"I had fun today," Trevor smiles at me. Trevor and I skipped school and went to a couple different places. We went to the movies and walked around downtown, ate lunch and dinner at fast food restaurants, it was amazing. Just what I needed to get my mind off my sins.

"So did I, thanks for taking me out today," I thank him, sincerely.

"No problem. I'll see you tomorrow, love you." I freeze, I was fine all day with Trevor, not thinking about the last weekend or anything, but right when he says those three words everything comes crashing back.

"Love you too," I whisper almost inaudible. Trevor begins to lean in and the guilt consumes me once again. "I'll see you tomorrow."

I fumble with the handle before pushing it open and stumbling out. I don't look back as I walk up to the front door. Once in the safe confines of my house, I lean against the back of the door and close my eyes, taking deep breaths.

"Guilty?" Jackson's voice makes me snap my eyes open. He stands with his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk across his face.

"What are you talking about?" I play dumb, I still don't know if he knows about what happened between Colten and I. And by no means do I want to be the one to tell him.

"Don't play 'miss innocent'", he narrows his eyes at me.

"I'm not. I honestly don't know what your talking about." I shake my head at him not wanting to believe the truth, that he sure as hell knows.

"Oh please, anyone with eyes could tell that you and Colten fucked on Friday," he sneers. I blush at the use of the word. I've always liked when Colten used dirty words like that, but my brother saying them is just uncomfortable and gross.

"That's not true," I deny.

"That's funny, because Colten confirmed it on Saturday." Damn him. Of course, Colten would be stupid enough to tell my older, protective, brother that. I may be almost eighteen, but I don't think Jackson is ever going to change.

"Fine. I admit it, now what do got want?" I huff. The only way to not break down into tears in front of my brother is to act snobbish and irritate the shit out of him.

"Want to know if you feel anything? Maybe, hmm lets see...guilt?" I could just strangle him. I mean this in the most loving way.

"Nope. Colten's nothing to me, I love Trevor that's why I'm with him," I tell him matter of factly.

"You love Trevor don't you? Then why did you sleep with dear Colten?" His cockiness is really getting under my skin. That's what he wants, though, to get under my skin and get information out of me.

"Because I was drunk and wasn't thinking correctly, so if we're done with the interrogation," I roll my eyes. "I'm going to go to bed."

I start to walk towards the stairs, bypassing my brother and take the first step.

"I had Mrs. Mathews invite Trevor over for Thanksgiving, I hope you don't mine." I can practically see his smirk.

"Of course not," I reply with no hostility. I walk up the stairs, getting into my room where I grab my pillow and scream into it.

Jackson can be such an asshat at times. All I want is to forget about that day, better yet I want that day to have never have happened. It would make this a whole lot easier.

•••

The week moves by fast. Not much homework is given out due to it being the last week until Thanksgiving break.

Once Friday rolls around I'm beyond happy. School it cut short, a half day, because most kids won't be here anyways. Most people are traveling around so we always have a half day the last day.

Currently, Brittni is laying on my bed, her head hanging off the side and her phone in front of her face where she fiercely taps against the screen.

"Your brother is so sexy when he's mad," Brittni wiggles her eyebrows at me.

"Umm, I really don't care," I tell her and go back to painting my toe nails. I know, why am I painting my toe nails in the winter? Well, I hate looking at plain nails so I always paint them. It's a weird condition I have.

Brittni screams all of a sudden making my paint brush jerk onto my skin. I groan and grab my nail polish remover.

"Jackson said James is having a party tonight!" Brittni squeaks and falls on the floor. She lays face first on the carpet.

"And this is exciting because...?" I question and go back to painting my nails.

"Everybody is going to be there," she looks at me like I'm deranged.

"Whose everybody?"

"Dustin, Colten, Tristan and them, Angelique, oh and Jake!" Whose Jake?

"Okay?"

"Your coming with, you've been cooped up in the house all week, you need to have some fun," she demands.

"Brittni," I whine. "I really don't want to go to James's party."

"Why? You can't hide from Colten forever," she states smugly.

"I'm not hiding from him," I scoff. I'm not! It's not like he's come over or anything, plus, after I blocked him on Monday, I don't think he would be trying anymore. Yes, I blocked him. First step to getting over your child hood crush and ex-boyfriend.

"You so are! But don't worry, I'm going to help got. We are going to make you look super hot and-"

"No. Brittni, I really don't want to. And I don't need to look 'super hot' either. I'm not trying to get a point across to him. I've told you this before, I. Don't. Want. Him. Anymore." I can't shake the sting in my chest at saying these words.

"Nikki, I understand that you don't want him anymore, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want you. Colten is having a hard time, and I know you are too-"

"No I'm not. You don't get it, Brittni, he was everything to me at one point. Key word being one. Those feelings faded throughout the years and I want to be with someone who cares for me. Trevor cares for me. He would never do what Colten did to me. Sleeping with Colten last Friday was a mistake, it never should've happened. So can we please, please forget it happened," I beg.

I'm already struggling enough with keeping it bottled in and hid from Trevor. But if he found out it would crush him. I've never cheated on anybody before and I hate the way it feels, it consumes my every being and its tiering, especially with everyone towering over me. I don't need their inputs on
everything I do in my life. Hurtful and harsh? Yes, truth hurts, though.

"I don't think it healthy to keep it all in, but if you insist. I can pretend it never happened. But please come to the party with me, I feel like we haven't hung out in forever," she pouts. She's so stupid, though, she is a blonde in more ways than one.

"Brittni, we're hanging out right now."

"You know what I mean. So what do you say, come to the party with me?" She sticks out her bottom lip, and widens her eyes.
How can you say no to that face?

"Fine," I groan. She squeaks and we immediately get to work.

She does my make up and hair. Taking forever, per usual.

I let her pick out my outfit also and am very pleased with the outcome.

She ends up picking out a skin tight, royal blue dress with a sweet heart neckline that reaches mid thigh. There's a royal blue ribbon under neath the bust and the fabric is sparkly over the neckline. I pick a pair of white heels and look at myself in the mirror.

My hair is wavy and reaches to my waist, I have two diamond earrings in each ear and my nose ring in.

I haven't worn it since Jackson came back due to him probably having a heart attack. It's pretty cute, just a small diamond stud.

I have white eye shadow on and winged eyeliner on both eyes along with mascara and filled in eyebrows. My freckles are fully visible showing that she didn't use concealer.

Then the dress, it's beautiful, it hugs all my curves and even with my average breasts the dress looks perfect. My long legs really show against the blue and I immediately feel very confident.

"You look amazing," Brittni gushes. She's wearing a smiliar dress, but in purple, her hair is shorter than mine, just below her bust and is straightened with a poof in the back. She wears minimal make up and looks just as amazing.

"So do you," I compliment, she smiles and checks her phone.

"Oh, we have to go." We head out to her car, supposedly Jackson went over to James earlier to help set up, so Brittni will be driving herself.

I place my phone in my strapless bra as we pull up to James's. It's already packed. Strobe lights streak through the window, the different colors making my eyes hurt.

The bass of the music thumps through the house even outside.

"Let's get our party on!" Brittni cheers and we walk up to the house.

Ready for an interesting night?
