Always

Chapter 14

"F*ck you both." Brennen said, standing up and going to the bathroom. Tara was looking around the room. "Where's Jake?" She asked. "And what is on your face Corey?" Corey's face, which had been turned up in a big smile, dropped. "What did you guys do? No you didn't. Devyn, what did they do to me baby?" She just started laughing pointing at his face. "They drew on you babe." "No...is it permanent marker. I hate you guys." He moved Devyn off of him and stood up. "Colby, I'm using your bathroom, since Brennen is in the other one." Not waiting for a reply, he went into our bedroom. Everyone was laughing now, except Tara. "No, seriously you guys. Where is Jake?" I pointed to the balcony, just as we heard him yell. "I'm out here." Tara got up and slid the glass door open. "Oh baby...what did they do to you? Aww, huh, aww." She was trying not to laugh. "I need help Tara. I can't get out." Sam and Colby both walked closer to the door, laughing. I walked up beside Colby, leaning around to try and see what was going on. Tara had gotten the blanket about halfway unrolled, but she was having difficulties. "Guys...come on, get me out of here." Jake said, staring at Sam and Colby. They were laughing so hard, there were tears forming, and leaking out the corners of their eyes. "Okay, okay, hold on." Colby said, going onto the balcony. Sam followed him and Tara moved back inside, out of the way, smiling and shaking her head. They got him unrolled, and I saw that his hands and feet were tied together, making him literally unable to move. He held his arms out to Colby. "Untie me, you b*tch." He said, grumpily. "B*tch?" Colby said, raising his eyebrows. "I don't know Jakey. Looks like you're my b*tch right now." He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "What do you think Sam? Think we should leave him like this for a little while, till he learns some manners?" Sam put rubbed his chin, thoughtfully, then held his hand out palm up. "A little longer couldn't hurt." "No, guys!" Sam and Colby started back inside. "Guys, untie me! Colby!" Colby walked inside. "Sam!" Sam walked inside. "Guys please!" Jake started begging a little. "Say it!" Colby demanded, turning back towards him, with his hand on the glass door, ready to close it. "Say what?" Jake asked, exasperatedly. "That you're our b*tch. Admit it and we untie you." Sam replied. "I hate you guys so much." Jake said under his breath. "Okay." Colby started to slide the door closed. "Wait! FINE! I'm your b*tch." He muttered. "What was that?" Colby asked. "Yeah, we couldn't hear you. Speak up." Sam held his hand behind his ear. "I'M YOUR B*TCH!" Jake yelled. "NOW UNTIE ME!" "Okay brother, damn! Calm down!" Colby laughed as he and Sam stepped back out onto the balcony and untied Jake's hands and feet. Jake slung the rope off of himself, and stood up. He smiled a little. "I really hate you guys." Colby threw his arm around his neck. "But you're still our b*tch, B*tch!" By this time, everyone in the room was laughing. They came back inside and everyone except Tara sat down on the couch. She went to the kitchen, got some paper towels and began wetting them in the sink. "What are you doing babe?" Jake called out. She didn't answer but walked back over to us, wet paper towels in hand. She held them out to Jake. The bathrooms are full but you might want to clean your face. There's a d*ck on it." The laugh escaped me before I even knew it. She stated it so matter of factually, like it was just a normal thing...which I guess it was around these guys. "What? Nooo," he grabbed the towels from her and hurried to Colby's full length mirror that he had propped against the wall. "Brottheeeeerr....whyyyyy?" Jake started scrubbing at his face, trying to get the marker off. It smeared and lightened but didn't go away. "Permanent marker? Really? I really f**king hate you guys." Sam and Colby burst out laughing again. "You know there will be payback, right?" Jake said, rubbing hard at the penis on his face. Corey burst out of our bedroom right then, screaming "You've just started another Prank War b*tches! No one is safe!" "Corey NO!" Devyn cried. Corey immediately calmed down and looked at her, speaking in a normal tone. "Why not babe?" Devyn shook her head. "Because my anxiety can't take it! You guys have everyone on their toes, even if we aren't involved because we might get caught in the cross-hairs. I didn't sleep for a month last time...or the time before that. Especially the time before that with Elton!" All of the guys smiled. "Yeah, but we don't live together now so it'll be different." Corey replied, going up to her and wrapping his arm around her. "Besides, it's Sam and Colby's fault. Blame them." "That's why we made you all our b*tches last night Corey." Colby said, winking at him. The word "b*tch" was still very prominent on Corey's face, while the rest was faded out. "F*ck you Colby. I'mma get you back." He looked from Colby to Sam. "Both of you." "Bring it brother." Sam said, grinning and motioning with his fingers. Brennen came out of the bathroom then. "You know, I'm not even involved with these damn prank wars. How the hell did I end up in it?" "You were here and you passed out." Sam shrugged. "Simple as that bro." Colby laughed bringing his fist up, covering his mouth. Brennen flipped them both off. "I have to shoot a video today so I guess I'm just glad that I didn't get the permanent marker." He replied, holding his hand out to Serena.
