16: My Pills Don't Lie

Not edited!!! 


Chapter: 16 - My Pill Don't Lie 






Evan's POV:





Pills. I needed my pills. I already missed yesterday's one so I was already feeling some of the side effects. I was feeling restless and tired, the chest pains were horrifying and I knew that if I didn't take my pills soon then I would start with the vomiting and convulsions. To say that I haven't sneaked them would be a lie because I've been popping them every time that Summer mere turns her back but after I gave her the compliment she's been watching me like a hawk. I wasn't going to say another one. It was just the slip of the tongue. 


Coach made a huge mistake by handcuffing us together because I don't think that we have improved. Yes, I gave her a compliment. Yes, she told me her backstory. Yes, we've gotten physically close but I haven't kissed anyone for three days and I haven't gotten laid since last week and it's really getting to me. Bianca has tried a couple of times to make a move but Summer always coughs of moves and it makes the whole thing awkward. So nada action for me.


I looked down to a sleeping Summer. She looked so peaceful when she's asleep. She had her head rested in my lap and she intertwined our handcuffed hands, resting them on my knees. After Summer had told me her backstory we just sat next to each other looking out on to the field. After a while I suggested that we just went home and she happily agreed. But don't get me wrong, I didn't just ask for her sake because if I didn't get a pill down my throat I was going to die. Literally. My spare pills that had been sneaking had just run out and the rest of my packets were at home. 


I reached over and grabbed my phone off of the bedside table and took a selfie of Summer and I. I sent it to Jack. 


Looks like I'm getting more action than you at the moment :p -Evan 


Try anything on her and I will beat you to a pulp. - Jack 


Me? Why I would do no such thing ! -Evan 


hahahaha! So funny! I'm laughing. But hey, shouldn't you be practising Football ? -Jack 


Wow! You didn't tell me you had short term memory dude! YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS SLEEPING ON MY LAP! WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE HANDCUFFED TO ME! -Evan 


Just have fun bro (; -Jack 



ugh, that sneaky, sly bastard. I decided to text Sal to get the pills rather than get up and risk waking up Summer in the process. He replied shortly and I heard footsteps outside the door. 

Sal walked through the door, "I understand that your handcuffed together but why can't you just walk to the cabinet?" 

I put my finger to my lips shushing him, "She's asleep," I noises my head towards Summer, "and I need 'the' pills" I put emphasise on the word 'the'. 


"You haven't told her about your-" 

"Sal, shut up!" I hissed. "No one knows about my problem, no one. Not even Josh, who I have been best friend's with for years, so why in the world would I tell her?" I motioned to Summer who stirred in her sleep. 

Sal just sighed as he went into the ensuite muttering, "I should be paid double for this." 

"Get me the whole box!" I half whispered, half yelled after him. 

He came out and threw me the box before leaving. 

"Can you get me some chocolate from downstairs and some cupcakes, preferably chocolate because Summer's been muttering chocolate all day." I pointed at Summer and just as if on cue she muttered, 'yum- chocolate'.


Sid sighed heavily through his nose and replied in total monotone, "You will be the death of me, Evan Carter."

He turned to leave. "I love you too!" I called out after him and Summer stirred again. 


I took my pills and immediately felt like peeing. One of the stupid side effects. I poked Summer. 

"Summer-" poke, "Summer-" poke, "Summer-" poke, I had the perfect idea. 

"CHOCOLATE!" I cried and Summer jumped from my lap.

"WHERE?!??" She looked frantically around and I couldn't help but laugh at her brown hair falling onto her olive skin and green eyes. She looked cute as she looked for the non-existent chocolate. 

"Sid, is coming now with the chocolate and cupcakes. Here-" I handed her the period tablets, "It's time for you to take your tablet again" 


She smiled genuinely at me, "Thanks Evan, how did you know I felt like chocolate?"

"How could I not know? You've mentioned it at least 50 times today and like 10 times in your sleep." I laughed. "That reminds me, I took the cutest photo of you sleeping." 

I showed her the photo on my phone and she blushed a crimson red, "Why are we holding hands?"

I shrugged, "You grabbed it and I couldn't take my hand out." She blushed deeper. She tried to hide it by taking her pills instead and the sight of the cup of water reminded me why I woke her in the first place. 


"I need to pee!" I cried, grabbing her hand and running to the bathroom. She dropped the water and it spilt on her shirt. 

"Evan! That was a new shirt!" She groaned. 

