Shits Hit The Fan
"I have loved deeply, I have lost intensely. I will never love again. I get that love by the people who care for me."
Lilah
I put on my underwear and pants in a rush so I can get to dinner on time. Where the hell is my shirt? "Dude where's my shirt?" The guy whose name I think is James gets up out of the bed and starts looking for my shirt. "Ah found it." He throws it at me and I mumble a thanks. I put on my shoes jumping on one leg and then the other. "We should do this again sometime." He pulls up his boxers and plops on the bed. "I'll call you bye!" I leave out of his room and out his house.
I make it to my car and check the time on my phone. '7:08 pm' Fuck I'm gonna be late. I quickly put on my seat belt and I drive recklessly back home. I definitely wasn't gonna call that guy again. I don't do casual sex because feelings get involved, and I don't need that. He was a good fuck though.
I soon pull into the garage of the building and run out out of my car and to the elevator. I stand there tapping my foot waiting for it to stop at the fourth floor. Once it stops I bolt down the hall of all the apartment doors stopping at ours. I open the door and luckily I'm not late again. "It's about damn time. What the hell were you doing?" Ryan asks as he sets the table for dinner. I roll my eyes and walk past him to me and Taylors room. "Back so soon? Was he that bad?" Taylor asks as she comes out the closet with a towel on.
"Actually he was pretty pleasing, I had to be here by eight so I had to leave." She nods and starts changing her clothes. I put on some fresh clothes and deodorant since I ran here. "Oliver should be through with dinner so we should hurry up." I nod at her and leave the room. "Lilah, your just on time, dinner is ready." He sets down a steak on each plate along with mashed potatoes and asparagus. He really can cook.
"Alright let's eat!" Ryan says as he sits down beside me. Taylor comes and sits next to Olly and we all start to eat. "Oliver I never get enough of your cooking, do you put crack in this?" Taylor asks and Olly rolls his eyes. "So Lils where were you?" Ryan asks with a smug look on his face. "A girl has needs Ryan, not that you would be able to satisfy them." I smirk, Taylor laughs and Olly chokes on his food.
"Oh I can do more than satisfy Rose just try me."
"Oh bite me." I roll my eyes.
"Kinky? I like it."
He stares at me and I stare back. Then all four of us laugh. "Dumbass," Olly mutters and Taylor smacks his head. "Watch your mouth, young man." " I'm older than you." Olly deadpans. Taylor winks at him and continues eating. "Anyways, are you guys ready for orientation tomorrow?" I ask them and they all start shouting like apes. "Guys we're gonna be freshmen tomorrow. I'm shitting bricks." Olly says with fake worry and we all look at him with straight faces. "Says Mr. Popular in high school." Taylor rolls her eyes and Olly steals some of her mashed potatoes.
"Guys we're gonna be fine, if someone gives you trouble just tell me and I'll handle it," Ryan says with a grin that makes him look ridiculous. "By handle do you mean fuck them up?" Taylor asks and Ryan nods. "What did you think I meant, give them candy and lollipops?" "Shut up." She mumbles and starts messing with Olly.
"We'll be fine, plus we have most of the same classes so we'll be together most of the time." They nod in agreement. Tomorrow we have orientation and our first day of college. We've been in Los, Angeles for about 3 months, ever since we graduated from high school. It's been almost a full year since he who shall not be named left. I'm over it, it's in the past. You live, get hurt, learn, and move on. So I moved on.
Now I have a family. I look at Taylor who is sticking asparagus up Olly's nose and Ryan films them. Yeah, I have a very weird and dysfunctional family but I wouldn't change it. After we finish eating we sit at the table staring at each other.
"1,2,3 not it!
"Not it!"
"Not it!''
Ryan, Olly, and I say it and Taylor groans and rolls her eyes. Whoever was the last one to say it has to wash the dishes? Ryan gets up laughing at Taylors annoyance and goes to his room, and Olly follows after him. "Lilahhh your the most beautiful person on the planet." Taylor walks up to me and grabs my hands. I know what she's trying to do and it won't work.
