Mistaken Love

Chapter Twenty-three.

I held my breath, as I stood on my force porch, watching the event that is currently taking place; Rachel meeting Bethany for the very first time.

A week has passed since our argument. Since that day, Rachel and I have gotten much closer, and I couldn't be anymore thankful.

Once I left Rachel's house that day, I asked Bethany if she could tag along on our trip back to our hometown; Spring Valley. Let's just say... I have never seen Bethany get overly excited over meeting any of my significant others before.

"I'm so glad you're coming along with us!" Bethany cheered, as she continued her conversation with Rachel.

Rachel blushed, as she waved her hand a bit. "No, no!" Rachel spoke. "I should be thanking you for letting me come."

Both Rachel and I knew well enough that her parents weren't going to agree on letting her go out to Spring Valley with Bethany and I for the weekend, so she told them that she was spending the weekend with Maria. Fortunately, they said yes and let her run free afterwards.

"It's no biggy." Bethany responded, before turning her attention to me. "Are we ready to go?" She asked.

I took a quick glance downward, looking at two suitcases. One, was mine and the other was Rachel's. I nodded my head, as I bent down to pick them up.

"Let's go!" I chuckled, as I walked towards Bethany's vehicle.

I tossed our suitcases in the trunk, before hopping in the backseat, after opening the passenger door up for Rachel. Once we were all buckled up, Bethany started the engine, as she quickly took off down the road.

"Slow down! You're going to kill us." I mumbled, nervously, as I gripped onto the assist handle; the handle that's place on the top of the car near the doors.

Bethany laughed, as she shook her head. "No one's going to die today, I promise!" She explained, before taking a sharp left onto another street.

I gripped the handle tighter. "I think I'm going to be sick." I gulped.

"You better not get my baby messy!" Bethany yelled, as she rolled my window down.

Rachel turned in her seat to look at me. She was biting her lip, showing that she was also a bit nervous with Bethany's driving skills, but she flashed a smile, as if she was having a blast.

Boy, this is going to be a long twenty minutes...

I quickly stepped out of the car, as I took a deep breath of the Spring Valley atmosphere. I have lived here all my life, and it was good to be back to visit.

Bethany got out of the car, as she crossed her arms, flashing me a cocky smile.

"See? No one died." Bethany reminded me, before shutting her car door.

I rolled my eyes, as I walked towards her open truck, to retrieve Rachel's and my suitcase.

"Whatever." I retorted. "Just wait till I drive!" I added.

Bethany opened up her mouth to say something, but Rachel was beat her by a millisecond.

"Oh, baby." Rachel cooed. "Your driving will probably be worse."

My mouth fell open, as both girls fell into fits of laughter. I couldn't help but chuckle, as I shook my head.

"I'll take that as a compliment." I replied.
