Bailey's pov" Finally showed up Mira?" Ryan teased. There's a long wooden table separating the two, and on its surface is a line of cups filled to the brim with alcohol. The pungent scent is stale in the air, making my nose twitch." Now aren't you sweet to wait for me to start the game?" Mira's smile beamed brightly. She walked up to the table, called us over and taunted Ryan. "Let's begin shall we?"With a tilt of his head and a grin appearing on his face, Ryan nod while darting his eyes over everyone surrounding the table. " What do you say guys? Ready to play truth or dare?" The others cheer while Katrina and I gave each other nervous glances. We all knew how this game works, we've seen it first hand. Whatever you choose, truth or dare.....it wouldn't matter. All that mattered would be going through with it and not chickening out. If you do, then off with your hair!You'd be shaved bald. The way they play it had been done for years and passed down through generations. Only th
Bailey's povLong night indeed. As the giggles surged around us, Mirabella and Ryan seem to be too lost in their staring contest to realize the time was up. " Why don't you two just bone and get it over with!" Stefan yelled beside me, chuckling when he managed to break their stares. Mira quickly pulled her hand out, her face flushed as she looked at the floor. She bumped into Gracie on her way back here and didn't bother apologizing. " Oh God this was embarrassing." She whispered, shame written on her face and printed on her words. Katrina snorted. " I don't know, it seemed like you both were enjoying from here." Mira flushed red, stuttering before she muttered shut up. Katrina laughed while I try to comfort Mira. " Everyone is drunk, they'd probably not remember a thing after tonight." Mira twisted her face. " They took pictures. That dirty bitch Kirsty is going to embarrass me with them." I smiled sadly, unsure of what to say knowing she was right. Kirsty would certainly us
Bailey's pov" I can't believe you called the cops on the kids last night, Blake." Mom snorted in a hushed tone. I stopped abruptly on the last stair and listened to the two talk. " Technically I called my mom. It's not like anyone would've gotten arrested. Just to scare them off." Dad's response made my jaw drop. Did my dad really call grandma Ryn last night to stop the party? I bit my bottom lip, not sure if to laugh or not. His intervene, well grandma Ryn's intervene I should say, did save me last night. If it were not for them I'd not be able to get out of the stupid game. I smiled and continued on my path to the kitchen where both of my parents are. Dad is seated around the island, sipping on some steaming coffee, while mom is cutting up some fruits. When they noticed my presence mom sent me a sheepish smile while dad looked away. " Good morning." I greeted. " Good morning baby. Did you have a good night rest? You look tired." Mom worried her bottom lip between her teeth.
Bailey's povThis was not how I imagined my Saturday morning to be like. I expected to be chilling and watching a show. Maybe even visit Mira. Not this. Kaleb and Stefan fighting? Did Kaleb go to Stefan's home to fight him? If so, why?" What are you talking about Mira? Why are they fighting?" I rushed out, scanning around my room for my shoes. " I am not sure, Ryan didn't tell me. He just said I should go over there because they are still arguing and Kaleb won't listen to him. Stefan's house is like a fifteen minute drive from here, I won't get there soon enough. Can you, can you go please? You're closer." Even though Mira and her brother do not get along as much, she still care for him. Which is why her voice is so full of worry right now. I nod instantly. " I will. I'll call you when I get there okay?" " Thanks Bailey. I'm going to ask dad to drop me off." Her voice is now coating with relief and we both bid our goodbyes, promising to meet at Stefan's. As I placed my shoe on
Bailey's povMy eyes widened in shock. "What?" I whispered as his gaze bored into mine. His expression was a mixture of hurt, anger and betrayal. What the hell is he talking-Oh. The dare. Stefan, still being held by Kaleb spoke up. " I keep fucking telling him it was just a dare." Kaleb's eyes darken and he whipped back around, and was just about to lung for Stefan again when I grabbed his arm. " I let him." I whispered, clutching his arm tighter. He stiffens by my words. " He didn't lie, it was a dare. But we didn't really kiss." I added when I felt the anger roll off of him in waves. " It didn't look like you two didn't really kiss Bailey." "Well we didn't." I gritted my teeth, now feeling frustrated that he was mad because of the dare. Stefan and I didn't even kiss! " And if we did, it shouldn't be any of your concern Kaleb," I let his arm go. Kaleb snapped to face me, a chilling glare on his face. I stood my ground and lifted my chin up. " You have no right to barge in
Bailey's povThough his words made my heart raced, the doubt clouded my feelings and made me scowl. " Right. Then you have a funny way of showing it." I pushed off him and rest my palm on his chest to push away from him fully, but he gripped both my wrists this time and prevented me to. " Let me explain everything Bailey." His tone is soft with a plea that almost melted my resolve, but I refuse to be weakened so quickly. " Kaleb-" Please. I know the way I left wasn't right-" You damn right it wasn't!" I snapped, my face flushing with irritation. His eyes pleaded with me to listen, to understand, but the frustration still lingered in my chest painfully. " Flower, it's really not what you think." I shook my head, trying to rip myself out his hold. " This is what any guilty person say to plead their case." I snorted out a dry laugh. Kaleb winced and let out a breath, but he didn't release his grip on my wrists. "I messed up, Bailey. I'm not denying that, but I need you to hear me
Bailey's povHer eyes are glued to Kaleb and me, especially on his hand. I know this looked rather intimate so I had no idea how to explain this. Good thing Kaleb had quick thinking. " I think I got rid of it." he uttered loud enough for Mira to hear while brushing his hand down my back as though there was something there that shouldn't have been. He takes a step back, looking over at his sister. " What are you doing here?" He questioned her, clearly want to stray her thoughts away from where it had drifted off to. Mira bounced her gaze between us, the tilt of accusation on her face as she takes a step forward. " The better question is why were you two in that position?" My stomach twisted and I know I may have to come up with an excuse or confess. But I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to, fearing that this would be the end of our friendship." There was a tiny spider on her clothes, I was simply getting it off," Kaleb shrugged, strutting forward and acting neutral. I am jealou
Bailey's povThe ride was uncomfortable. It wasn't silent because Mira kept questioning about Stefan and what had triggered Kaleb to fight his friend, but his answers were so blunt and clipped that it made everyone feel uneasy. So after a bit, Mira decided to keep her mouth shut and looked out the window just as I did. They dropped me off first and as I bid the two goodbye I noticed Kaleb was too upset to even look at me. My stomach twisted. I didn't mean to make him feel bad, I had just said those words to Mira to get her off my back. I didn't mean them at all. I frowned, feeling the awful sinking feeling in my tummy as I watch them drive off. He didn't horn like he normally did when he dropped me off and I knew for certain that I had really upset him. I needed to fix this. I pulled out my phone and looked down at the screen, squinting as the sunlight casted a glow. I chewed my lips. I can text him but I wasn't sure if Mira would happen to see it. So I made up my mind. I'd wa
