Lake house
Chapter 12
Phoebe’s P.O.V
Calum walks out of the closet flustered and flashing apologetic looks over Kirsty’s way. I have no idea of what they were doing in there and I don’t really care as long as my idiotic brother doesn’t hurt my best friend. If he does, shit will go down! And not just from me, from Kirsty as well. I remember when we were at school and a new girl had joined and started flirting with Calum because he look “cute” in his Nasa shirt. Calum had just ignored her until I found him kissing her, well her kissing him, behind the changing rooms. He had promised Kirsty that she had forced her way onto him. She had gone after the girl, Mardie, and hit her in the face with a hockey stick. She had had trouble trusting people after that.
After he is seated I turn to look at Luke, who is giving out the dares, and find he is looking straight at me.
“It’s your turn Phoebe. Truth or Dare?” He ask.
Truth, choose Truth. I might not have known him for a while, but I do know that I can’t trust him with this. I need to choose Truth if I don’t want to get myself into trouble.
“Dare” Shit! Why did I say that?
Luke grins and looks over at Kirsty and then back to me. “Thought so. We are running out of alcohol. Go find a shop close by with Kirsty and get us some bottles of Vodka” He says patting Kirsty’s back making her stand up.
“But we aren’t old enough. We won’t be able to buy it.” Kirsty stutters looking over at Calum for help.
“Yeah, I don’t want my girlfriend and sister to get in trouble for underage drinking and shop lifting.” Calum shouts shoving Luke over. Not hard but hard enough to make him fall backwards. I can see Luke’s face drop as Calum calls Kirsty his girlfriend. Awe, he likes her! That is so cute! Wait, she can’t cheat on Calum. Not cute!!
“Shut up, Calum. Come on, Kirsty. Let’s go.” I sigh and grabbing Ashton’s leather jacket off of his lap. “I’ll need this. It is probably cold out.” I get a nod from him meaning that its fine. I pull it on and walk to the door ignoring all the odd looks from the others in the group. I feel Kirsty behind me so I open the door and walk out.
“What’s up with you, miss grumpy guts?” Kirsty askes as she swings her arms to the beat of her walking. At the moment we are walking down a long empty road that is in the middle of nowhere. On each side of us are thick trees and forests. There are no lights which means it is basically pitch black. I am fine with being here at night in the cold. The one problem is that it is dark. I hate the dark and it doesn’t help that it is dark and we are alone. Ugh, I hate my life right now.
“Nothing. I just don’t want to be out here. Its dark and cold. Why did we agree to this?” I ask trembling when I hear a stick break.
“What happened to the big, brave, fearless Phoebe I know? Hun, just calm down. It is no different than in the day. There is just no sun.” She laughs pushing my shoulder slightly. I shiver and pull Ashton’s jacket closer to my body. I breath in and get a waft of his smell. Honestly it is the best thing I have ever smelt. Heavenly, that’s what it is.
“She is still here, just not as brave at the moment” I scream when I hear another twig snap behind us. “Kirsty, can we just go back. We can say that we couldn’t find a shop. Or say that we got there and didn’t have any money.”
“Why? We will be fine. Any way, they won’t believe the money thing as we are shop lifting, not buying.” She sighs stuffing her hands into her pocket and looking up into the sky. I look at her face and just about make out a frown placed on her mouth. She is thinking. I know that as that is the face she pulls while doing a test or homework. Her thinking face. She sighs again and looks over at me. “I think I like Luke.”
“What? Kirsty, you can’t. You are with Calum. My brother Calum, who gave up music school to be with you. You can’t leave him. It will destroy him! Don’t be the bitch you aren’t.” I whisper/shout.
She slowly shakes her head. “I am grateful for everything he has done for me. I just feel he is too controlling and doesn’t trust me. He doesn’t make me happy anymore and I really don’t think I could spend the rest of my life with him. You see, Luke, he makes me laugh. He makes me want to feel wanted and he listens to me. I am not saying I love him, because I don’t. I mean, I don’t know him, but I want to. He asked to go out tomorrow and get to know each other. He promised not as a date because I don’t want to cheat on Calum. I would never do that. But to make sure my feelings for Luke are correct I need to get to know him. This isn’t bad is it?” She asks timidly looking at me.
“No, it’s not bad. What you’re doing is right. But please don’t hurt Calum. Leave him but don’t hurt him.” I beg. She nods and I know I can trust. I just don’t know how Calum will react and what he will do to Luke. This is not going to end well.
