She belongs with me

{Caleb}

'Caleb, there you are!' Isaac yells when I walk into the house. 'I almost thought you wouldn't come.'

'Well, I'm here now,' I say, sitting down next to Isaac. He hands me a beer.

'Oh, before I forget,' he says. 'Liam is here as well. Don't ask me how or why, but he's here. With Olivia, of course.' So I do have to watch them being all clingy.

'Great,' I mumble, taking a sip from my beer.

'But, I found the perfect girl for you!' Isaac says and I laugh. He's clearly a bit drunk. 'You remember Amy, right?'

'Liam's best friend?' I ask confused.

'Well, ex best friend,' he corrects me. 'But yeah, that's the one. You already hooked up with her, so it should be fine. It's the perfect way to get back at Olivia.'

'I don't know,' I murmur. 'Revenge isn't really my thing.'

'Of course it is,' Isaac says, patting my back. 'I'm sure Amy is open for it as well, after Liam basically dumped her.'

'I'm still not sure,' I say. Of course I'm mad at Olivia for having sex with Liam, but I don't think this is the way. I don't want to go down that path.

'Caleb, you're too good for this world already,' Isaac says. 'Don't see it as revenge, alright? See it as, having fun... With a little bonus.' I laugh and shake my head.

'There she is,' Isaac mumbles, looking behind me. And for a moment I think he's talking about Olivia, but when I turn my head I see Amy.

'Go get her.' Before I can protest, Isaac pushes me towards the blonde haired girl.

'Hey, Caleb!' she greets me.

'Hey,' I smile.

'How are you doing?' she asks me then. 'I heard that you and Olivia had a thing going on, but well... Not anymore.' She looks behind me for a swift second, her gaze falls, only for less than a second. I don't even have to look to know that she sees Liam and Olivia together, but I can't resist myself. So I turn around and see the two lovebirds holding hands as they get inside.

'I'm gonna get another drink,' Amy mumbles. 'Wanna join?' I nod and quickly follow her to the kitchen.

'But what happened between you and Olivia?' Amy asks me as she pours some alcohol into a red cup. 'I was starting to think that you guys were a couple, until I saw her with Liam at school the other day.'

'We were never official,' I explain. 'But there was definitely something going on, or at least I thought. But then she had sex with Liam.' I don't even know why I'm telling her all this, but who cares? It's not like it's a secret. And I'm guessing Amy would've found out either way.

'Sounds like you need more of this,' Amy mumbles, pouring some more alcohol into another red cup.

'You know, I really don't understand them,' Amy says, handing me a red cup. She lifts herself up on a counter. 'I genuinely thought they were done. When Liam cheated on her with me, he told me that he had feelings for me. And well, Olivia got feelings for you. So why would they stay together?'

'They probably aren't able to let each other go,' I sigh, leaning against the counter. I take a sip of my drink and when I taste how much alcohol is in there, I squeeze my eyes shut for a moment.

'You really made it strong,' I mumble. Amy laughs and nods.

'Yeah, sorry,' she says. 'I just figured you could use it. I don't know about you, but I don't even want to realize what those two are doing.'
