Liiza's POV
"Liiza, what is he doing here?" Zach asks, walking out of the cafe with Rilee.
"Too late." I mumble to myself.
"Oh great, and here comes the hulk." Andree rolls his eyes.
I climb out of the car, putting my hands on Zach's chest. "Zach, calm down. Let's just sit down and talk about this."
"There is no way I'm gonna sit with him." He stiffens his jaw and I can see the anger building up inside of him.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't want to sit with a pathetic, jealous wanna-be, like you, either." Andree smirks.
"You need to back off." Zach slips his arm around my waist.
"Oh, are you her boyfriend?" Andree sighs, feigning a confused expression. "I guess she didn't tell you that she slept in my bed last night. With me." He laughs. "I'm leaving. Call me if you need a ride. Mom said I should bring you back home safe and sound." After starting the car, he drives away.
I don't even have his number.
"Care to explain?" Zach sounds furious.
I look at Rilee with pleading eyes but she just shrugs.
"Can we go and sit first?" I ask calmly and Zach nods.
We all walk into the cafe and sit down in our usual booth. We order hot chocolates with marshmallows and cream.
After they are served to us, Zach finally breaks the silence. "Why were you with Andree?" Every word is pierced with venom and hatred.
"Why do you care so much?" I respond softly.
"I can't believe you would even speak with him. I can't even look at you right now." He crosses his arms, his volume raising.
"Dude chill," I chuckled, but that didn't change the tension in the air at all.
I looked at Rilee, who just shrank deeper into the chair.
"How can I chill? He said you slept with him"
"Come on dude, you know better than to believe that fool" I chucked
"But why with him?"
"Well just like you're not living at home, I'm also not, you know our parents traveled"
"How does your mom know him? And Why didn't they just let us stay together?"
"I don't know, I was just sent to live with him and I couldn't possibly pack my bag and leave, it's disrespectful to his mom"
"And what about the sleeping part"
"I was tired last night and entered the wrong room but he wasn't in his room when I entered, so I fell asleep in there and woke up with him beside me"
"Ewe, your contaminated with the Andree flu"
"I took a shower"
"Fiiine" He groaned.
We finally talked everything out, then continued taking our chocolates.
"Come back to Logan's place with me." His words are carefully placed and slow, gentle.
"Okay."
"As long as I don't have to go back home to my annoying brother." Rilee says, ironically, trying to make us crack a smile.
Rilee talking about her brother makes my stomach crunch in pain. I guess I never mentioned it but yeah, I have a twin brother. His name is Lucas.
He's not dead or anything. He was taken to boarding school when we were 14. He has been there for the last four years.
Lucas does come to visit for holidays, but he's only given the Christmas holidays, which means I only get to see him once a year.
I love him so much.
"You guys go wait outside. I'll pay the bill." Zach says solemnly, his gaze fixed on the table. My mind keeps wandering else where.
••
"What do you want to watch?" Zach hands the remote to Rilee.
I stay silent, crossing my arms.
"Well I'll choose then." Rilee says finally, flicking through the movie options. "The Pacifer?"
"What? No. We should watch 'Sharknado 5.'" Logan says, plopping into an armchair.
"We're watching 'Fast and Furious 8.'" Zach says, smirking.
"Into the storm."
"The Volcano."
"Let It Shine!"
"Ant Bully."
"Wall-E!"
The three of them continue to bicker about the movie for a while before I decide to interrupt.
"Guys-" They continue to fight to I raise my voice. "GUYS!"
They all turn to me. Zach looks averts his eyes from mine.
"Geez woman, learn to control your anger!" Logan says and I just roll my eyes.
"Why don't we all just choose a movie, then, blindfolded, each choose a movie out of the four?" I suggest, tentatively.
"Sounds good to me." Rilee says.
"I'm good with it." Logan smiles.
"Okay." Zach agrees softly.
"Well, I choose Suicide Squad." I pick the DVD out of the pile.
"The Pacifier." Rilee chooses, and I grab it.
"Fast and Furious 8." Zach leans back into the lounge.
"Sharknado 5." Logan says.
"Okay. Now, who'll get blindfolded first?" I ask.
Logan jumps up, going to his closet to find a blindfold, while Rilee and I lay out the DVDs on the floor and wait for the boys.
Zach is playing with Buck, Logan's dog. He's a Pomeranian. Buck is tiny and so fluffy. Even though I'm more of a cat person, I still have a special spot for dogs.
"Here you go," Logan hands me the blindfold.
"Liiza's starting!" Rilee pipes up, grabbing the blindfold from my hands and telling Logan to shuffle up the DVDs.
