I chuckled. “Believe me, I know.”
I was surprised she hadn’t put up much fight. I think she knew the real reason I didn’t want her to go, and probably wanted to avoid me getting in a fight—which would result in our parent’s finding out that we had both snuck out.
“Have fun,” she smiled, closing the bathroom door.
“Night, Cayla-belle,” I said softly, so low that she couldn’t hear me.
I eased the window up completely and eased outside, crouching on the roof. I waited a minute to make sure Cayla wasn’t going to reappear—or one of my parents—then closed it.
I tiptoed down the eave of the roof, spotting the taillights of Kyle’s car waiting down the street for me.
I lowered to my stomach, sliding over the edge and grabbing on. I dropped down to the ground, careful to tuck my body so I didn’t injure myself.
Getting down was the easy part of sneaking out. Getting back up…now that was a different story.
I jogged down the street to Kyle’s white car.
“Dude, what the fuck took so long?” He asked when I finally slid into the passenger seat.
“My sister caught me,” I muttered.
Kyle grinned and I didn’t like his smile one bit. “Why didn’t you bring her? She’s hot, I’m sure someone could’ve had some fun with her.”
I glared at him, my fists clenched. “Don’t talk about my sister like that.”
Kyle raised his hands in mock surrender, a smirk playing on his thin lips. “It’s the truth. A lot of the guys would love to have a piece of—”
I punched the side of his face.
I didn’t care if he was my friend or not.
No one talked about my baby sister like that. Hopefully he’d learn from this and so would the other guys.
“Fuck, Caelan, did you really need to punch me?”
“Yeah, I really did. Maybe that will teach you that running your mouth about my sister is a bad idea,” I retorted. “Would you want me to make comments about your sister?”
“My sister is fourteen,” he countered.
“Mine’s only sixteen,” I continued to pin him with a glare.
“Fine, whatever dude. She isn’t worth getting punched over for no-fucking-reason,” he hissed.
He finally pulled away from the curb.
“Where’s this party at?” I asked.
After we’d won the football game I had to head home for dinner—my parents were really big on family time. Sometimes ‘family time’ could be a major pain in the ass since it kept me from doing stuff with friends, but when I heard some of them talk about how messed up their families were I was silently thankful for my overbearing parents.
“The Cove,” he answered, winding around a turn too fast. I knew better than to complain. He’d only speed up.
The Cove wasn’t really a cove at all. It was a rock formation near the lake that provided great shelter from the surrounding neighborhoods. As long as we kept the noise level reasonable, most people didn’t know we were out there.
“Leah is going to be there,” Kyle said casually, watching me out of the corner of his eye for a reaction.
I’d been going after Leah for a few weeks now. She always tried to blow me off, but I could tell I was breaking down her walls. It wouldn’t be long until I had her right where I wanted her. She was enjoying playing hard to get, and I was enjoying the chase, but it ended tonight. I’d have her.
Kyle parked a block over from The Cove and we walked from that point. People would get suspicious if a bunch of cars were parked too close.
