Summer made us

Chapter 21

Cole's POV

The sound of my phone woke me up. I picked it up to see who the caller was and it was the last person I thought would ever call me. My dad.

At first I didn't want to answer the call but I did anyway. Sitting up, I press answer.

"Hello. " I said casually.

"Hello Cole. I wanted to know if you've made up your mind yet. "

"About what. "

"The training. " "you'll be turning 18 in the next two months and you'll have to begin the training. " he said and my morning was already ruined.

"Don't you get it. I don't want to work in your fucking company. At least not now. "

"Mind your language young man and you don't have a choice in this. My decision is final. " he said and hung up.

I was beyond furious , I threw my phone on the wall. Why does he always do this? Why can't he be a better, understanding father? Why the fuck did he have to make life's decisions for me? Arrgh.

I stand up from bed and pick up the pack of cigarettes on the bedside table. I take one out and light it to smoke.

I went out to the balcony and leaned on the railing. Why can't he just understand that I have a life to live asides the stupid company. I was done with the stick when Caleb entered my room.

"What's up man? " he asked me. I didn't answer him though. I had a lot on my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about Lily and what happened yesterday. If I didn't control myself I would have slept with her. I couldn't get my mind off that and now my dad decides to worsen everything.

"Yo Cole. Did you hear what I said? " was he talking? I wasn't paying attention.

I turned to face. "What did you say? "

"Nichole is downstairs and she says she wants to see you. We tried sending her away but she was too hellbent on seeing you". 

Could my day get any worse. I felt guilty for sending her away like that in the middle of the night but I still didn't want to see her. Before I could even say anything she barged into my room. What the hell?

"Hey baby. " she said with that high pitched voice of hers. Caleb was trying to stifle his laugh. I was glaring at him and he raised his hands in mock surrender before walking out the door.

"I thought I told you not too ever come here. " I told her.

"Well I didn't think you were serious. " I glared at her but she just shrugged it off and stepped closer to me.

"I was serious. So get the fuck out of my house. I already have so many problems to deal with I don't want you adding another. " I said to her coldly but she didn't budge.

'Oh Cole. I know you're just saying all this because of that girl and once she leaves you, you'll have no choice to come back to me. " she said and walked closer to me till she was right in front of me.

"That's the thing Nichole. I would never come back to my mistakes. " I said to her with a sharp tone.

She didn't seem offended by what I said, she just wrapped her arms around me and smiled seductively.

"I missed you so much Cole. " she said leaving small kisses on my face. I was very disgusted.

"Nichole. " I warned. She just laughed it off and crashed her lips on mine. My whole body went tense for a while before I realized what was happening.

I pushed her away from me and she landed on her butt.

"Listen and listen carefully Nichole. What ever you think we had has gone down the drain. I want nothing to do with you. Absolutely nothing. " I said to her.

She got up from the floor and looked at me straight in the eyes.

"You'll come back Cole. I know you will. " she said and walked out of my room. I was so angry. From my dads phone call to Nichole showing up and kissing me.

I punched the wall several times till I couldn't feel my hand anymore. I was so tired. I wished I could talk to mom about all this but I can't because I'm still annoyed with her. Olivia, maybe Olivia can help me talk to dad. I don't know if it'll work but I'll give it a try.

I walk out of the room and head for her bedroom. When I get there I knock gently before she opened the door for me.

"Hey Olivia. " I said smiling at her.

"Cole. What's wrong? " she said looking at me, she scanned me from head to toe and her gaze landed on my bruised hand.

"I told you to stop punching the wall. You'll hurt yourself. " she said opening the door wide for me to enter.

She took me into her bathroom and washed the blood off before covering it up with a bandage. After that we went to the room and sat down on her bed.

"What happened Cole? " I sighed.

"Dad called. " The look in her eyes told me she had an idea of what happened.

"He told me I'll be starting the training and I have no say the matter.

I don't know what I did to deserve all this Olivia. Can't he just let me do what I want. Its not like I won't work in the company, I would but he shouldn't just rush this. " I said to her and I felt like crying my eyes out.

She pulled me to her and hugged me tight. "I'm so sorry Cole. I'll do whatever I can to make him understand you. " she said to me and I was trying to fight back my tears. Normally I won't cry but letting Olivia hug me just makes me want to release all that's hurting me with my tears.

I don't know how someone I looked up too as my hero would end up being the villain in my story. When I was younger, I loved my dad so much but when I turned 14 I saw caught him cheating on my mom and since then I didn't see him the same way again.

I let her hug me for a while, telling me not to worry that everything would be fine.

I finally pulled away from her and smiled at her. No one has ever seen me this weak except her, Caleb and James. I kissed her on the cheek and she smiled at me.

"Thanks Olivia. " I said to her and she smiled at me before I left her and went back to my room.

When I got into my room Caleb was on my bed and James sitting on one of the swivel chairs smoking a blunt.

"Let me just say y'all already know what's up. " I said and they nodded. I sigh inwardly.

"So you guys came to see maybe I've committed suicide. " I said jokingly and they both laughed.

"We all know you can't do that. " James said and I smirked.

"I brought a bottle of scotch because I think you need it. "Caleb said.

"I don't drink. " I said giving him a poker face.

"And I'm gay. " Caleb said and me and James looked at him like he grew two heads.

"What the fuck? " James said and Caleb laughed.

"Y'all should chill. I'm just messing with you. " he said laughing and took a swig of the scotch and passed it to me. I chugged it down and passed it to James but he declined showing me his blunt and I chuckled. Typical of him to deny alcohol.

We just stayed there drinking and smoking and I forgot about everything bothering me. That's why I loved my friends they always knew how to cheer me up in their own twisted way.
