Chapter Fourteen
"Finn, get out of here," the Coach quickly mutters as Principal Harrison began striding over, a look of fury on his face.
Finn darts off to the side, before disappearing behind the grandstand. He has been warned that he is at risk of being suspended and losing his Captain position on the football team if he gets into any more fights.
"Who started it?" Harrison barks immediately. "And who was involved?"
Eli let out a humourless laugh as the paramedics began working on him, as he watched the football team begin to scramble.
"Alec, come here," Harrison said and Alec sighs, walking over to him. "Where's Finn?"
Alec shrugs, unable to wipe the cocky grin off his face. "Haven't seen him since the game finished."
Principal Harrison narrowed his eyes at him. "Get over to the bench. Now."
Alec rolls his eyes, doing as he's told.
Harrison looks at Jai. "You didn't throw any punches, did you?"
"Nah," Jai replies honest

"What about an ambulance?" I cry out frantically."Invite them to a party, where 70% of the kids are underage?" Alec points out, already dialling Finn's number. "Besides, he's already been seen paramedics, he just passed out because he drank too much, under the influence of pain killers. I need help carrying him.""Alec, we can sort this out ourselves. We just need to get him inside," I insist, wanting nothing more than to leave Finn out of this."Hey man, what's up?" I hear Finn's voice as Alec has his iPhone in his hand, Finn on speaker."Don't," I mouth, my eyes pleading.Alec returns my stare, a blank expression on his face. "We need you here, man. It's Jai."I shake my head at Alec in disappointment, getting to my feet. Jai's face seemed peaceful as he lays there on the cold grass. I turn my back to Alec and walk into the party, attempting to find Samara.Ignoring the stares and a few fox whistles, I p

"You agreed to go on a date with him?" Samara exclaims in surprise. "Yeah," I nod. "Is that bad?" "No, I will always support your decision..." she trails off. "But, what about everything he has done?" "I know, that's why I'm so hesitant about it. But he truly does seem like he wants to change." I tell her, chewing at my lip. "What about Alec?" I blow out a breath, taking a seat beside Samara. I lean my elbows onto my thighs, shaking my head, my dark hair spilling down my shoulders. "I don't know. I love spending time with him, but I can't help thinking he will get bored and move on soon."

"I didn't want to tell you because it would make me feel worse than I already do," Samara huffs as she slides her large, gold hoop through her ear."What do you mean?" I question, sitting back onto my bed, already organized for tonight."I know Jai's one of your good friends, practically a part of your family. He's an amazing guy, I just... don't feel the same way. I love being single, I don't want to be tied down. Not until I at least get with Eli Matthews. Then, I can die happy," she informs me and I laugh, her obsession with Eli still prominent after all these years. She turns to me. "By the way, if I got offered to have 'revenge sex' with Eli, I would do it in a heartbeat.""Don't remind me," I laugh, shaking my head, knowing that if I ever did take up the offer, Samara would kill me in my sleep. "And I'm not going to make you feel bad. You can't force yourself to like someone.""But you think we would work together and be really cute, don't you?"
Bad Liar Chapter Eighteen
Miles moans loudly and it drives me to my knees.I frantically pat my hands over his body, trying to figure out how I can help."Feels like my insides are upside down," he gasps, looking on the verge of passing out."Can you get to your feet?" I ask him, feeling sick with worry.Gritting his teeth, he nods. I wrap my arm around his torso. I try to lift and fall backward, landing in a heap on the porch."Fuck," Miles groans. "I can't walk.""How am I supposed to get you inside?" I cry out, feeling useless.His blinking slows down, before he slumps, his head rolling to the right."Shit!" I curse, shaking him. "Miles, wake up!"I can't believe this is happening again - first Jai, now Miles. With tears streaming down my face, my trembling hands begin dialling Finn's number."Yo," he greets after a few rings. "Where are you?""Finn!" I sob. "Come home and come alone. I need your help."He's

A light tap on my door, makes me slowly open my eyes.I roll to my side, as the door opens. Finn pokes his head in, his unruly dark hair sticking up at odd angles. As if sensing my eyes, he quickly pushes his hand through it, in an attempt to flatten it."Hey," he greets, his usually confident voice quiet.We haven't spoken since last night. I don't really know what to say. I want to thank him, of course, but we made a deal about Miles. I broke it. He knows I was sneaking around with Miles, again. He took the news very well, much better than expected, but I can't help thinking that now it's a new day, he might not be so calm about it all."Hey," I reply softly."You okay?""Yeah," I shrug, not quite sure if I mean it. "You?""Yeah," he nods. "I'm going to get lunch with The Boys and then we're heading to the beach. Want to come?"Alec's hurt face flashes in my mind, making my stomach clench for the thousandth time

"Keep going!" the perky voice talk-shouts at me. "I know you can do it!""If she says that one more time," I warn with a grunt, as I run on the spot.Mum lets out a breathless laugh, running beside me. We follow her directions and begin to run in circles around each other, our arms in the air, probably looking a little crazy if anyone can see us through the windows."Let's slow it down, ya'll," the lady calls out, returning to her former spot, the other four girls behind her doing the same. They all had bodies to die for and perfectly matching activewear, making my and mum's outfits look a little lame.The scene fades out for a moment and I stop, dragging the back of my hand across my forehead. Mum recently purchased several Zumba DVDs for fitness. We basically just copy what the ladies on the screen are doing and it's much more tiring than I expected.The screen fades back in. They're are all on their back.I groan, dropping t
Bad Liar Chapter Twenty-One
"Really?" he whispers, his voice low and even."Yes," I nod. "Get me away from these people."He nods, pulling me closer to him, instinctively."Not leaving so soon, are we?" a familiar voice asks, causing my blood to chill inside my veins.I feel sick as I turn around, seeing Eli smirking at me."Eli," Miles grunts through gritted teeth."Hi Isobel, how are you?" he asks me, his tone playful and polite.I decide not to answer. Mainly, because Miles is gripping my hand so tight, that it is painful."I've missed a lot," he says with a grin. "You two, rekindling your old flame? I would say I'm surprised, but we all knew it was bound to happen.""What are you doing here?" Miles asks him, his tone warning."Thought I would visit my good friends," he replies breezily, the soft wind tousling his hair. "And maybe kick your ass, but it looks like someone beat me to it."He lethargically gestures to Mi

"Hey," I say softly as I sit on the edge of Finn's bed.He has his face buried into his pillow, his arms tucked underneath. He lets out a grunt in response. I gently touch his arm, trying to be some sort of comfort to him."How are you?"He rolls onto his back and stares up at the ceiling, looking drained. "Just great.""Looks that way.""I had a talk with mum this morning," he mumbles tiredly, rubbing his eyes."I heard," I whisper.He raises a dark eyebrow at me. "Eavesdropper.""I know. Anger Management, huh?""Bullshit, isn't it?" he growls, looking annoyed."Well..." I shrug one-shouldered. "You do get in a lot of fights.""So do a lot of people.""Not as much as you," I say gently. "It's getting bad, Finn."He exhales deeply through his nose. "Damn it."I move so that I am lying beside him. Our shoulders graze as I stare up at the ceiling."Who were you with t
