Callie

"Hey losers!" I walk into the house and Tagg looks up from his hand that's on his bloody lip that he sucks in.

"Don't take the HEAT!" Nick ruffles Taggs hair.

"Is that why your nose is bleeding?" Tagg raises an eyebrow.

"Is thats why your lip is bleeding?" Nick raises his eyebrow back.

"That makes no sen-"

"What are you two fighting about?" I set my bag down.

Nick laughs. "Tagg got his ass beat"

"NO! YOU GOT YOUR ASS BEAT, FUCKER!" Tagg smacks him and I laugh. "You're off early?"

I sit down and blush.

"Oooooh, Peter comes home today" Nick gets the hint.

"So, you're telling me that you happy ass is driving an hour to Alabama to see this dude?" Tagg raises an eyebrow.

"No, he's coming down here and I'm showing him around! Don't be rude, Taggle" I cross my arms and he puts his hands up in defeat.

"I can show him around-"

"You guys aren't going. And, clean the blood from your nose" I tell Nick and he pouts.

"We don't wanna see the fool anyways" Tagg stands up, throwing his chair and storming to his room.

What's wrong with him? He never acts out...

I push my eyebrows together in confusion and Nick laughs as he wipes his bloody nose. "He has a mega crush on you, Callie"

I shake my head. "No, he doesn't, Nick. Plus, he knows I like Peter!! We're best friends! Since second grade! Never had feelings for each other"

"Dude!! He's always all over you!! He probably never realized he had a crush on you until you want talking about this other dude! Newsflash, if a dude likes you, he's gonna act out when you talk about liking someone else! He never acts out, you know that! He likes you!" he groans.

"He doesn't. He just doesn't like Peter because of the way we met" I pick up my bag.

"Are you really gonna do that?" he stops me and I look at him. "It's your feelings, yeah, I know, but, you're gonna sit by and fall in love while your best friend has liked you since you were seven? If you're gonna do that to him, stop being friends"

I laugh. "Nick! You're being so dramatic!!"

"I'm not!! Am I ever serious? No!! But I am now!! You two are both my bestest friends and I want you both to be happy! But happy together" he tugs his lips to the side.

"Who are you? An inspirational talker?" I laugh. "Dude, I love you, you're my best friend, but leave it. I'll see you in a few hours. I love you" I say, sighing before leaving the house.

My phone goes off and see that Peter finally hit Georgia.

"Callie!" Peter runs to me and hugs me.

"Hey!! It's so good to see you again!!" I squeal.

"You too!! Your face looks better!!" he exclaims and I look at him. "I mean as in the cuts!"

"Oh, yeah! Thanks!" I laugh.

"You look adorable, Callie" he smiles and I blush. "And I love your rosy red cheeks!!"

I smile once more. "Sooo, wanna see the rough parts of Georgia?"

We burst out laughing and he nods.

We get in my car and he picks up something. "Why do you have a picture of Tagg and Nick in your car?" he asks, holding up their senior pictures.

I look at him. "You've never kept your best friends senior pictures?" I ask and he raises an eyebrow, shaking his head. "Well, I do. We all have them"

"So, your only friends are dudes?" he asks.

I make a so so movement with my hand. "Mainly, but I am friends with Tagg's two girl cousins and this girl we met in Russia! Jessica!"

"And you've never had feelings for Tagg or Nick?" he tilts his head and I shake my head. "Oh okay"

"First off, our snow cone shop!! It's so good!!" I lick my lips and he laughs.

"You're adorable, Callie" he says, making me blush.

"Thank you, you too!!" I drive.

He smiles.

Ah fuck, I like this guy.

"I'M GONNA KICK YOUR MOTHER FUCKING ASS, NICOLAS! DON'T THINK I WON'T, YOU BITCH!" we hear Tagg from outside.

"Are they always this loud?" Peter laughs.

I turn to him. "Always. They always fight, but, usually Tagg is the good one... so I don't know what got into him today"

"I still can't believe you're apart of the Archer family" he says and I shrug.

We walk into the house and Nick and Tagg look at us.

"Douchebag is here" Nick laughs.

"Hey bubba!" I smile.

"Hey, love" Tagg walks over, kissing my head.

He stands way taller than Peter who's five eleven.

"I'm Peter" Peter speaks up.

"I know" Tagg says sternly.

"And we don't like you" Nick laughs and Tagg raises his eyebrows.

"Wow. I wanted you to meet my boyfriend and you-

"YOU'RE DATING?!" Tagg and Nick drop their jaws.

"We really like each other" Peter looks down at me.

I clench my jaw. "Yeah" I look into the eyes of Tagg.

I know Tagg. And I know every meaning in his eyes.

He's upset.

Not angry..., but sad.

"I'm gonna uh... head home" Peter turns to me. "See you tomorrow?"

"I'll see you" I fake a smile.

He waves to the guys before leaving the house.

"I'm happy for you, Cal" Tagg fake smiles as he pulls me into his chest. "I love you, and I want you to be happy"

"So you like him?" I look up at him.

"Yeah" he tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear. "He's gonna be good for you"

I tug my lips to the side. "If you're sure"

"We're all always gonna be best friends right?" Nick questions with a little frown.

Tagg and I pull him into our hug.

Something feels so, so wrong.
