Ch. 6 Secrets are Hard
(LUKE)
"You haven't had too much time to be with Maya these last couple of days have you?" Owen asks as we drive to practice in his car.
"Between school and these grueling practices coach has us doing it's been rough. I met her yesterday under the bleachers at the far end of the soccer field. It's kinda our spot but today she had to have lunch with her friends and after school she had some science project to work on so I couldn't even see her then." I complain.
"Yeah I know Tris told me they're doing the project together." Owen remarks.
"I wish we weren't such a secret it would be a lot easier to spend time together if we didn't have to sneak away to do it. With these four hour practices coach has been doing these last few nights I've been too tired to even go over there at night to see her." I gripe.
"Yeah well coach has us doing four hour practices because tomorrow's game will decide whether or not we go to the play offs. And not being secret doesn't necessarily mean you'd have more time to spend together. Clare and I are public and I've barely seen her either the last couple days. She's always busy at lunch and she has newspaper staff after school, even when she covered our practice yesterday I didn't get any time with her." Owen points out.
"Considering what little time we've had with our girls lately I think we should go on a double date this Saturday after the photo shoot. Maya can say she's going out with Clare, I'll tell my folks I'm hanging out with you and we'll meet the girls somewhere out of town." I suggest as Owen parks at the arena.
"That's the best idea I've heard all day, we'll call the girls after practice," Owen smiles as we get out and go inside.
After we change into our gear we go out to the ice, coach starts us out with warm ups and then quick passing and S passing drills. Before we're done though coach blows the whistle and calls us to huddle up.
"Listen up! The Ice Hounds have been invited to play in the Prime Ministers National Canadian Exhibition Charity Tournament in two weeks. The tournament is in Ottawa and we will be leaving that Thursday afternoon and returning Sunday night. You will all need permission slips to be signed by parents or billet parents since this is a weekend trip with very little adult supervision. While this tournament has no bearing on play offs or finals it is great chance to show what the Ice Hounds can do as a team. There will be many important people at this tournament including some scouts. Okay everyone back to practice!" Coach barks at us.
After four hours of practice we're all exhausted, we hit the showers and everyone is excited about the tournament but it also means a whole weekend away from Maya and that I don't like.
"This tournament sounds awesome but a whole weekend away from Clare is going to suck!" Owen says when we get back in his car to drive home.
"Yeah I know what you mean, I mean this could be huge for us if there's scouts there and there's going to be cameras, probably ESPN and who knows what else but a whole weekend away from Maya I'm not too happy about that." I agree with him.
"So when are we going to tell them?" Owen asks.
"We don't leave for a couple weeks, I'm thinking maybe on the date. We'll take them out for a nice dinner and get something chocolate for dessert and then tell them." I reply.
"Good plan, I don't think they're going to be too happy about it. Especially since there's bound to be a lot of girls there." Owen comments.
"Yeah," I nod in agreement.
Owen drops me at home and waves as he drives off, I go in and greet my family before heating up some dinner since I'm starving.
"How was practice?" Becky asks sitting with me at the table as I start eating.
"Exhausting," I reply.
"Four hour practices sound exhausting. So guess what?" Becky asks but of course she doesn't give me a chance to answer before talking again. "Adam and I got paired to work on our civics project together. I'm going to his house tomorrow after school so I won't make it to your game." Becky tells me practically in one breath.
"That's okay Becks, good luck with your project." I reply.
Becky smiles and skips up the stairs, Dad comes into the kitchen and I tell him about the tournament. Dad says it sounds like a good opportunity and he likes it because the whole thing is for charity. Of course then he gives me lecture about being on my best behavior blah blah. He does say he'll sign the permission slip though. After eating I spend the next hour and half in my room doing homework. Then brush my teeth and make it look like I'm getting ready for bed. I'm dead tired but I'm determined to see Maya tonight so when my family goes to bed I sneak out and drive to Maya's. It's a almost one when I get there and her house is dark, including Maya's room. I go up and tap on her window softly, I wait a few seconds and don't hear anything so I tap again a little harder this time. Finally I hear her getting out of her bed and coming to the window, a few seconds later she pulls back her curtains and opening the window.
"Hi," she whispers, "it's freezing come inside," she says.
She backs up and I'm not about to argue so I climb inside, she goes and sits on her bed so I sit next to her. She yawns and cuddles into me a little; I lay her down and lie next to her.
