Chapter 4: You're B-U-S-T-E-D. You're busted!

Rage guy going FFFFFFUUUU so that you know what Heather is talking about :)

Dedicated to @jkanel2405

I couldn't help but grin like a fool when I flopped onto my bed. Grabbing my phone, I scrolled through Instagram, stalking one or two people. Oh come on. It's not like you don't do it, too.

I took a long, deserved, victory shower as the warm jets of water hit me making me sigh in relaxation. Steam filled up the entire bathroom and the mirror was completely covered in steam when I got out.

I changed into my Batman t-shirt and leggings, then tied my hair into a messy bun. It was 7 pm and I was starving. I got out of my room to see Lily watching Silver Linings Playbook on Netflix.

I noticed a huge box of pizza, a takeaway from McDonalds and a large Pepsi on the table. My stomach growled which turned Lily's head. Immediately Lily saw me, she turned off the TV and gave me a look. You know, the tell-me-the-details-look.

I grabbed my Double Cheeseburger and poured myself a cup of soda. I took one bite out of the burger and sighed as I tasted the different flavors, which sent my taste buds to heaven. I took a big sip of my Pepsi and I saw Lily folding her arms, glaring at me.

I sighed. "Remember when I got drunk on Monday?" Lily nodded. "Remember the guy I was with?"

Lily frowned for a moment, trying to recall the person. I sighed because when it came to remembering people for Lily, her brain was similar to a goldfish. Unless they catch her attention.

Lily nodded again. "That's Edward," I said. Lily gave me the "duh" look. Of course she knew his name, he had introduced himself.

"The next day I went to work and it turns out that he works with me," I continued. I took another bite of my delectable hamburger.

"So did he ask you out or you asked him out?" Lily pressed. The burger got stuck in my throat. I wanted to get Trevor off my back but I can't tell Lily that he's been cheating on her. But I can't lie to Lily. She's my best friend and it hurts me when I lie to her.

"Actually, Lily, there's something I need to tell you," I said, my stomach going queasy and it wasn't from all that fat from the burger. "Yeah?" Lily asked, staring at me with an intimidating look.

"I'm not dating Edward," I admitted. Lily was puzzled. "I said that because..." I can't tell her. She'll either be devastated or won't believe me.

"You said that because?" Lily was waiting for me to continue. Suddenly, the smartest thing appeared into my head. "I'm trying to make Alejandro jealous. So I said I was dating Edward. I want that bastard to pay for what he put me through 3 years ago,"

An evil smirk appeared on Lily's face. "Good thinking. He'll see how much he's missing out when you're with that attractive English man,"

I groaned remembering that's how Edward is saved on my contact list. "Can you please not say that?" I turned on the TV, watching Silver Linings Playbook.

"What? I can't deny the obvious," Lily shoved a pepperoni pizza into her mouth, averting her eyes back to the movie.

****

After the movie, I thought about what I told Lily. That wasn't a bad idea, actually. So I got my phone once I was certain Lily was in bed, and I texted Edward:

Slight change of plans. You're my new boyfriend to make Alejandro jealous ~H

He replied 2 minutes later.

Why are we making Alejandro jealous ~Attractive English Man.

Ooh. That's right. Edward doesn't know. I should probably tell him because I need him for the plan to work.

Swear not to tell? ~H.

Scouts honor ~Attractive English Man.

And so I told him everything that I told Lily. How much Alejandro and I kissed. The competition, Total Drama. And him running away from me on the final episode. How he hadn't texted or made contact with me for 3 years until Monday.

He put you through that?! That man isnt worthy enough to be called a gentleman! There goes all the self-respect I had for him ~Attractive English Man.

Finally, someone who gets it. So you're in? ~H.

Yes, I'm in! So what do you have in store for Mr Burrom - I mean, Alejandro? ~Attractive English Man.

That's where you come in. Aren't you a love expert or something? ~H.

Why, yes. Yes, I am. How did you know? ~Attractive English Man.

Just a wild guess ~H.

Your guess is correct. Give me some time to work it all out and then I'll get back to you, okay? ~ Attractive English Man.

Okay. Thanks, Edward ~H.

