I drive up onto the driveway, and find the other boys sat outside on the doorstep.
"What are you guys doing?" asks Luke. "The owner isn't in. So we will have to wait until she gets back." says Beau, looking down at the floor not even acknowledging my existence. Luke whispers in my ear. "Let's sit down with them, and count how long it takes them to know that you're here. The ignorant faggots." "So, you excited about spending 2 years of your life here boys?" asks Jai. "Fuck yeah, it's LA we can all get hooked up with hot girls." says Beau.
Jai lifts his head up from the ground, and widens his eyes as he sees me. Luke runs up to him, and covers Jai's mouth before he screams "Holy Shit". Luke whispers to him, and Jai now plays along.
After a while James and Skip play along too, until we have sat here for so long and I cough lightly.
Beau lifts his head, looking confused. It takes him a moment to adjust, and he smiles as he recognizes me.
"Finally I can say hi to the rest of you!" I say. "Oh my god, it's you. Katie?! Where you guys all in on this? Was you here the whole time?" asks Beau. "Yeah! You were just to ignorant to look up." "And as a matter of fact, I've already pulled an LA girl. Which I know you were all putting bets on, and I didn't. That was horrible. I win fair and square." says Luke, proudly.
"Excuse me? Since when did I say you had pulled me?" I ask.
We both break into an argument, laughing. Beau sneaks behind me, and wraps his arms around my tummy, carrying me round the back of the house. Throwing me into the pool.
"That's what you get for making me wait so long to go inside the house!" he shouts.
He turns around and I tug on his leg, making him grab onto Luke as they both fall into the pool together. I swim to one end trying to get away from both of them, and I feel one of them pulling me under the water. I open my eyes, holding my breath. Luke laughing, bubbles floating to the top of the water. I pull him closely, and we kiss.
He can hold his breath for so long. I stay under with him, forgetting to swim to the top and breathing in air. I feel myself go light headed, my eyes close slowly. I hear Luke screaming underwater, I see the other boys jumping into the pool wrapping their arms around mine getting me to the top of the water. I black out.
"What was she doing?"
"I don't know, we were both just swimming, and then she started closing her eyes slowly."
"Give her more air Luke."
"Is she okay?"
I sit up, my eyesight all blurry.
"Kat? Can you hear me?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. You all want something to eat?"
"What?"
"I TRICKED YOU FUCKERS HAHAHAHAH" I say.
"Shit Kat, you fucking scared us!" all the boys shout, laughing.
"Shut up, come on let's go get the suitcases from the front and i'll unlock the house."
- 8pm -
"Do any of you want some dinner? I'm okay at cooking, but I need help." I say.
"I'll help." says Luke.
"They all want to know where their rooms are?" he asks.
"You're all sharing my room, silly. Don't get any ideas either." I reply.
"Guys, we're sharing Katie's room!" he says, happily.
We all watch some football, and then all go upstairs to my room. We only have four beds which means one of them will have to share with me.
"Sorry guys, unfortunately one of you have to sleep with smelly me." I announce.
"I will!" they all say together.
After about what seemed 657430 hours they challenge themselves to a game of rock, paper, scissors.
And Luke wins.
"That so should have been a DareSundays video oh my.." I say.
"Well, lucky for you I'll be sharing your bed with you."
The rest are asleep and it's only Luke and me left.
"Luke?"
"Yes?"
"Tell me your past story. You never started from the beginning."
"Neither did you."
"Well what is there that you want to know?" I say.
"I want to know about your ex, and why you live alone."
"My ex is called Jack. He seemed nice at first, but after a year he took me to a party and forced me into things I didn't want to do-"
I can hear Luke sniffling, crying.
"Carry on, ignore me." he says.
"He forced me to do drugs, abused me and raped me. I ran away from him, but he found me. He locked my house up and lit a fire. I couldn't get out. That's why my brother is in hospital, he sees Jack often and Jack's smirk sets him off. He fights. That's why my parents are getting divorced. They all live in England. I ran away, but my mother knows. That's why she signed for you to stay here, so I could meet some friends. And so I found this empty house. The lady next door owns it, as it came in the package of her house. She takes care of me. That's my life."
"Katie, I'm sorry."
"Don't be, I have everything I need here. Even more now."
"And what would that be?" he asks.
"You."
