Chapter 24
Damien
Jillian pulls me away from Tyler. Thank god. She starts kissing me, I pull away. I look over where people are dancing. Tyler is kissing Carly. My mouth drops open, "Damien," Jillian whines, "what's wrong with you."
"I- I have to go," with that, I walk out of the house.
Carly
Kissing Tyler is heaven. Almost like kissing- No I'm not going to think about that. The song ends, I tell Tyler I need to find Damien, since I'm leaving. Aunt Ginger wants me home at 11 and it's already 10:45. Damien isn't anywhere. I find Jill and ask her, where he went. She shrugs and say he left. Where could he have gone? Tyler finds me and tells me we have to go. I text Damien. He doesn't text back. I hope he didn't see Tyler kiss me. Ty kisses me goodnight, and I smile softly. Then I hop out and run up the steps. I change into my pajamas, and find my iPod. I turn it on and put it on shuffle. Thinking of You by Katy Perry comes on. It's exactly how I feel. Well not exactly but close. I sing along. Damien, Tyler. Both of them are my best friends. The only difference is I've kissed Tyler, and not Damien. Ever.
I fall asleep with a soft song playing in my head.
***
I wake up the next morning to my phone ringing. Just a text. Tyler. My heart pounds. 'U ok? You seemed pretty out of it last nite'
'Im fine. D he just left w/o saying G-bye.'
'Oh ok.'
I don't text back after that. I'm not sad or depressed just worried. I feel bad for liking Tyler the way I do. Damien, my best friend. He has moved on though. Somebody said he was kissing Jillian. That's even worse than kissing the assassin. Wonder where he is right now. Hope he's ok.
