"Do you like it?" Cole asks as we near a child's playground. "It's a park? For kids..?" I look at him, my brows furrowed. This is seriously where he wanted to take me? To a playground that looks abandoned, beat up, and dirty? "Yep. Nobody comes around here and it always so calm, just look around you and take in the scenery." He says with a smile. I like the way his nose ring wiggles when he smiles, it causes me to smile too. I shift to a neautral expression and turn towards the playground, "I don't know about this.." I squeak. "Oh well," I feel his arms wrap below me and swipe me off my feet, "Ah, what are you doing?" I lightly punch his chest, we both laugh as he walks over to the playground, still holding me. Cole puts me down on the slide and I cross my arms, "Aw, princess. What's wrong." He mockingly pouts. I grab a few woodchips and throw them at him, he dodges them and I roll my eyes.

 "C'mon lighten up." He puts a warm hand on my shoulder and I turn my head away from him.  Cole's touch soon leaves and I observe him climbing up the playground. He sits behind me and pushes himself down the slide. I laugh, he laughs, we laugh together. It's perfect. He's behind me on the slide, just sitting there when I don't move. He wraps his arms around my waist and I let out a soft moan when his fingers caress my neck. "You promised we'd just be friends.." I moan out. He plants a kiss on my neck and says, "I never keep my promises.." His fingers trail down me and are soon in my panties I moan again.

 He whispers in my ear, "You've never done this before, have you." I don't respond, I just want him to do whatever he has to. But as he pushes further down, my phone rings, and we both snap away. I pull away from him, "I..." I run off a bit and grab my phone. "Shit.." It's Liam, damn it, of course it's Liam. I answer the phone, Cole rushes behind me as I put the phone to my ear, turning around to face cole, "Hey, babe." I look into Cole's eyes and his lustful expression shifts to one of... dispair? "Hey, where are you? I'm at your house and your mother and I don't know where you are. You were supposed to be back by now." I furrow my brows, "Okay, I don't need you telling me when I'm supposed to be back-"

"Liana," He interupts. I sigh. 

"No, let me speak," I see Cole cross him arms and anger fills his eyes, "And, I can  be wherever the fuck I want to be, when  I want to be! Now, bye!" I pull the phone away and hang up, letting a groan slip from my lips. "What happened?" Cole asks. His brows are furrowed, arms are crossed, and he looks like he has the intent of killing someone.. "Nothing.." I sigh, "Just.. Ugh, Liam is pissing me off..." His anger seems to fade as he walks up and hugs me. "That's your boyfriend?" He asks, shyly. "Yes.." I answer. He pulls out of the hug and anger fills his face again, "Damnit, Liana!" Why is he so angry? 

"What?" I ask, walking up to him but he pushes me away, "We were having a..... a moment.. and you pick up the phone for your boyfriend ?" He scoffs, "Yes, didn't you hear yourself?" I snap back, "He is my boyfriend, you're not... you're just someone who fucks with my emotions, knowing he doesn't date, just to feel better about himself!" I step back from him, "What did you just say?" He whispers. I step back again. This time, I start sprinting away, "Liliana!" He calls for me, but I don't answer. I start running towards Kelly's house. 

•••

"He just freaked out on me.." I say into Kelly's shoulder as she pats my head, "I knew you should've steered away from him.. He's going to do nothing but hurt you, babe. Be wise about this... you have to choose, Liam or Cole." She sighs and I sob, I do have to decide... but.. not now, not today... never? A booming knock sounds from the door, whoever was knocking seemed to want to knock the door down. The pounding didn't stop until Kelly swung the door open, "Liana!" Liam stood in the doorway and pushed past Kelly, "Excuse me," She protested, "You can't just walk into my house like that." Liam ignored her and gripped onto my wrist, "C'mon, we're leaving this.... hell hole... these goths aren't the kind of people you should be hanging around with." He pulls me away and I mouth, "I'm sorry" to Kelly. She shrugs and closes the door as Liam lets go of me and we stand outside, "C'mon, we're going home.." He says calmly. I nod and look up to see Cole stomping up to us. "What the hell was that?" He demands. Oh no, "Cole, shut up." I hiss through my teeth and stand infront of Liam. 

Cole looks down on me and I raise an eyebrow, "Why the fuck did you just leave like that?" He booms. "Wait, what's going on.. Liana?" Liam walks beside me and places a hand on my shoulder. I hope that Cole keeps his mouth shut. I don't need this right now. "Oh, I'll tell you what's going on," Cole glares at Liam and my breathing gets heavy. Liam removes his hand from my shoulder and holds mine, lacing our fingers together, "Cole, don't.." I push him away with the hand that wasn't locked onto Liam's, "You're girlfriend has been fucking around with me." He states, "We almost fucked, yeah, we almost did. If it wasn't for your stupid phone call, it probably would've happened." Liam's hand slips from mine as he steps away from me. I glare at Cole, "How dare you.." I whisper.

"C'mon, he was gonna find out anyway. Oh, you were planning on keeping this a secret, weren't you? Princes-" Before he finishes the horrible word, I smack him across the face. It's what he deserves. How dare he tell Liam, what an asshole. "Liliana.." Liam squeaks. I turn to face him, "Is.. is it true?"

"Liam, I can explain, I promise. Just let me han-"

"No way... no god damn way, Liana!" He sighs, running a hand through his hair. My eyes fill with tears as I sob, "Liana.." Cole grips onto my wrist, "No!" I yell at him, "Go! Leave me alone!" I escape his hold and stomp away as rain starts dripping down. Great, the one thing that could make this worse, rain. Deja vu of the party strikes like a bullet through me, causing my tears to pour down more than before. I don't look back, I imagine Cole and Liam ripping eachother a part.. but I know that's not what is happening...

•••

I sit on the slide of the playground Cole took me to before. I close my eyes and see Cole behind me, wrapping his arms around me. Cole's body shifts into Liam's as he whispers into my ear, "Why'd you lie to me.." 

I gasp, my eyes darting open. The terrible vision disappears. I scoot up the slide and under the hood so the rain doesn't pour down on me. My heavy breathing calms and so do I. The tension I feel dissolves but the pain... the pain still haunts me. The truth is out and I have nobody to blame but myself... I still can be angry at Cole for what he did.. but I feel nothing but bad for what I did to Liam. And I have no doubt he's going to go off and cry to my mother about what I have done to him. I can't go back home, I'm sure Kelly will let me stay with her.. I hope.

I'll be 18 in a week, though. And school ends in 3. I'll be in college soon, I was already accepted into CSU.. California State University, When I go, I'll get a dorm.. or maybe I'll stay with Kelly.

Ugh, this is all so much for me..

My eyelids grow heavy and I let them close. My visions are gone now, and my head's lost control. My mind melts. And I drift off to sleep. Here on the slide, of a kid's playground, on a rainy night, in the middle... of a terrible... situation...

(I hope you liked this chapter! It's probably my favorite so far. I tried to make this one extra long to make up for the short chapter last time. Comment your predictions for chapter 8, I want to see what you think of the whole situation too. Are you on team Ciana or team Liamana? Or, do you have another OTP? Tell me everything you want, I want to hear from you guys! Bye, ya'll!)
