Nothing But A Lie

Chapter 10

Cali's POV

"Well look who decided to finally show up," I am welcomed into the arms of Bradley the minute I walk in, taking me off guard slightly.

"Well look who's getting a little soft and sentimental here," I say flatly, shaking out of his arms.

He stands back and holds his hands up in surrender. "Hey I haven't seen you all day, is it a crime to want to hug my friend?"

I shake my head and take a seat next to Krista who seems to be awfully close to Blake on the couch. I won't lie when I say that I was surprised when I saw Trevor tonight, hair and clothes soaking wet, with a worried look on his face. I also won't lie when I say that I freaked out a little when I saw him in that part of town. Once again, he is one step closer to finding out my real life and what I actually do when I'm not at school. When he didn't ask me any other questions tonight though, I was relieved, but part of me has a feeling that deep down there were questions he had that just couldn't get answered.

"Took you long enough," Krista says crossing her arms, her blue eyes flash with annoyance. "I thought I was gonna die with just them two here watching this movie for the millionth time."

"Hey you enjoyed every minute of it," Blake says as he turns off the TV that was showing the credit scene. "I think it's time for me to hit the hay," Blake yawns, wrapping his arms around Krista's small body, and starting to fall asleep.

"Hey not so fast, where the hell are all the drinks?" I ask quickly. Part of the reason why I planned to come in the first place is for Krista's top of the line boos. Trevor grunts from the other side of the room where he is still standing, sending me a careful look.

"The rents decided to lock them away tonight," she sighs, "I guess they knew you were coming Cal."

I cross my arms over my chest and pout my lips, "Well that's not very nice. I swear your parents loved me."

A smile starts to form on her lips and she shakes her head, "Of course they love you, but they also know how crazy you can get when you drink. I don't think they wanted anything to be super crazy tonight."

"But have they even seen you babe? You get pretty crazy yourself," Blake pipes into our conversation even though he said he was going to sleep. Did he just call her babe? Are they official? How much shit could I have missed in one day?

"What the hell, did you just call her babe?" I ask surprised.

He smiles, but his eyes are still closed. "Of course I did, she's my wittle baby."

I look to both Brad and Trevor to see their reaction, only to find that they are both trying hard not to laugh. "You're so messed up Blake," I groan. "I'm bored anyway. The only reason why I came was to drink anyways and now that that's not an option I'm bored. Are there no parties tonight we could go to?"

"I heard there was a soccer party a few streets over. Some guy from Jefferson was hosting it," Bradley says and shrugs, "I was gonna go but thought why not spend time with my best buds instead."

Trevor elbows Bradley in the side forcefully, causing his face to scrunch up with pain. "Why would you say that? Now Cali is gonna want to go and we know that won't turn out well."

I jump up from the couch and make my way over to Trevor, a straight look on my face. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop telling me what to do. It's really fucking annoying. I can do whatever I want."

He rolls his eyes at me, hardly caring about my serious expression. "Come on, we all know where you would be if you didn't have someone like me keeping you out of trouble." His words are like knives jabbing into me. My stomach suddenly slumps to the floor and I'm finding it hard to breathe and my usual carefree demeanour can't seem to cover up how I'm really feeling inside. I walk right up to him, with my head held high so that our faces are just centimeters apart.
