wait whose number is this?
*Oh, Jakes. He gave me a ride from the party so I guess I’m just gonna stay with Cara tonight. C ya
As I read the lie she’s trying to tell, I am speechless. First off, I know her and Jake have something going on. Second of all, she text me from his phone . Third, she lied and told me she was staying with Cara when I know for a fact that Cara is staying at Jason’s. Why would Jess hide this? I personally think it is awesome. I lay in bed thinking about Cash and if he is still in jail, Jess and Jake, are they dating? Just sleeping together? And most of all , I think about my dad. In seventeen years, I have never seen my dad so angry with me. I know I’ve disappointed him and I think I feel guiltier about that than anything.
CHAPTER 6
Saturday morning comes too soon. I wake up and immediately don’t feel well. My head hurts and I feel like I have been in an accident. I slide out of bed and decide that a shower is what would help me. I get in and it feels wonderful. I start to relax under the hot water. My mind automatically goes to everything that happened las t night. I keep replaying everything in my head. I am angry at Cameron for trying to take advantage of me. I know he was drunk too, but I still feel like he was trying to get me to do more than I would have if I hadn’t been drinking. I am angry at Jess for hiding the fact that she was with Jake. This , I don’t understand. I think they w ould make a great couple. I mean, I wouldn’t put them together , but they’re both great people. If they like each other, they should go for it. I’m mad at Cash because after everything that went on last night and he ended up arrested, he acted like it was no big deal. But most of all, I’m mad at myself for putting myself in this position. Everything bad that happened was because of me.
When the water turns cool, I realize that I can’t make any of this better. I have to deal with my dad sometime today. I think he has a meeting this morning though. I decide that I am going to get dressed and find out when he is leaving, and then I’m going to Cash’s house. I have to try to make this up to him.
As I get out of the shower and wrap myself in a towel, I have a sinking feeling in my stomach, what if he doesn’t want to talk to me? Well, I have to find out one way or another. I can’t stand the guilt I feel right now. I go to my closet and tr y to decide what to wear. It looks like it is jeans and a hoodie kind of day. So , I throw on my clothes and head down stairs. Eli is on the couch watching SWAT for the millionth time. I’ll give him this though , I have also been known to watch it a lot because of Colin Ferrell.
“Hey, where are mom and dad?”
“Dad is at his meeting and mom went grocery shopping , ” h e answers without looking away from the TV .
“Well, I’ll be back in a little bit, I have to go talk to someone , ” I say as I walk over to the door.
“You’d better hurry, dad sounded ticked this morning.”
“What did he say?” I asked.
“Nothing to me, but I heard him tell mom that you will learn your lesson and he is going to make sure of that.”
“Great, ” I mumble.
“What the heck did you do anyway? I haven’t heard him that mad since I was playing ball in the house and broke the living room window.”
“We will talk later, I gotta go now , ” I say as I walk out the door.
As I drive over to that side of tow n , I keep thinking that I wish I could get him something to say thank you/sorry. It dawns on me that I don’t know that much about him. I know he likes to work on his car , but I don’t know anything about cars, so there goes that idea. Wait a minute, I
