Secrets (LiAngelo Ball)

Hardest Thing

*Salem's POV*

I walked off the platform and followed the boys to the back room. "That was terrible," I sighed, shaking my head, "I hate talking in front of people."
"Shouldn't have stole something then," Courtney scoffed at me and then walked out. I shook my head a little bit and sighed a bit. "Don't take it personal," LiAngelo sighed, "She's just a little mad."
"Obviously," I sighed, shrugging a little bit. I got my purse off the chair and put on my hoodie. "I just want to go see Cole," I shrugged.
"Who's Cole?" LiAngelo asked right away, snapping his head toward me.
"My best friend," I nodded and walked out of the back room. I followed my dad out of the crowded building and outside was the paparazzi waving their microphones at us and taking pictures. They all yelled out questions such as, "Why did you steal?" "Did you do it cause of the boys?" "Were you framed by the guys?" I just held my head low and didn't say a word. I got into the car and buckled up. "Drop me off at Cole's please," I sighed.
"Okay," my dad agreed to it. I smiled small and leaned back on my seat.

"I fucking hated that," I told Cole, sighing, "Everyone was yelling at us asking why we stole and asking us just stupid questions that really just ugh, I don't know."
"I'm sorry Salem," he sighed.
"I don't know," I shrugged, "It's just stupid. I post a picture on Instagram and everyone comments calling me a thief and telling me I should be locked up for awhile."
"That's such bullshit. Everyone does petty theft but you just did it in the wrong country," Cole laughed.
"I see that," I laughed a bit too, "I just wish people would realize that shit happens and just get over it."
"I know," Cole shook his head. I shrugged it off and put my phone away. "Gelo got all jealous when I brought your name up," I giggled.
"Why?" he laughed.
"Cause you're a boy and he doesn't know you're gay," I laughed.
"Ooo so he does care," Cole smirked.
"Yeah but this is the text I got from Izzy," I handed him my phone, with the messages open. I watched as he read over the small conversation we had. "What a bitch," he scoffed.
"I know right," I shook my head, "It's such bullshit."
"It is," he nodded, "I don't know why she would say she didn't think they would last then he starts becoming friends with a girl then all of a sudden they are on great terms?"
"I don't know," I shook my head, "She's fucking crazy. She's a nice girl but I guess she doesn't know how to make up her mind."
"Or she doesn't want to lose the fame that comes with being a Ball brothers girlfriend," he laughed.
"True," I shook my head and laughed a bit.

"G-Gelo," I moaned as I came undone. He kissed his way back up to my mouth. "Damn you're so tasty," he smirked, kissing on my jaw. I giggled a little bit, my breathing was heavy as I was calming myself down. "I have to go soon," I sighed a bit as he got up to change.
"I know," he sighed a little bit. I got up as well and changed back into my clothes. "You wanna come with me and a few of the UCLA boys to get dinner tonight?" he asked.
"Why don't you ask Izzy to go with?" I asked.
"Cause she lives in Chino," he chuckled.
"Yeah well your girlfriend sent me a pretty shitty text so I think you should start hanging out with her," I shrugged.
"What does it matter what Izzy says?" he laughed, "You never let it bother you before."
"Yeah well until you are done with her for good let me know," I walked out of the room.
"No Salem!" I heard him call after me, "Wait!" I continued to walk away. I got my shoes on and I felt him grab my wrist. He turned me around and his lips pressed against mine. I kissed back and then pulled away. "Let me know when you guys are done," I walked out of the apartment and shut the door behind me. I took a deep breath and sighed. I went to the elevator and started to text Cole.

Me-
Hardest thing I've ever had to do...

Cole-
It's for the best B.

Me-
I hope so.

I put my phone away and went to my car. I got in and wiped the tear that was falling from my eyes. I drove back home, trying not to think about it.

I walked inside and shut the door behind me. "I'm back from Cole's!!" I called, taking my shoes off.
"Okay dinner will be done in a half hour!" I heard my mom yell back to me.
"Okay," I told her and went upstairs. I bumped into Courtney on the way up. "Watch out where your going Salem!" I she scoffed.
"No!" I looked at her, "I'm done with you bitching at me and being a douche bag to me! I stole something! Get over it! I gave it back and apologized for what happened so get the fuck over it Courtney!!"
"What the hell got into you?!" she yelled back, rolling her eyes.
"I've had enough of everyone making me feel bad! I'm sick of it! It was petty theft Courtney! Get over it! Don't think I don't know that you've done it too! I just chose the wrong place to do it! So get the hell over it," I shoved her shoulder and walked past her. I went to my room and shut the door. I sat down on my bed and took a deep breath. I heard my phone go off the 100th time I swear.

Gelo-

Gelo-