Don't mention it. Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow? ~Attractive English Man.

Yes. I would love it if you did that ~H.

Great! So I'll be at your place at 10:30 ~Attractive English Man.

Perfect. Thank you so much, once again~ H.

You can thank me by giving me what I want from you~ Attractive English Man.

And what do you want? ~H.

A well thought out, four page apology on what you've done to me since we've met ~Attractive English Man.

Four words. Not. Going. To. Happen ~H.

You've got to give me at least something. ~Attractive English Man.

Goodnight Edward ~H.

Night, darling. Dream of me ;) ~Attractive English Man.

I rolled my eyes at Edward's text. This guy is so weird. I wonder how his friends would be when I meet them this Friday.

****

"So Heather, ready for tonight?" Edward asked at lunch. It was Friday, 1 pm. I was seated on my usual table with Edward and Linda. I guess you could say that we are besties.

"Yes," I smiled and turned to Linda on my left. "I can't believe you're not coming. You're leaving me for an entire night with Edward and his Neanderthals for friends,"

Edward punched my arm. "They aren't Neanderthals. They are jerks, I admit, but not Neanderthals. They are the most civilized people I know,"

Linda laughed. "I'm sorry Heather but I already had plans. I'll make it up to you, though. How about shopping on Sunday?"

I thought over it. Lily was spending the entire weekend with Trevor because he was taking her to someplace.

"Sure. Sounds perfect," I put my hand on top of Linda's and smiled. Suddenly, Edward's giant hand was on top of mine.

"Count me in, girls. We can totally do makeovers, no offense Linda but if there is any Neanderthal here, it's you," Edward joked, earning him a punch on his shoulder by Linda.

"It's a girls only," Linda emphasized making Edward stick out his lip and pout. I laughed at him, when he turned to me and stuck out his tongue, childishly. How mature of him.

Suddenly, Linda turned to me and gave me a wicked smile. "We should definitely stop by that new...taco place that came up. I heard that their food is to die for,"

Edward's eyes widened by a fraction as soon as he heard the word 'taco'.

I caught on and smirked. "Oh yeah! I've heard about it from my roommate Lily! We should definitely go!"

"And we should have a sleepover afterwards!"

"Totally!"

Edward's eyes widened and he clasped his hands together. "I'll give you 10 dollars if you let me go with you so that I can hear all your girlish secrets! Please!"

"Sorry, girls only," Linda and I said in unison, giving each other high fives. Edward glared at both of us and folded his arms.

"Oh I see. You're doing this to torture me. Nice try, but it isn't working," Edward huffed. "I can't be swayed that easily,"

"Whatever you say, Eddie," Linda rolled her eyes, snickering at his reaction mere moments ago. I joined in and Edward left the table, frustrated at our snickering.

****

"Have fun bowling," Lily hugged me goodbye. She had a red, small suitcase with her clothes. She wore a yellow sunflower dress, with brown flats. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and she wore gold earrings and a gold necklace to compliment her look. Lily looked amazing, as always.

"Have fun with Trevor. Bring me back something, okay?" I squeezed her and inhaled her strawberry shampoo. Lily always smelt like strawberries.

"I can't bring you back something if you keep squeezing me like a stress ball. Losing oxygen here," Lily patted my back and I let go.

"That's your punishment if you don't bring me back something," I smiled and Lily put her arms up in surrender. Trevor coughed, bringing our moment to an end, because both of us forgot that he was here.

Lily gave me one last hug. "I'll bring you back something, I promise," I felt her arms let go of me and I saw her leave with Trevor, who's hands were in his pocket.

It was 6:30 pm and I knew that I had to get ready. I got into the shower and spent a good 15 minutes in there. I had 15 minutes left before Edward came to pick me up. I put on my underwear and I put on a black sweatshirt written 38 on it. I wore grey jeans and my favorite sneakers. I let my black hair down and wore a beanie.

Just as I was putting eyeliner, I heard the doorbell ring. They must be here. I grabbed my phone and put it in my pocket. I applied some lip balm on my lips before answering the door, revealing an Edward in casual wear.

