Lil's P.O.V.
I'm sitting on one of the swings in Kimi's backyard, just watching everyone get drunk and stupid. It's really entertaining.
I suddenly feel a pair of cold hands touch my bare shoulders, pushing my swing.
"Hey!" I exclaim. I turn around, still swinging, to see Tommy standing there with a smile. "Oh." I say.
I jump off of the swing and walk over to him. "Hey."
"Hi, Tommy." I say, still smiling.
"What are you doing out here?"
"It's getting really crowded inside."
"Wanna go for a walk?" I look at him and nod.
He grabs my hand, and we begin to walk over to the house. The back door is completely surrounded by people, and we just look at eachother. We're thinking the same thing.
"Gate." We say in unison.
We walk around the house, and Tommy lets go of my hand to open the gate door for me.
"Thank you." I say while walking past him. He just gives me a warm smile, and takes my hand again. We have to walk through the crowd of people on Kimi and Chuckie's front yard, but once we finally get through, we begin walking down the street.
As we get to a street corner, we stop and I look up at him. He looks back down at me, his eyes meeting mine. He smiles again, and gently squeezes my hand.
We start to walk again, and Tommy begins to speak.
"How are you liking the party?"
"It's fun. It'd be better if I could speak to Kimi, though. She knows a lot of the people there. I don't know any of them. I haven't seen her in over two hours!"
"Did you see what happened to her date?" I look back up at him, confused. He sees my expression, knowing my answer, and continues. "Phil beat the crap out of him."
"WHAT?" I ask, wondering how I didn't know about this. Well, I have been outside for most of the party.
"Yeah. He made some rude remarks about Kimi, and Phil clocked him straight in the mouth. He was bleeding everywhere!" I look at him with an unbelieved face.
"What did he say about Kimi?"
He ignores my question, and continues. "The next part is even crazier! Right as Josh is running at Phil, Chuckie of all people attacks him! He pinned him down, and told him off!" I'm shocked.
"And you saw all of this?"
"Yeah. I was right there. It happened right after Phil was acting like a moron with me."
"A moron? How?"
"He kept saying that he doesn't like Kimi, but I know he does." I think about that for a second.
"I don't know."
He looks at me again. "Don't know what?"
"I mean, I don't know if he actually does like Kimi. In that way."
"Are you kidding? Don't you see the way that he looks at her everyday?"
"Yes, but he got really serious with me the other day, telling me that he was serious, and did not like Kimi."
He rolls his eyes. "He's such an idiot. He's just worried that Kimi won't feel the same."
"If that's the case, he should be worried. Kimi does not like Phil in that way. She would tell me." I explain. "Anyways, what did Josh say?" I try again.
"Huh?" He asks, not remembering our conversation from just a couple of minutes ago. "Oh. He said something along the lines of 'She wouldn't put out for me. She's a slutty tease.'"
I look at him with my eyes widened. "Oh my god. I've never been so proud to call Phil my brother. What an ass!"
"Lil!" Tommy exclaims. "Your language!" He teases, knowing how I very rarely curse.
I roll my eyes, and jokingly punch his arm. As my fist is about to hit his arm, he gently grabs my hand. He me straight in the eyes, and says in a low tone, "No violence."
I begin to blush, and pull my hand away.
We begin to walk more, and finally reach Kimi's house again.
"Let's go find Kimi." I say. Tommy nods, and we walk into the house.
We squeeze though the crowd, looking for Kimi, but we can't find her. I look over at the couch to see a tall girl with curly blonde hair holding an ice pack to Josh's lip. He's smirking at her, and she's blushing. I'm officially disgusted. How could anyone like that guy?
"I don't see her anywhere." Tommy says, interupting my thoughts.
I look at him. "Do you think we should check her room?" Tommy nods, and we push our way over to the staircase. When we get upstairs I look down the hallway to see that Kimi's door is shut. Tommy and I walk over to her door and knock lightly.
"Kimi?" I say lightly through the door. "Are you in there?"
I hear Kimi let out a low "fuck," like I've interupted something. "Be right there!" She continues. I hear a thump, a lot of shuffling, and a door slam. Probably her closet.
After about two minutes, the door opens. "Hey!" She says, breathlessly.
I look at her, confused. She wearing a bright yellow rope covered in electric blue polkadots, and a pair of frog slippers. Her eye makeup is slightly smudged, making me think that she has been crying, and her hair is still curled, but extremely messy. She's out of breath, and has a huge smile on her face, looking like she's covering something up.
"What's going on?" I ask suspiciously.
"What do you mean? Nothing's going on." She's lying. I know her too well not to know.
"Okay. Are you coming back downstairs for the party?" I ask only to hear her answer.
"Um.. Sure." She looks annoyed. "Actually, you know I'm feeling a little under the weather at the moment. I'll be down in like an hour."
"Alright." She then gives me a smile, closes the door, and locks it. Nothing's going on? Yeah right.
"What do you want to do now?" Tommy asks me.
"I don't know. Let's go have a drink." He smiles, and we walk downstairs, hand in hand.
