The rest of the night is spent with me hanging out with Quinn, along with a bunch of my sorority sisters at the sorority house. We all sit in the social room on the couches, laughing and having a good time.
“What are you doing here?” Cara asks Meg.
“I live here,” she says looking confused.
“I just thought you would be out with sexy man tonight.”
“No, he’s with his friends tonight,” she says like it’s no big deal.
“Sexy man?” I ask confused.
“Her nickname for her boyfriend,” Julie states.
“Nice,” I say with a smile.
“So, are you girls ready for Christmas break?” Cara asks changing the subject.
We all socialize and before I know it, the night is almost over. Quinn and I are drunk and decide to head back to the dorm to get some sleep.
Brody, Kenzie, and I say our goodbye’s in the morning and I look forward to seeing them in a few days.
Chapter Five
Christmas break is just what I needed. I get to spend time with Kenzie and Brody along with getting to see my parents. I also make sure to spend time with Isaac, he’s 13 now and growing into a fine young man. It’s crazy how Liam and Isaac look so much alike. I mean they are brothers but wow, it’s crazy.
My parents were confused at first with my different color hair and my new tattoo, but when I explained why I colored my hair and about the tattoo, they complimented me on it. I couldn’t feel any happier, I have pretty cool parents.
I’ve avoided Liam at every cost. I know he saw me in my car, but I quickly diverted my eyes and floored it, so I didn’t have to talk to him. Other than that, he hasn’t been home much, which I’m grateful for.
Before I know it, I’m heading back to school after break. I’m looking forward to seeing Quinn again, but I’m going to miss Kenzie and Brody. We promise to keep in touch better this time around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the next three months, life is great. I attend the social gatherings the sorority has and have even made some close friends out of it. Meg the President is pretty awesome along with Rebecca. Rebecca and Quinn are my best friends at school.
“You should totally come with us for spring break,” Cara one of the sisters, says excitedly.
“I can’t, I promised my sister I would go home and hang out with her and Brody.”
“So, bring them along,” she says like it’s no big deal.
“Maybe next time,” I say truthfully. I’m ready to go home for a week. “You guys have fun in Miami though!”
“Oh, we definitely will,” Quinn pipes in.
We hang out until it’s time for us to leave, me to go home and the girls to head to Miami. I drive the long drive home and can’t wait to see everyone.
“Holy shit, I thought you were never going to get here,” Kenzie says as she comes out to help me grab my bags.
“I hit some traffic on the way home,” I say as I follow her inside. We end up talking and hanging out, catching each other up on the recent activities.
“Oh girls,” mom says, “We are having dinner at the Masters tomorrow at 6:00 p.m.”
“Okay,” I say. We have dinner parties often with the neighbors. Before we know it, Saturday is here and we are getting ready to head over for dinner.
“Girls, your father and I are heading over, come over within the next ten minutes,” Mom yells up the steps.
“Okay,” we both shout in unison.
I’m wearing a pair of skinny jeans with a purple V-neck sweater, whereas Kenzie is wearing a pair of jeans with a blue blouse that helps bring out her eyes.
“Ready to go?” I ask her.
“Yep, just let me throw on my eyeliner,” she says as she heads into the bathroom. I follow her in deciding to throw some on too and we end up talking and losing track of time.
“Shit, mom’s going to kill us,” I say as I look at the clock and realize its 25 minutes past when we were supposed to be over at the Masters house. We run across the street and open the door heading to the dining room where we hear lots of laughter.
“Sorry we’re so late, we lost track of time,” I try to tell everyone.
“Haley?” I hear from behind me. I turn to see Liam and Meg sitting at the table.
“Meg?” I ask confused. She gets up and gives me a hug, “This is my sister Kenzie,” I say introducing the two, looking anywhere, but where Liam is. Holy shit, what is happening?
“We are going to grab the rest of the food,” Mom says, “Isaac can you go get the guys?”
“Sure,” he says before leaving the room.
“How do you two know each other?” Liam asks looking confused, as he now stands beside Meg in front of me.
