Chapter 33

Evil Takes Many Forms

Lucas

One day. Less than 24 hours until it all goes down. Tomorrow, I would get Teagan back and prove how much of an idiot I am not to notice that I loved her. So basically, I'm going stag. I have had over a million girls ask me to the dance via Facebook, E-mail, text, and in person. I said no to everyone.

I got my suit and was ready to go. My mind wandered to Teagan and I started to wonder what she was going to wear. I heard that when she was shopping at the mall with her friends, Carrie tried to confront her but Teagan and her friends burned Carrie in front of everyone and ended up with icee all over her. I thought it was really funny. Other people, though, thought it was really rude and immature, but I knew Teagan could care less. 

She is still going with Ty to the ball. Not that I expected her to drop him when we have one bonding moment. I was hoping she would but I knew she wouldn't. I think she still thinks that I'm just using her or something. I didn't really know, but I hope to prove it to her tomorrow night.

Which led to to think...

What was Teagan doing right now..?

Teagan

I twirled around in the mirror, giggling at myself in the mirror. I'm such a girlie-girl. 

"Work it!" Lucy giggled with me, along with the other girls. Lucy, Emma, Darla, and Quincy came over to my house to hang out. Right now we were in our dresses dancing around in the mirror with our masks on listening to music from Pandora, actually we were listening to 'Backseat' by New Boyz. Darla was goofing off and started to dancing. I had to say, she was friggin' amazing at it.

Not to sound wierd but she had great moves, but they were mostly by her hips. Sound strange, doesn't it? Yeah, but it was true. If you have ever seen the Nicki Minaj video for 'Super Bass' and seen that in the video, the dancers were moving their hips and whatnot, well..Darla can do that. It was pretty cool.

I got up and started to dance with her and found that I could do it too. I had never been interested in dancingbecause..well, I was sort of busy, but I like to do it, now and again.

All of a sudden, the song 'Best Love Song' by T-Pain came on and I started to sway my hips and sing along to it. I don't know where it came from but soon, I was full on dancing. Darla joining me while the other girl were laughing at us and singing too.

I don't know why, but I love this song. It has a hidden meaning to me that I have yet to discover. It was my song, I guess. I think I wish that Luke would feel that way about me..but who knows..

"That was amazing, Tee!" Darla squealed and hugged me. The other girls were a chorus of agreements and I blushed. "I just danced." 

They started to laugh, so I decided to let them think what they want.

Two hours later and we were tired from dancing and giggling. Right now, we were all laying on my queen size bed, reading teen magazines and gossiping about people.

It felt good to have real friends again. I think I forgot what it was like. The laughs, the talks, the plain 'ole good time. It felt nice and peaceful but I knew my life was only far from peaceful.

Tomorrow night was going to be the finale. I decided that this has to end between Carrie and I. And the best way is to bring it all out. It sounds more like revenge but I got my full revenge on her. If I did anymore, I would be just like her and I was not going to go there.

"Teagan, truth or dare?" Emma asked. Oh yeah! We were playing truth or dare. I smiled at the memory when Luke, River, and I did truth or dare on the way to that awful camping trip. That was funny..

"Truth." I said simply. I really didn't like dares. Emma grinned evilly. Uh-oh. She asked the words I was hoping not to hear until it became absolutely necessary...

"Do you like Lucas Walters?" 

Did I? I mean after all that has happened to me because of him being my mate and how complicated my life became after that. I mean, did I want to like him? Yes. Of course I did. And I did like him. I have liked him. I guess that's the power of mates. My mom used to tell me things like; mates aren't easy. I guess I understand it now.

"Yes."

They all gasped and a million questions went flying at me.

"Since when?!" Lucy screamed.

"And you didn't tell us?" Quincy asked, confused.

"But what about Ty?! You guys are dating and now you like Luke?!" Darla exclaimed.

Emma didn't say anything, but she had a deep thinking look on her face. Why? I didn't know, but I'm hoping it's nothing about what she had told me the other day..

Darla's comment finally registered in my mind. "Wait! What?! I'm so not dating Ty! He has a girlfriend...Doesn't he?" I said the last part with dread.

"No way! He said you guys were dating and that you were his girlfriend. And he doesn't have a girlfriend, what made you think that..?" Lucy said with a 'duh' tone. 

Oh no. Realization hit me like a pound of bricks. He thought I was his girlfriend. He never had another girlfriend..he thought I was his girlfriend! Oh dear..this can't be good.

"Wait..you guys are together..right?" Darla said cautiously, having come to the same conclusion I did or at least something close to it. I shook my head and sighed. The other girls, not including Emma, looked between us with a confused look. 