"I know it's late beautiful but I just had to see you," I whisper to her.
"I'm glad you came over I missed you today." She says turning her head to kiss me softly.
"Me too, feel like I've barely seen you these last couple of days. So Owen and me were thinking we'd take our girls out for a nice date this Saturday after the photo shoot. You tell your family you're hanging out with Clare and I'll tell mine I'm hanging out with Owen." I inform her.
"Sounds perfect," she yawns.
"I should let you sleep beautiful and I better get home before I fall asleep." I tell her.
"No stay," she whines lightly.
"I'd love too beautiful but if someone catches me in here it'll be the end of us. I'll see you tomorrow." I tell her.
I get out of the bed leaning down to kiss her gently before climbing back out her window. I barely make it home and almost fall sneaking back in, falling into bed still dressed and right to sleep.
(CLARE)
It was lunch and I was on my way to eat with Alli and Jenna when I was suddenly paged to Principal Simpson's office.
"Well I doubt you're in trouble, unless he wants you to go for a psychological exam because you're dating Owen." Alli said in a snarky tone.
"Alli!" I admonished her.
"We'll meet you in the memorial garden when you're done," Jenna comments.
I smile at my friends and head for Simpson's office. "You wanted to see me Sir?" I ask knocking on his open office door.
"Yes come in Clare," Mr. S says and I go in closing the office door and sitting in a chair. "The Ice Hounds have been invited to the Prime Ministers Exhibition Charity Hockey Tournament. The tournament is in two weeks in Ottawa and the entire team is going." Principal Simpson informs me.
"That's great for the team Sir but what does it have to with me?" I question as what runs through my mind is. "I'm happy for Owen but does this mean he's going to be gone from me for a whole weekend, doing god knows what with the team? And when was he going to tell me?"
"Well since you're our Ice Hounds correspondent I'm sending you with them. You'll need parental permission of course as you'll be away that Thursday night through Sunday night. I want you to go not just to cover the team's games for the school paper but the whole event. There will be a lot of very important people there it would be a great networking opportunity for you and a good opportunity for DeGrassi to show off not just our students with athletic ability but our academic excellence by showcasing DeGrassi Daily's best writer." Simpson enlightens me.
"This is amazing Sir, thank you so much I'm sure my mom will consent." I tell him with an elated smile as I'm very excited to be going. "This is fantastic, a whole weekend away from parents and Jake with Owen and this could be huge for me if I make the right connections. The only thing that could make this better is if Maya could come along for Luke. Hey wait a second I have an idea!" A brilliant idea donning on me, now I just hope Mr. Simpson agrees with me. "If you really want to showcase all of DeGrassi's talents then wouldn't it be great to showcase DeGrassi's musical talents as well for instance our very own Whisper Hug? I bet they could play before the teams games or half time or something. Plus if Adam goes then Audra is sure to chaperone and if I can tell my mom she's chaperoning I guarantee my mom will let me go. And then Maya, Imogen and I could share a hotel room so I'm not the only girl." I point out.
He looks thoughtful for a minute then gets a big smile on his face as the idea settles in. "Clare that's a brilliant idea! Would you mind waiting outside my office for a few minutes I have a couple phone calls to make." Simpson requests.
"No problem Sir," I smile and leave his office closing the door behind me.
I sit down in one of the chairs just outside his office and get out my lunch, I start eating my sandwich while waiting for an answer from Simpson. I finish my sandwich before he opens the office door again.
"Whisper Hug is in and I've already spoken to Audra, she will indeed be chaperoning and driving up she says you can ride with her. I also spoke with your mom and you were right as soon as I told her Audra was chaperoning and driving your mom was more than willing to let you go." Simpson tells me.
"Great, wait till I tell Adam! Thanks Sir," I wave leaving to find a few people.
I want to tell Adam and Maya of course but first to have a little fun with Owen. I'll check his locker first, it's close enough to the end of lunch that he might be there and indeed that's where I find him. Well actually he's at Luke's locker talking with Luke but Luke's locker is only a few down from Owen's. I put on a mask of annoyance and walk over with my hand on my hip, Owen has his back to me but Luke sees me and nods in my direction and Owen looks over.
"Hey gorgeous," Owen smiles when he sees me, he leans down to kiss me but I turn my head.
"Don't you hey gorgeous me!" I snap and he straightens up with a surprised and slightly sheepish look because he thinks he's in trouble. "When exactly were going to tell me you were going away for a whole weekend to Ottawa?" I question.
