Everything Has Changed

Chapter Four

"I know you lied. So tell me how you know him." he says. I don't know why I'm bugging out, I have nothing to be worried about. Tristen was an ex while Dallas is my future, I have nothing to be worried about.

I stare him in his eyes and he looks back at me. I slump down and cross my legs and look at him.

"Tristen was my boyfriend a few years ago." I say.

He looks stunned and taken back. He furrows his eyebrows and doesn't know what to say.

"Explain." he says.

"Well, around my freshman year, I started acting out. That was when things got bad with Cyndi and Darren and Elaine were never home. Well, I first met him at the library but that was when his friends were messing with me and he told them to back off. Then we met again when I snuck into this college party. I was drinking with some dudes and he was one of them and then we started hanging out. Just going to parties, drinking, just getting into trouble." I say. "It was a rough time but he was the only thing getting my mind off of everything around me."

"Why'd you guys break up?" he asks.

"Something big happened and he had to leave. He didn't know when he was coming back so we broke up. I never heard from him after that. He never called." I say cocking my eyebrow.

"Oh. How close were you guys?"

"Pretty close." I say.

He nods and lies down. I don't know what to do so I just stare at him. Why did his mood change? I mean he asked me about Tristen, I didn't voluntarily tell him.

"I'm going to bed." he says.

"Dallas are you upset with me?" I ask.

"I'm tired." he simply says.

"Please talk to me. Look I'm sorry but I'm not seeing what's the problem right now." I say. "You asked my questions and I answered them. What's wrong?"

"There isn't a problem." he says. "I'm just tried."

I huff and stand up. I walk to my closet and change. I put on some jeans, an American flag shirt and a black jacket with red vans. I run my fingers through my hair and then peek out. Dallas is sleep and facing the other way. I speed out of my room and downstairs.

Everyone is in the kitchen, I sneak out the house and go out for a walk. I speed and run out of town. I end up at Lineville, a town about 15 minutes away from our town. This is the best college party town in Virginia. Parties everywhere, intoxicated teens, stupid decisions. Perfect.

I was walking down a road when someone came up behind me. They pulled over and rolled the passenger seat window down.

"Hey do you need a ride?" a males voice says.

I smile and face him. He was a handsome kid. He kind of looked like a rich boy who went to the golf club with his dad on the weekends. Well how sweet.

"Um yeah thanks." I say.

He opens the door and I get in and close the door behind me. The boy holds his hand out for me to shake, and I do.

"I'm Nick." he says. Most likely short for Nicholas.

"Olivia." I say.

"Well Olivia, where are you headed?" he asks.

"Anywhere. I just want to do something fun tonight." I say.

"Well, I was heading to my friend's party. Would you wanna go?" he asks.

"Let's do it." I say.

He smiles and takes off driving down the road. The house was not even five minutes away from where I was.

"So Olivia, have you ever been to a college party?" he asks getting out the car.

"Yes I have." I say following behind him.

"Well you haven't been to one like this, so be prepared." he says smirking at me.

I nod and we start walking up to the house. There is cups everywhere, bottles, teenagers making out on the lawn. You can even hear the music blaring all the way outside. This is gonna be a good party. We walk in and I follow Nick to a group of guys. There was about six of them and one familiar face.

"Liv?" he says.

"Beau!" I yell.

Well isn't this just fucking great! What the hell is he doing here?!

**Dallas' POV**

"Liv come out the bathroom." I say still laying on the mattress.

She doesn't answer me. She's been in there for like ten minutes now.

"Look I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that to you." I say sitting up. "Please come out so we can talk."

I see the bathroom door open and no one in there. Liv is nowhere in this room. I get up and walk downstairs and see everyone is in the kitchen. I go in there and they all look at me.

"Hey there." Darren says.

"Where's Liv?" I ask.

"What do you mean, where's Liv?" Miranda says standing up.

"She's not upstairs. Not in the bathroom or in her closet." I say.

"You lost my daughter!" she yells.

"No! She must have snuck out." I say.

"Let's go find her." Darren says.

We all nod and I go change. Everybody gets in there cars, Kellin and Darren together and Miranda and Tristen. I go on my own and drive and look all around. Please don't be in any trouble!
