Chapter Fifteen

Little Talks

I decided to go to my house before going to Neal’s. I walked the whole way because no one’s house was too far away from each other’s in this neighborhood and I needed time to clear my head before speaking with Neal.

When I got there, my sister’s car was the only one parked in the driveway.

I cringed as soon as I saw it. I had disappeared last night, not even bothering to call home. It wasn’t for my parent’s sake but more for my sister’s. My parents probably didn’t even know I had gone to the party. I knew she cared about my wellbeing.

I hesitated before I walked into the house, slowly closing the door, trying not to make my presence known to my sister. Then I tiptoed to the stairs.

I didn’t get a foot up on a step before I heard Gwen growl from behind me. “Where in the hell have you been?” she snapped.

I cringed for the second time, slowly swiveling around to face her. “I-I was uh…” Good thing Gwen started ranting before I could even finish.

“I was worried when I couldn’t find you when we were leaving the party,” she shouted, throwing her hands up in frustration. “I called you about a hundred times. I thought something had happened to you.”

I really should have checked my messages. I hung my head with guilt, not really wanting to look at her face that was filled with disappointment. “I-I’m sorry.”

Gwen sighed loudly, putting her hands on her hips, tilting her head toward the ceiling. “It’s alright. It’s just that you have never been to a party before, and I shouldn’t have left you.”

“It was expected.” As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt kind of bad; Gwen’s lips turned into a frown. Gwen felt bad when I brought up the fact that I’m always at home alone or our parents really don’t care about me that much because she often tried to ignore it. “I m-mean, it was a party. I expected you to go off and have fun.” I didn’t expect her to take Neal with her.

Gwen looked at me with an unreadable expression before coming over to me and pulling me into a hug. I haven’t gotten a hug from Gwen since I was at least 10 or so. I was so shocked I just stood there as she hugged me. I felt like I was being rude not returning it, so I lifted a hand and patted her awkwardly on the back.

“So, what really happened? Where were you?”

I didn’t want to tell her that Nolan had spiked my drink, or about what Danika had done, or the fact that Olivia had left me alone for a few moments because then, all hell would break loose. So, I thought on my feet.

“Uh, w-well Olivia had a f-few drinks, and I didn’t think it was safe f-for her to drive home, so I-I took her.” I swallowed trying to keep my stutter in check otherwise she would surely know I was lying.
