Chapter 55: He's Lying

//Riley's P.O.V//

*the next day*

Tara and Kat came into my room at about 6am to wake me up. I got dressed and walked downstairs.

Riley: why did you wake me up so early?

Tara: because we are going to the airport

Riley: the airport?!

Katrina: yep!

Riley: why?!

Tara: you'll see soon

I followed them outside to Tara's car.

*at the airport*

Tara pulled out her phone and started texting someone but wouldn't tell me who. She then put her phone in her pocket and proceeded to walk inside.

Katrina and I followed behind. They both looked very excited. They stopped at the baggage claim thingy. Tara took out her camera and someone walked over to them but I couldn't tell who it was. The person took their hoodie off and I realized who it was.

Riley: Parker?!

Parker: hi...

A smile grew on his face but he just stood there awkwardly. Katrina softly pushed him forward

Katrina: it's not that difficult to hug someone, common you know you want to

Tara: you're making it so awkward....perfect!

I hugged him.

Tara: that's it?! I flew him all the way here and the only reaction I get is an awkward hug?

Riley: you act like we're super close

Tara: aren't you?

Parker: not really...

Katrina: then why were you so excited when Tara asked if you wanted to come see her?

Parker: oh...uhhh...idk

Riley: you're making him feel extra awkward, stop with all of the questions

Parker: ....

Riley: well I'm happy that you're here

He smiled.

Tara: ok fine, let's go kids

Katrina laughed.

Ok I lied. We are very close. But still very awkward. I haven't mentioned it to anyone though because everyone would just start assuming things. I guess that just means it's between me and him. Someone is gonna find out sooner or later though. I wonder who..

//Tara's P.O.V//

They definitely like each other or are at least very close.

//Katrina's P.O.V//

I'm hungry.

*back at the trap house*

//Riley's P.O.V//

I sat in the livingroom with Parker for a while.

Riley: so this is why you were ignoring me for the past couple days?

Parker: uhh yeah sorry..I'm really bad at keeping secrets

Riley: its fine

Parker: I'm sorry for making this so awkward, I thought I would know what to say by the time I got here..

Riley: hmm, how have you been?

Parker: pretty good

Riley: oh well that's good

Parker: yeah

*20 painfully quiet seconds later*

Riley: you wanna go in the pool or something?

Parker: uh yeah, sure

Riley: ok! I'll be right back.

I ran upstairs, to my room. I threw on a bathing suit and put my hair up. As I walked out of my room I heard yelling from Colby's room. He sounded angry.

I walked towards his door and knocked. No response. I opened the door slowly and peeked my head inside. His was sitting on his couch. His fists were clenched tightly and he was tapping his foot on the ground quickly. His phone was on the floor beside him. He turned back, to look at me and he un clenched his fists. His angry facial expressions quickly changed to a worried/upset look.

I opened the door more and walked in slowly.

Riley: Colby?

No response

Riley: what's wrong?

Colby: ...uh nothing...th..that was just S..Shea..she got upset about something...I'm fine now..

Riley: oh...ok. let me know if there is something I can do to help...

Sam ran in the room.

Sam: what was all of the yelling about?

Colby: nothing

Sam: you're still such a bad liar

Colby: I'm fine, ok!? Just let me have some space for once in your life!

Sam: ok sorry

Sam walked out and I followed behind

Riley: he said it had something to do with Shea

Sam: that's impossible

Riley: how?

Sam: Shea's phone was in the kitchen when I was down there like 5 minutes ago

Riley: she isnt even here though

Sam: exactly

Riley: so he's lying..

Sam: but what is he lying about...?
