I DON'T OWN ANYTHING….
At the beach that same day…..
IPOV
Liam and I spent a great night together last night. It was exactly what I needed to take my mind out of the ass that my father is. I can't say I wasn't happy sleeping in his arms. It was the best night sleep I had in years. Hell, the best night sleep I had in my life. Cheesy right? I know, but whatever, it's true. I'm in love with Liam Court and I know he's still a little bit attracted to me. I just have to try and make him realize it's me he wants to be with, not Naomi.
"Hey! What's up dude?" I asked Dixon while Liam and I approached him.
"Hi guys. what's going….Wait a sec…Did you guys just came down from your house Ivy?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, we did. So?" Liam asked playing it cool and sat down on the sand to wax his board. Well, my board actually. He had to borrow one of my boards given he stayed at my place last night….not that we were going to tell Dixon about that.
"Did you spent the night there Court?" he patted Liam's shoulder and winked at me.
"No dude. He just came this morning" I said and winked at Liam. He smiled.
"Oh really? So why do you have one of Ivy's boards?" Dixon asked and laughed at our perplexed faces. "I knew it! Way to go man!!" he said laughing again. Liam and I shocked our heads.
"Hi guys. What are we laughing at?" Teddy asked as he approached us with Navid next to him.
"Well apparently this two spent the night together" Dixon said pointing at us. I smacked the back of his head
"Whoa, way to go Liam!" Teddy said.
"Dude what about Naomi?" Navid asked.
"It wasn't like that guys! Knock it off" Liam said getting mad now.
"Oh really? It wasn't like that? Come on dude who are you trying to…" Teddy started again but I cut him off.
"No damn it! It wasn't!. My dad came back after nine years after abandon me, I was upset and alone at home so Liam stayed with me. Ok?" I almost yelled. I threw my wax to the sand and ran towards the water.
"Dude, we had no idea" Dixon said to Liam.
"Yeah, I know. She's just really upset guys. I mean her dad is a jerk. And I can relate to that.. He decided to appear on her doorstep last night and pretend they were always a family. It's tough for her" Liam replied.
"Yeah I can only imagine. We'll apologize to her later." Teddy said and the others nodded.
"Yeah. Hey I'm sorry I accused you of cheating dude. I know you're in love with Naomi" Navid said.
Liam looked down and stood up. "Yeah. Yeah. No problem man" he replied.

I saw the guys giving each a hug to Ivy and I came up to them.
"Hey guys" I said as Ivy let go of Navid and I saw she had been crying. I put an arm around her shoulders and hugged her to me side.
"Hi baby!" Naomi said as she approaches us. She saw me hugging Ivy and that she was crying. "Is everything okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, everything is fine" Ivy said sniffing and let go of me.
"Okay…Well, anyway Liam we have to go" Naomi said to me.
"What? Where?" I asked.
"Well, I have a surprise for you honey" she said and kissed my cheek. From the corner of my eye I saw Ivy looking away from us.
"Okay…I'll see you guys later then. You sure you're going to be fine Iv?" I asked her.
"Yeah dude, don't worry. You've than enough. Thanks Liam" she replied and forced a smile.
"Okay. Bye then!" Naomi said and dragged me to her car.
We have been driving around for almost an hour now "So you're not telling me where we're going huh?" I asked Naomi.
"Nope. But we're almost there" she said for the 40th time. I rolled my eyes and her and she laughed. We kept driving for 20 minutes more and arrived to a cabin in the woods.
"Here we are!" she said and the car came to a stop. "Let's go!" we walked out of the car and stood in front of the cabin.
"So? What do you think? Just a weekend for the two of us. All alone, no interruptions, no distractions" she said and came over to me hugged my waist and kissed my lips.
"Sound amazing" I lied. "But how I'm I going to spend the weekend here? I couldn't even pack underwear" I said.
"Oh, I took care of that. Your mom made you a bag with clothes and stuff" she said and kissed me again. We opened the car's trunk and took our bags out. Well, Naomi packed two bags actually.
"Are you coming for two days or two months?" I asked her.