"Ready?" Edward asked. I nodded. I got out and locked the door, before following Edward down the steps. At the driveway was Edward's black Hammer and Alejandro was seated at the front.

I climbed into the back seat and fastened my seatbelt. Edward started the car, and off we went to somewhere I didn't know.

"Did I tell you Alejandro, that the chair your seated on, is the seat where Heather 'relaxed all over'?" Edward spoke as he drove. He then scrunched up his nose and moved his hand back and forth from his nose, as if it reeked of filth and faeces.

Alejandro raised an eyebrow at me.

I kicked Edward's seat from the back. "I did not," I said, angry that he actually said that.

"Hey, I'm the driver here. I'm trying to drive," Edward tilted the mirror in the car to see me. My fingers pretended to slit my throat wide open and he laughed.

"Now Heather, if you start to behave like this, I won't give you that special treat I was going to give you tonight," Edward adjusted the mirror back to where it was originally. Alejandro tensed up on his seat, which reminded me of my plan.

"You mean..."

"Yes,"


"I dont like you. I don't like you at all," I folded my arms and glanced at the view the window gave me. "You have the upper hand,"

"Heather, you know you like me as much as I like you," Edward grinned, before glancing at me once again. "Don't be like that. I'm sorry, okay? You really hurt my feelings the other day, when you and Linda refused me to join you at your sleepover,"

It was petty, I know, but we both had to milk it.

I refused to answer but I did sneak a glance at Alejandro. His jaw was clenched and he turned to face the window. His hands were curled into a fist and his eyes were narrowed. My plan was working. But that lasted for 2 seconds, before he spoke.

"Linda and Heather were going to have a sleepover?" Alejandro asked, not glancing at either of us. I turned to look at Heather, giving him a death glare. Edward glanced at me through the mirror, an amused expression written all over his face.

If he dare say yes...

"Can you believe it? They won't let me go," Edward whined and then smirked at me. You know Rage Guy from those meme faces where he is like FFFFFFUU? That was my face at the moment.

"We don't need permission. We can just go. It's not like there's a rule where we can't go to a sleepover," Alejandro grinned at Edward.

I glared at them both. "Uh, there is. You have to be invited --"

"You're right. They're going on Sunday. We'll just drop by," Edward smiled back. I kicked his seat again with more force because I was fuming.

That good-for-nothing, self-obsessed, annoyi--

"We're here," Edward brought the car to a halt, rudely interrupting my rant. I got out of the car and adjusted my dark grey beanie. I followed Alejandro and Edward because I honestly had no idea where we were, which could be a bad thing. Those bastards can ditch me and run away, leaving me stranded.

Just like Alejandro did, my heart throbbed.

It was a huge place, filled with lots of people, so I was guessing that this place must be popular. Edward waved at couple of guys and they waved back. Those must be his friends.

I got my bowling shoes and followed Edward to meet them. All of them were attractive, cliché as it sounds. But most of them had girlfriends with them. Of course they would. With their attractiveness, I'd be surprised if they didn't have one.

"Hey," Edward greeted them. He hugged some, then did fist bump with others and even secret handshakes. They must be really close.

"What's this?" One of the guys pushed Edward aside and stared right at me. "You brought a girl? You finally found one, mate?"

Edward pushed the guy aside and automatically put his arm on my shoulder. "This is Heather. My girlfriend,"

"I can speak for myself, you know," I removed his arm off of me. I was still mad that he told Alejandro about our plans on Sunday.

"Ooh, feisty," Another guy said, which earned him a slap behind the head from Edward.

"She's mine so don't even think about that, Jace. Besides, don't you have a girlfriend?" Edward put his arm back on my shoulder and I held his waist.

"Yes, unfortunately, that dude has managed to lure her away from me," Jace hit a girl who was staring at something behind me.

Of course it's Alejandro. I don't even need to turn. He's got that effect on women.

"That's Alejandro. A close friend of mine," Edward said and Alejandro just stared at the Jace's girl. Finally, he winked at her, turning the girls face redder than a baboons butt.

"Oi! That's my girl, you brute! Paws off!" Jace shoved Alejandro and Alejandro raised his arms in surrender.

"I'm sorry. I did not know that she was your girl," Alejandro apologized.

