            My nails dug into the seat cushion.  I gave a little yelp as we took another sharp turn.  Honks filled the streets and I squeezed my eyes shut.  I peeked at the dashboard and the light glow from the clock illuminated 1:57.  Wow school was almost over!

            “Pierce, did I really just ditch school?”

            His answer was simple and quick.  “No.”  I gave him an incredulous look.  He glanced at me and chuckled.

            “What the mocha almond fudge are you talking about, Brit boy?”  I watch as we start leaning towards the other side of the street.

            “EYES ON THE ROAD! EYES! ON! THE! ROAD!”  He swerves again and I scream bloody murder.  This boy was going to kill me!

            “I called in sick for you too.”  He said with a matter of fact, wasn’t-that-blatantly-obvious-tone.  Despite my dislike for his way of putting it, relief flooded over me.

            “Thanks.”

            “Anytime.”  He stopped abruptly sending me forward only to have the seatbelt dig into my skin. Pierce’s phone decided to go off right then and there.  He pulled it out of his pocket and tossed it over to me without a word.  I took it already knowing who it was and opened it. 

            “Hello?”  I started nervously.

            “Kara?  Are you okay?  Where have you been?  You haven’t been picking up your phone!  Why are you with Pierce?”

            “Um, its fine Spencer.”

            “It’s not fine… are you cheating on me?”  Why did it sound like there was a hint of relief in his voice?  It seriously sounded like it.  I made no sound.   My mouth was open but nothing came out.  He was hiding something.  He had to be. I was sure of it.  I should call him out on it shouldn’t I?  But what if I’m wrong?

            But what if I’m right?

            Right. Wrong. Right. Wrong. 

            My internal conflict was interrupted by the sound of Spencer’s voice again.

            “Kara?”

            The phone slips from my hand and I see Pierce’s slender fingers take hold of the phone. He holds it up to his ear.  He doesn’t even look at me as I stare at him.  His mouth is in a tight line and his jaw is tensed.

            “Dude I think it’s time to tell her.”   I hear muffled yells from the other side of the line.  What did he mean by that?  I couldn’t think right now.  I wanted to get out of the car it felt like I was suffocating. Why was this all happening all of a sudden?  I fumbled in my pockets and pulled out my phone.  I had a lot of missed calls and messages.  Most of them were from an unknown number I guessed was Spencer.  I wonder who gave him my number.  Oh yeah probably Tina.

            The latest one was from Tina. I smiled sadly bracing myself for another interrogation.

            Where r u?

            With pierce

            R u ok?

            Yes…  no…  I don’t know

            Call me?

            Later

            K

            Pierce was still on the phone with Spencer and I needed something to do.  I slowly scrolled down through my contacts.  My finger hovered over arrow button when I saw the highlighted name.  M.M.  Now that I realized Spencer was not the mystery texter a wave of disappointment swept through me.  I had kind of wished it was him.  Instead it also made it fun.  That meant I still had a chance at winning our little game.  I texted him.

            Hey

            Pierce let out a frustrated groan causing me to jump as he slammed his phone shut.  I snapped my phone shut as well and looked at him curiously.  He glared at the road.

            “You’re boyfriend’s a douche.” 

            “You know he is your brother right?”

            “STEP-brother.”  He said with great emphasize.

            “Whatever. So why is he a douche?” I asked curiously.

            “Can’t tell you.”

            “Why not?!”

            “Because he’s my step-brother.” He put in that annoying matter of fact tone. I rolled my eyes and groaned as I leaned back in my seat.  My foot began to tap rhythmically against the dashboard to Secrets by One Republic.  What is happening? It’s like everything was so perfect and now it’s crumbling before me and I have no idea why or what I can do to stop it.

            “Trust me, Kara.  You don’t want to hear it from me.  Spencer is the one who needs to tell you.”

            “Why? Why does he have to tell me? Why can’t you just tell me?  Is it really that bad?”  

            Pierce didn’t respond which gave me the answer I needed.  Yes it was really that bad.  My mind raced with the possibilities of the worst outcomes possible. 

            Cheating? No, that couldn’t be it.  I don’t mean to sound weird or anything but cheating wasn’t really all that bad.  It happens, no big deal.  I mean of course I would still be bummed if he did but I wouldn’t go all drama queen over it.

            What could it be? 

            Without noticing he had pulled up to my house. I slowly got out.  Before I closed the door I looked at him and smiled.

            “Thank you for today, Pierce. I really needed that.  To just talk it out.”

            He gazed up at me and gave me the most heartwarming smile.            

            “Anytime you need me. I’ll always be here for you.”

            I quickly closed the door and practically jogged to my door.  Slamming it closed caused the house to shudder.  My body gave way and I let myself sink to the ground.  My face was burning and the drumming of my heart raced.  

            No, he was just a friend.  I think.
