Are They Real? (Not complete)

Chapter 1

**Three days before**

"Your turning 21 in a few days!" Lilly exclaimed. I roll my eyes "yeah yeah". I wave my hand shooing her away. She quickly steps in front of me "we are totally having a party". I let out a laugh "yeah totally" I say sarcastically. Lilly rolls her eyes at me "come on". I shake my head "no". She's pouts "please... pretty please". Again I shake my head and turn down my street. She follows "fine not a big party but like a little get together at a bar". I raise my eyebrow "will I be paying?" She laughs "of course you would-" she pauses and taps her chin. "Wait will you go if I pay"? I nod my head. A big smile covers her face "Okay great! I'll pay for everything". We stop in front of our apartment "three at max". The look of annoyed rested on her face "no! It's going to be like five or more". I smile "Okay fine then what bar?" I unlock the door and we walk in. It was completely trashed "bro are you serious? I leave for only a week and you trash the place". She gives a weak smile "I was gonna clean but then I had to pick you up. I glare at her "you got me in a uber". She starts to pick up the bottles and cans "hey at least I got you and Kyle was totally into you". I raise an eyebrow "Kyle?"

"Yeah you know the hot uber driver". I let out a laugh "he's is attractive but nah". I grab a trash bag and hold it open for her "last time I went with you about that stuff.... didn't turn out well". She nods her head but then quickly stands up "but he's different and he has a dog named sandy who's a golden retriever. He has three sisters which one has cancer".

"Wow you amaze me". She looks at me "why?" I let out another laugh "because you were able to get all of the out of him in a ten minute drive". Lilly sets the trash bag to the side "for goodness sakes! He works with you!" I look at her confused "which job?"

"Anderson's" she blandly said. I smile "wait really?" Lilly gives a small laugh "yeah why". My smile gets bigger "that's Kyle from Andersons?" She also starts to smile "yeah, yeah he is!" I smile like an idiot " like oh my god I'm like totally into him". Her smile fades and turns into death glare. "Hey, what's that look for?" I let out a laugh. We tie up the trash bag and grab another " you know why". I again hold it open as she puts garbage into it. Her face slowly turns into a frown " I didn't mean to have it happen like that". I give her a smile " it was his fault not yours". She looks up at me " but I set it all up and-". I shoo away her words "nonsense". We tie up that trash bag. I plop down on the couch hear a large groan. I quickly get up but I trip over my feet making me fall to the ground. Lilly moves the blanket to show a guy laying on the couch. Her eyes widen "I told you to leave this morning!"she exclaimed loudly. He chuckles "I was but your couch was so comfortable". He looks at me " hey" winking at me. I glare at him "get out" I say pointing towards the door. Lilly try's to pull him off the couch but he pulls her making her fall on top of him. They stayed like that until I let out a large groan and threw a empty water bottle at them. Lilly quickly got up and cleared her throat "you should be leaving". He gets up "if I make pancakes can I stay?" I give a shrug "sure... But no love-y dove-y crap". He got up and walked to the kitchen "Okay fine". Lilly helps me up and we follow him into the kitchen. I see him grab bisquick and a pan. I look at him then Lilly then back to him.

"Who are you?" Lilly was about to say something but he beat her to it " Lilly's boyfriend". Her eyes widen "when did that happen?!" He looks at her confused "well we've been you know and I've basically been staying here all week. Sooooo I thought you and me were a-". She starts waving her hands in the air "Okay stop. Stop! She doesn't need to know all the details". I laugh "ooh is something embarrassed?" I say laughing and poking her. Her face turns bright red. I look at him "oh yeah who are you. Like your name dude". He puts a spoonful of the mix into the pan "Jake". He gives a smile to Lilly and I roll my eyes.

He took a shower then left kissing Lilly goodbye "see ya later". She smiles "yeah". He leaves and Lilly plops down onto the couch and lets out a sigh. I sit next to her "is Juliet sad because her Romeo left?" I laugh and she smacks me.
