The Boy That Stole My Heart

Chapter 2: An Eventful Sunday

I woke up the next morning to my alarm blaring. I slammed my hand down on the alarm clock and shot out of bed. I changed into shorts and a t-shirt. I put my hair up in a tight ponytail and walked downstairs. When I got there, I saw William in his shorts and t-shirt as well. He handed me a cold water bottle as I heard a moan. I turned and saw Clint stumble into the kitchen. His black eye looked worse than yesterday.

"Oh my God. You look like shit." William said.

"Thanks ass wipe." Clint said. "Where the hell is the Ibuprofen?"

I dug through the medicine cabinet. "We don't have any. We must've ran out."

"Son of a bitch..." Clint sat down.

"We can get some on our run." William suggested.

"That would be great." Clint walked back to the couch and threw himself down.

William and I started our run. We ran every Sunday together because we both needed the exercise. Well, William didn't need it as much as I did. I wasn't fat but I didn't play any sports so it was good that I got some exercise in. Anyways, I liked these runs because we usually go early in the morning and it's really pretty.

We ran to the pharmacy and walked inside. We got some Ibuprofen and paid for it. As soon as we were getting ready to leave, a girl that was wearing tight leggings and a crop top walked inside. She smiled at William and disappeared down an aisle. I heard William gulp.

"I'll meet you back at home." William said and he jogged off down the aisle the girl was at.

I rolled my eyes and began my run back home. It was kind of lonely without William but I guess it gave me some time to think. When I got home I stepped inside and heard soft music playing. I walked to the living room and almost puked. I saw Clint making out with a random girl on the living room couch. Clint saw me and pushed the girl away almost immediately. The girl looked at me and quickly put on her shirt.

"Lexi! Um..." Clint looked at me dumbfounded.

"What the shit Clint?!" I screamed. 

"Who is she?!" The girl asked.

"She lives here..." Clint said.

"Are you having an affair with her?!" The girl shrieked.

"No baby no." Clint said reassuringly.

"Okay you both need to get out." I snapped, pointing to the door.

"Lexi-"

Just then, the front door opened and William walked inside. He looked at everyone and glared at Clint.

"Clint I told you not to bring any of your girlfriends here!" William said.

"I didn't think you guys would be home so fast." Clint said.

"I'm leaving! You guys are fucking insane!" The girl yelled. She walked out the door and slammed it shut behind her.

"You don't deserve these!" I snapped, holding up the Ibuprofen.

"I'm sorry." Clint said and he reached for the Ibuprofen.

I pulled back. "No. You don't get them!"

"Stop being ridiculous Lexi." Clint snapped.

"Fuck you." I said and walked to the bathroom with Clint right on my tail. I suddenly tossed the Ibuprofen into the toilet and Clint yelled out.

"Why would you do that?!" Clint yelled.

"Cause you're a dick." I said flatly.

"You kind of deserved it." William said, walking into the bathroom.

Clint sighed. "Whatever." He walked out of the bathroom.

That night, I was typing on my computer when my door opened and Clint and William stepped inside.

"Lexi, some friends are coming over tonight." William said.

"So don't come downstairs." Clint said.

I rolled my eyes. "Don't worry. I don't wanna see you two make out with sluts."

In only a couple of hours, a full blown party was going on downstairs. I knew I wasn't going to get any sleep tonight because of the blaring rap music coming from downstairs so I made of list of things I could do to keep me busy. I had a television and a ps4 in my room so that would help me stay entertained. I knew I would get really hungry so I walked downstairs to grab some snacks.

When I got down there, I barely recognized my house. It was trashed beyond belief. There was a bunch of beer cans everywhere, furniture was tipped over, throw up was staining the carpet, and drunk teenagers were sprawled out on the ground. I stepped over one of the teens and opened the refrigerator. Nothing. One of these idiots raided the fridge and there was nothing in there. I sighed and closed the door. I felt a strong hand on my shoulder and turned to see William standing behind me.

"What are you doing down here?" William asked, slurring his words. "I thought we told you to stay upstairs."

"I got hungry but you and your dumb ass friends took all the food." I said flatly.

William chuckled. "Sorry kid. Hey, you wanna come play a game or two?"

"I thought you didn't want me down here."

"You can play a game. Come on."

William dragged me through the crowd and sat me down in a circle full of drunk teenagers. I saw Clint sitting across from me. I noticed a bottle in the middle of us and I felt a ping of fear in my chest. Spin the fucking bottle. 

I tried to leave the circle but I was stuck where I was. There were teenagers all around me. 

"Who wants to go first?!" William yelled and a random boy raised his hand.

I watched as he spun the bottle and I prayed it didn't land on me. Luckily, it didn't. That was how the whole game went. I would cross my fingers and say a silent prayer each time a boy spun the bottle. Eventually, I stopped worrying so much. I was starting to have fun. I was caught up in a conversation with an attractive teenage boy I almost didn't notice Clint spin the bottle. I watched as it came to a complete stop. It fell silent and it took me a second or two to realize that the bottle landed on...ME!

"Well well well." Clint smirked, inching towards me. 

I shook my head. "No way!"

I was about to make a run for it, but the teenagers purposely blocked my way so I didn't have a way out. I looked back at Clint and he was so close that I could feel his soft breath against my lips. I gulped and Clint smiled.

"Nervous?" Clint asked softly.

"N-No..." I lied.

"Good..." Clint grinned

Clint pressed his lips against mine and my eyes went wide. Clint didn't pull away for at least a minute. A minute felt like an hour, stuck there with Clint kissing me. Finally, he pulled away and I automatically stood up and ran up the stairs and to my room. I slammed my door shut and I locked it with shaking hands. I took a deep breath and sat down on my bed, replaying the events that just happened downstairs. 

A knock on my door made me jump. I opened my door a crack and saw William.

"You okay?" William asked with a small smile.

"I hate you and Clint." I snapped. "I hate you so much!"

I slammed my door shut, locked it again, threw myself onto my bed, and tried to go to sleep as the sounds of the party echoed through the night.
