The Guy Next Door// Collaboration Chapter Part One

Julie paced around the room with her phone in her head.

“They were supposed to be here half an hour ago,” she thought. She turned her phone on, and no new messages calls or even snapchats appeared on her screen. She sighed and fell onto the couch looking up at the ceiling. She laid there wondering if something bad happened to them, or if they were hurt. Then, a creak came from the front door.

“Merry Christmas Julie!” Liv said running to Julie and hugging her. She smiled and sighed in relief as she saw all of her friends before her with presents in their hands. They were all busy during Christmas so decided to plan their Christmas on New Year’s Eve.

“Sorry we were late Jules,” Piper said. Robby stood behind Piper with his arms wrapped around her waist.

“It was all Maxwell’s fault!” Kam said pointing her finger at Maxwell, “My grandpa drives faster than you!” Grace let out a small giggle. Maxwell rolled his eyes and sat on the couch. Maxwell was already a very cautious driver, but Julie insisted he picked up their friends even though it was practically a blizzard outside. Kam looked over at Nathan, then to Thomas and Sophia. She secretly had been shipping them for years, so when Sophia got the courage to ask Thomas out, Kam jumped up and down with joy

Sophia followed Thomas over to the couch and sat in his lap. Ever since Thomas told his parents to shove it, Sophia and Thomas have been inseparable. They always had their hands on one another whether they had their arms around each other’s waist or simply holding each other’s hand. Thomas kissed the back of her head as a smile came to her lips.

Bryan walked over to Julie and kissed her cheek as he whispered “merry Christmas baby girl.” Bryan felt guilt fill his stomach as he tried to plan when to tell Julie about the bet.

Everyone put their presents under the tree. Spencer looked up at the tree and saw mistletoe dangling from the top of the tree. He smiled mischievously and looked over at Liv. Liv looked over at him and then saw the mistletoe between them. She slightly blushed and rolled her eyes.

“I swear to god spencer if you-” was all she could say before he planted a kiss to her lips. Whistling and cheering filled the room. Liv pulled away, the blush growing on her face. She playfully smacked Spencer and shook her head giggling.

Bryan and Robby went in the kitchen to discuss about coming clean with the bet which could split their group up forever. Piper looked over to where Robby was sitting and saw he had left his phone behind. Piper already had her fingerprint in his phone ever since they started dating so she grabbed the phone. She opened it up planning to spam his phone with selfies of her and set them as his home and lock screen. As she browsed through his phone she decided to look at his texts. She trusted Robby so she wasn’t worried about him cheating. As she looked through his messages she saw a group chat with all of the boys except Maxwell. She opened it and saw what she never intended to see. The whole group chat talked about the how Bryan was going to have sex with Julie. It talked about the whole bet and how everyone agreed with what they were going to make Bryan do to Julie. She felt her heart break. Why would they do this to Julie of all people? She quickly shut off the phone and grabbed Kam and dragged her to the bathroom. Kam gave her a questioning look as Piper showed Kam the group chat. Kam’s jaw dropped as she read the messages. Her eyes became red as she looked back at Piper.

“What are we going to do?” Piper asked. Kam shook her head as
they hugged, both feeling a pain of guilt in their stomachs for knowing.

“I don’t know but Bryan won’t live to find out,” she muttered.

Meanwhile Julie walked into the kitchen to check on Bryan. She was really falling for Bryan fast and so was he. They were the perfect couple. They were meant to be, meant to stay together forever.

Maxwell clenched his jaw as he saw his sister walk into the kitchen. He knew what was going to happen. He truly hated Bryan and Robby for what they were doing to Julie but he didn’t want to hurt her. Grace saw Maxwell tense and kissed his cheek. He smiled shyly and turned to her as he planted his lips on hers.

Bryan looked over at Julie as she entered the kitchen. Robby walked out running his hand through his hair, truly worried for Bryan. Sure, Robby could be a real jerk sometimes but he never meant for the bet to go this far. He also worried about what Piper would think of him after she found out he had started the bet.

As Robby came out of the kitchen he smiled as he saw Piper. As he looked at her and saw his phone in her hand with tears streaming down her cheeks. His smiled dropped as he ran to her. She knew everything.

“Piper I can explain,” he said trying to hug her. Before he could even touch her she slapped him as hard as she could.

(Back in the kitchen)

“Julie there is something I should tell you,” Bryan started looking at his shoes. Julie’s smiled faded at Bryan’s reaction. She could tell it was something important by the way he was acting. She placed her hand on his chin and gently lifted his head.

“What is it Bryan,” she asked looking at him. She looked into his eyes with worry which made him even more guilty. He couldn’t believe he was about to do this.

“Robby had this bet and I was in it and you were in it and I agreed to it,” Bryan said trailing off. Julie looked at him confused.

“Wait what?” she asked. She looked behind her to see everyone in the kitchen. She gulped as she turned back to Bryan.
