Loving Lies

Chapter 26

"Are you getting drunk or high there?" Tony asks me.

"No...." I say i response.

"Then why are you going?" He asks. I scoff and put my sandals on.

"Try not to get your drink spiked," Tony says as Loki and I walk out.

"Keep her safe," Steve tells Loki.

"I'll be safe other dad," I joke. Steve smiles and I say goodbye as we walk out.

"What's up Ray? Looking fine as ever," I greet and hug him. He laughs and hugs me back.

"Right back at ya," he says and pulls from me.

"So how far is this place?" I ask.

"Why don't you find out?" He asks opening the passenger car door. I roll my eyes and get in and Loki scoffs. He sits in the back seat and Ray starts the car. I look through the rearview mirror to see if Loki was comfortable. He was looking outside at the passing scenery.

His gaze turns to the mirror as well and he gives me a small smile. I return it and look outside. Was it possible to fall for him even more in such a short time? Maybe this time I'll be in a good relationship and love will workout for me....

*nother mini Timeskip*

"Finally god," I say and stretch my legs.

"It was just a 20 minute drive," Ray says.

"That's 20 minutes too long," I reply. Loki gets out and stands behind me and the three of us begin to walk to the house with blasting music.

"Still lazy as ever," Ray jokes as we approach. I scoff and hit him lightly.

"Watch what you do love. I may have to punish you," Loki whispers. I force down a blush and elbow him.

"So um what's everyone like?" I ask.

"Why don't you find out yourself?" He asks as we walk in. The part was a basic teen party. But the thing was were weren't teens, we're all adults. I could clearly tell who were the prostitute types and the "normal" types.

"Omg I need you to meet Taylor," Ray says pulling me. Ah his highschool crush.

"Enjoy yourself!" I scream to Loki as I'm being dragged.

"TayTay guess who this is!" Ray says as Taylor walks up to us.

"Oh my gosh (y/n) is that you?!" She asks. I nod with a smile and she hugs me. I hug back and wait for her to get off me cuz um personal space.

"So how's life?" I ask when she pulls out of the hug.

"Great! I'm getting engaged next week!" She says. Still so positive....

"Really? To who?" I ask.

"To this doofus!" She says and loops her arm through Ray.

"You sly motherfucker. You never told me!" I gasp. Ray shrugs with a lopsided grin.

"When'd he ask you out? How'd he propose?" I ask.

"I'll take my leave now," Ray says with embarrassment. Taylor kisses his cheek and Ray drowns into the crowd.

"So he asked me out freshman year of college and although his looks weren't all great his personality was amazing! In sophomore year of college I guess he got self conscious and started working out, eating healthy, making him look totally handsome! And for the proposal he proposed to me a week ago. It was so cute! So I was sitting and reading a book he recommended right? He was on the beanbag across me. So when the book ended there was a note and when I opened it it said 'they're story has finished but why don't we let ours begin? Marry me?' I started crying! Of course I said yes though," She sighs. Her eyes were so sparkly and her smile so bright....unlike mine.

"That's so sweet! I never pegged him to be like this! Like marrying you was his dream in highschool!" I tell her.

"Oh my gosh! Really?!" She squeals. She didn't know?

"Yeah of course, he wanted you to be his highschool sweetheart but he didn't think you'd like him," I say honestly.

"I need to talk with him now! Will you be fine if I leave?" She asks.

"Yeah I need to look for someone anyways," I shrug. She smiles and practically bounces away. Now where was Loki?

*mini Timeskip*
"Um excuse me have you seen a guy, this tall, green eyes, and black long hair, here anywhere?" I ask two girls who were chatting lightly. They seemed nice so I approached.

"Yeah he's getting his face sucked off by Penelope," One says, rolling her eye. He was....what? I gulp down the forming lump in my throat and smile. Penelope, the highschool slut....guess she hasn't changed either.

"Do you happen to know where?" I ask.

"They headed upstairs," the second girl says. I smile and turn to leave

"Hey girl," the first one says. I turn and look at her to continue.

"If he's your boyfriend dump his ass and join us ok?" She asks politely.

"I'll take in consideration," I say with a sweet smile. Honestly, I didn't know how I was smiling, because all I wanted to do was cry. I push past the people on the stairs and look till I find a locked door. Why was it locked? I freeze the doorknob and break it off.

When I lightly open the door I see Penelope pushing Loki into the bed and getting on top of him Loki looks at her attentively.

Why wasn't he pushing her away like he had done to me at first? Why did it take her less than an hour and me weeks? Why was he not stopping her. And most of all, why was I crying?

The rest of them were right....I shouldn't have fell for him