I ran to the bathroom and she quickly turned away covering her eyes with her free hand. She began humming loudly to a Katy Perry song as I did my business. "Don't you need to go?" I asked her and she just smiled, swapping places with me. 

It was more awkward this time because I could hear her opening the pad but I tried hard to ignore it. 

Talk about awkward. 






"We need to practise out football. The game is in five days and I'm not letting some stupid handcuff from smashing everyone."


"Let's do this!" 


-.-.-.------


We jumped in and out of cones, lifting our feet up to chests. We were at perfect pace. Summer and I went back and forth, running until out legs could not move any further. 

"100 push ups," Summer told me as she pulled my hand down towards the soft green grass beneath us. Our arms brushed against it each other and tingles shot through my body. My heart raced and I tried not to think about the electric shots bolting through my body. 


We had been practising for around three hours and the sun was beginning to set. At first we were absolutely horrible and were crashing into each other right, left and centre. We were chickens without heads, dogs without legs, birds without wings, humans without brains, dinosaurs without whatever dinosaurs need to function. We finally got the hang of it and now we were professional handcuffed athletes. 


"One" Our bodies lowered until out chests hit the floor before pushing off again. We were in sync, laying next to each other, ready to give it our all. 

"Two, Let's do this Carter!" Summer told me.

"Three, back at ya, Embers!" I grunted as my arms pushed back from the ground. Three down, 97 to go, 100 sit-ups and a two minute plank before we finish. Let's do this! 



We finished our workout and I was proud at what we had achieved. Summer was really fit for a once obese girl. She had strong will power. And together with my own we had finished with a good bang. We were both dripping with sweat and panting. Our clothes were sticking to our body and we felt sticky but that didn't stop what Summer. 


"Why don't we invite The Crew over? We could eat pizza and junk food and like play on the play station!" Summer suggested. 

I looked at her, "Wouldn't you rather paint your toe nails and talk about your feelings?" I pressed. 

"That was one time Evan. And no. I want to play Halo with you and the boys." 


"Okay let me give them a call." She hugged and whispered a thank you into my chest. She immediately lifted her head and grabbed her nose. 

"It's been two days and after this workout, I really need a shower. Deodorant just isn't cutting it." She told me. 

"After we play COD?" 

"YAY! I'll text Jack and Josh and you text the Kade and Kevin. Do you think that Vanessa would want to come?" She asked me. 

"Josh said she was on a date." 

"Oh okay, let's get ready." 

We collected the junk food and plopped onto the game room couch. The boys would be here any minute and Summer already had a bag of skittles open. 

"Remember what I told you earlier today?" Summer asked maintained eye contact. 

"Yeah, you told me how you were bullied and that a boy saved you." 

"Can you not tell anyone about that? You were the only person I've ever told that to and well I don't want anyone to ever know about. To be honest, I don't even know why I told you." She trailed on.

I smiled at her, "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me."

------------/-----


"FUCK YEAH! Did you see that bitches? I whooped your asses! CAN I get a hell yeah?" Jack jumped up on the table and swayed his ass around. 

"Victory kiss?" He asked Summer. She nodded and their lips met. My heart broke and I shrugged it off. I couldn't feel this way about a girl. Especially this one. First of all it was against my rules to fall in love because I would get hurt. Second of all she didn't like me back and I wasn't about to go on a goose chase for love. And third, I don't know... SHE'S TAKEN BY ONE OF MY BEST MATES! 

If I didn't know better I would have thought that I was the one pmsing.












Summer's POV:

I let out a high pitched shriek and threw my head off Jack's shoulder. 


"I can not believe you screamed!" Kevin laughed. 


Kade looked at me in pure amusement, "You know that we are only 10 minutes into the movie?"


"And that it was just a box?" Josh added. 


I huffed, "Well excuse me for being a girl."


"A hormonal girl." Evan muttered under his breath and I was hoping that I was the only one who could hear it. 


"You can hold my hand if you want to," Jack told me as he held out his hand. I took it in the hand that wasn't attached to Evan's and interlocked our fingers. I gave him a warm smile and he returned one. 


"Let's get back to the movie!" Josh cried, through his hands in the air. We all chuckled at his enthusiasm. 


Half an hour into the movie and my bum was numb. OHH! That rhymes! I shifted uncomfortably until I found a good position. The screen was dark and gloomy as it showed the attic from The Conjuring. Eerie music played in the background and I was shitting myself. 


