Chapter Eight: Plus One

***

Deliah's POV:

Well guess how I planned to wake up Friday morning. Here's a hint: not on my bathroom floor covered in blood in Keanu Collins's jersey which by the way is also now covered in blood.

I groan and stand holding my hand to my head, trying to ease my massive headache. I look at the time and see I still have 45 minutes untill Damon comes to pick me up. I take off Keanu's jersey and put it in the sink. Then I take out the familiar green bottle out of ny cabinet, a mixture that'll help take out the blood. After that I run myself q bath while mopping up the blood on the floor. From personal past experiences I do not want to be near a shower right now.

After I'm done mopping I strip out of my clothes and climb into the bubbly water. I dip my foot into the warm water and watch it disappear under the white foam. I sink further into the water until I'm laying on my back, the water reaching my chin. I just lay in the water for about 10 minutes then start scrubbing me clean.

When I'm sure I'm squeaky clean and blood free, I step out of the bath,wrap my towel around my wet body and go into my room. I couldn't help looking at the red, angry cuts printed on my wrists. I ignore them and quickly put on a pair of black leggins and an oversized sweater that said Why tho?.

Beep beep.

Seriously, Damon? I told him to never honk outside of my house. I'm way too scared that my dad's gonna go outside. I quickly lock the door and run outside to Damon's car.

"What did I tell you about honking?" I yell at him and slap him behind the head.

"Sorry chicka but you were taking too long. So, about that blonde bimbo..." He starts as we drive to school.

The rest of the day was pretty normal. Nothing interesting happened except for me almost choking on my salad at lunch.But I have a feeling something pretty interesting is going to happen because I just recieved a text from Damon.

Gonna pick you up at 8. Dress nicely pwease! Bring your key (J4I)

That means I have 5 minutes to change since he already saw me in this outfit and decided that it wasn't "nice" enough.

I went upstairs and changed into a pair of dark blue, ripped jeans and a black V-neck, long sleeved of course. I make sure my hair is alright then lock my room and exit the house. Two minutes later Damon arrives in a car that I don't recognize. Wait. Damon isn't even in the car.

I walk closer to get a better look and recognize Armando, Keanu and another player from the team.

"Hey, partner! We're here to pick you up." Armando smiles from the passenger seat and I just raise my eyebrow.

"Don't worry. We're not going to kidnap you. Damon sent us." Keanu speaks up from the backseat and then opens the door for me. I stare at it for a moment then decide to enter. The unknown dude starts the car and drives off. We're not even out of my street when I feel a warm hand on my thigh. It sends sparks through my whole body and fires up my leg.

"What are you doing, Collins?" I ask him.

"Nothing." He says getting closer. We have another one of those eye-staring competitions except this time he doesn't look away, he comes closer and whispers in my ear. "By the way, what your wearing? So sexy."

"I know" I reply now looking at him, his face inches apart from mine.

"Cocky are we?"

"Not more than you."
