Consequences

Emerson

"Where were you yesterday? Like you disappeared halfway through the night..." I asked Eve. I was Facetiming her with I folded my laundry. Eve didn't answer me. I looked up from the pair of pants I just folded to see her frozen. "Eve?" I asked, thinking that I had lost connection.

"Y-Yeah?" She choked. I gave her a confused look.

"What's going on? You're acting strange." I asked her. She smiled, and shook her head.

"Nothing. Sorry, what did you ask?" She said.

"What happened to you yesterday night?" I asked her once more. She looks to the side and bit her bottom lip.

"Nothing I just went home." She said. I let out a gasp. She lied to me. The lip bite is her tell.

"You're lying to me." I said. Her eyes widened, knowing I caught her and she shook her head rapidly.

"It's nothing really. I promise." She said quickly.

"Its something if you have to hide it from me..." I murmured. She rolled her eyes and let out a heavy sigh.

"Fine... I...May or may not have hooked up with someone." She said in almost a whisper. I let outa shriek and threw my hands in the air.

"Oh my god! Who?" I screamed. She looked down and blushed.

"Just some guy..." She said.

"No... If it was just some guy you wouldn't be blushing and acting so strange... Who was it?" I asked her again.

"Emerson. Leave it... Ill tell you his name when I know how serious this is..." She told me. I roll my eyes.

"Oh okay Eve." I continued folding laundry. "Listen, I am going to go. I have some last minute errands to run." I told her. She rolled her eyes at me and hung up without a goodbye. Suddenly, Ethan bursts into my room.

"What's with all the screaming and yelling?" He asked, out of breath.

"It was just Eve..." I told him. He nods his head.

"Oh... And, uh, what were you guys talking about?" He asked me. I shrugged.

"Not a lot, she was just telling me about her weekend." I tell him. 

"What did she say?" He pursued. I gave him a weird look.

"What do you care?" I asked him, halting my folding duties.

"I don't... I am just curious..." He said. I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time.

"God, all she said was that she hooked up with some guy and she won't tell me who. She wants to see where it all goes before she tells me the name." I told him. His shoulders relaxed a bit before he nodded his head.

"Okay. Well don't be so hard on her. I'm sure she is just confused." With that, Ethan backed out of my room and shut the door.

She isn't the only one confused...

"Emerson! Get up!" Ethan screeched from our bathroom. I rolled over and grabbed my phone looking at the time. 7:45.

"Shit!" I screamed and jumped out of bed. "Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" I yelled at him. He doesn't answer me, he just laughed. I groan and pull out a pair of ripped blue skinny jeans and a cropped polo tee. I slipped it on, threw my hair in a messy pony tail and rushed over to my closet.

I pulled out my white converse and slipped those on as well. I ran into the bathroom, speeding brushing my teeth. Ethan was already down, in the car, when I ran out the door. I jumped in and we sped off down the road.
