Never, Everett

CHAPTER 4

REED

Blake was one of those 'what was I thinking' accidents a few months ago. I thought he got over it- his clingy thing after I broke up with him- then repeated multiple times that we were over. Then Jessie dragged be to the girl he liked parties. I didn't like parties. I much prefer to stay back and eat, sleep, and/or watch TV. Then Jessie guilt tripped me about ditching him for the soccer game which I spent being fucked by Everett. I didn't text Everett the entire week. Partially because I was busy with exams left, right, and center but also I was wondering if he's test first .I was still waiting. As sad as it was, I was beginning to think he got over me- went back to being straight. It was too bad because I was starting to miss him. And by that I meant I missed him throwing me around and fucking me breathless.

"Stop pouting." Jessie says when we get to the house. Does everyone live in mansions? This wasn't the castle type like last time but still- huge.

"Fuck you, i'm not pouting." I scoff, following him through the door.

"Yeah, you are." He laughs, gesturing to my face. I ignore him, looking around for an alcohol station or something. I found the alcohol in the kitchen, the door to the back patio open and the smell of pot filtering in. I grabbed a beer and headed outside to check it out.

"Shit- sorry." I freeze when a guy bumped into me, looking up into green eyes so much like Everett's. The guys looked a lot like Everett and for a second I was speechless.

"Are you related to Everett?" I ask before I can stop myself. He smiles and nods- no dimples like Everett.

"In Knox- you're friends with Rett?" He asks.

"Um, not really- you just look alike." I shrug in nonchalance.

"Yeah- we all kinda do." He laughs.

"How many are there?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Four boys, one girls." He smiles as my eyes widen.

"Wow." I had no idea he had so many siblings. From someone with little family, it was a mind blowing concept.

"See ya around, Reed- Madeline!" He calls over my shoulder, making his way around me. I suddenly regret not asking him if Everett is here or not. Harry and Viviana, two friends of mine, were in group of smokers.

"Reed- been a while." Viv smiles, clearly high. She hands me a bowl- holds it in front of my face.

"It's good." She says tauntingly. I take it from her, taking a hit.

"Dude, I can't believe you're here. You're never at parties." Jason- a hallmate walks over and leans on me, possibly drunk and high.

"Yeah, you're never here and you can hold a hit longer than anyone I know." Viv giggles.

"I'm gay, of course I can." I joke, all of them laughing.

"Did you see Blake?" Harry asks and it takes a while for me to completely wrap my head around his words.

"Is he here? Shit." I look around the group and don't see him, peeking through the window and searching for him.

"I saw him- fair warning. Is he still after you?" Viv asks me, trying to see into the house too.

"I don't know- I blocked his number and after I scared him in the hallway he hasn't come back to my dorm." I respond, squinting into the house. For a second I swear I see Everett but then again it might just be the brother. I bet the entire family as sexy like them. Although it's hard to beat Everett with the dimples and the sexy smirk he does.
