A/N: Ok so here's the next chapter. Sorry that my updates might be a little later than usual because I'm in the middle of reading the Twilight series my Stephenie Meyer and I can't book the book down, it's amazing! If you haven't read the books, I definitely recommend it. Also thank you for all the comments, they make my day. Enjoy!
Chapter 6
Sasha pulled into the parking space reserved for her brother's Porsche and Reid parked the Hummer when they arrived at the house once again. They both got out of their cars at the same time but Sasha avoided any eye contact and swiftly walked up the stairs to enter her home. Awkward much? Reid decided not to hover over her so he kept his distance but he couldn't help but look at her. I'm becoming such a pussy. Sasha left the door open but followed the sound of muffled voices in the living room and was soon bombarded with hugs and an "I'm sorry" parade.
"Really Sasha I didn't think you would get this upset," Pogue was hugging her sideways. Sasha just shook her head giving everyone a half smile. Reid then walked in leaning against the back of the couch still keeping some distance away from Sasha.
"I should be the one apologizing. I overreacted."
"No," Kate interrupted, "you have every right to be upset. It was dumb and stupid."
"Yea it was," Sasha sighed, "there's just so much going on, my emotions aren't in check. But I accept your apologies as long as you accept mine?"
"Of course, even though again you don't need to apologize," Natasha laughed and gave her friend another hug.
"Just for the record though," Sara started while in the embrace of Caleb, "I didn't bet because I didn't know you."
"Sara's my new best friend," Sasha stated and everyone laughed. She quickly caught Reid's eye but she looked away just as fast and noticed the empty plates. "Well you guys must have not been that upset," Sasha started walking towards the empty dishes, "since you guys ate." She rolled her eyes good naturedly.
"What, you wanted us to die of starvation?" Pogue jokingly said.
"Oh shut up you big baby," Sasha playfully slapped him on the shoulder.
"I think there's some food in the kitchen. The parents went to take care of the funeral arrangements," Tyler stated eyeing Sasha carefully. He didn't get to ask Caleb about why Sasha couldn't be alone; he thought he should wait until the girls were out of the room even though they all knew about their little family secret. But he wasn't sure if Sasha wanted everyone to know her business. Sasha just nodded her head.
"I'm not that hungry, I'll just make a salad. So you guys can go do something, I'm fine now. I promise." The last part was more of Sasha trying to convince herself.
"Well how about the boys go do their thing and us girls will have some girl time," Natasha suggested. And how could Sasha pass up an opportunity like that. She needed to catch up with her two best friends and get to know her new friend as well. What a great distraction.
"Great idea," Kate enthusiastically stated as she linked arms with Sasha and Natasha and started making her way down the hallway to the kitchen. "See ya later, guys," she said over her shoulder. Sara just shook her head and gave Caleb a peck on the lips and then left to catch up with the giggling group.
When the girls entered the kitchen, Sasha headed to the fridge to prepare her salad. Kate and Natasha took seats at the island while Sara stood to the side of the island. They heard the front door close which meant the guys went out to do whatever which was perfect because they could now talk about whatever.
"Ok, now that they're gone. Are you going to answer my previous question from the living room area," Sasha looked towards Natasha while putting the finishing touches on her lunch.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Natasha looked away as if something caught her eye.
"Ooo…I know," Kate said raising her hand as if she was in school.
"Yes, Kate," Sasha said as if she were a teacher.
"Tyler and Natasha went on their first date right before she went on vacation." Natasha hit Kate on the shoulder and gave her a glare while Kate just stuck her tongue out. Sara was laughing a bit in the background while Sasha was staring at her supposed best friend.
"You went out and you didn't even tell me."
"It wasn't really a date," Natasha was shaking her head and looked at Sasha sheepishly. "It was more of a pre-date I guess. This girl was practically stalking him and we made it look like we were going out so she would get off his back. We didn't kiss or anything like that. Plus I don't even know if he likes me." Natasha was blushing a bit.
"Please, girl. The guy could've picked any girl to scare of scary stalker woman and yet he chose you," Kate stated.
"And don't you see the looks he gives you. I mean come on, it's pretty obvious and I haven't even known you guys for that long," Sara finally spoke up. Natasha just gave up her futile attempts of convincing her friends that Tyler was just a friend, even though she wished he was more than that. She quickly changed the topic to the question that she used before to avoid her answer. "And what about Reid, Sasha? We all know the two of you are going to end up together."
"One, it will never happen cause he loves the attention he gets from whores. And two, he doesn't like me like that," Sasha replied while stabbing a piece of her salad. The three other girls just sighed and rolled their eyes.
"No one wonder the two of you are best friends," Kate pointed to the two oblivious girls. "Sasha, you have to know Reid likes you. He treats you way different than those cheap skanks as well as us. I mean he treats us better than those whores but he handles you with more care," Kate said pleadingly and then turned to face Natasha, "and you have to get over this 'I don't think he likes me' crap because he does." Kate huffed a sigh of relief. The two girls didn't say anything, they've heard it before. Natasha of course knew Tyler was going to ask her out sooner or later, it's just frustrating. And Sasha, well, she was just confused with Reid at the moment and didn't want to think about it.
"Let's drop the subject and move onto Sara," Sasha turned to the girl. "I want to know everything about you since you might as well be my sister-in-law." The girls laughed and Sara started sharing stories from her life and they fell back into a comfortable conversation about their own lives.
The guys decided to head over to their usual meeting place to discuss some previous events that have occurred, Sasha's nightmares. They were all sitting in their respective seats which formed a circle.
"Caleb, I want to know what's going on with Sasha." Tyler started since he was still left in the dark about the whole situation earlier today.
Caleb drew a deep breath before he began. "Well she's been having these nightmares which are similar to the ones Sara and Kate were having when…"
"Chase," Pogue shook his head, disgusted that the demon child found new person to torture.
"Yea, we sort of came to the conclusion that he's the culprit. But we're not sure at the moment so I don't want her to be alone in case it is him. The only thing is I don't know how she's going to sleep because these nightmares don't seem to stop."
"Well…when Reid and I were coming back from the airport she slept well with Reid holding her," Tyler stated but was smirking at his friend. Reid only glared back, not sure what to say. Caleb just looked at Reid warily; Reid wasn't really the best thing for Sasha though Sasha would probably be a good thing for Reid.
"Maybe she has to have one of us near and that sort of suppresses anything bad happening," Pogue logically replied.
"I guess we can test that theory tonight. I'll lay with her tonight," Caleb said not really sure if he was comfortable with Reid being so close to his sister.
"What will we do when we find out it's Chase?" Reid questioned wanting the death glares Caleb was shooting at him to subside.
"I guess we'll have to take him down somehow. But for now we'll just focus on what we can do now and wait to see what really is going on." Caleb then got up. "I guess we should head back." The rest of the boys got up as well but Caleb stopped Reid before leaving. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Umm…going back to the house," Reid replied.
"No, I mean with my sister," Caleb got all defensive again.
"Nothing's going on, Caleb. And if something was going on that's her decision, not yours," Reid was about to walk past him but Caleb stopped him again.
"Don't try anything with her. I know you and she's not an object that you can just toss aside at one point. And as much as you like to push my buttons, don't fool around with her because the consequences will be much worse," Caleb gave Reid one final meaningful look and walked out.
"Trust me, I know she's more important than anything," Reid muttered saying to no one since he was the only left in the room.
