Ice cream will be our always

Cali's POV

"Get off me!" I was trapped. Those gross hands, were in places I would never like them in. He started laughing like a maniac.

"Awe, sweetheart. None can do that." I knew there was no way to get away. I was pushed against the wall. And my hands were on held above my head. I was shaking with fear.

"Please! Please let me go." I begged. Those scum green eyes were staring at me.

"Why should I?" He moved closer. And then I started screaming and thrashing.

"Help! Please! Someone help me!" I kept my eyes shut. He was shaking me now.

"Cali! I'm here." A voice said. I kept repelling.

"Help! No!"

"Cali! I'm Jay! It's fine. It was just a dream," When I opened my eyes, Jay's worried face was in front of me. I crush him in a hug. With tears lowing out of my eyes, it looked like I was impersonating a fountain.

"It's fine now. It was just a dream. Don't worry." Jay was making an effort to calm me down. After I don't know how long, I was calmed, if you could say so. Jay had pushed me to take a shower. He was being understanding in this situation.

-----------------------------

After the much-needed shower, I got changed into some jeans and a tee. Putting my hair in a bun, I go downstairs for getting my breakfast. Mum was in the kitchen, looking as perfect as always.

She is a petite woman, with long auburn hair with green eyes. She looked perfect without even making an effort. She was a psychologist though now she rarely works. She surely does not look scary but get on her wrong side and she will turn into Momzilla. We definitely got our genes from dad. But the temper, it sure comes from Mum.

"Good morning," I greeted and sat on one of the chairs of the dining table.

"More like good afternoon," Mum replied back.

"I will be in my room so till then please make me some food,I didn't have dinner last night ." I said.

I go for taking out my phone, but do not find it there. Running back to my room, I grab it from the side table. Time was 3 pm. I had slept in for long and that was shocking. Then I notice the messages and missed calls.

23 missed calls from Eva and 34 from Jake. Don't even ask 'bout the messages.

Cali!

Where are u?

Are you there?

Cali!!!!!

Pick up ur phone

Cali!

I'm worried

Hello?

?

?

If this is a sick joke for making me not take you to another party, then I swear to God, I will kill you.

Cali!!!

And much more....... But one of the messages caught my attention.

It did not happen, so don't think about it.

ps.. Take care.

It was from Blake. I call up Eva to inform her that I reached safely. But then I changed my mind and called Jake, cause he is definitely more sensible than her.

1 ring

2 rings

3 rings-

"Hello-"

"Cali! Where the hell were you yesterday? Are you fine? I told you to come to the car at twelve. You could have at least informed us. Did you drink?" He asked all that in a single breath.

"Jake, I'm fine. I came home long back, Blake had dropped me off." I replied. If I had as much as mentioned what had happened earlier, he would kill the person. Though I would love that, I prefer my best friend to stay out of jail, as long as I can help it.

"But Cali-" He starts.

"No buts. Butts are for sitting." I cut him off. Well not him but his sentence.

"I am coming to pick you up. So get ready, I will be there in 20." He said and I could hear some voices in the background.

"I can hear voices back there. Where are you as of now? " I ask in return.

"I am home. You know how Reece is. His friends are here. Anyways I am coming." And with that, the call was ended.

"I see how this is," I say to myself.

"Cali! Pizza!" If you want to catch my attention, that one word will help you the most.

-------------------

20 minutes is an hour in Jake's dictionary. Me being his long time bestie knew that fact quite well. So when Jake showed up, I was ready with only one change in my outfit, the additional black cardigan.

Even I do not care about my dressing, I sure wouldn't like to look like a hobo. Putting on my shoes, I go out of the house and in the car. Coming from a rich family has its own advantages like owning amazing cars. But I wouldn't know that. Ask Jake. My favourite car of his is the Lamborghini Aventador.

"I missed you!" I announce when I buckle up.

"I knew you would miss me," Jake replied.

"Dude, I was talking to my future car, not you. Who would miss a monkey who looks like a chipmunk?" I asked as well as insulted him. He starts the car and we hit the road. Not literally.

"Lady, have you seen me? I think you were talking about yourself." He replied. If he thinks he can win this, he sure is wrong.

"Dude, I would slap you but that would be animal abuse." I insulted right back.

"Did you come on T.V? Cause I am sure I saw you on Animal Planet."

"I was gonna give you a nasty look, but it seems like you already have one."

"If you spoke your mind, you would be speechless."

"I get so emotional when you are not around. That emotion is called happiness."

"Mirrors can't talk and luckily for you, they can't laugh."

"Roses are red, violets are blue. I was born beautiful, what the hell happened to you?"

"I'm not saying I hate you, but I would unplug your life supply to charge my phone."

"You bring everyone a lot of joy when you leave the room."

"Somewhere out there is a tree, tirelessly producing oxygen so you can breathe. I think you owe it an apology."

"Why don't you slip into something comfortable, like a coma."

"Shock me, say something intelligent."

"You are so fat when you wear a yellow coat, people scream 'taxi'"

"Why don't you shut up and give that hole in your face a chance to heal."

"You so ugly when who were born the doctor threw you out the window and the window threw you back!"

"Fine! I quit, you win. Anyhow, we are going for some ice cream." Jake, at last, commits to his failure.

I came to realize that the car had stopped, and we were parked near an ice cream parlor. Any person who declines an ice cream is not sane. I can assure you that much. We enter inside and after ordering we sat on one of the 2-people table.

"So, why the generosity?" I ask him.

"Can't a best friend treat his bestie without her getting suspicious?" He asks innocently.

"Nope. Now tell me what happened."

"Cali, you are like my younger sister. And you know I worry about you and Eva a lot. So tell me why Blake Sanders is showing a special interest in you?"

"Fine. I will start speaking but don't play the emotional card on me. But first! Go get me my ice cream." I know there is no use arguing with these people.

"Ice cream?" He asks.

"Ice cream." I replied.

"Maybe Ice cream will be our always."

"Now run along and get it." I scold him.

"Two ice creams and a hella big story coming up!"
