You Can't Lie Anymore

Chapter-6

"Hey"

"Olivia, where are you?"

"I had to go home early so...I left"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, just needed to avoid Carter, so"

"hmm, fine", I said.

And she disconnected the call. And I was shocked.

"Did she just hung up on you?" Ryan said.

"I know...... right" I knew something was wrong with her, and this just confirmed it.

"She had to go home", I informed the group.

As I said this Carter rushed to his car, and drove off the school parking.

"Should we follow him?" Ryan asked, still confused.

"Let's give them some space", I said, and both of them nodded in agreement.

Since we had to arrange the event, Adam, Ryan and I decided to head over to Adam's house for the discussion. Since, I had to drive my car to his place, and both of them were in another car, all I could do was think, think of was how everything after Sunday had changed.

We headed to Adam's room, since his parents were off to work. Mr. Dankworth, the butler, arranged a hearty meal for us.  He is a wonderful man. He has been very close to Adam, and we love to have him around.

"Do you need anything else?", said Mr. Dankworth.

"That will be all, sir", said Ryan.

"Alright, have a good day 'sir' ", he laughed while stressing the 'sir' and with this left us a cart of food in Adam's room.

"What is the revenue for the event?" I asked them.

"Same as last year", Adam sighed.

"That means, it isn't enough, again", Ryan concluded.

"We did manage it last year as well, let's not change things, we will only replace a few counters with newer ideas, keeping the expenses same", I looked at both of them.

"Let's not buy new posters, what do you think about handmade," Adam said.

"Don't tell me we are the new art and craft gang now", Ryan said giving Adam the most disguisting look.

"We won't do it, the volunters will be", I said, Adam gave me the 'I'm impressed look', and I lightly padded my shoulders.

"So Adam, you are handling finances, Ryan location and setting up of each counter, an I will take care of the volunters, and poster"

"Done with work? Adam , FIFA please?", Ryan said earning a glare from me.

Adam chucked, after looking at me, and Ryan sat in a 'defence mode on' posture.  And I knew that was my turn to turn the tables on  them, so I did what I should have done, and without giving them a hint ran towards the gaming room, and took one out of the two seats. Realizing my victory, Ryan entered the room, followed by Adam, and before he could sit on the other seat, he was pulled back by Adam, by the edge of his hoodie from the back of his neck, and Adam sat on the seat in one swift move from the other side of the gaming.

"You've still got a lot to learn 'kiddo'," I said to Ryan, feeding him his own 'kiddo' medicine.

Ryan being Ryan started whining like a child, and Adam and I laughed, while turning the gaming console on.

"Ryan, come on be useful now, and turn the lights on" , I told him, instanty earning a glare, "Please, Ryan?" .

"Fine, but seriously, I hate you both"

"Awwwww, we love you Ryan", Adam said, mimicking Summer.

"That was definitely rude". Ryan said looking at Adam.

"ohhhhhhh Summer reference", I giggled.

He shrugged it of for the moment, and Adam and I started gaming.

After an hour, I finally gave the controller to Ryan, who had been whining continuosely while I was playing. He cheered like a child would and hurriedly took the controller from my hand. Damn I hadn't informed my parents that I wil be home late, and to do so, I started looking for my phone. I had left it in Adam's room, entering the room I saw my phone ringing but before I could pick up the call it went off. And then I saw 5 missed calls from Olivia.

Something was seriuosly wrong. Taylor, or Carter, I had no idea. But I needed to make sure she is fine. I called her back, but she didn't answer. I called her mom, but she didn't answer and the call was directed to her voicemail. I rushed to the gaming room.

"Something's wrong with Olivia, guys I'm leaving", saying this I rushed down the flight of stair, and I regretted it the instant I missed a step, and in a moment I fell of the stairs landing on the Italian marble on my back, which definitely didn't seem beautiful to me anymore.

"What the hell?", I heard Adam say, as they rushed down the stairs for me.

"I'm fine, guys", saying this I ran out of the door towards my car. The next instant, Ryan got a hold of my wrist and dragged me to Aam's car. I sat in the back seat, the guys in the front, and we drove of to Olivia's house. Sitting in the back seat of the car I couldn't help but notice the bruise formed on my right arm, and blood flowing from the cut that was formed on my knee. And the worst part, my ass was numb, like a little, but still a lot.

As soon as we reached her house, the three of us rushed in entering through door

"Olivia" I screamed, on seeing her unconsious on the floor.

Holding her head , and placing it on my lap while sitting down, I tried waking her up. I couldn't help but notice the leakage of gas in the house. Ryan switched off the knob of the stove, and Adam opened the windows of the lounge and kitchen.

"Olivia, please wake up, Olivia?", I started panicking.
