Chapter 22

"So you've sorted things out?" Alexa sat opposite me in the booth of Starbucks.

"Yeah. I think he's going to make a good friend of me. I need someone like him when you're busy with Christian." I winked.

"You know I saw something last night."

"What?" I asked.

"It was Logan. He was with that Lily girl last night. Liam didn't seem to notice."

"What were they doing?"

"I don't know. Just dancing. Drinking. But Liam chose to be with you the whole time instead of his girlfriend."

"K shut up, he's coming." I watched Liam walk towards us from the bathroom.

He sat down next to me and took a sip from his coffee.

"I have a massive hang over." He said.

"Me too. We're mad to be up at 9am."

"So let's go home." Alexa looked at me. She sounded annoyed at the fact Liam and I were friends now.

"You can go." He said.

This blew her off a little.

"Why don't you?" She eye rolled him.

"Because I don't want to." He stated.

"Guys what the fuck?" I laughed.

Liam smiled and put his arm around my shoulders.

"If Cameron walked in here you'd he in huge shit." Alexa said softly but strongly.

I just looked back at her. No words to say.

"Oh fuck." I cuffed my hands over my head.
"We've got that book assignment to do still."

"Eh." Alexa sat back, now relaxed. "Got the day before school to do that."

Liam chuckled a bit.

I wasn't too impressed.

"My mom said yes!"

"Ow Alexa. You can't scream over the phone. It hurts my ear." I complained as I moved my phone away from my head.

I looked at Liam who was sitting laying on the bed next to me.
He was smiling as always.
A cute grin on his face.
One I can't describe.
You need to see it.

"I'm sorry but my mom said I'm going on holiday with you in August. Long time away." She was excited from the other end of the phone.

"Oh fuck! Yay!!!" I said.

She hung up the phone.
Guess that's the end of that conversation.

"K let's watch now." Liam pulled me down and we shared a pillow and blanket on his bed.
He had a single bed so it was a tight squeeze but we were comfortable.

"They're just annoying me so much. I can't go anywhere without them." Alexa fiddled with the pipes in her nose as tears ran down her eyes.
"And they're attached to this big fucking thing that I've gotta lug around all day."
