Love Triangle

Chapter 10

"I'm beyond tired," Taylor yawned. "Then go to sleep," I suggested. Taylor went upstairs to her room and left Quentin and I in the movie room. "Quentin, bro, what are you doing?" Tanner groaned. "Oh hey Lindsey," he furrowed his brows. "Taylor and I were watching a movie then Quentin came out," I told him. He sat on the side of me that Taylor was sitting in. "How was dinner with the boyfriend's mother?" Tanner looked at me. "You had dinner with parents?" Quentin shouted. I laughed and put the blanket on. "It was good," I told them. "Did Karen bust you guys?" Tanner smirked. "Yes! She walked in on us making out. Like full on," I blushed. "No way! That's priceless," they laughed and we put on a movie.

From: My Boyfriend

Are you home yet?

To: My Boyfriend

Oh my god! I'm so sorry babe. I started a movie with Quentin and Tanner. I'm going home now.

I got up and the boys stirred since they were asleep. "I'll drive," Quentin groaned. "No, I brought Dylan's car," I whispered trying not to wake up Tanner. "I can walk back," he shrugged. I rolled my eyes since Tanner and I only live a minute away from each other. "So you and Tanner kissed while in California?" Quentin asked once we got to my house. "Do not talk about it," I snapped at him. Quentin walked me up to the door and he leaned on the frame. "I wasn't going to say anything to anyone except you," he informed me. I sighed and said, "I'm sorry Quincy. It was just a mistake."He looked at me and nodded. "Dylan is a lucky guy, Lindsey. Don't hurt him," He half smiled and walked down my steps. I watched him walk off and I went inside my house. I went up to my room and went to sleep.

"Lindsey, are you kidding?" Dylan screamed at me. "Dylan, I'm sorry. I love you," I cried as he walked around the house. "Clearly you don't since you cheated on me with my best friend," he shouted and pulled at his hair. I sobbed and stood up. "Don't touch me," he yelled. I froze and looked up at him. His eyes were glossy and I could tell my face was covered in tears. "I love you," I whispered. "Get out of my damn house," he looked down. "Dylan," I moved closer to him. "Get out!" He yelled and pointed to the door. I nodded and walked out of his house. I drove home and sat in my car. When I looked up I saw Tanner and Quentin outside of Tanner's house. Tanner was looking at my car and I got out. "Lindsey," Tanner shouted. "Don't ever talk to me again," I yelled and ran inside my house.

"Linds are you okay?" My mom held my shoulders. "Am I still dating Dylan?" I cried. "I believe so," she nodded. I grabbed my phone and saw a text from Dylan. Thank god it was just a dream. I don't know what I would do without him. I checked the time and realized it was 11 am. Dylan is still in school, so I decided to go to Tanner's. I walked in the front door and said hi to the family and then I walked downstairs. "Can I drive your R8?" I asked and leaned on the front door. "Why?" Tanner asked turning to me. "I just want to go for a drive," I shrugged. "Go for it. Don't get pulled over. You know where the keys are," He smiled and I grabbed the keys and walked into the garage. I drove around for about two hours and I came back to Tanner's house. "What was wrong earlier?" Tanner asked as I put the keys down on his dresser. "I had a dream that I told Dylan and he freaked out," I looked down at my hands. "Told him what?" Tanner asked and came over to sit with me on the bed. "The kiss, Tanner," I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. "Linds," he started. "Yeah I know. I can't tell him. I just feel so guilty," I groaned. My phone went off and I looked down at it. "Who is it?" Tanner cleared his throat. "What? Oh. Just Dylan asking me to pick him up from school," I said and put my phone aside. "I need to tell him Tanner," I sighed. "Lindsey," He put his head in his hands. "I am sitting with my boyfriend every damn day feeling guilty as hell because you couldn't keep it in your pants Tanner! I'm dreaming about what would happen. I'm constantly thinking about how he is going to hate me because I kissed you back. I'm not going to sit here and let my boyfriend continue to love me when I did something bad," I yelled and Tanner looked taken back. "I'm sorry Tanner," I let out a breath and he nodded. "It's okay," he admitted. "You can tell him," He said after a few minutes of silence. "Thank you Tanner," I sniffled. He gave me a hug and I realized I should go pick Dylan up from school. I got in Dylan's car and drove to Augusta High School. I sat in the parking lot and sat on my phone for a little bit until the car door opened. "Hey lovely," Dylan said and kissed me. I smiled weakly and I drove to Dylan's house. When we got to his house he dropped his bag on the floor and plopped onto his bed. "Come cuddle," he smiled and I took a deep breath. "Dylan I need to talk to you," I said and sat at the bottom of his bed. "What's wrong? You can tell me anything," he put his hand on my knee. I rested my hand on his and looked at him. I must've started crying because he wiped away a tear that fell. "Lindsey you are worrying me," He said and looked around my face. "While we were in California, Tanner and I spent a lot of time together as you know. Well we went over to Tanner Fox's house and Fox went inside. And Tanner kissed me. I'm not going to lie Dylan. I kissed him back and I regret it so much. I love you so much Dylan Mitchell," I explained. Dylan's face was blank. We were silent for a few minutes. "Dylan," I started. "Get out," he whispered. "Dylan please," I started to cry. "Lindsey, I trusted you so damn much. I love you and you kissed my best friend," Dylan raised his voice. "Please just get out Lindsey," Dylan moved back on his bed. Tears started streaming down my face and I ran out of his house. I realized I have driven his car here so I ran home as fast as I could. I ran into my room when I got home and started packing a bag. "Lindsey," my mom said from behind me. I turned around and she noticed the tears streaming down my face. "Where are you going?" She whispered as she hugged me. "California. I don't know how long I'll be gone mom. I just can't be here anymore," I sobbed. She nodded and let me pack my bag. I got my laptop out and bought a flight to San Diego. "Mom my flight takes off in 3 hours," I said bringing my bags downstairs. After an hour of talking to my mom, she drove me to the airport. "Lindsey wait," she shouted as I started to walk away. "Don't forget who you are out there," she hugged me. I wiped my tears away and said goodbye to my mom. I walked through security and went to my gate.

To: Lil Fox

Any chance you can pick me up from the SD Airport in four hours?

From: Lil Fox

I'll be there. I assume you'll tell me when you get here.

I texted Tanner Fox back and locked my phone. After a while of waiting my flight started boarding and I stuck my headphones in to drown out the rest of the world.