"Well I like being prepared" she said and opened the door to the cabin. The smell of humidity invaded our noses.
"Eww, It's gross" she complained. "I did this for you because you like this kind of things. I would've never rented a humid, moldy cabin if Ivy hadn't told me you like this things. I'm gonna open the windows" she said and walked over to the kitchen window.
"You asked Ivy?" I asked not really believing that Naomi had asked Ivy a favour.
"Well, yeah. I mean she knows you a lot. She's your friend and besides, she's like a guy so if I want man advise I go to a girl who seems to be a man." she replied.
"Hey, don't be like that with her. She's my friend" I said and she shrugged her shoulders.
Later that night………
"Oh my Gosh I hate mosquitoes. Well I hate every insect for that matter. Gross. I'm gonna go shower" Naomi said after we returned from our hike in the woods.
I sat on the couch eating a sandwich wondering how Ivy is doing with her whole dad thing. I took my phone out of my pocket and sent her a message.
'Hey Iv. How U doing? Any news bout your dad?'
'Hey dude I'm fine, thanks.. No, none, at least for now… How's the cabin?'
'Good to hear you're doing better. Well, the cabin is good but Naomi complains about every single insect there's in the planet. LOL'
'My God. I told her not to act like she always acts. Guess she can't help it. Anyway, have fun dude. See you tomorrow'
'Yeah that's just her. Ok, later Iv'
"Liam! Come here please" Naomi yelled. I got up from the couch and went to the bathroom but she wasn't there. I walked into the master bedroom and she was lying on the bed with only a black and red see-through lingerie.
"So? Are you coming to bed or what?" I smiled and walked towards the bed. We started to kiss. Naomi took my shirt off and started to kiss my neck and shoulders. All I could think about when I closed my eyes was Ivy. All I wanted was Ivy to be here doing what Naomi is doing. I had to stop. I couldn't do this to Naomi.
"Wait Naomi" I said but she kept kissing me. "Naomi. Stop." I said and pushed her off of me. I sat on the edge of the running my hands over my face. "I'm sorry" I apologized.
"What's wrong Liam?" She asked and sat on my lap.
"I can't do this Naomi. I can't do this to you" I said.
"What do you mean? Do what?" she asked again.
"I can't be with you, and be thinking about someone else Naomi. I'm in love with someone else" I said and she stood up from my lap.
"What?" she asked. "Are you kidding me? After everything we went through to get back together and you do this now?" she was yelling at me now and I stood up in front of her and grabbed her arms.
"Naomi I care about you. I care a lot. I'm just not in love with you and that's why I'm walking away. You deserve better" I said.
She yanked her arms away from me and looked at me with pain, hate, anger and love all mixed up "You're right. I deserve better" she said and went into the bathroom slamming the door close. I sat on the bed and sighed. After a few minutes she came back fully dressed and grabbed her bags.
"Where are you going?" I asked her.
"I'm heading home. You can find your own ride maybe call Ivy. That's who you are in love with right?" I didn't say anything and she stormed out of the cabin. I heard the engine of her car turning on and the lights coming into the dark room.
The next morning…
"Thanks for coming to get me dude" I told Dixon as we arrived at my house.
"Yeah. No problem man. See you later." He said as I hopped down of his SUV.
"Hey Liam!" he yelled at me and I turned around "Just hurry up and tell Ivy how you feel before it's too late." he said and backed away from my driveway.

"Mother I'm home" I called as I entered my house. I left my keys and bag on the coffee table and called again "Mom? You there?". Nothing.
I walked into the kitchen and I saw blood on the floor. There she lied, behind the counter covered in blood with what appeared to be a stab wound on her abdomen. "Mom!" I screamed and kneeled beside her, I grabbed the phone and called 911. The operator said that I had to try and stop the bleeding until the help arrived, so I pressed my hand against the wound.
"Mom?, mom please stay with me. Just hang in there please" I begged.
The paramedics arrived, moved me out of the way and started to work on her.
"Okay she's stable now. Please pass us the gurney" he said to me. I couldn't move I was petrified on my spot.
"Miss, please pass us the gurney" he said again. I snapped out of it and did what he asked me to.