"I just found out last night, I was going to tell you honest. It's a big tournament and I'll call you every night an…" he's stumbling over an apology when I stop him no longer able to keep a straight face.
"Stop apologizing I'm going with you," I giggle and Luke starts laughing at Owen's expression.
"You are?" Owen asks.
"Yep Principal Simpson is sending me since I'm the Ice Hounds correspondent but I'm covering the whole event not just your games." I tell them.
"Fucking awesome! I get my girl with me and no parents around!" Owen smiles, he puts his hand at the small of my back, I put my arms around his neck and we share a kiss.
"Yes it is but I'm not done yet, I convinced Simpson that it would be a fabulous idea if Whisper Hug came too and they are!" I inform them.
"So Maya's coming too?" Luke asks with a huge blissful smile on his face.
"That's right," I nod.
"Clare I could kiss you!" Luke exclaims.
"You better not, my girlfriend!" Owen says putting me behind him and I giggle.
"Audra's chaperoning and driving the band up or most of them at least and I'll be riding with them." I inform them.
"Audra's chaperoning oh man she's scary we'll never get to see you girls." Owen whines.
"She's a lot easier to get away from then my mom would be. We just have to distract her with something. I'm going to go tell Whisper Hug the good news, see you guys at the game tonight." I say giving Owen a quick kiss and waving to Luke before I head to the music room where I know Whisper Hug is practicing.
I go in, closing the door behind me and lean against the wall while I wait for them to finish the song their rehearsing.
"Did you need something Clare?" Mo asks when they finish.
"Yep I have good news for you guys, we're all going to Ottawa in two weeks!" I apprise them.
"Huh?" They all ask together.
"The Ice Hounds are going to a charity hockey tournament, Simpson is sending me to cover the games and I convinced him it would be a good idea to send DeGrassi's very own Whisper Hug to show off our musical talent so now we're all going. Mr. S already talked to your mom Adam, she'll drive and chaperone." I explain.
"Sweet!" Exclaims Adam.
"Awesome!" Zig and Mo say together.
"Oh maybe Fiones can come and we can share a room!" Imogen remarks and all the guys look at her. "What? Then Maya and Clare can share a room and it's even." Imogen adds.
"Yeah sure I bet that's the reason," Mo comments.
Maya is quiet but she has this intensely happy secret smile and I know it's because she gets a weekend with Luke with no parents and no siblings.
(MAYA)
"Never been to a hockey game before," I say as Clare and I sit in our seats in the front row.
Clare was here to cover the game and she had brought me along under the guise of an assistant and photographer since this was a very important game for the Hounds. Really I was here to keep her company and watch Luke and hopefully see him for a while after the game.
"Yeah well last week's game was the first one I'd been to so don't feel bad. Just snap a few pictures so people think you did the job I told them I was bringing you here for." She tells me.
The arena quickly fills up, then loud very upbeat and exciting music starts as the Ice Hounds come out. Clare and Owen blow each other kisses and Luke waves at us. The opposing team comes out then the game starts. I'm used to watching Katie play soccer but I have to admit hockey was pretty exciting. Luke scored two goals, Dallas two and Cam one and they beat the other team by two points.
"I'm not even going to attempt locker room interviews this time, last time I saw too much of too many of the Ice Hounds. They go to Little Miss Steaks after I'll text Owen and tell him we'll meet them there." Clare says as we stand up and wait to leave the arena in the mass of people.
Katie and Jake dropped us off at the arena before they're date, Jake offered to let her borrow the truck but Clare told them Owen would take us home. So we walk the few blocks to the restaurant and still make it there before the team. We sit at a booth and order some dinner since we haven't eaten yet. The team comes in very loudly about ten minutes after we sit down, Luke and Owen sit next to each other. They put several tables together and everyone sits down.
"Milligan your girl is here already," Dallas points out motioning to us.
The whole team looks over at us and Owen gets up and starts walking to us.
"Luke grab a couple more chairs and scoot yourself down a little so I can sit with Clare will ya?" Owen requests.
"Yep I'll take care of it," Luke says getting up too.
Of course this means Luke and I get to sit next to each other too. Owen comes to our table and takes our hands helping us up. Luke has now put two chairs between him and Owen; we sit down again just as Marisol brings our food. The team orders a couple pizzas and pitchers of soda and Marisol leaves.