"That was nice of you to stand up for that Freshman girl," Jack whispered in my ear, his hot breath tickling my neck. 


"OH FOR THE LOVE OF A GIRL'S SANITY! Why would you scare me like that?" I yelped.

Josh laughed at my reaction, "God, you should have seen your face!" He pointed at my open mouthed expression. "But, what you did was really special."


"Yeah!" Kade and Kevin said in unison and I looked at them dumbfounded. I noticed that Evan hadn't said anything, I looked at him and he gave me a sympathetic smile. A real genuine one. 


"HOW COOL IS THAT? It looks like a mirror! Like its one person and the other is just like their reflection. I want to be a twin, so I can mind speak and like do cool telepathic stuff and how cool would it be if-"


Kade and Kevin cut me off in unison "If you shut up?" Doing that cool twin thing. I hadn't even realised I was changing the subject but then again I didn't want to bring up the subject. 


I didn't want to feel the pain that I had felt looking at Samantha get bullied. I didn't want to be reminded that it was once me. I didn't want to be reminded that I had threatened the whole school. I definitely didn't want to be reminded that I had practically pouted my soul out to Evan. Or that he knew that my father-

Wait how did he even figure that out anyway? 

The sleeping pills, remember?

What?

You- We- talk in our sleep when we're on drugs. 

Oh! That makes do much sense. 

That means that Evan practically knows my entire secret and I don't even know half of his. I know that his father left him when he was younger but why? And why was he Antonio Christianio Be La Vichi? I know he has a musical talent but why did he stop making music? Why is he so secretive and never actually 'dates' or takes relationships seriously? And why is football so important to him?


Questions raced around my mind and I came to a conclusion- "I practically know nothing about Evan and Evan knows everything about me." 



I thought back to the bet we had made, "but remember that you are the perfect girl, but ever perfect girl has her faults. I'm going find out what they are and I, Evan Carter are going to shatter you."


Would he really? It's just that I've just witnessed such a beautiful side to Evan. The sweet, caring, thoughtful, sympathetic, side. He's been so careful with me since I had told him my little rant that you would this I was paper-thin glass. I was once that fragile but I wasn't anymore. I'm stronger but some times I break. Everyone breaks. 


And I just hope that Evan won't be the one to break me. 





-.--.-.--



"AAAHHHH! MY EYES! THEY BURN!!!" I shrieked, shooting my hands up to cover my eyes.


"I'm not even naked yet!" Evan looked at me in complete shock. 


"I'm just practising," I told him earnestly and he looked at me like I had three heads. 

"You are something." He muttered under his breath so low that I had to strain my ears to pick up what he had said. 


"You keep saying that,"


He shrugged, "It's true." I didn't press on the subject because I didn't want to risk him going back to all cocky, asshole Evan and mocking me for thinking it was a good thing. 


"I don't get why we have to do it this way! Why can't we just shower together?" Evan groaned. 

The air got stuck in my throat and I began coughing violently. Evan smacked my back with way too much force. When I finished from my coughing fit, I glared at Evan with so much power I was shocked that he wasn't in flames. 

"How about you stop being a pervert and start to undress, while I put on this scarf to blindfold myself because closing my eyes just isn't going to cut it." I told him as I slapped his arm. My fingers tingled from the effort. 



"You say it so sexually..." Evan's voice was low and raspy and my heart sped up. I looked at with utter disgust. 


"You pervert!" 


He laughed as he began to undress and I put the scarf on my eyes. I turned my back away from the shower. We had put sheets on the outside so that even if I did turn around Evan would be on the inside of the glass and I would be on the outside so I would just see the duck print if the sheets. 


I heard the water turn on and I felt the steam on my arms. I kept my eyes shut as I heard Evan open the shampoo bottle. He began to hum loudly, probably to ease the tension. 


With my free hand I began to take off my blind fold. I bent down to the bottom cabinet to look through the contents. Evan already knew my secret and I was way behind on the clue hunting so this was my perfect chance. Who know maybe he's on drugs? I left my hand above my head so that Evan wouldn't suspect anything and began to rummage through the garbage. It was just manly stuff; razors, mouth wash, scrubs. Nothing impressive. 


I pulled my body up and decided to look through the top cabinet. My mouth dropped to see packets and packets of green pills. I grabbed a packet in my hand and I felt the coolness of the tin packaging on my bare skin. I turned the package and squinted my eyes so that I could read the fine print. 






Nothing, not a single thing in this god foresaken world could prepare me for what I was about to read.
