"Bye, Reuben." I hugged him tight. I was going to miss this little boy. Carlos was dropping him back off to his mom's house. He was the only one who could actually put a smile on my face while I was feeling sad. 

Later, helping my mother in the kitchen, she pulled me out of my thoughts by saying, "What's wrong, hun?"

"Nothing. Why?" I looked over at her, trying to smile. Could she tell I was upset?

"You looked sad at the dinner table, and you look sad right now," she responded. "Everything okay?"

Oh, yeah. I was just humiliated and hurt by Colton, who I have feelings for but who doesn't feel the same in any way. But I'm not going to tell you that, Mom.

But I wished I could. I wished I could talk to my mom about these feelings. She would tell me exactly what to do. But in this situation, no way in hell could I tell her.

"Yeah, I'm okay," I lied, with a reassuring smile. She looked over to me and nodded.

"Hey, Elise." A voice I recognized and didn't want to hear anytime soon: Alexis.

She walked through the kitchen door with her bag on her back and smiled sweetly at my mother. Great. Alexis was staying for the night; could this get any worse?

"Hey, hun. Colton's up in his room," my mom replied, smiling at her.

I couldn't look at Alexis didn't even want to be around her. I needed to get out of here. "Hey, I forgot I have this project I have to do over at Chris's, so I'm going to stay at his tonight," I told my mother. No way was I going to stay here with Alexis and Colton right next door. I wouldn't be able to handle it.

"But hun, it's a school night," she responded.

"Well, we’re going to be working late tonight, so I may as well stay," I lied.

"Alright. Well, here, I'll give you lunch money for tomorrow," she said, reaching into her purse.

"Thanks, Mom," I said, before walking off. Alexis was still waiting there, probably waiting for me to say hello. Well, you're going to wait a while for that.

Before I got out the door she said, "Hey, Ashlyn." I just ignored her by walking straight past her.

Running up the stairs I quickly packed my clothes for tonight and school tomorrow. I messaged Chris to let him know that I needed to talk to him ASAP and that I'd be over soon.

He quickly messaged back, asking: what’s wrong???

Oh, so much is wrong, Chris.

Closing my door behind me, I stopped. I could hear Alexis through Colton's door.

"What's wrong baby?" she asked him. Would he tell her?

"I just need you," he replied. I heard a slam and a moan.

Oh god. I couldn't run down the stairs any faster. Slamming the door, I didn't even say goodbye. I needed to get out of there. I couldn't believe Colton. After what I'd just told him he invited Alexis over to have sex.

I was so glad I'd left. If I hadn't known she'd come over and I heard them...

I couldn't even think of that right now.
