Chapter Fifteen

Never Do That To Me Again

As girls, we never really went into the water. We sat on the beach working on our tans while the boys played in the water. Matt came up to be and blocked all my sun.

I propped myself up on my elbows and looked at him over my sunglasses. "You're in my light." He smirked and leaned over my dripping water on my stomach.

Hey ladies," Matt said. His white skin had a bit of a deeper tan coming, and you could really see the outlines of his six pack. He smiled at me and leaned down so our faces were practically touching. "Miss me?" I smiled and moved his wet black hair out of his eyes.

"Mhmmm," I sighed. He smiled and leaned to rest of the way to kiss me quickly on the lips, and then lay next to me on my towel with his arm around my shoulder. I leaned into him and inhaled the sweet ocean scent that always lingered on his body. "Soph, we need to have a party since you'll have to leave soon." I was sad that she had to leave.

"I know. I saw that club driving in to town and it looked pretty cool. We should go there tonight." Everyone agreed to the plan. So we were celebrating tonight.

"Bethaney Ann, what is taking you guy so long?" Riley called up the stairs. He was so impatient sometimes. Caroline came up the stairs and stopped in my room.

"He's freaking out." She laughed. I rolled my eyes and quickly finished what I was doing. Sophie was having trouble with her dress earlier but she finally got the zipper up.

"Well he can stop because we are ready. Is Tyler here yet?" Caroline nodded her head and sighed, Tyler had been acting a bit strange lately but no one knew why. He was always running somewhere or out until daybreak. Kristine and Ed were starting to get worried and thought Tyler was on drugs. I didn't think Tyler would be stupid enough to do drugs but I guess you never really know. People do things you would never expect them to do. Sophia was finishing up while I went down to meet everyone.

"Wow finally you guys get down here," Riley said annoyingly. I looked around the room but I didn't see that Matt was back yet. I sighed and walked into the kitchen. I went to the fridge and pulled out the Kool-Aid and got a glass. I felt arms trap me close to the counter. I felt warm and could feel their breath on my neck.

"Hey," he said. I could already smell the alcohol on his breath.

"Tyler, you've already been drinking? We haven't even got to the club yet." I rolled my eyes at his laugh. He moved my hair to my other shoulder and my breath hitched when his fingers grazed the sensitive spot on my neck. Then I felt his lips on my neck and it sent shivers down my spine. "Tyler you need to stop." There was no demand in my voice. His tongue grazed my skin and my whole body shook with a shiver. "Please stop." I tried to tell him again. He moaned into my next and started to pull my waist against his.

"Don't make me stop. Please Bethy, I want you and only you." He said and he turned my around to face him. His lips brushed against mine and I could almost feel the magnetic pull that was pulling my mouth to his. I stared into his glossy blue eyes and I could almost see the lust swirling up to the surface.

I put my hands to his collar about to pull his face to mine when I heard the front door and Matt's voice flood the living room. I snapped out of my trance and looked back at Tyler. He smirked but I pushed him off of me,

"Never do that to me ever again Tyler." I poured my Kool-Aid down the drain and left the kitchen. I was so irritated now. Matt stopped me and pulled me to his side,

"Are you alright?" he asked. I nodded and tried to speak.

"I just need to go and check on Soph," I said with hardly a voice. "Just stay down here." Tyler now came out of the kitchen with a cocky smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes at him and went up stairs to check on Sophia. She instantly noticed the confusion and irritation on my face.

"What's wrong?" She asked searching my face for answers. I sat on my bed and put my face into my hands. I felt the bed dip next to me and Sophia put her hands around my shoulders. "You can tell me Beth."
I shuddered and talked with my face still in my hands. "Tyler is trying to screw with my freaking head." Sophia inhaled deeply after a long pause and told me to go on. "I was in the kitchen and he started touching my neck and running his mouth all over it. Then he turned me around and I almost kissed him. If Matt wouldn't have walked in the front door I would have kissed Tyler." I wanted to cry but tears wouldn't come. I was confused.

"Partying will help. C'mon," Sophia smiled holding her hand out to me. I grabbed it and pulled my best friend into a hug.

"I don't know what I would do without you," I muttered into her shoulder.

"I don't know what I'd do without me either," she said. I laughed and pulled out of the hug.

"C'mon the club is waiting for us." She threw her head back in laughter and followed me out the door.
