Rollercoaster

Grant rang the doorbell and

Mrs. Lawrence came to the door.

"Hi there Grant. It's so good to see you Bethany! It's been forever!" She pulled me into a hug where I just awkwardly stood there.

She let go and told us everyone was in the back.

Grant and I walked through the big house and into the backyard, hand in hand. I squeezed his hand hard when I saw Mike laughing, his face lit by the giant fire that was crackling in the center of the huge yard.

Man, everything here was huge.

"Hey dude!" Mike called to Grant calling him over. He looked back at me to make sure it was okay he left and I nodded and he jogged off to go play some football with Mike and some other guys.

It was okay because my girl friends were there and they called me over to talk.

The boys played football for about an hour until Cameron got hurt and had to get ice for his face. Me and my friends talked about our boyfriends and shopping and some other crazy stuff. Finally we all came together and got seats around the bonfire.

Grant sat near Cameron and Jack and I sat across from him with Leah, Emma, and Carly. Mike sat with his girlfriend who can I say was a total typical cheerleader. Her name was Hannah and she was the head cheerleader at school. She had long blonde hair, blue eyes, a wide smile, she wore very revealing clothes, and no offense, she was dumb.

So Hannah decided it was a great Idea to play truth or dare. And everyone agreed, well except for me.

We played a couple simple rounds, stuff like who we liked and to Twerk up to the fire. But then it got into things like first kiss, last kiss, if we were a virgin. I managed to stay out of most of the bad ones and stuck to truth. Grant seemed to be having fun but I wasn't really.

"Alright this will be a good one. Grant, truth or dare?" Mike asked with a smirk on his face.

"Um truth? Why not." Grant said wiping his hands on his shorts.

"Truth alright...oh how about this. Who did you lose your virginity to because we all know you did it already. And it sure as he'll wasn't little miss goody goody over her." He looked at me and I just looked over at Grant.

I knew he lost his virginity, I mean he's gorgeous and I wasn't his only girlfriend. We had talked about it but not who. And now I was curious.

He looked into the fire, avoiding my eyes,"Umm let me think....it was awhile ago..oh yeah it was Katherine Burns."

My heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach, Katherine was one of my best friends. I could see Grant looking at my from the corner of my eye but I didn't want to look at him.

After Grant a few more people went and then someone did it for Mike.

"Okay Mike, truth or dare?" Brent said.

"Dare obviously." He said putting his arm around Hannah.

Brent looked at me but I didn't see it,"I dare you to make out with Bethany, with tongue."

I got a sick feeling in my stomach like I was going to throw up.

"Done." Mike got up and walked over to me.

My eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head.

Mike leaned down and stuck his mouth on mine sticking his tongue down my throat. I tried to push him off but his hands were clamped on my face.

"Dude get the fuck off my girlfriend!" I heard Grant say and he ran over pushing Mike off of me with a huge force. Mike got up from the grass and punched Grant in his right cheek.

"Oh my god Grant!" I screamed going to help him but he was up and ready for more before I got to him.

Grant balled his fist and slammed Mike right on the side of his face, causing him to stumble close to the fire and burn his hand.

At this point Mrs. Lawrence ran out and got in between them,"WHAT IS GOING ON!" She said pulling Mike off the ground.

"Nothing Mrs. L. We were just leaving." Grant said taking my hand and we walked out to his car.

"I'm taking you home." He said turning on the car and pulling out of the driveway.

"Okay fine, but your coming in, your lip is bleeding really badly."

He took a hand off the wheel and touched his lip were he was been hit, and looked at the blood that was staining his skin.

When we got to my house I pulled Grant into the kitchen and called for my mom.

"MOM! Come her fast! Grants hurt!"

I heard footsteps pounding down the stairs and my mom darted into the room a panicked look on her face.

"What happened?" She asked pulling a first aid kit out of one of the drawers,"clean your lip first."

Grant went to the sink and rinsed his lip, the blood going down the drain. He came back over and sat down at the table.

My mom started to work on his face. She was a nurse so it was good.

"Do I need to repeat myself Bethany? What happened?" She said putting some cream on his cut.

I looked at my hands,"Just a game of truth or dare gon wrong."

I hated lying to my mom but she didn't know about my previous experience with Mike and I didn't want her to worry.
