RIVALS

28| Betrayed

Taylor's POV

The party had already started and almost everyone from school was there, disguised in whatever the fuck. I didn't really pick an Halloween costume this year, with everything going on I didn't even wanna celebrate my birthday anymore. At least Mason was there for me.

"Birdie, my birdie! Happy birthday!" I heard Zac as he hugged me tightly from behind, I could sense that he was already getting drunk.

"Thanks rooster," I giggled.

"Oh no, stop with that nickname birdie," he pouted, which made me laugh.

I shook my head, "I won't,"

"Why?"

"Cause I love you," I offered him a smile as we both walked to the backyard where most of the noise was coming from.

But he stopped walking suddenly and looked at me, "you love me?"

My eyes widened and I immediately told him what I was talking about, "I mean, I love you as a brother, you know? Cause you're kinda like my best friend now..." I trailed off.

"Oh... I see, I love you too birdie, come here give me a hug,"

I let out a nervous laugh then went and wrapped my arms around my best friend. I had only him, too.

"Where's Mason?" I asked.

"I haven't seen him since he got here, I think he went upstairs with some other people, I don't know," he shrugged.

"What people?" I frowned.

"I don't know them, just some guys. I think they're from Sierra or something,"

My brows drew together, "Zac did you know that Mason smoked?"

"Mason smoking? Like, real smoking? Where?" He seemed really confused.

"I saw him smoke once and he told me that he smoked,"

"What?" He scoffed, "are we talking about the same Mason here?"

"Why? Is he hanging out with bad friends? What is he even smoking with them?"

"You might be right, those guys from Sierra are no good, they're in the football team. They usually only hang out around each other but this time I think Mason invited them here, cause I don't know any of them. They better not be doing an orgy in my fucking house,"

My eyes went wide again, "orgy?! What? With who? Where? Why? When?"

"That's what they do at parties. Once they organized a party and tried to get my sister to go with her friends, she didn't want to and stayed with her boyfriend instead. Then the day after, her friends told her everything they did at that party including the orgy. They do that every time,"

I really started to freak out, did they set Mason up to do that with them? Did they do something to him? Damn I had to find where he was.

Olivia's POV

We watched as Samantha rushed from the stairs to where we were sitting with Sidney, "she's here,"

"Who?" Sidney asked.

"Who else? Willis is here,"

Oh...

"Where's Mason?" I rapidly asked.

"He's with the guys,"

"Are you sure?" I asked Samantha.

"Yes Olivia I'm sure," she rolled her eyes.
