Keep reviewing!
A week passed and Lucy, Zach, Kevin and Lily were all hanging out at the Rileys' place.
Zach and Lucy were in the pool, making out, leaving Kevin and Lily alone on the deck talking.
"God, they're so annoying when they do that," Kevin sighed and Lily laughed.
"Hey, they're in love," She said "Leave them alone." She teased and he smiled.
"So, um, what's going on with you and my brother?" He asked and she looked up at him. She'd been dreading having this conversation with Kevin ever since she started hanging out with his older brother, Connor Riley. She and Kevin were just starting to get close again and she didn't want things to be awkward between them because she was dating his older brother.
"Oh, um," She started and he looked at her. "Nothing really, we've just been hanging out a lot lately," She said and he nodded. "Is that weird? You know, since he's your brother?"
"A little," He admitted. "I mean, Connor may be my brother but I know he's not the nicest guy when it comes to girls." He told her and she nodded.
"Well, I wasn't planning on dating him or anything like that," She told him. 'But thanks for looking out for me."
He nodded. "Just make sure that… when it comes to Connor, protect your heart, okay?" He told her and her eyes widened a little.
"Um, yeah, of course," She smiled and wondered why he was being so protective of her.
"I'm gonna go get some more chips," He said, getting up and heading inside.
She felt her phone vibrate and picked it up. It was Connor.
Go out with me tonight?
She giggled and replied.
Sure :) Pick me up at 7.
She closed her phone and watched as her two friends splashed each other in the pool.
Aidan was still at soccer camp and he'd made plenty of friends already. They were all eating lunch together when Sabrina came and sat in front of Aidan.
"See ya later, Aid," One of his friends winked and Aidan looked at them confused as they all stood up and walked away.
"Hey stranger," Sabrina said, with a smile. They'd gotten to know each other a bit better during the past two weeks but they hadn't talked that much lately. "What's up? How are you liking camp so far?"
"I'm having fun," He nodded. "But I kinda wish I was back home right now."
"Girlfriend?" She asked and he nodded. "That kinda sucks," She said and he raised an eyebrow. "Well, someone who looks like you should definitely not have a girlfriend!"
"Uh," He said. "I'll take that as a compliment?"
"Oh, yes, it was, sorry!" She laughed. "You know, you're hot, you should be free to hook up with whoever you want." She said and he shrugged.
"Well, I'm not that kind of guy." He told her and she nodded.
"Yeah, I kinda realized that," She told him. "I've been practically throwing myself at you for the past two weeks and you've done nothing!" She said and he looked at her. "I was starting to think you're gay!" She said and he laughed. "It's okay though, I can take a hint… besides, there's clearly plenty of other boys here that I can hook up with."
He nodded. "That is true," He laughed. "And I'm sure you won't having any trouble doing that."
She laughed and extended her hand. "Friends?"
He nodded and shook her hand. "Friends."
Sophia sat in her living room, watching t.v. It's basically all she'd been doing lately, with Andria hooking up with every guy she could find, Sophia was alone. Not to mention the fact every guy in her life wasn't speaking to her. Jared and Andy for obvious reasons but she never understood why Jesse had cut contact with her. They hadn't spoken in two weeks and Sophia was trying to figure out what she'd done wrong.
The doorbell rang but she figured she'd let someone else get it.
"Soph?" She heard Gaby call from her bedroom. "Can you get that? I'm a little busy!" She shouted and then giggled. Sophia heard Ryan laughing and rolled her eyes. Did they really have to fool around while she was in the house?
She stood up and walked over to the door to open it. She froze when she saw Jared.
"What are you doing here?" She asked and he walked inside.
"Sophia, please," He said. "You have to forgive me, I love you." He said and she shook her head.
"Jared, please leave," She said, tearing up, but Jared refused.
"Not until you understand how much I love you," He said, walking over to her. She almost let him kiss her but then tried pushing him away.
"Jared, get off of me!" She shouted but he wouldn't stop.
Upon hearing Sophia screaming, Gaby and Ryan ran downstairs. They saw what was happening and Ryan immediately pulled Jared off Sophia and shoved him into the other direction. Sophia ran into Gaby's arms crying.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ryan asked and Jared looked up at him. He saw his best friend's eyes were bloodshot red and was furious. "Are you high?"
Jared pushed Ryan off him and nodded. "Yes."
"What are you thinking?!" Ryan asked and Jared rolled his eyes.
"Oh, like it even matters!" Jared shouted.
"Jared, you need to leave, please," Gaby told him but he refused.
Ryan pushed him towards the door. "Come on, man, don't do this." He said and Jared looked at him. "Go home, I'll drive you."
"No!" He said, pushing Ryan away. He looked at Sophia. "Please, Sophia, I love you."
Ryan had enough. He grabbed Jared and with every force in him, he brought him to the door. "Come on, let's go." He said, firmly.
Jared took one last look at Sophia but she just looked away, sobbing into her big sister's arms. Ryan grabbed Jared's keys and they went outside, where Ryan drove him home.
