Don't Get Caught

Buzz Kill

Recap:
   I took one last glance at the house. How am I going to explain not being there in the morning to dad?

*The Next Day*

I woke up on the couch at Frank's house.  At first I was lost and had to look around, but then I remembered the events from the night before. I sat there with my head in my hands for a few minutes.  At this moment I was greatful  for the party last night so Ashton wasn't there. The arrogant asshole probably would have found it hilarious and not done anything.

"Good morning Lana how are you feeling?" Frank said handing me a cup of coffee.

"I'm ok. Hey can we not tell anyone about what happened last night. Just keep it between us and Karen." I knew he had already told Karen. So there was no point in saying just between me and him.

"Lana the police need to be told." He said in a caring voice.

"Why he never officially did anything so it wouldn't do any good. I don't want anyone to know. Especially not my dad." In my head I added or Ashton but Frank didn't need to know that.

"If you insist." He sounded a little saddened.

"Thank you. I owe you so so much." I said with a smile.

"You owe me nothing. You are family. You're my other daughter." His words made me cry. I had never really had a family except for my mother and she couldn't be a good mom because she was trapped inside her own fear.

"So do you need some clothes?" Frank asked.

"No. I'm wearing my uniform. Thankful for the one time I'm severely lazy." I laughed lightly. "Thank you so much for everything Frank. I owe you so so much."

"We aren't starting this again." He shook his head and laughed.

"I better head to school. I'll see you later?" I smiled and gave him a quick hug before I left.

*At School*

"You missed a killer party last night. So what did you do? " Hannah said with a lot of excitement in her voice.

"Oh yeah? I just stayed in and studied all night. Ya know big tests and all that."  I laughed lightly.

"Buzz kill... you could have lied and said you had sex with some hot guy. Let's see what hot guy could you have slept with. Oh yeah Nick. You could have lied and said you had sex with Nick. You know just to spice your boring life up a little." Hannah said shaking her head.

My heart skipped a beat when she spoke those words.

I was about to make a joke about it when Ashton,Calum and a couple more of Calum's friends walked over.

"Hey princess." Ashton whispered as he  stood next to me.

I wasn't in the mood for him so I wasn't even going to acknowledge his presence.

"Hey Cal." Hannah said while wrapping  her arms around his neck. "I missed you this morning."

They did it again. Was all I could think.  I swear that's all they ever do.

"I'm sorry. I just had to be at the house before my mom woke up." Cal said with a little eye roll.

"You two are so gross." Michael said with a gagging noise.

"your just jealous because you aren't getting any. Lana isn't and you don't hear her complaining do you." Hannah said.

"Lana doesn't do most things. Besides she wouldn't complain even if she had to." Luke said.

"I'm standing right here." I said a little annoyed.

"Sorry Lana we didn't mean any offense." Hannah said with a soft smile.

I was thankful for when the bell rang. I was tired of Ashton's eyes and everyone talking about me. I just wanted this damn day over with.
