It All Started With A One Night Stand

Telling the Truth

Of course I went to the party because I really did not want to see what Nathan would do if he had to follow through with his threat. However I knew in my heart that I wished that I didn't go the party and would rather have dealt with his punishment. I continued to look out the window while reminiscing and realized that I already got to my stop. I quickly left the bus and walked home. I just really hope that Victoria wasn't home because I was not ready to tell her what happened, but from hearing her music blasting from the kitchen I knew that yet again my luck failed me.

"Where were you?" She asked me as she made breakfast. "You said you were going to come home right after the party and yet you didn't come home till now." She lectured. She was always the most responsible of the 3 of us and always made sure to keep us safe by checking on us.

"What's wrong?" She asked me as she stopped to look at me. With my hair messed up, my clothes in a wreck and walking with a limp and a very sad look on my face she could tell that something was very wrong.

"I just had a really bad night. Please don't ask about it!" I said trying to walk quickly to my room but she grabbed my arm stopped me.

"No we must talk about this! I am your best friend I would never judge you no matter what!" She told me with clear sincerity. I know that talking to her will make me feel better so I decided to tell her to clear my mind.

"Okay but you won't believe it and you will probably judge me badly." I said as I walked over to the couch.

"No I won't. I will never judge you no matter what." She said as she sat beside me.

"Last night I got drunk and had sex with Nathan Reid!" I said quickly hoping that she wouldn't hear me but from the change of her face expression I could tell that she did.

"Omg you slept with Nathan Reid. The Nathan Reid, popular jock who won yet another game last night. That guy." She said as she stood up and started pacing across the room. "You lost your virginity to him."

"Yes!" I said sadly.

"I can't believe that! My best friend lost her virginity to the hottest guy in school!" She said as she leaped on the seat beside me and put her head on my waste. "How do you feel?"

"I don't know? I mean I always wanted to lose my virginity to someone who loved me and who I will be with the rest of my life but that isn't going to happen anymore." I said sadly.

"I am soooo sorry." She said as she hugged my waste area.

"The worst part is that after that he tried to be nice to me?" I said as if it was a question because I myself don't know what happened.

"What do you mean?" She asked as she looked up at me.

"I mean he asked me to stay for breakfast and just to hang out and when I say no he offered to walk me home and when I said no he gave me his number." I said debating if that was the best way to pose what happened.

"That's amazing! He must like you!" Victoria said as she smiled up at me.

"What do you mean? He only did it because he felt guilty!" I said as I knew that was the main reason he did what he did.

"Felt guilty why?" She asked me as she rolled off me to look me in the eyes.

"He felt guilty because I told him about the virginity thing." I said with a grimace. I can't believe I told him that. "Why else would he do it?"

"You really don't see it." She said while shaking her head. "You do realize most guys don't really care about taking a girls virginity especially a guy like him who has girls throw themselves at him all the time. Taking a girls virginity, even a girls virginity who was saving it for a relationship, will not lead him to being suddenly nice to a girl."

"Then what do you think it is?" I asked as I knew that she knew how people worked better and would have a better idea as to what the hell happened.

"It's because he likes you. Stop shaking your head no because he does!" She said as I stopped shaking my head. "I mean I have heard from Jasmine how he does have one night stands but I never hear about him giving his number to a girl or wanting to get to know them!"

I started to ponder while crossing my legs and putting my hand on my chin. Could she be right? I mean she can't could she? No there's no way that he likes me so she can't be right!

"I think you should take him up on his offer!" She said while coming closer to me to hug me.

"Nope! No way! No way in hell!" I said as I got off of the couch.

"Too bad!" She said as she took my phone out of her one hand and his number out of the other. "Cause I'm doing it for you!" She exclaimed.

"You wouldn't." I said as I put my hands on my waste and looked at her sternly.

"Oh and look your password is still the same as it always is." She said as she showed me my phone to show that she got in and already got my texts open.

"No don't!" I said as she jumped off of the coach and I started to run after her around the room trying to get it. "Why are you doing this?"

"Because he could be good for you! And he could make you happy but if you don't give him a chance you'll never know!" She said as she texted on my phone and ran from me.

"But I don't want him to make me happy!" I said as I tried to grab my phone from her hand but it was too late as my phone dinged to show that not only did she send out a message but he responded.

"Someone should!" She said and give me my phone back to see that she texted him that she was me and that I wanted a date and I saw him respond with a really? What time?

I kept staring at my phone trying to mentally erase the texts and turn back time when I heard someone calling. I saw that it was the same number she texted. "He's calling what do I do?" I said as I ran to her and showed her my phone.

"You answer it!" She said as she swiped my phone to answer my call.

"Hello?" I heard his voice call out from the phone. "Is this Alyssa?"

"Yes?" I said with question in my voice. "Sorry for the text messages my friend stole my phone." I said quickly.

"I would have guessed. I didn't think you will text me back after you said to not expect anything. I was just worried about you." He said with sincerity in his voice.

Maybe Victoria is right? Maybe he does like me or at least is trying to feel less bad? Either way I said "If you want we can still go on that date?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes definitely!" I said trying to sound sure of myself even though I wasn't.

"Okay great I will pick you up tonight!" He said with an obvious smile on his face. "How does 7 sound to you?"

"Perfect!" I said trying to sound as happy as he did.

"Great see you then!" He said as he hang up the phone.

I put my phone into my pocket and looked down. I can't believe I said yes to a date with him. I looked up at Victoria who is smiling and said "I am soo going to kill you!"