"So I hear you two will be coming to Ottawa with us, you going to slip me your room key?" Dallas asks.
"Dude fucking watch your mouth you're talking about my girlfriend and her friend!" Owen warns him.
"You're not nearly man enough for either me or Maya," Clare snaps back and the rest of the team chortles.
Dallas glares at her but doesn't say anything else. Owen puts his arm around Clare and kisses her. Luke and I can't do that with the team around but he does take my hand under the table. When Clare's done eating she does a few player interviews, she's still doing them when I see a despondent looking Zig walk through the doors.
"I'll be right back," I say. I'm saying it to Luke but I'm looking at Clare so the rest of the team doesn't wonder why I'm saying it to Luke. Clare nods as Luke lets go of my hand and I get up going to the bar and sitting next to Zig. "What's wrong you look awful?" I inquire.
"Tori and I got into a big fight, we were out walking and she saw this locket in the window of the jewelry shop down the street. She not so subtlety hinted that she wants it for our five month anniversary. I asked if we needed to celebrate our five month with gifts and she threw a fit and stormed off." Zig laments.
"Sorry Zig, Tori's pretty high maintenance. I mean she's my friend and all but she can be…" I pause trying to put it a nice way.
"A real bitch?" Zig asks finishing my sentence for me.
"Yeah," I smile.
"Hey what's going on?" Owen asks coming up with his arm around Clare and Luke behind them.
"Zig had a big fight with Tori," I inform them.
"Yeah that's not surprising, let me guess the world didn't bend to her will and she threw a hissy fit?" Owen states more than asks. He knows Tori pretty well being that she's his brother's best friend.
"Yeah that sums it up pretty well." Zig nods.
"Don't sweat it, you need a lift home? I'm taking Clare and Maya home and Luke needs a lift too." Owen offers.
"Yeah thanks that'd be great." Zig smiles.
We leave without waving to the rest of the team and go out to Owen's car. Clare sits in front of course; I sit in back between Zig and Luke. Owen drops Zig off first but I stay in the middle so I can sit next to Luke and now that Zig is gone he puts his arm around me and I lean on him.
"It's only 9:30 I don't have to be home until midnight." Clare says after we drop Zig off.
"Even I don't have to be home until eleven." I remark.
"Well then I have the perfect place for us to go." Owen says.
Owen drives for a while until we're parked near the back of Riverdale Park overlooking the river.
"The perfect place for us to go is the diamond?" Clare asks.
"Diamond?" Luke and I ask together.
"It looks like a parking lot to me," Luke remarks and I nod looking at all the other cars parked next to us.
"It's the unofficial name for this place, as in baseball diamond as in getting to first, second, third base or getting a homerun." Owen explains.
"Oh," I nod getting a little nervous.
"How do you know about this place?" Owen asks Clare.
"The stuff you don't know about me could fill a book. You got a blanket?" Clare asks Owen.
"Yeah in the trunk why?" Owen asks.
"You two can have the car, we'll be back." Clare says to us, then looks back at Owen. "Pop the trunk we're going to need that blanket. Ever been to the cave?" She asks.
Owen just shakes his head and pops the trunk as they get out of the car, then Owen pokes his head back into the car. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." He smirks.
"Dude get out of here," Luke says.
Owen closes the car door and we watch the two of them walk away hand in hand until we can't see them anymore. Now that we're alone Luke takes off my glasses setting them behind us, we unbuckle, Luke brushes his finger through my hair and leans me back on the back seat as he presses our lips together. His tongue probes my lips and I part them to allow his tongue in. I put my hand behind his head deepening the kiss; my other hand goes to the side of his face gently caressing it. We make out for a while just like that and it's great, I'm floating on a happy cloud of bliss, it's just me and him and nothing else in the world and part of me wishes it could always be this way. Then Luke's hand sneaks it's way up my shirt and his fingers try to make their way under my bra. I seize up grabbing his arm, pulling his hand out and breaking from the kiss.
"Slow down Luke, kissing is okay but I'm not ready for anything else." I say firmly.
"Sorry," Luke apologizes.
I just smile and put my lips back on his and we continue making out until Owen and Clare return to the car.
"Man you fogged up my windows!" Owen gripes as they get back in the car.
"Shut up dude, how was the cave?" Luke asks.
"Awesome, only she won't tell me how she knew about the place." Owen remarks.