***
Ok, it worked. I stand at the sink helping Taylor wash the dishes while she smiles and I glare at her. She knows I can never say no, I aim to please. "You the best friend ever," Taylor tells me as she dries the plates and puts them away. "I know."
We finish cleaning and we decide to go see what the boys are up to. We walk into their room and we see Olly crying and Ryan staring at the TV screen with his mouth agape. I look at the TV and they're watching The Originals. Their at the scene when Hayley is killed. "Damn shits hit the fan huh?" Taylor laughs and they stare at her. "Y'all are so damn dramatic my god." They argue with me and Taylor just stands there taking pictures of Olly's crying face. Of course, if you were watching it the first time you would cry, but we have all watched this show over ten times so their being a bit dramatic.
Between our bickering and laughing we suddenly hear a loud knock on the door. We stop and look at each other suspiciously. Ryan and I grab the guns from behind his dresser and under his bed and we walk to the front door. Taylor and Olly beside us we hear another loud knock. I go to the door and put my hand on the handle while Ryan stands to the side. I open the door and point the gun to the person standing there but then I quickly put it away. We all groan in relief when we see it's only Dad, well Viper.
"Well hello to you all." He says sarcastically and shuts the door. "We thought you were someone else dude, why are you knocking this late?" Ryan asks as he takes my gun and puts it back in place. "I was bored." Viper shrugs and sits on the couch. "The fucker was lonely I bet." Taylor laughs and Olly nudges her shoulder to stop. "Father if you're bored then go to a bar or go do something normal people your age do." He rolls his eyes at me and sighs. "Are you gonna leave or what?" Ryan asks as he walks back into the room and stands by me. "Have some manners boy, just because your Lilah's friend doesn't mean I won't shoot you right in your ballsack." Ryan gulps and puts both hands up in surrender. Taylor laughs and calls Ryan a wimp.
"Lilah when are you gonna start dating, I want grandkids," Viper says and I start cringing. Taylor goes quiet and Olly looks at me as if waiting for me to explode. "I won't be dating anytime soon and I'm definitely not having kids." I take a breath and Taylor starts talking to Olly again while Ryan stands still beside me. "At least you aren't with that prick Bar anymore." I look at him and I close my eyes and ball my hands into fists. I hear Taylor pushing Viper out and shutting the door before coming to me.
"Lils are you okay?" Ryans asks while he grabs my shoulder turning me to him. I slowly open my eyes after taking a deep breathe and I smile. "I'm fine.'' Ryan and Taylor let out the air they were holding in and wiped imaginary sweat off their foreheads. "You won't see him again so don't think about it." Olly says and he spits out the word 'him' with venom. They hate him as much as I do. Even Ryan. "I know I won't, I'm fine I promise." He smiles at me and then Taylor snorts making us all laugh.
"Anyways who's up for movie night!?'' Taylor shouts and we all agree sitting on the couch. Olly makes the popcorn and sits by Taylor while Ryan sits by me. We decided to watch Guardians of The Galaxy 2. Again. We watch that movie 3 times a week at least for some reason. Once the movie starts I pull the throw blanket over my lap since I'm wearing shorts and it's cold as fuck.
Olly's words ring through my mind. "You won't see him again." Of course, I know I won't but for some reason, I have a really bad feeling. I have a feeling that the peace we have created is gonna be disrupted soon. I'm probably just paranoid so I shake those thoughts out of my mind and pay attention to the movie. Ryan lets me lean on his shoulder while Taylor puts her head in my lap and her legs on Olly's. We laugh at Drax trying to stab the alien from the inside.
"Lilah if we were in that movie you know who you would be?" Ryan asks and I shake my head no. "You would be the alien." I slap his head and he lets out a laugh. "Ryan shut the fuck up," Taylor yells and I laugh. "I hate you, Ryan." He looks at me and rolls his eyes playfully. "No, you don't." I smile because I know he's right. I love all of them no matter what. I just hope our newfound peace stays in place.