Rilee goes behind me and ties the fabric over my eyes. It all goes dark.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" Rilee asks.
"Uh..." I think for a moment. "Three, I guess."
"Nope!" she says, popping the 'p.' "Let's start."
"Okay. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffl-" I hear Logan mumble to himself.
"You know what would make this easier? If you stop saying shuffle every second!" I snap and Rilee chuckles.
I can't see him, but I'm pretty sure he just rolled his eyes.
"Okay. Choose." Rilee says, guiding my hands forward. "The one you pick will get one point."
I feel my way over to the DVDs, picking up the one furthest to the left.
"The Pacifier!" Rilee shouts.
I take off my blindfold and see Rilee gloats, doing a victory dance.
"That's only one point out of four." Logan rolls his eyes.
The next person to be blindfolded is Zach.
His hands land on 'Sharknado 5' which means that this time, Logan was the one doing the victory dance.
After Zach is Rilee and she chooses 'Sharknado 5' as well.
So basically the votes are:
'Sharknado 5': two points
'Suicide Squad' : zero points
'The Pacifier': one point
'Fast and Furious 8' : zero points
"Okay. Logan, you're up." Zach smiles.
"You're my only hope. You have to vote for Pacifier" Rilee shouted.
Logan is blindfolded and the movies are shuffled. He moves his hands around and drop on 'The Pacifier.'
"Yeah!" Rilee fistbumps into the air.
"We need a tiebreaker, now." Logan groans, falling back onto the ground.
"How are we going to do that?"
"Guys, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I grin.
"Yes! We should dump the movie and go to the park." Zach suggests.
"I was going to say we let Buck break the tie. Your idea is dumb."
"Good idea Liz." Logan smiles. "Buck!" He calls.
The snowball runs into the room, his tail wagging.
"Okay, Buck. We need you to choose one from these two movies. Only one." Logan explains to his dog.
What is happening?
Logan sets Buck in front of him and let's Buck sniff one of the movies.
Buck walks over to 'The Pacifier.'
"I love your dog." Rilee teases, a huge smile upon her lips.
Logan exhales in defeat. "I'll grab the popcorn."
And just like that, everything seems back to normal.
"Please, Liz." Jonah is on my front porch, begging me to help him make it up to Rilee."No." I snap. "You really hurt Rilee. Do you really expect me to help you after you hurt my best friend? If you want to make it up to her then you'll have to do it yourself.""Please. I really want to apologize." He looked solemn. "I want us to be friends again.""Whatever. Why are you coming to me?" My hand slides to our cold, metal doorknob as I go to close the door in his face."Wait! Liiza." He bites his lip in thought. "I'll sing for you. I have an awesome voice.""What?" I look at him in confusion."I'll get you a jewellery." He sounds desperate."Nu-uh.""I'll buy you makeup." He pleads.I roll my eyes in response."I'll buy you a pizza!"I contemplated his promise for a short while. "You've got yourself a deal."I know that I'm being pretty selfish, but hey, food is my first priority. I could never say no to pizza.Besides, I'm doing this for Rilee. She deserves an apology.Jonah exhales in
Scrolling through my phone has always been one of the most interesting things I do but at this moment, I literally feel like stabbing myself with a knife but the only thing stopping me is the pack of cadbury caramel chocolate, twix and pack of oreos.If I weren't stressed eating that stuff, I would be dead. Exams are coming up, I don't wanna study but I want to pass.With a deep sigh, I lock my phone in frustration and place my phone face down on the old, wooden surface of the school library table. As my eyes wander around the room, I lock eyes with the one and only Andree.All he was doing was walking but it looked to me like he was modeling for an advertisement. You know those slowmo steps they take, then run their hand through their hair? Yeah, that type. I couldn't miss the wink he shot me as he walked over.I couldn't help but nervously bite my lip, trying not to curse that he's here. Talking with him has always been hard since the incident that happened when we were younger."Ti
Liiza's POV ♫Give it to me I'm worth it. Baby, I'm worth it. I'm worth it. Gimmie, Gimmie I'm worth it. ♫ Rolling over in my bed, I slam the snooze button sleepily. It's Monday. Which means school. After taking a quick shower, I wrap my towel around my body and head to my walk in wardrobe. I pick out a few outfits and prop them up against my body, trying to formulate what I'm going to wear. Finally, I go with a white, cropped sweater and dark blue wash, ripped jeans paired with white Adidas sneakers and gold accessories. I grab my phone. One new notification: Rilee. Hey babs, can't pick you up today. Sorry. :,( How am I going to get to school? I'll have to call Zach to pick me up. I flick to the phone app and scroll down to his number but I am interrupted by a knock at the door. "Come in!" I called. The door opens to reveal Cass. "Morning Liiza, just wanted to pop in and say breakfast is ready. Andree is already eating." I nod my head in response, flashing a quick smile,