"What are you guys talking about? Are they together or not?" Quincy, a little annoyed. I shook my head and said, "Not." 

"Well..this isn't good.." Quincy said and we all nodded our heads in agreement.  I fell back on my bed and sighed. The girls did the same. For the next couple of minutes, it was silent until Lucy sat up and looked confused.

"Then why did you say yes when he asked you to the dance?" The other girls sat up with her and looked at me, expectantly. 

Why did I say yes? I'm not sure, really..I guess I was sort of hoping Luke would ask but when he didn't..I think I wanted to prove that I could get a date. Also, that I didn't need a mate. It all seems silly now, but that's my life. But I couldn't tell this to the girls. 

I shrugged. "I guess..I didn't want to go stag and he offered. I didn't even think he would think I liked him. It's not like I said yes right away..ya know? It took me a little while.." It was a pathetic excuse but thankfully the girls nodded in understanding.

"I can see Ty taking this too far..it's so like him.." Quincy said matter-of-factly. I stole a glance at Emma who looked at me in the corner of her eye. Is that what she was talking about? Ty taking things too far? But what did that mean for me?

So many questions ran trhough my head, but I knew I needed to focus on right now and worry about my life problems later.

"Back to you like Luke!" Lucy said suddenly. I sat up and looked at her amused. 

"Yeah?" 

"How much do you like him!? How long you have liked him for? When did you realize you liked him? Does he like you?? How many kids are you going to have?!" She was shooting out questions like a friggin' gun. I could barely keep up with her and I'm guessing the girls felt the same way because they looked as confused as I was. 

But you know what?

It felt normal. More normal that it had in years.

Ty

 Where is she? She was supposed to be here a half an hour ago! I paced around the forest, clearly annoyed. God, she was the one who wanted to meet me here. I don't get why..I mean, I'm with Teagan. She doesn't know that but she will when she gets here...if she gets here.

I heard some twigs snap to the side of my and I turned and saw her leaning against a tree, looking at her perfectly manicured nails. She was wearing a a short denim skirt and a top that showed her pierced belly button and flat stomach.

She looked hot, I'll admit it, but Teagan was way hotter and she had class.

"Well it took you long enough." I said, making it clear I was annoyed. She scoffed and rolled her blue eyes.

"Whatever. You didn't have to come." Carrie said with disgust in her voice, looking at me. She pushed up from the tree and stalking to me, her small hips swaying with grace. 

"Yeah, well..you said it was important." I said, trying not to focus on her body. You like Teagan, dude! 

"Yeah, it is. It's a little..err..job I have for you." She said, trying to choose her choice of words carefully. The reason? I did not know, but I don't think I would want to. Carrie was close to me that I could feel her warm breath on me. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she pulled me down to her level, since she was so short. My mind became clouded as lust replaced every thought. But I finally found my bearings as I thought of Teagan.

"Why would I help you? You hate Teagan and Teagan hates you. Teagan is my girlfriend. I shouldn't even be here." I said untangling myself from this chick. She looked pissed off her seducing didn't work, but sighed.

"Because she doesn't really like you. She is fucking someone behind your back.." I scoffed at that. Yeah right. Ever since she started to hang out with my friends and I, she really hasn't been too whore-ish. Then I asked her to the dance and she hasn't been seen with any guys..that I know of. I finally realized it was because she liked me. I knew she didn't like Rick because he liked someone else, so that left me.

I took her hints and now we are together. Simple as that.

"Whatever. I don't have time for these lies." I told her, walking away. Suddenly, she grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"Don't you want to know who?" She said with an evil grin. My curiosity got the better of me and nodded.

"Lucas Walters. And I have proof." She took something out of her bag, which I just noticed she just had.

A couple minutes later and I was fuming. "So..that job still available?" I asked with my teeth gritted. Carrie smiled and looped her arm through mine.

"Of course."

First of all, I must say I am SO very sorry. But I didn't know how to approach the situation that happened in this chapter. It was complicated and a LOT to take in. It is confusing, even for me, but this chapter was so hard to explain. I'm sorry again. I needed to take the time for this chapter. It's not too long, but longer than one page. Haha. So we just found out some interesting things in this chapter. What do you think? 

Hey I have a HUGE thing to ask you guys. Can we get this past the 100's on the What's Hot list? I have gotten as low as #124, but that's it. If you guys can, can we get it to like #90 or something? If not, that's ok (:

Song at right: 'Best Love Song' by. T-Pain Feat. Chris Brown. It's amazing >>>>
