Deal Breaker

Chapter 17

~Raelynn POV~


It's been almost a week since Ashlynn and Lawrence were shot and put in the hospital. I still can't believe Lawrence and Amy are siblings. when she told us I was drinking water and almost spit it out on Amanda.

It's second block in school. Thank God it's Friday today. My mom is still pissed at us. She told us we couldn't go anywhere all week except for school and she took away our phones, iPads, iPods, TV's, and car for 2 months. She told us to ride the bus, but that was just a horrifying idea, so I asked one of the maids to call Spencer and ask him to pick us up for school.

The bell rings as I'm thinking about my punishment. I walk out of the classroom to be pulled aside by Amanda. "Hurry and get to the locker rooms; there is something you need to see." I looked at her with a confused expression but walked quickly to the locker rooms.

I saw Flower Bitch standing in front of some dude and thought "Why did Amanda want me to run and see that?"

I had just turned away when I heard someone fall and Flower Bitch scream "Owwwwww!"

I kept walking, not caring until I heard a familiar voice say "Are you okay?". I turned around, the tears already forming in my eyes, to see Spencer with his hand out towards her. She gets up and he leans in and kisses her. It's a long kiss and I get super pissed.

I walked straight over to him and before he could even process who I was I slapped him and screamed angrily in his face "Asshole!"

I ran away as fast as I could. I was heading out to the parking lot when I remembered I didn't have a car. I got really pissed off then. The tears stopped as I thought about what my mother did, how my brother is the favorite, how Ashlynn and Lawrence are shot, how I turned to drugs, how I've never had sex even though everyone thinks Spencer and me have done it many times, how Spencer could kiss her, but worst of all how "she" did that.

Right then and there I decide we will all get payback. Ashlynn and Lawrence for getting shot, Amy for the party, Amanda for all the rumors Flower Bitch spread about her, Karmin for all the mean things she said to her, and me for Spencer.

I decide I should call a taxi when I remember I don't have a phone. Damn, this punishment is getting annoying. I begin walking home even though it's pretty far away. A car starts and pulls up right by me in the parking lot. "Need a ride?" a deep voice shouts. I turn to look at him and see how hot he is. Damn he is freaking hot! He has the perfect length not to long not to short brown hair, broad shoulders, strong jaw, and I can see his abs through his tight shirt. I was about to say no, but after looking at him I change my mind.

I climb into the car and he says "Hello Raelynn."

"Uhhh hi." I wait a second before I say "Do I know you from somewhere"?

He just laughs and says "Wow thanks." He looks at me for another second then speaks. "You really don't remember me do you?" I shake my head slowly, very confused. He smiles and holds his hand out " It's Donavan, Donavan Keels."

At first I am totally shocked. It's Donavan, my best friend when I was younger. He was how I met Karmin, them being siblings and all. After I get over the shock, I am amazed. I haven't seen him in 3 years and he has changed so much I don't even recognize him. Now that I look closely, I see the little details that make him look more and more like Karmin.

After I get through all my emotions, I lean over and hug him. "I missed you so much. Three years is to long to be away from your best friend." I say.

I feel him chuckle while he hugs me. when he pulls away he says " Well I'm supposed to wait and surprise Karmin, but being the amazing brother I am, I think I will take you to lunch instead." I laugh; Donavan always had the best sense of humor.

As we pull off I think about why I haven't seen him in three years. I had started dating Spencer 4 years ago, when I met him freshman year. He sat by me last block and I began talking to him. We hit it off immediately and went on a date. After a couple dates, I introduced him to Donavan who had been a senior at the time. Donavan and Spencer were great friends at first until one day. The day Donavan kissed me.

He said he had to do it just once to let me know my options were open and Spencer might not be the best choice for me. I was completely offended and ignored him completely for a few days. About a week later, he came over to Spencer's house while I was there. I was in the bathroom but I still heard what he said. He confessed to Spencer that he kissed me and Spencer got very possessive and pissed. I left the bathroom and went to the stairs to watch as Spencer punched and kicked Donavan, till I jumped of the stairs and sprinted over to them. I jumped in between them and blocked my face. Spencer stopped before he hit me and I told him to stop.

He looked at me like I was crazy then told Donavan they shouldn't be friends anymore. A month later, graduation day came and Donavan went to collage. I haven't seen him since.

As we pull into a restaurant parking lot I can tell he is thinking the same thing as me. Fueled by anger at what just happend with Spencer and Flower Bitch, I lean over and before he can get out of the car pull his lips to mine. It's just a soft kiss at first then he deepens it. It's a very intense kiss for a minute until I pull away. I smile as I say "I had to do that just once to let you know that you have options." He smiles for a minute then his face falls.

"What about him?"

"He kissed my enemy and I slapped him. We are done now."

"Really? But Karmin was telling me how happy you to were," I shake my head as he continues. "What happened to the souls mates for life? Never breaking up? Happy together forever? The guy who kicked my ass for kissing his girl? What happens to that?" The sarcasm is deep in his voice so I just smile, but I can feel the tears begin to slide down my face one by one. He looks at me then realizes what he said. "Oh my god Lynney! I'm so sorry I wasn't thinking about what I was saying!" He pulls me into his arms as I sob. "Please don't cry Lynney. I promise I won't let him hurt you again".

After about 10 minutes of me crying into his shirt while he calls me Lynney (my nickname we came up with his is Donney) I think I got it all out. I try to pull away but he holds me to his chest, rubbing circles on my back "Are you ok now? Wanna go eat something?"

I shake my head no and whisper loud enough for him to hear, "Can we go hang out at your place like we used to do before all this happened? I wanna catch up with you. I missed you so much three years 1 month and 5 days is to long to be away from your best friend."

"I guess I'm not the only one who counted the days that we were apart." He smiles. I giggle a little at that but then I realize how bad my head hurts from crying.

He pulls away from the restaurant and drives to his house. It's a few blocks away from the school. We walk inside and his mom yells "Karmin I found him....... Oh Raelynn you're with him." At first she is mad because he didn't pick up Karmin, then she sees me and looks shocked. I haven't come to their house at all in the last three years, even though I used to always come here. this was me and Amanda's first home and our house was our second home.

After she gets over her shock, she walks up to me and gives me a giant bear hug that she would give us when I was younger. When she lets go she walks over and hits Donavan on the back of the head "Idiot. I told you to pick up your sisters, but instead I see Karmin coming in with Kaitlynn and Tiana." I laugh at Donney's face at what his mother said to him. Kaitlynn and Tiana are their little sisters. Kaitlynn is 15 and Tiana is 13. They are really pretty just like Karmin and her mother Lean. (Pronounced Lee-ann.)

Lean looks at me smiles and being the mother she is to me says "what are you laughing at your lady I'm sure it's your fault he wasn't there to pick then up". I smile at her and she smiles back then laughs. "well if you'll excuse me I am very busy with dinner". she walks into the kitchen and I hear her pick up the phone and say hello I need 2 cheese pizzas and 1 supreme with 3 sides of breadsticks and a dr. pepper." I laugh at how hard she is working on dinner. when Donavan pulls me into the living room. we sit on the seriously comfortable couch and watch our favorite move..... finding nemo. A little while later the pizza comes and we eat so much I feel sick. I know I'm going to be in trouble so I decide to spend the night at the Keels house.

As we are watching another movie I fall asleep with my head in donavans lap as karmin sits on my feet and kaitlynn and tiana curl up on the floor. he draws circles on my back slowly as my eyes slide shut.
