My Fake Lover

I wrapped my hands around my body to try to avoid some of the cold wind. It’s freaking freezing out here and it’s bound to snow at any given second.

After walking for about thirty minutes, I finally stood in front of her house. And one thing stood out the most.

The cars that belong to her parents weren’t at the driveway since they both work, but one car was. And that car made me curious as hell to why it was sitting on Courtney’s driveway.

Jeremy’s car.

I stood there, for about a minute, staring at his silver Toyota, before I actually had some sense and walked to the front door.

Why the hell would his car be here? At Courtney’s house?

Last time I checked, they barely even talked to each other. And now his car is sitting on her driveway. The girl who is deeply in love with Tyler.

I picked up a hand to ring the doorbell, but dropped my hand right back down before I did.

If I really want to know why Jeremy is here, then I can’t just ring the doorbell. If Courtney really did lie to me, then she can lie again and again and again. Even about this.

….

So I walked to the back door to see if it’s open so I can just walk inside and sneak up on them.

It’s not like it’s so unusual for me to just walk in her house. I’ve been friends with her for years and I’ve done it for about a thousand times. So I’m just going to take the opportunity to sneak up on them.

I know it’s rude and evil of me, but what can I say? I’m a curious person.

When I made it to the back, I twisted the door knob finding out it was locked. “Damn it.” I punched the door.

Shit. Why did I just do that.

I tried to make a run for it but the door immediately opened revealing Courtney.

“Lexi?” She had a confused look on her face. Who can blame her? It’s not everyday you find a person in your back yard punching your back door.

“Hey Courtney.” I said, with a nervous laugh. “I taught you would be sleeping since its Sunday morning and I didn’t want to wake you up so I just taught maybe I could come in through the back.” I ranted quickly.

“Well, no, I’m not sleeping. And the front door is open.” She said.

Well, I feel stupid now.

“Why would you leave the front door open. Would if someone, like a bad guy or something, comes in and stuffs you in one if those big black sacks and kidnaps you.” I said in fake worry for a cover. That’s just what I feel like doing to her right now.

Just shove her in a big bag, bring her in the middle of nowhere, and demand her to tell me what’s going on. Maybe I should bring Emily for that.

“Well, my mom just left.” She said.

“Oh.” I said.

For a moment I just stood there in science. Is she going to make room for me to get in, or what?!

It’s freaking zero degrees out here!

That’s what I wanted to say but instead I said, “can I come in or are you just going to let me freeze into a big ice cube?”

Courtney’s face turn pale. “Uh-I. Uh, sure.” She hesitated but moved aside so I can come in.

“So, did Tyler really bring you home from that party? Because he tells me something else.” I said as I passed by her to get inside.

Courtney’s face got red. Really red.

“Did I say that?” Courtney played with the edges of her blonde hair.

“Yeah, you told me Tyler was with you the whole time.” I said with a flat look.

“I think I was just too drunk and my memory was a blur. Maybe it was a dream or something. You know I really like him and sometimes I dream of him. I wouldn’t lie to you Lexi.” She smiled at me softly but something was off about her expression. I couldn’t quite point it out though.

“Oh.” Was all I said.

When I was about to enter the living room, Courtney spoke up before I could take a step in

“Uh, I actually was just going to leave to the mall!”

I turned around to look at her.

Is she being serious right now?

“So do you mind? I don’t want to just leave you here.” She finished.

I stared at her in shock for a few seconds before I made my way back to the door.

“Okay then.” I said even though this was what I held in and what I really wanted to say- ‘what the hell?! I just got here and your going to kick me out like that?!’

Of course I really didn’t.

I went outside and she closed the door behind me.

When I was completely sure she was away from the door, I walked up to the window of were the living room is. I know her house to well…

Did she really think I was going to leave? Does she really think I’m that dumb? I know what Jeremy’s car looks like. She probably doesn’t know that.

I’ve dated him before of course I was going to know.

When I found the window I was looking for, luckily I found it open. Thank you to whoever left this window open even though it’s dumb of you. Like seriously, it isn’t summer time.

And I really feel bad of eavesdropping on her, but what other choice do I have? She kicked me out!

I looked in the window, sticking my head up, but making sure it wasn’t high enough for anyone to see it, and that’s when courtesy showed up in the living room. Walking beside where Jeremy was sitting at.

That little bitch.

My best friend, also know as the freaking liar. This is so not my day. First the headache, now this? Ugh !

I feel like chasing her with a chainsaw right now. Yeah, that’s how mad I can get. And I can’t believe her, my best friend, and I’m thinking about that .

She sat on the sofa across from where Jeremy was sitting. “That was close. She could have seen you and everything would go wrong.” She said with a serious face.

What the hell is going on?

“Well I really needed to talk to you. I need your help with getting L-” I heard Jeremy say but he was cut off.

“Why do you want my help?” Courtney asked in a rude way.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You know, you really are acting like a bitch lately.” Jeremy said.

“I think your just upset because of what happened. I never really wanted that. I just wanted to make someone jealous.” Courtney replied.

I never saw her this mean to anybody. She’s was the nicest person I knew, until now.

What happened to her? What is she even talking about?

“You know, I’m done. I’m done keeping this secret. And if their is absolutely no chance of getting Lexi back, then I’m going to tell her everything!” Jeremy got up, leaving Courtney in the room with a terrified look on her face as she tried to catch up to him but failed.

I heard the door open and slam close from the front door, knowing it must be Jeremy leaving.

I don’t even know what to think right now.
