The Boy Next Door

22 - It was one hell of a fucking night

"Can you ask Dylan for his keys," April cried.

"Yeah yeah of course. You want me to come with you?" I asked.

"No I'll be fine," She sniffled.

I gave her a small smile and went back into the pub looking for Dylan.

I told him what had happened and he walked out the door, anxious, without saying a word.

I trusted that April would tell me if she wanted my company and I texted her to call me if she wanted anything.

Moments later Dylan came back towards unexpectedly.

"What happened?" Cole asked, Noah looked rather concerned as well.

"She insisted on being alone," Dylan said, kind of annoyed.

"I kind of want to leave," I thought, and Noah it right then.

"Yeah me too," I nodded.

"It's only 10:00, we can't sneak onto campus before 11:30, the security will be fully awake..." Dylan said.

"You wanna crash at mine?" He added.

"I have morning swim practice," Noah said.

"Yeah aight, I'll get us a couple beers, you guys wait outside," Dylan smiled, throwing his keys to Cole.

"Cole?," Bella chirped.

"Hmm?"

"There's something I wanted to talk to you about," She hummed softly, leaning into him.

"OKAY," Noah said loudly. "Let's wait outside...in the car maybe." He added.
"You guys can talk when you're sober," He said to Bella.

There was definitely something going on between Cole and Bella. It was pretty obvious. I just didn't fully understand their dynamic.

Once we got to the truck, we sat in the back, and waited for Dylan to come back with the drinks.

"Yo," He said, jumping into the back of the truck.

"I got you gum," He said to me, throwing me a packet of doublemint.

I asked him for some before, and I guess he found a packet.

"Here you go," He said, handing bottles of beer to Noah, Cole and me.

"What about me," Bella complained, and he shook his head.

"You need to sober up," He said.

"Kiara you wanna see who can chug faster," Noah grinned.

"Bet," I said, popping the bottle of beer open with my teeth.

"Ayo what the fuck," Cole said, amused.

"Huh?!" Noah gasped as I spat the lid off the bottle onto the floor.

"I can see it in the headlines tommorow," Dylan said. "Rich white girl opens beer bottle with her teeth. Her mother finally signs emancipation documents,"

I laughed. "Oh shutup," I rolled my eyes. "I told you I wasn't entirely useless," I grinned.

Dylan laughed.

Cole walked over to the front of the truck to throw something away, and while walking back tripped on something.

I kid you not when I say that was the funniest thing I'd ever seen.

I'm not sure why I found it so funny, but I just could not stop laughing.

Everyone chuckled a little, but holy fuck I just went on laughing.
