Off Limits

chapter four

I woke up to the sound of pots and pans being thrown across the room. Well not quite exactly but that is what it sounded like. Amy was attempting to make breakfast for herself. And by attempting to make breakfast I mean she was making cereal. I got up and sat down in front of her, only then did I notice why she was struggling so much. The guys were scattered around the kitchen and were completely in her way. They were littered in every part of the kitchen. "Can you guys move for just a minute so I can get out of here" she exclaimed, while throwing a little fit. "What do you need Aims" I asked her weaving my way through the guys.

She was holding a bowl and a spoon when she turned to me and said "oh, I don't know! The food, perhaps" she said sarcastically tilting her head to the side. The guys just laughed at her remark and I got to the fridge opening the door to grab the milk.

'This is why she's pissed' I thought to myself as the milk carton was yanked from my hand and passed from jock to jock. I looked at Amy and shrugged. "Guys come on, the sooner she gets food the less danger you are all going to face" I said with a slight laugh in my voice.

I caught the carton just before it went to Andrew. I weaved my way back to Amy handing her the milk. Justin had walked by and gave her the fruit loops with a slight smile before heading outside. I went back to the fridge putting the milk away and grabbing a cup of yogurt. I sat with Amy as we ate outside on the pool chairs.

"What do you want to do today" I looked over to her for her response. "I think I should go home for a bit, I didn't get much sleep" she said.

"Okay sounds good to me, I'll see you for the camping in our backyard?" I asked her before she got up. She nodded her head yes before she went inside and left.

Later on, in the day, Blake came outside and sat down beside me as I was relaxing by the pool. "So, Drew said you are letting the guys camp over here for two nights. You know there will be a party one of those nights right or you know both nights" he chuckled as he looked at me.

"Yea, I know" I said repositioning myself in the chair.

"Well Drew wants to do it from Friday night to Sunday morning. Which is perfect cuz the Hardman's and our parents don't get back from their cruise until Monday night" Blake pretty much said to himself. "Also, you don't have to drink if you don't want too" he said turning to me.

"It's alright, Blake. I'll do whatever I feel comfortable doing" I told him honestly.

"The guys and I are going out, I don't know when we'll be back. You good on your own?" He said hesitantly. I said yes as he got up to leave.

I passed the time by watching Netflix and playing video games. I even relaxed in the hot tub for an hour or so as there wasn't much else to do. Only Blake, Justin, and Liam came home that night. The rest of the guys went to their respective homes.

Over the next few days I hadn't left my room except for the occasional 'I'm hungry, I got to get food' situations. Every time I went downstairs the three guys were playing video games and talking about girls in a very derogatory way. I used to comment on their obscure way of talking about girls but no matter what I said they would continue to talk the same way, if not worse at times. Despite that I still tried to tell them how their way of thinking wasn't right.

Justin wasn't that big of a player but he still had a bit of a reputation of going around. But he is the type to date a girl for a while and then eventually break up with them. He was not nearly as bad as my brother or Liam. I'm glad at least one of the guys were respectable. I was glad that he was the one Aims liked, at least he treated girls the best out of them all.

Then there was my brother, he had a few serious girlfriends in the past but he preferred not to be held back on the guys nights out by a girl. He always had a bet to see how many girls he could hook up with before the night ran out. I didn't really like that side of my brother. As a matter of fact, I hated that side of him and I told him how disgusting that was. But Blake was not the worst out of them all, Liam was.

Liam had a new girl under his shoulder pretty much every time I saw him. He was the kind to pump and dump. I shuddered under the thought. Sure, he was attractive but I don't know how girls get past his arrogant cocky attitude. He was notorious for never having dated anyone. Not that it mattered to me. Well at one point it mattered, but not anymore.

Once upon a time, I had a slight crush on Liam. And I mean slight. And every now and then he loves to mention that fact. That was until he started with his playboy ways and rude snide comments whenever my brother wasn't around. And thanks to him being a complete and total ass towards me; my crush, crashed and burned out within a few weeks. Thankfully.

But that was ages ago. This was before he grew to be cruel towards me, joining in on the three B's torment over me. Now, I just wanted to focus on school by getting good grades and getting into university.

Aims had just arrived to my place with bags in her arms.

"Jesus, Aims what the hell did you pack?" I said, rushing to her aid. Once I reached her I grabbed two of the bags and helped her carry it into the house. She muttered a thanks and followed me to my room. She peered out my window and got all excited "you set up our tent already" she exclaimed.

I looked at her beginning to reply when Liam walked into his bedroom. I rolled my eyes "Amy you know about my one rule! Keep my curtains closed, I don't want that meathead to look into my room" I said dramatically, as she shook her head and sighed. "And yes, Blake and I set up our tent" I said sitting down in my chair as Amy shut my curtains.

"You know" Amy began "never mind" she finished. I looked at her confused but I brushed it off. I got up and got a few blankets and pillows for outside. Aims grabbed what she needed and met me there.

Our tent was one of five in the backyard. It was spacious and very comfy. If we wanted to we could zip off the top to look at the stars. The sun was beginning to set and people were beginning to arrive. I was already ready for the evening. I lightly did my makeup but who was I kidding? There was no one here I wanted to impress. I was sitting by the edge of the pool, feet dangling in the pool when I became paralyzed.

I wasn't planning on drinking but when I saw the three B's walk into my backyard, I knew I needed something to get me through the night. It was going to be two nights and three days of this, what did I get myself into I questioned. Aims suggested we keep our swimsuits underneath our clothes and just change in the tent when we wanted too. That was what the plan was.

Ever since the three B's came in I was stuck. I no longer wanted to be there but I knew that aims wanted to stay. I just needed to be mentally ready for the night. I took a deep breath and went to grab a drink. As soon as I reached for a red solo cup, my wrist was caught. I followed the arm up to see my brother glaring down at me.

"What" I questioned him. He gave me a 'what do you think you're doing look' to which I replied "making myself a drink, duh?" By the look on his face he didn't seem happy with my response but then Kyle, one of the guys on the football team yelled "incoming" catching my brother's attention long enough for me to grab one of the bottles, two cups and a pop. By the time he turned around I was gone and Kyle had done a front flip into the pool, splashing a few people at the edge of the pool.

I sat in one of the pool chairs and poured Amy and myself a drink. I looked at the bottle that I took and read the label "rum" I nodded to myself "good thing I grabbed a coke" I mumbled. Amy sat down next to me. She looked at the bottle and then at me giving off an 'are you okay' vibe. Being the idiot, I am I took a gulp right from the bottle, immediately regretting my decision and taking a sip of the drink I had meant to finish first.

That was when a freshly pedicured pair of feet stopped right in front of me. Followed by two others.

'Great, just great' I thought to myself. I slowly looked up knowing I was about to dread the entire encounter with the three B's: Bianca, Brittney, and the worst of the three ... "Hi Brynn" I said sighing through my breath.

And I immediately regretted it.
