Shadowed (z.m)

11.

"So, I was thinking since, for once, mum and dad are gone I could have some friends over. Like a sleepover, so if you could just disappear for the night that would be awesome." Chrissy rambled, shoveling cereal into her mouth as she texted.

"What? No way. I know you're gonna invite some boy." I scoffed, sipping my tea, looking at her in disbelief. Just because I'm irresponsible doesn't mean going to let her be irresponsible.

"Okay then, how old am I?" She put her phone down on the table, looking at me. I thought she was joking until I saw the serious expression on her face.

"Like what, 15?" I tried keeping the situation light but she still wore a stone cold expression.

"And how old were you when you started fooling around boys, getting drunk and losing your virginity?" She was smug as hell the little cockroach. I glared at her as she so kindly pointed out my mistakes at her age.

"Fine but how am I supposed to not be here during the night? I'm not staying at Drews. His folks hate me." I sighed miserably. Of course most parents also knew of my bad reputation which was everything but calming. The parents were almost better at reminding me of what a slut I was than what their children were. Lacking close friends fucking sucked.

"I don't know. Why don't you ask prince charming, he seemed quite keen on you last night?" Chris wiggled her eyebrows, giving me a suggestive look.

"Please, if I asked to stay with him I'd probably get used in my sleep." I slapped her lightly around the head for even suggesting me staying with him.

"What's with you two anyway? Like, it's been a shit load of time since everything and you're still hot for each other." Even though she was only joking her words made my blood boil. I was certainly not hot for him. Nor had I been for two years.

"Chris, get your facts straight." I snapped, pouring the rest of my tea out in the sink. I wouldn't say that I stormed out of the kitchen but I certainly didn't stroll calmly. Out of my pocket I got my phone, trying to find someone I could stay with tonight. Adelaide was a possibility though she was most likely going to some party tonight. But maybe I could join her and find Liam? Or I could just text him? No, I didn't know him well enough to stay at his place. And Mr. Asshole was not an option not to mention he's probably with his girlfriend tonight. Yet I couldn't help myself but think of last night. What was that side of him and when did it appear? And as much as I would never admit it aloud I didn't hate that side of him as much.

But thinking about him wouldn't get me anywhere. I still didn't have anywhere to stay tonight. I can't believe my little sister is kicking me out of my own home. Bitch, I thought to myself. If she does anything stupid I swear to god I'll murder her.

Going with the only option I had I texted Adelaide asking if she wanted to hang out tonight. Getting a reply almost immediatly with a yes in all caps. What am I even doing?

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow not too late. And if I find you naked in some fifteen year old fuckboys arms I will personally make sure that mum and dad never leave you alone again." Chris rolled her eyes at my threat. She thinks I'm not serious...

"Yeah yeah, I know the drill." She sighed, practically pushing me out of the door. Giving in I bid her good bye walking over to Adelaide's car that was waiting for me. As soon as I got into the passenger seat a squeal erupted from her.

"Okay so I got us invited to the party of the summer! I am beyond excited and so should you be. Everyone who's anyone will be there so make sure you look perfect." The high pitch of her voice and pink sparkly nails made me question why I was even friends with this chick. "Are you up for an all nighter?" She grinned, running her fingers through her hair before starting the car.