Liiza's POVDo you ever just wake up in a good mood? The warmth of spring, seeping through your windows, the gentle chirp of birds outside? Well, let me tell you, I don't. Anything that wakes me up from sleep makes me very mad.The day has come, the day we finally meet the mysterious Sierra, Stephanie and Christina. The girlfriends.Through messages in the group chat, we decided to meet at B&W at 7:00pm. Plenty of time, especially considering it's only 10 in the morning right now.I roll over, unplugging my phone from the charger. I scroll through my notifications, tapping on the Wattpad ones. They always put me in a good mood.2 of them are 2 story updates and the other is a reply to my comment.It takes me a little less than half an hour to get ready for the day. • • • •I spent the whole day binging 'Pretty Little Liars' on my laptop. Until I get a text from Rilee. Here! I check my clock, surprised that she is here so early. 5:30pm the display blinks. I guess time flies when you'r
Liiza's POV"I was expecting you." I am greeted with a familiar male voice, coming from a figure on a swivel chair from the study, back facing me.What the hell is happening?The chair spins around, and it's Andree, with Luca, his dog, on his lap.The sight of him makes my blood boil. After everything, him ignoring me, treating me like dirt, his dumb remarks and offhanded insults. I don't want to see his face."What do you want?" I groan, sit down and take off my stilettos. Not a good choice."You passed curfew." He says finally, showing me the time on his phone."So what? Are you my mom?""No, but I can tell my mom." He says and my eyes widen.I really, really want to give a good impression to Cassandra. This would ruin it!"Please don't." I frown, grabbing a glass from the cupboard. "When did you become a snitch, anyway?""I'm not." He says. "I just like getting my way."I take a fat gulp of water and give him an are you kidding me look.Andree turns his phone around to reveal a sna
Liiza's POV "You sure? I mean..... I don't think you should" Rilee complains."Oh come on... Chill out, Riles. Nothings gonna happen. Just think of it as a friendly date" I try to convince her.Apparently, I just told Rilee about the date and she denied.She hates the idea but too bad, I'll be leaving with Andree in just like 15 minutes.I'm wearing my white shirt with blue jeans, a blue scarf and brown knee length boots, and took my blue bag.The jacket part will be his job.I'm sure you might have figured it out that I love scarfs. I always wear it unless its too hot outside or it doesn't fit with my dressing."A friendly date? Really Liz, a friendly date. Liz, Zach, Jack and Cayden are going...." She doesn't get to complete the sentence cause someone knocked the door and I immediately said"Bye Riles. Talk to you later"Then ended the call.I ran to the door and saw Andree. He is looking hot as always with his ocean blue eyes and spiked hair.He wore a black shirt, blue jeans, and
Zach's POVToday is our first day of practice. We are in Jack's house for song writing.We were all supposed to go together but Jonah and Dylan had to leave so it's just the 3 of us.For now, we are only writing some draft work. Later we will edit the entire thing and get a perfect script with Jonah and Dylan."Jackey!!" A cute little girl came cheering and hugged Jack from back, which is a very cute view if you ask me.She looks around 7 and 8 years old."Lola!" Jack smiled and turned around so they were facing each other "How are you?" He asked."Fine!" She cheered."How was school?" He asked."Amazing! I made friends with the new students" She said then turned her gaze to Caleb "Caly!" She cheered and hugged him too."Hey Lola" He pecked her check then she turned to me and I smiled while she looked down with a shy smile."Hi Lola, I'm Zach" I introduced myself and extended my hand which she shook with a smile."Hi Zach! You're the new friend Jack said he made!" She said then hugged
Caleb's POVIt's blank. I can't see light. Everywhere is black and dark.I'm standing on a black tile which has my reflection on it.I instantly started falling deeper and deeper, it kept getting darker and darker and I kept screaming. But I landed. Am I dead? I can't move. I can't see anything. There is nothing I can do.Once again I started falling but this time I was falling into a white light and my eyes instantly opened. My leg was hurting and I couldn't move it. I suddenly remembered. Liiza and Andree at the cafe. Zach left in anger, and a truck hit us. Jack and Zach!I couldn't see anything neither could I move my right leg. My head is aching badly and around the car is wet.I pat around trying to find Caleb. I finally touched him and shook him but he wasn't moving."Help! Help!" I shouted and hit the door as hard as I could.But there was no one around. The car is upside down."Help!" I shout once again."Wait up, it's dark, we're coming" I heard a female voice shout back
