A "Train-full" of Desires

Chapter 8

We made sweet love in the backseat where no one could see us. I somehow woke up and I had no idea what time it is. The house was still lit up and music blared from the rooftop. Groaning, I looked at my phone to see the time and the only thing that was popping up was messages from my family. Missed calls were in the double digits. The time was, wait, 3:45am!!!

I freaked out.

I jumped over the tailgate and immediately called my mother. But wait, shit, she's probably asleep. But if I don't call then she'll send police forces from 30 different counties to find me so I just waited to see if she answered because if she didn't I'll just leave a message and say.....shit I don't exactly have an excuse.

'Hey it's Corrie, I'm sorry I cannot answer my phone right now but if you leave a message and phone number then I will be sure to get back to you' Beep

I sighed. She didn't answer. That's a first but I left a message, "Hey mom. I'm so sorry I didn't call I was at Jacob's playing video games and then we started a movie and we both passed out. I had my phone on silent and I just now woke up. I'm really sorry but call me back when you wake up. I love you." and with that I hung up the phone and made my way back towards the truck. Absorbing my surroundings I realize that 1/3 of the cars have left but many still remain.

Jacob was still asleep when I came back. I wonder, where's Kyle? Grabbing my jacket I leave the sleeping boy behind and make my way towards the house. I walk into the house.

Bodies everywhere!! Not dead though. Everyone is passed out drunk. Even Austin.....that fucking  idiot. Probably drank himself into a coma because none of the girls wanted to hook up with him. I make my way through the house avoiding stepping on people. The place reeks of beer and other things, people must've brought drugs.

I didn't see Kyle anywhere. Even traveling upstairs some rooms had doors open with sleeping people on the beds. Other rooms were locked shut with moans and banging noises coming from the other side. The bathroom had 2 girls, one throwing up and the other holding her hair back when scrolling through her phone. I knew them too, it was Lauren and Madison, sophomores, I never really thought of those 2 as the party type though. They always were reading. But I shrugged and finished checking the place before stopping in the kitchen for another drink of water. Where the hell is Kyle?

"Well I didn't know you were still here."

Oh dear god, "I didn't think you would still be here either." I turned to come face to face with Keighly.

'Hey Dylan" Ugh, "Where's Kyle?" She brushed past me and went searching through the kitchen for food most likely. "He's outback sleeping with me in Stot's hammock."

"Good to see you've already got another victim. Are you and him a thing?" I had to ask, it was beginning to bother me.

She looked over her shoulder at me and smiled, "We have a relationship. But....not the kind you are thinking of. We are more.....brother/sister type relationship."

I nodded my head, it makes sense. "What about you and Jacob?" 

I froze, "What?"

She rolled her eyes, "Of course he didn't ask" she grumbled under her breath.

"Explain Keighly." Her cocky attitude was a waste of my time that I didn't want to tolerate much longer. She clearly knows about me and Jacob but why does it matter? Should I tell her it's true?

She didn't say anything. Just gave her 5-star devil's grin and walked out with 2 water bottles in hand and a bag of goldfish.

Out the door vanishing into the darkness she called back "Maybe next time if you guys hook up you should be more quiet."

Quiet? What does she-? Oh no? Did everyone hear us? I was left dumbfounded while also fearing for my life.....
