Last week, I was listening to my Mp3 and then this song came on and I got the idea for this FanFic. (I know I need to finish the stories I already have but I keep getting ideas! Sowwie! D:!)I got the main idea from the music video for this song. This story takes place the third week in summer after they graduate high school, so they are about seventeen and eighteen. The title and song belong to Miranda Lambert.
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyy(:
White Liar
Hey, white liar
Truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why, white liar
It was 11:30 on Saturday afternoon and Elliot was having lunch with his best friends Olivia, Munch, Alex, Fin, Melinda, Casey, George, and Don at their favorite place to eat and hang out – David's Pizza, crowding their nine chairs around the circle table. Tomorrow was Sunday, his wedding day, and being his best friends, they were determined to make his last day as a free man one he would always remember.
"Are you sure you wanna get married?" Alex asked him, taking a big bite of her cheese and olive pizza.
"Yeah. I mean, I think I do…" Elliot looked down at his Mountain Dew.
"Elliot, marriage is a life changing thing," Munch told him, pulling off an olive from Alex's pizza and eating it.
"And you need to be one hundred and twenty-six percent this is what you want to do," Olivia added and everyone else nodded.
"Well, it's not like I have a choice. I knocked her up, so we have to get married. It's a Catholic thing."
"Yup it is," Casey and Don agreed.
"How do you even know the baby's yours?" Fin argued, putting down his pizza. Everyone gave Fin a dirty look, except Elliot, who looked at him questioningly.
"Huh?" a confused Elliot asked.
"Nothing," Don answered for Fin.
"Ummm…okay? I needa pee so I'm gonna use the bathroom. Be right back." Elliot got up from his seat and walked off.
"What the hell Fin? What were you doing? You can't tell him!" Olivia whispered loudly across the table once Elliot was out of ear shot. "Can you punch him for me, Munch?"
Munch, who was sitting to his left, punched Fin. Well, it wasn't really a punch. It was more like a hit.
"Why'd ya do that?" Fin over dramatized.
"Cause you almost told Elliot!" Olivia practically shouted.
"Well he needs to know!" Fin told her.
"But it'll break his heart…" She looked at her untouched slice pizza.
"Liv, she's CHEATING on him for Pete's sake! We all know he is! Munch even has proof! If he gets married and then finds out, it'll be all bad," Alex said.
"And if he finds out now, then he might realize he loves you." Casey smiled.
"And we all know you love him," George added.
"Wh-what are y-you talk-king ab-bout? I so don't like Elliot!" Olivia lied. "And anyway, even if I did – which I DON'T – he doesn't love me, he loves Kathy."
"What are you talking about? You heard him! He doesn't even have a choice in this marriage! And who are you trying to kid, Liv? We all know!" Munch argued.
"I bet if you tell him how you feel-" Melinda started.
"-or that she's cheating on him-" George added.
"-he'll dump that bitch and call off the wedding and you two can do God knows what," Melinda finished.
Everyone was now looking at her.
"No! I can't do that! We're best friends! What am I supposed to do? Go up to him and say 'I know you're getting married tomorrow but your fiancée is cheating on you. Oh and by the way and I love you.'?" Olivia was now on the verge of tears. ""Is that what you guys want me to tell him? If it is, I can't – won't tell him. No. I just won't."
"Why not, Liv?" Alex asked, putting right arm around her shoulders.
"Yeah. What do you have to lose?" Munch commented.
Olivia closed her eyes. "Him."
"That won't happen, Liv," Captain comforted her.
"I don't want to risk it." She sighed and buried her face in her hands.
"Sorry it took me so long. There were, like, a million guys in there!" Elliot laughed. He turned to Olivia. "What's wrong, Liv?"
Olivia wiped her eyes and looked at him. "Nothing."
"Hey! Who wants to go shopping?" Alex changed the subject.
"Alex! We're not sixteen anymore! We don't need to go to the mall to have fun!" Munch whined.
"Munch, we're all like eighteen. That's only two years older!" Casey remarked matter-of-factly.
"And since when do you have to be sixteen to go to the mall?" Melinda added.
Munch shrugged.
"And besides, I need to get a new outfit for tonight!" Alex told him.
"What's happening tonight?" Elliot asked her.
"Your bachelor party!" Alex shouted.
"So what does that have to do with you?" Fin eyed her.
"We're going, of corse!" she explained.
"But it's for guys only!" Don argued.
"And the last time I checked, you weren't guys," Munch retorted, looking as Alex's chest.
Alex rolled her eyes.
"That's not fair!" Casey complained, putting her soda down.
"We didn't even get invited to Kathy's!" Olivia added.
"So we're going," Melinda told them. "Whether you like it or not."
"Whatever," George said, trying to sound like he didn't care.
"Ugh fiiiiine," were the others reply.
Everyone started to gather up their things and, after a lot of arguing, Don paid for the pizza and sodas, just like he said he was going to. Once they were outside, the nine friends decided which mall they were going to – Weberstown then, if they needed to, Sherwood, which was right across the street – and who was riding with who: Don was driving George and Casey and Fin was driving Melinda, Munch and Alex.
"So I guess I'm stuck driving you," Elliot joked as their friends drove away.
"I guess so," Olivia giggled.
Elliot and Olivia walked to Elliot's car, which was parked across the street. Elliot walked over to the passenger's side instead of the driver's side, like Olivia had expected, and opened the door. "After you." Olivia smiled back at him and half-heartedly rolled her eyes as she sat down. Before he closed the door, he looked at her, as if he wanted to tell her something, but didn't; instead he playfully winked at her, causing her to blush a deep red.
"You're an idiot, El," she told him as he turned on his car.
"If that's what you call a gentleman, then yes, Liv, I'm an idiot." He laughed.
Author's Note
David's Pizza is a real place and I LOVE their pizza! :DDD
Elliot is drinking Mountain Dew because I'm wearing a Mountain Dew shirt right now xD
Weberstown Mall and Sherwood Mall are real malls. They're, like, the only ones even kinda by where I live.
