My Own Fame (Sequel to 'The Trap')

Dylan's POV Chapter 3

The next three chapters will be about the same night, in all three perspectives. My hope is that by the time you've read all three versions, you'll be able to piece together what happened the night Dylan, Lily and Holly went to the bar with some surprising guests. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was talking to my girl, when all of a sudden I got a text from Sydney. She was reminding me of our plans tonight. I went ahead and invited Bridget, my girl, to join us, but she wouldn't budge. However, she promised me that soon she would take me up on my offer. 

Then I ordered an uber before changing and going on a massive hunt for Lily. I'm so glad that we have our own private hallway. I would've gone mad if my sisters and I didn't have this extra space or worse, to still reside in the main house. Mom likes to say that she built it to keep me here, but honestly, I wasn't going anywhere. This is my home and when Dad's gone on business trips, I am the man of this estate. I love my role and my control equally!

My thoughts were interrupted by Lily's voice coming from the kitchen. She could spend hours talking to our parents and we needed to go.

"Okay come on Lily, our uber awaits. Parents, let's make this fast. Yes, we'll be good, we know the rules and we'll remind Holly of them too. But when does she ever listen to rules? You know she'll just find a loophole. We'll tip big and we'll get home at a decent hour. And yes, we'll tell Syd that you love her, miss her and want to see her soon. We love you too."

They were taken aback, but it's the same damn speech every time we leave to go anywhere but especially when we go see Sydney. After so many bloody hugs, I yanked the front door open for Lily and we rushed out. Mum and Dad followed us out and saw us off. I barely had time to tell the driver where to go before Lily started talking my ear off. I was answering her to make her happy, but I wasn't listening until she said something interesting. She had invited our parents without my permission. I was about to text Holly about our guests but then Lily explained herself.

"Holly has been really sneaky recently and I know we want to know what she's hiding from us. I thought Dad could scare her and Mom could try to keep the peace between them."

"Okay so how would Dad scare the truth out of her?"

"Well first we don't tell her, then he walks up behind her and we ask her why she was a perfect teen and why she went back to her sassy self after she turned eighteen. Then Dad could say her name and then she'd be forced to come clean to all of us."

"I like the way you think, Lil."

"Thanks, me too." 

"But remember this is Holly that we're talking about. She may find a way around the question."

"Yeah maybe, but I'm willing to take that chance."

I was impressed by Lily's plan, but I wasn't going to bust her bubble by informing her that her plan had too many holes in it. However she gave this more thought than I ever did. I'm going to bring Sydney into this plan because she usually has good ideas and could help us fill up the holes. I'm just thankful that Lily didn't tell our parents her entire plan. She has a problem with telling them everything though. That's one of the reasons why we didn't make a good team. She would tell them our plan and we would get into trouble before we could leave the bloody house. Lily's very honest and lying isn't her forte, but it's still shocking to me when she wanted to try to live the rebel lifestyle. 

Suddenly, the car came to a halt. I glanced up to see that we finally had arrived at our favorite bar and there stood our target, I mean sister, waiting for us. So I paid the driver, opened the door and suddenly Lily ran past me and straight for Hol. I walked up to the duo. After I hugged our target, I wanted to hurry inside because I'm not sure when our parents would show up, if they will. The girls can talk for a while, but I don't know how much time we really had, to be completely honest.
