Only You

Chapter 35: Dirty Little Secret

"So you just kissed him?" Stella asks, "You're such a weirdo. I would've cried and slapped him up several times until he ended up on the floor begging for help." She says, laughing through the phone.

"I doubt you would actually do that to Randy." I tell her. I know she's joking but she would never act like that in front of a guy, they always tend to have her under their spell.

"Maybe someday I will." She says. "I still can't believe what they did, that's just-" she pauses for a second, "horrible".

"I know, but he even told me he has changed a lot since then. I truly believe he's a different person, a better person." I say. I had to tell someone about what happened and Stella was the first one who came to my mind. I needed another point of view and I don't trust most of the people I know.

"Your parents will freak out when they find out." She says in a sarcastic voice.

"They don't need to find out." I say, "Nobody will tell them."

"Are you sure?" She says and laughs, "Lighten up Allie, I'm kidding."

"I'm sorry. I feel I've been stressed out by school and my family and everything lately, my mood isn't the best these days." I explain.

I love to be happy and laugh out loud with my friends, my parents and my sister, but it's been pretty difficult to maintain a good attitude because of all the problems and conflicts that have happened the last few weeks.

My parents think I've changed a lot since the beginning of this semester and I probably have, but only because they're always attacking me, well, at least that's how I feel.

"I have the perfect solution for your depression." Stella informs.

"I'm not depressed Stella." I say and roll my eyes. I close my laptop, stand up from my chair and walk towards my bed lay down on it.

"Yeah, sure." She says and a smile covers my face, "A party."

"I dont-"

"Friday. Starts at 8:00 pm. At Randy's." She interrupts, "I can drive you there if you want."

"Parties aren't my thing." I say. They really aren't my thing, every time I go to one I end up either half naked, being kissed by someone who isn't Liam or worrying about something that happened to a friend. Like I said, I'm not a party person. Besides, I don't like to drink and everyone seems to take a drink after drink after drink in those places, they don't know how to have fun when they're sober.

"You're such a party pooper." Stella mocks. "Come on, Liam will probably be there."

"Probably." I still can't get out of my head what he told me today, it was a shock at the beginning but then something got into me and before I knew what I was doing, my lips were with his. I certainly got him by surprise.

"Talking about Liam, again, are you two now a thing?" She asks.

"A thing?" I rhetorically ask. I know what she is referring to but I don't think Liam and I are something. I mean, we are good friends, I enjoy being with him, we've kissed several times and I've met his mother and sister but I wouldn't consider ourselves as a couple. I would like to formal things up though, but I don't know if this is the right time or if he wants to be with me in that way.

"Yeah, like girlfriend-boyfriend, a couple." She explains, "That type of relationship were you kiss, you hug, you watch movies together, you eat ice cream together, and you practically do everything together. Do you get what I mean?" She sarcastically asks.

"I got a lot of homework to do and I haven't started." I tell her to avoid answering. I don't want to say the wrong thing. Even though I trust her, I still believe she's going tell Randy and then Randy will tell Liam and I will be embarrassed and that won't be nice.
