Chapter 5- 6 Months Later
Ryder's POV
"Shut up, whore," I teased Pete as I playfully smacked his shoulder.
"Make me," he smirked.
"You two need to stop flirting on my couch. It gets old," Joe chimed as he placed a bowl of popcorn on the coffee table in front of us. He turned off the lights and pressed play on the DVD player. We were watching The Nightmare Before Christmas with Andy, Patrick, Dallon, Ella, Brendon and Cameron Leahy from The Downton Fiction.
"If Ella and Brendon get to make out on your couch then we should be able to 'flirt'. Even though we're not really flirting," I said loudly causing the couple to break apart from each other. Everyone laughed at my joke except for Pete.
We settled down and got into the movie. Brendon and I sang along to This Is Halloween dramatically and took our performance very seriously.
After the movie was over, it was still quite early in the night, so we decided to play truth or dare. I knew how twisted these fuckers were, but I have a bad habit of not thinking before I make decisions.
"I wanna be asked first," Patrick spoke up.
"Patrick, truth or dare," Andy asked.
"Truth," he smiled.
"Pussy," I muttered under my breath earning a pouty face from Pat.
"Is it true that you wore a golden thong once when you were drunk?" Andy smirked.
Patricks face turned scarlet as he let out a timid, "yes." The room exploded into laughter but it eventually died down.
"Cameron- truth or dare?"
Cameron's pink lips turned into an evil grin. "Dare," he challenged. He always chose dare-just like me.
"I dare you to-" Ella spoke before leaning over to him to whisper the rest. Cameron's light eyes widened but then narrowed and his evil smirk returned. She leaned back to her spot and he nodded.
His eyes met mine and his smile grew wider. "Hey Ryder...." he spoke before he started advancing on me. He crawled "seductively" across the circle to get to me. I started inching away as he got halfway across. He's adorable, but that kid is crazy. He's never backed down from a dare and there's no such thing as awkward with him.
I got up to escape his intense trance on me and he rose as well. "I just wanna run" he started singing his bands song as he started legit chasing me. Eventually, he cornered me and picked me up. I thrashed around for a minute but then gave up and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Pretend I ambushed you with couch pillows," he whispered. I nodded my head and messed my hair up a bit.
When we got back, the game had continued without us. Pete was shirtless and had Dallon in a head lock. "They're back!" Joe chanted.
"Ryder, truth or dare?" Pete asked me.
"Dare," I said with no surprise. I grimaced as he looked around the room thinking. Pete was my best friend in the whole world, but out of everyone in the house, he was probably the most fucked up and demented. I liked it though.
"I dare you," he paused, "to kiss the sexiest person here."
"I can't kiss myself, fool," I smirked.
He rolled his eyes, "The second sexiest person."
I looked around the room. Ella is well Ella. Brendon is dating Ella. Joe has a girlfriend. Andy has a girlfriend. Dallon had a huge crush on me and I didn't want to fuel the fire. Cameron is too sweet and childlike, I wouldn't want to give him false hope. Patrick and I decided that our first kiss was a mistake so I didn't want to screw things up. Pete is my best friend and he doesn't give a shit about anything except for me, tattoos and music so why not?
I scooted over to him and shock filled his features. I have to admit that he is very good looking. I raised my eyebrows as if to ask permission and he nodded his head, his eyes burning into mine. I leaned into him and he met me, crashing my lips onto his. It lasted a little longer than necessary, but I was the only one who seemed to notice. We broke apart and I glanced at everyone's expressions. Most were surprised.
"But...I thought I was the sexiest one," Cameron said, pouting.
"No Cam, that's me," Dallon said gently as if he were telling a small child that Santa Claus wasn't real. Cameron let out an evil laugh and everyone laughed at his weirdness.
****
At about 3 am we all decided to leave.
"Bye fuckers!" Cameron shouted as he held his middle finger out his car window and drove off. I shook my head at him and suppressed a giggle.
I got into Pete's car and turned on the radio. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana was playing and we sang along with it as well as many others on our drive back to Pete's.
Over the past few months, Pete and I had gotten very close. He knew as much about me as Ella did and she had known me since we were children. It wasn't much, but for me to spill anything about my life was exceedingly rare. We lived together and basically did everything together. He even took me to get my first tattoo.
When we got home, I immediately got ready for bed and slipped in. I quickly drifted to sleep but was awakened a few hours later by Pete. The door opened and closed quickly and I heard Pete tiptoe to my bed. He slipped in beside me, making sure to keep some distance between us. "Nightmares again?" I asked groggily.
"Yes. Sorry to wake you," he admitted sheepishly.
"It's okay. Cmere," I mumbled, shuffling closer to him. He protectively wrapped his arm around my waist and I cuddled up into his bare chest.
"Goodnight, Ryder. Thanks for being so great," I felt him smile.
"Goodnight, Pete. And it's no problem. It comes naturally," I laughed. I couldn't help but think about all the great things that have happened to me these past few months. I met my idols. They became close friends. Now I can't imagine my life without them.
