The thought of disappointing Liam with the news that we’re leaving here today crushes me, but, more than that, I wonder how Brady will react. In the short time we’ve been here, Brady and Liam have formed a friendship. If that was all it was, I wouldn’t be worried.
But, the secret is always looming in the background.
As it is now, I have to watch what I say around them, and I have to be especially vigilant when they’re together in the same room, like they are now. Liam knows something’s up with me. He’s asked me a few times why I seem tense, stressed out.
If only I can tell him why…
My phone vibrates with another text notification.
“Hey, Izzie, come join us,” Brady says as I pull my phone out.
“Actually, Liam and I—”
And that’s when I see it. The second text from Alex:Shit, dude! My stupid upstairs neighbor flooded my bathroom. Maintenance is gonna have those big industrial fans going in here for a day or two. Postpone the sleepover? :(
Fuck. What do I do now?
“What, Mom?” Liam asks. “You wanna play me next?”
“Why not,” I say, walking into the living room and sitting down with Liam between Brady and me. “I’ll take on the winner.”
“Oh, you’re going down, Izzie,” Brady says, exchanging a high five with Liam.