"Ok on my count. One, two, three" he said and they lifted my mom up. " You coming miss?" he asked me.
"Yeah of course" I replied and we jumped into the ambulance.
"She's going to be okay, right?" I asked. "She has to be".
"She'll be fine kid. We just have to get her to the hospital stabilized, which she's right now" he replied.

I was lying in my bed thinking about Ivy and Naomi when my cell phone started to ring. I checked the caller ID. It was Ivy. I smiled and answered.
"Hey Iv! What's up. Wanna go for a bite?" I asked and I heard her sobs.
"Ivy? Ivy what's going on? Talk to me" I said worried.
"Liam, I'm in the hospital" she said between sobs.
"What?! What happened? Are you alright?!" I asked starting to panic as I pulled on my jeans.
"I'm fine. It's not me is my mom. Please can you come over?" she asked.
"Of course I'm on my way" I said and hanged up.
I jumped out of my car and ran into the emergency room. I approached the main desk where a nurse sat talking on the phone.
"I'll call you back" she said when she saw me. "What do you need sir?" she asked me nicely.
"My friend's mom was brought here half an hour ago. Her name is Laurel Sullivan" he said.
"We have a Laurel with an abdomen stab wound but her last name is not Sullivan" she said
"He divorced her husband so…I don't know her bachelor's last name" I said starting to her anxious. "Wait, stab wound?" I asked.
"Yeah. Ok. Go down that hall, and at the end to your left it's the waiting room" she said.
"Thanks!" I yelled as I rushed down the hall.
When I entered the waiting room the sight before me made my heart sink. Ivy sat there with her head between her legs, sobbing and her hands covered in blood up until the elbows. I approached her and touched her shoulder.
"Ivy?" I said. She looked up at me and started to cry harder.
I grabbed her arms and made her stand up pulling her against my chest. "It's okay Ivy. It's alright" I said and stroking her hair to try and calm her down. A nurse walked in and Ivy pulled away from me slightly.
"Any news on my mom?" she asked.
"No, not yet honey. Why don't you come to the nurse station to clean up" she said. Ivy gave her a confused look. The nurse pointed to Ivy's arms and she looked down.
"God. I hadn't even noticed" she said in a shaky voice.
"Come on. We'll get you cleaned up" I said and we walked to the nurse station. After she cleaned up we sat on a couch in the waiting room.
"Thanks for being here Liam. I didn't know who else to call" Ivy said to me.
"Of course. We're friends Ivy you know you can call me anytime" I said to her and moved one strand of her hair behind her ear.
"I should call the guys. They're my friends too" she said.
"Already done that. They're on their way" I said.
"You're awesome dude" she said and hugged me. We pulled away and she smiled but only briefly.
"There you go. I want to see that smile" I said and caressed her cheeks and all the way down to her lips and then her neck.
"Liam" she said and closed her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I'm an idiot. Look what I'm doing while you're dealing with all this. I'm sorry Ivy" I apologized sincerely.
"Hey, it's okay dude. You're not an idiot. We'll talk later" she said. I nodded and grabbed her hand and she rested her head on my shoulder.
After a few minutes of sitting there in silence Teddy, Dixon and Navid walked in. We stood up and they all went over to Ivy and hugged her.
"Thanks for coming guys" she said. Teddy was about to say something when two police officers walked in.
"Ivy Sullivan?" They asked.
"Yeah that's me" Ivy said and walked up to them.
"I'm officer Raver, this is officer Carlson. We're here about your mother" they said.
"Have you found anything?" she asked
"Well our investigators are working on the scene. You'll not be able to return home until the investigation is over. If you need some clothes you call us and we'll take you to get them" they said and officer Raver's cell phone rang.
He excused himself and answered it. "Okay. You sure? Yeah, yeah I'm here with the daughter now. No, no it's okay. Keep me posted. Thanks" he talked into the phone and then hanged up.
"What's going on?" Navid asked.
"They have a suspect" Raver replied.
"Who?" asked Ivy.
"James Sullivan. Your father" he said and we all looked at him in shock.