Clare just giggles as we all buckle up again, Luke hands me my glasses again and Owen starts driving. My house is closest so Owen drops me off first.
"Goodnight beautiful we'll see you tomorrow night," Luke says kissing me as I get out of the car.
"Can't wait," I smile, "night Clare, night Owen thanks for the ride."
"Goodnight Maya," they say together.
I go to my front door unlocking it, and wave to them one last time before I go in.
"Hi Honey how was the game? Did you have fun with Clare?" Dad asks as I lock the front door.
"Pretty exciting actually, Clare and I had a great time. You remember that I'm hanging out with her tomorrow night too right?" I question.
"Yeah I remember what did you say you guys were doing?" Dad queries.
"Just going to a movie probably, maybe hanging out at Above the Dot." I reply.
"And you're staying at her house right?" Dad inquires.
"Yes Dad, right now I'm tired and I'm getting ready for bed. Goodnight Dad I love you." I say kissing my dad on the cheek.
"Goodnight Honey I love you too," Dad says.
I go back to my room to get ready for bed. Just as I get into bed Luke texts me to say goodnight again and I fall asleep happy excited for tomorrow night and our weekend in Ottawa in a couple weeks.
(LUKE)
"If you two are December why is your picture in the hot tub with three puck bunnies in bikinis that look too slutty for even Bianca's taste?" Clare asks me and Owen.
We'd all been at the photo shoot for a couple of hours now, currently Bo and Ingvar were posing with four girls for July. The three of us were sitting in chairs along the back wall, well Owen and I were sitting in chairs and Clare was sitting in his lap but we'd spent most of the shoot talking amongst ourselves as none of us really wanted to be here. I knew Clare wanted to be pretty much anywhere else and I only wanted to be with Maya. And Owen well I was pretty sure he wanted to be wherever would make Clare happy.
"Ask Dallas it was his idea to do the hot tub, at least I got him to let me and Luke do the picture together and it's our only one." Owen replies.
Clare hops off his lap and goes over to Dallas, Owen and I follow.
"Dallas what do hot tubs and girls in bikinis have to do with hockey or December?" Clare inquires.
"Nothing it's just sexy, if you're worried about Owen behaving you can put this on and get in the hot tub with them." Dallas says holding up a black bikini that's little more than pieces of sting and barely enough fabric to cover Clare's nipples let alone her breasts. "I bet a lot of guys, make that a lot of people would pay to see St. Clare in a hot tub in hardly anything." Dallas taunts.
Clare is bright red, she's furious, too furious to talk but we're not.
"Dallas man that's not cool!" I bark at him.
"What did I tell you about watching your fucking mouth?! You don't talk to my girlfriend or any girl like that!" Owen snarls.
He pulls his fist back to punch Dallas but Clare stops him.
"Don't, he's not worth it let's just sit down again." She says grabbing Owen's shirt and pulling him back. The three of us walk over and sit back in the chairs, Clare on Owen's lap of course. "Adam told me that Mo, Marisol, Imogen and Fiona are driving to Ottawa in Mo's jeep towing the bands equipment in a little trailer which means there's two free seats in the Torres van I bet you guys could ride with us instead of the team bus. Especially after I tell Audra about Dallas' last comment." Clare tells us.
"Sounds good to me," Owen says.
"Me too," I agree.
"Also Imogen and Fiona are sharing a room, which means Maya and I will be sharing a room, so you two just need to convince your coach that you guys need to share a room." Clare smiles.
"Awesome," says Owen.
"It's going to be the best weekend ever!" I remark happily thinking about all the time I'll get to spend with Maya.
It's another two hours before it's time for me and Owen to take our picture, which we do reluctantly. As soon as we're done we hop out of the hot tub, dry off and change and the three of us leave.
"We'll pick you guys up from the parking lot at the Break Room at seven." Owen tells Clare when we drop you off.
"Yep and my family thinks Maya and I are going to the movies and then to play pool." Clare smiles.
She kisses Owen, waves to me and gets out of the car and we drive to Owen's house. We have a couple hours before we pick up the girls and we spend them playing video games in his room. Then we change before going to meet the girls, they're waiting for us in Jake's truck which Clare drove. Owen pulls up behind them; I get out to move to the back, they get out and get into the car with us. Owen drives us to a restaurant in Aurora, which is twenty minutes outside of Toronto so we figure we're safe to not get caught. After a nice dinner and lots of excited conversation about the upcoming trip to Ottawa we leave the restaurant to walk around a while. Owen and Clare walk ahead of us, his arm around her and I hold Maya close. We walk for a while and I'm just happy for some time with Maya, I would like more time alone with her, like really alone with her and I start looking around for a bench or something so we can sit and kiss.