Jace looked at Alejandro, to see any sincerity. "You better be sorry or I will personally make you sorry," Jace scoffed.

"Heather and Alejandro, that's Jace, you already know. Then that's Michael, Liam and Will. Then Jace's girl friend Chantal, Michael's girlfriend Amelie, Liam's girlfriend Jennifer and Will's girlfriend, Mary," Edward introduced everyone.

"Hey," I said and I was replied with 'hi' or 'hey'. Alejandro just smiled warmly and he was either nodded to or the girls just ogled at him.

"Alright. Let's play," Edward said. I sat on a bench and put my shoes on. I then grabbed a bowling bowl and joined the rest.

Alejandro bent down, threw the bowling bowl and it hit the ten bowling pins. Everyone cheered and he got patted on the back.

"My turn. I'll show you idiots how it's done," I said, my sentence practically oozing with sass.

I crouched down and I began to calculate the angle and precision I needed to throw the heavy, black, bowling ball.

"You're a lucky guy," Jace commented. "Gorgeous and confident? I wish I was her boyfriend,"

"Shut up, Jace," Edward replied, annoyed.

I turned around, frowned at him and that jerk had the nerve to wink at me, yet a few minutes ago, his girlfriend was hitting on Alejandro.

Edward was right. He was a jerk.

I threw the ball and like the boss I was, it hit the ten pins. Everyone cheered and I grinned because if I've learnt anything from my arrogant sister, it was how to bowl and I was a pro.

****

We played until 9 pm until we got hungry and decided to go to Burger King. We pigged out on fries and burgers until none of us could eat anymore.

I hadn't laughed so hard in such a long while. The guys told me stories of how they grew up together and how one time they blew up the school because of a Chemistry experiment gone horribly wrong.

I needed to use the washroom, so I excused myself and disappeared into the bathroom. After flushing the toilet, I applied more lip balm to my chapped lips, adjusted my beanie and headed out.

However, when I was getting out of the bathroom, I heard familiar voices in one of the cubicles. I continued to walk until I heard a deep, familiar voice. I tiptoed to the cubicle which was slightly open and to be honest, I wasn't surprised the slightest bit.

Alejandro was in there with Jace's girlfriend in an intimate make out session. Jace's girl had her back facing to me and Alejandro's eyes were shut.

I can't watch this yet Linda is somewhere else, unaware that her supposedly 'boyfriend' was cheating on her. It happened to me before and I can't let it happen to her.

Without a question, I fished into my pocket, got my camera out and took a few photos, then I recorded them.

"I can't do this," Jace's girl said after they broke apart, panting for air. "I'm with Jace. And don't you have a girlfriend?"

Yes Alejandro, don't you have a freaking girlfriend by the name Linda?!

"She does not matter. I want you, and besides, she is not here so it is not like she will find out," Alejandro said, kissing her neck. His hands travelled down her body and you can be sure that I recorded all that.

The girl uttered out a sound and I was on the verge of breaking down. He did this to me years ago. I still feel the touch of his skin lingering on my skin.

How dare he do this to me -- I mean, to Linda -- and why did fate being me here to watch this?

There's only one good thing about fate bringing me here. Not to face my past, okay, well yes it is, but to better someone's future. Linda deserved better and I may have not known her a long time, but I don't want her getting hurt.

I saw how she looked at Alejandro, how she gushed about him whenever she was with me, and even though it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest, I would see how much she loved him. Almost as much as I loved him.

"Doesn't matter, huh?" I spoke up and Alejandro's arms left the girl immediately, snapping at my voice. They both turned to me; the girl looked like a deer caught in the headlights and Alejandro looked terrified that I was there and that there was a phone in my hand, with the camera pointed at them.

"Let's just see what she thinks about that, shall we?" I quickly hit the stop button and hit tapped send to the last person I texted today, Linda, and then to Lily to show her what a bastard Alejandro was.

"Sent," I smiled evilly at Alejandro. "I can't wait for her response," A few seconds later, my phone vibrated. After glancing at it, I showed it to Alejandro and his face fell.

It was a message.

From Linda.

Ooh, suspense...
