Chapter Fifteen
Little Talks
I decided to go to my house before going to Nealâs. I walked the whole way because no oneâs house was too far away from each otherâs in this neighborhood and I needed time to clear my head before speaking with Neal.
When I got there, my sisterâs 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 wasnât for my parentâs sake but more for my sisterâs. My parents probably didnât 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 didnât get a foot up on a step before I heard Gwen growl from behind me. âWhere in the hell have you been?â she snapped.
I cringed for the second time, slowly swiveling around to face her. âI-I was uhâ¦â Good thing Gwen started ranting before I could even finish.
âI was worried when I couldnât find you when we were leaving the party,â she shouted, throwing her hands up in frustration. âI called you about a hundred times. I thought something had happened to you.â
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. âI-Iâm sorry.â
Gwen sighed loudly, putting her hands on her hips, tilting her head toward the ceiling. âItâs alright. Itâs just that you have never been to a party before, and I shouldnât have left you.â
âIt was expected.â As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt kind of bad; Gwenâs lips turned into a frown. Gwen felt bad when I brought up the fact that Iâm always at home alone or our parents really donât care about me that much because she often tried to ignore it. âI m-mean, it was a party. I expected you to go off and have fun.â I didnât 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 havenât 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.
âSo, what really happened? Where were you?â
I didnât 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.
âUh, w-well Olivia had a f-few drinks, and I didnât think it was safe f-for her to drive home, so I-I took her.â I swallowed trying to keep my stutter in check otherwise she would surely know I was lying.
