Changes all around you
It´s been two weeks since Chase disappeared, since Caleb ascended and received his father´s Power. The Sons of Ipswich had another night at Nicky´s and Reid spent his time right where he belonged: at the pool table, beating his opponent. Fair or with the help of supernatural gifts was non of his opponent´s business, because they didn´t have a clue. Spencer´s elite didn´t get suspicious, luckily, with all the stories being told about the four of them.
Hadn´t it been for Sarah and Kate rumors would have spread.
Where did Chase go?
They had to make up a story, another lie in their already shady lives. The barn burnt down and the meds took him with them to Gloucester Medical Center, but he never came back to attend Spencer again.
Tyler sipped at his Coke as laughter echoed through the bar and made him look up. He saw Reid holding a cue in his right hand and holding the other out, expecantly. Then he rcognized Aaron to be the one Reid was laughing at, handing the blonde a few bucks as his mate´s face fell.
„You are aware of that these are only half of your bet, Abbot." Reid sighed, getting ready.
„You want more, you pretty blonde Backstreet Boy? Then bring it on!" , Aaron provoked the way he knew got to Reid immediately. And it worked out again.
Reid dropped the cue he was holding with a bang that forced everyone´s gazes at him and launched at the other player.
Pogue was the first to take a hold of the raging brother and tore the wrestling knot on the ground apart.
„Still can´t end a fight properly, mate." Aaron spat out, along with blood that now dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Reid fought Pogue one last time before he finally relaxed, aware to the fact that his brother was stronger.
Dragging Reid along Pogue led them outside the bar and faced the younger one on the parking lot.
„ What´s your problem with Aaron getting on you like that?" As Reid didn´t care to answer he continued. „It´s always the same. You cheating and he not paying his dues, but...what the hell?" Parry glared , but the blonde only watched the floor and didn´t bother to look up when finally growling.
„I didn´t Use. I won fair this time."
The door burst open ad Tyler joined them.
„Is everything all right?"
„Yup. Everything´s fine, Baby Boy." Reid spoke up, patted both of his friends on their shoulders before he walked in again. Abondoned on the parking lot Pogue and Tyler stood there for a while until Tyler cut the silence. „Do you feel this? Something is strange this time..."
The older one looked at Tyler a questioning look on his face. Then Tyler´s face lit up. „Caleb! He didn´t go after Reid at all!"
„You´re right! Maybe he didn´t notice the fight..." the statement was responded by a you-don´t-believe-it-yourself look.
„Okay!", he flew his hands up „It´s weird."
„It is, man. Now let´s go back inside, have some fun for the rest of the night, are you in?"
„Yeah!" They high-fived and had already forgotten about the not-caring Caleb as they entered Nikki´s again.
The night went by and most of the guests were gone.
Caleb and Sarah along with Pogue and Kate went to the dorms since they had been slightly buzzed up.
Tyler stopped the black Hummer in front of the boy´s dorms.
„You can do ahead. I´ll just drop off by the lake." Reid smiled at the brunette, who unbuckled his seatbelt.
„Now? It´s almost three, Reid. We´ve got classes tomorrow, you know that, don´t you?" concerned he stepped out of the car and locked it not letting his gaze go off the blonde, who was waiting calmy at the other side of the vehicle.
„I know, Ty. I just need some...Reid-Time. Okay?"
Tyler nodded, hesitated and eventually walked toward the dorms into the night. Reid looked after his best friend before he wandered down to the lake in a fast pace.
Reid looked up to the moon, but didn´t see it´s pale beauty. He saw another face form in front of his inner eye.
Why had these chocolate brown eyes to be so addictive?
The hair so calling to be carded through?
The pale skin so perfectly flawless?
Tese lips so...pink, seductive...screaming for him to kiss them?
Why was he in love with Tyler?
Reid sighed depressed when he heard steps come near.
