That Girl

Chapter 19

That girl's secret

I had on the widest of grins as I bounced cheerily to my front porch. I even twirled around a little, nibbling at my lower lip, humming to the next great tune that entered my head. I must be mad, I thought. Manic, deranged, completely mental even. But I didn't care. If I had to be mental to be this happy, I'd give up my sanity in a heartbeat. I slowly opened my room door, stealthy sneaking in, careful not to wake anyone.

"Where've you been?!" A voice hissed in the darkness and before I knew what was happening my reading lamp fell to the floor taking with it a few books. Then, the lights came on.

"Oh my gosh Tay! Were you trying to give me a heart attack?! " I whispered clutching my chest. I stayed quiet for a moment, listening to make sure the noise hadn't woken my parents.

Nothing...

I sighed. They must be really tired.

"What are you doing here? " I asked, dropping my backpack as quietly as I could and sliding out of his jacket.

It's mine now.

My face heated up.

"You never answered my question." Taylor growled lowly.

My eyes narrowed into slits, taking in his features as I did. A frown permanently etched the corner of his mouth, eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

Gee, what crawled up his eyes and died?

"Not that it's any of your business, but I was with Edward. Now wh-"

"Fuck! I knew it!"

"Taylor! " My eyes widened, perplexed by his language.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Mackenzie!"

Mackenzie? Swear words? This seemed serious...

"Lower your voice Taylor... What's gotten into you?"

"I should be asking you the same thing Kenny... " He scoffed. "You used to be better than this."

"Better than what?! I bloody don't have a clue what's going on!"

"What where you doing with Edward at this time of the night?"

"What are you? Dad?"

"Stop fucking joking and answer the damn question!"

"Stop cursing and using that tone with me Taylor " I threatened angrily, tired of having this stupid back and forth with him when I didn't even know what he was all about.

"Are you blind Kenny?! Can't you see Edward's using you?"

I blinked twice, stepping back in shock. I didn't respond immediately, but when I did, my voice was low and dangerous.

"What do you mean? "

He threw his arms up in exasperation.
"Edward Harris is fucking using you and you're so guillbe, eating it all up like some lost puppy. Why else would he be hanging out with you if he's not trying to win a bet or something?"

His words hit me and it hit me hard. I glared at him, noticing his features soften as he approached me. I couldn't be close to him right now because there was no telling what I would do.

"Get out."

He halted in his steps and sighed looking apologetic, "Look Kenny, I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I was just... It's just you have no idea what goes on in the boys loc-"
