybe.. Mitch.
Mitch.
That name stung my heart so much.
I closed my eyes and opened the house door.
All the lights were out and I heard snoring. Probably Avi and Kevin, I guess.
And yelling. Probably K and L drinking.
I quietly tiptoed in my room. The light was out but I instantly knew Alex wasn't asleep.
"Al...?" I whispered.
No answer.
"Al."
"Where were you..?"
I bit my lip. "Just outside. I met a friend."
"A friend? In Transylvania?"
I sighed. "The girl I met at the airport. Lulu."
Quiet.
"Her name is Lulu..?"
"Alex she's a girl. I don't have anything towards her, okay? Don't worry."
"Scott how can I not worry? I can't...I just.."
I heard his sobs. I ran towards the light switch and fliched it on. Alex was in the corner, hunched up and crying.
"Al...?"
I sat next to him slowly. I put my arm around him and held him tight. "Alex...."
"You have no idea how worried I was.." He cried. I held him tighter. "Alex....I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I won't worry you again."
"Sc....Scott...."
He met my eyes. "Scott....You know the girl?"
"Who.."
"The girl at the airport. Lulu."
"Well....she reminded me of a friend. An old friend of mine I lost a long time ago. But she wasn't really."
My voice trailed off. "She wasn't Mitch."
Alex slowly raised an eyebrow. "Mitch?"
"An old friend."
Alex nodded. "Well. Okay. Please don't disappear like that ever again."
I nodded sleepily. "Of course."
We cuddled together for what seemed like forever. So close....
I almost didn't hear my phone ring.
Avi's POV
I woke up with a start.
I lay awake, blinking up at the darkness. Kevin's snoring rang in my ears.
I stared at the clock. Three thirty five.
I slowly slipped out of bed without touching Kevin. I tiptoed out and opened the door.
I opened the girl's room first. Kirstie and Lindsey were drinking beer, yelling.
"I MEEEEAAAN, HE'S TOTALLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUUUUU." Kirstie screamed.
"I KNNNOOOWWW, BUT HE'S SSSSSOOOOOOOO ADORABLE AND CUTEEE! I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH, YOU THINK HE LIKES ME TOO?"
"TOTALLLLY. I SEE THE WAY KEV LOOKS AT UU."
I raised an eyebrow.
So Lindsey had a crush on Kevin.
Interesting.
I started off, but stopped when I heard a familiar name.
"HEY YOU REMEMBER MIITTTCCHIE?"
"DDDDUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH. HE WAS ADORABLLLLLLEEEEEEE. TOO BAD HE'S GONE THOUGH."
"YAAAH. THE POLICE THOUGHT HE WAS A VAMPIRE. STUPID POLICEMEN. OUR MITCHIE COULD NEVER BE A VVVAAMMMPIIIRRREE."
I bit my lip hard. My fist shook.
"Mitchie.." I whispered.
I missed him like crazy.
I sighed and opened Scott and Alex's room.
Snoring sneaked out and I tiptoed in.
I saw Scott lounging on the bed with his arms around Alex's neck. I untangled them carefully.
I sat on a stool nearby.
I stared at Scott's handsome face. A sigh sneaked out and I shook my head.
"What am I gonna do with you, you bad boy?" I whipsered as my fingers slipped though his hair elegantly.
His lips curled into a smile. He slipped away, mumbling something in his sleep. I slowly started to slip away, but then I saw Scott's small iPhone.
Simply out of curiosity, I turned it on.
And simply out of curiosity, I unlocked it.
I stared at the text page.
Airport gurl: Hey.
Airport gurl: It's me. Do you wanna meet for coffee tomorrow?
I stared at her profile pic. Yes, it was the girl from the airport. "The purnette?" I mumbled.
Then I saw something even more shocking.
Scott Hoying: I'm sorry, I don't think I have time. I'm quite busy with my boyfriend and my friends because, if you haven't noticed, I'm on VACATION, and I don't want to be disturbed. Sorry.