"Is that Zig?" Clare suddenly remarks.
"Damn it there go my plans," I think as Maya and I break apart.
Maya goes up rushing ahead of Clare and up to Zig. "Zig what are you doing all the way out here? Are you okay?" Maya asks him.
"Hey guys, Tori broke up with me; she called her mom to come get her and left me stranded. What are you four doing out here? Together?" Zig inquires.
"Zig I'm sorry," Maya says.
"Yeah me too that's too bad Zig," Clare says.
"It was bound to happen Tori wanted more than I could give her." Zig laments.
"Eh you can do better than that whiny bitch. You'll be coming to Ottawa and the tournament with us, there's bound to be a billion girls there." Owen encourages the younger boy.
"Yeah don't sweat it dude, you're a musician, chicks love musicians." I tell him.
"Yeah and we can give you a ride home," Owen adds.
"Thanks guys, so umm what were guys doing out here?" Zig asks again.
"Well I took Maya to play pool and Owen and Luke came to play pool at the same place. Owen and I wanted to spend some time together but I couldn't leave Maya." Clare is saying.
"So Luke and I got dragged along on their date, and you just saved me from being stuck with Luke." Maya says.
I know why she says it but it still hurts.
"Actually we should probably start getting home, Maya and I have to be home soon." Clare says which isn't true but I have the feeling she's trying to get rid of Zig for us too.
"Yeah lets head back to the car," Owen says.
Now that we have Zig with us Maya is walking with him, Clare is walking with Owen's arm around her and I'm left to at the back of the group walking alone. I know it's not Zig's fault that he got stranded out here but I'm still not happy. I'm starting to really hate this secret dating deal, I mean when we're alone and kissing, even when we're hanging out with Clare and Owen I'm good with it but pretty much every other time it sucks! I really like Maya, but I don't know how much longer I can keep up this secret relationship deal. We get back to Owen's car and drive Zig home; he thanks us for the ride and waves to us as he gets out of the car.
"We still have some time before Maya and I have to be back at my house," Clare says when Zig is out of the car.
"We could go back to the diamond," Owen suggests.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," I reply.
"Maybe we could just go to Above the Dot or something," Maya says slowly, "the four of us could still hang out. Just drop us at Clare's car and we'll just pretend to run into each other."
"Okay," Owen shrugs,
He's okay with this plan because no matter where we are he gets to hold Clare and kiss her but if we're in public then Maya and I are reduced to pretty much ignoring each other. I look at Maya but she's looking out the window. Owen pulls up to Clare's car at the Break Room and the three of us get out.
"Hey I need to talk you," I tell Maya taking her hand and pulling her around the corner so we can talk privately. "What's with you tonight? First you let Zig ruin our date and then you don't want to go somewhere we can be alone and make out?" I question in an annoyed tone.
"Zig was stranded and he just broke up with Tori were we supposed to just leave him out there? Is all you think about making out? Is that all you want to do with me?" She asks.
My mouth answers before my brain can stop it. "Yeah pretty much and I can only do it with you when we're alone because we can't tell anyone about us."
I know as soon as the words leave my mouth they were dumb but it's too late now. Maya looks incensed, she has tears in her eyes and runs back to Clare.
"I want to go back to your house Clare, Now! Get me away from him!" Maya demands getting into the truck.
Clare and Owen who were kissing against his car break apart to shoot me a look.
"Maya I'm sorry," I try but Clare unlocks the truck and Maya gets in, locking the door and looking away from me.
Clare gets in the truck and drives off; I go up to Owen and get in his car.
"What the hell did you do?" Owen asks as we start driving.
"I messed up man, bad. How do I make it up to her?" I ask Owen.
"You are asking the wrong guy, I'm not so good at the apologizing bit." Owen tells me.
"Great," I huff.
"Let her calm down and we have all night to think about how to fix it." Owen says and I nod.
We start driving back to his house and I start thinking about how I can make up for my big stupid mouth.
I will update as soon as I can but with me moving next week I don't know how much time I'll have to write next week.
