My Fake Lover

Tyler smirked at me. And that meant this wasn’t going to be fun.

“Truth or dare?” Tyler asked, looking at me with amusement in his blue eyes.

If I pick dare, Tyler would ask me to do something stupid and if I pick truth, he would ask me a question that would embarrass me in front of all these people. Most of them I know from school.

So I just picked dare.

“Dare.” I said acting all confident.

Tyler waited a few seconds before telling me. “Drink six shots of vodka.” He answered.

Oh my god! He knows I’ve never drank. That’s the only reason he’s doing this! I could barely breath out of fear right now. I didn’t want to do the dare, but people would call me chicken. I had to be brave in front of Tyler too. He’s never let it go and constantly remind me of how much a coward I am. I can’t let him get to me. He’s probably doing this cause he thinks I’m going to back out on it.

“Well?” Tyler said, waiting for my respond.

“Okay.” I said, but my voice cracked when I did.

Tyler looked surprised. He probably didn’t expect me to say yes by the looks of it.

We both walked up to the table of drinks and the closer I got there, the more scared I was getting.

The table had plastic red cups just like we see in the movies. I lay out six of them and poured vodka in each one of them. This is probably the stupidest thing I’ll ever do in my entire life.

After I finished pouring the drink, I looked up at Tyler with a freaked out expression. My arms were shaking. Who knows what I’m going to do when I’m drunk? I could do something incredibly stupid.

Tyler looked at me but he wasn’t smiling. He wasn’t even smirking like he always does. He had a serious expression like he has when something bad is about to happen. Tyler’s never serious.

“You know what? Just forget it. You don’t have to do this.” Tyler said and tried taking the cups away from me.

“No, I’m not a baby.” I replied and drank my first cup in one shot and as soon as the drink hit my lips, I tasted the strong and discussing liquid. It’s nothing how I thought it would be.

I really liked how Tyler actually cared about me at that moment. He actually tried to stop me because I was scared. So sweet.

Whoa whoa whoa, are guy drunk already?!

“Slow down.” Tyler said after I already drank all of my fourth cup in one go.

I laughed and already felt dizzy. I almost fell backwards until Tyler caught me wth his strong beautiful arms.

“Awww. Your so sweet.” I laughed.

I drank the last two and I knew I would never drink again. I hated that drink and I hated how it made me feel.

And the worst part, I think I’m already drunk.

…………..

#Tyler’s POV:

.

I shook my head in disbelief. I’m such an idiot. How can I be so stupid?

I watched as Lexi danced like she never did before on top of a table. I’ve known her for so long and never saw her like this. Ever.

She danced while she was singing some kind of song I couldn’t quite make out because she was singing like a f*cking baby, slurring her words out.

I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s the spongebob theme song. The show I used to watch all the time when was seven.

I took the opportunity to pull out my phone and record this. She won’t remember this tomorrow and she’ll be furious when she looks at this.

She’s drunk. Too drunk. And it’s all my fault. Her mom is going to kill me if she finds out Lexi drank alcohol. Lexi’s mom always thought of me as a good guy. But now, she’s going to bury me alive for daring Lexi to drink vodka. She’s never drank before, but I never thought she’d actually do it.

I turned off my phone and stuffed it in my pocket, smirking. I know how mad and embarrassed she’ll get when I show her that. And I liked when she was furious, it was cute on her.

“Lexi!” I yelled her name through the loud music. After the truth or dare game, the other shítty drunken teenagers decided to turn up the music again and start dancing.

I grabbed Lexi’s wrist and dragged her off the table.

Where the hell is Emily? I’m probably the only one not drunk right now.

“Let me go.” Lexi whined, dragging the ‘O’ sound. She stomped her feet and pulled her wrist out of my grip.

God damn it. This is all my fault. And it’s her fault for not listening to me. I tried to stop her from doing it, but she has to be so determined to do anything to look brave. Or to prove that she can do anything.

“We have to get you home.” I said, trying to grab her hand again but she took a step back.

As much as I want to, I can’t just leave her here drunk. She’s going to be too drunk to know that she can’t drive home. And this is all my freaking fault.

How can I be so stupid?

“I could go home by myself.” She crossed her arms over her chest like she was a little child.

“No, you can’t. Your drunk.” I said slowly but coldly.

Lexi laughed for the hundredth time tonight. “No I’m not.” She let out another giggle, putting her hands in the air like she was trying to reach for something.

I rolled my eyes and pulled Lexi closer to me and picked her up bridal style.

“Put me down.” She cried out, kicking her feet, but she’s only hurting the air.

“I’m being kidnapped!” She yelled but no one could here her through the loud music. I laughed at her drunken stare but groaned when her feet kicked me so hard, it actually hurt. This girl may not look like it, but she’s actually strong.

I signed in frustration and squeezed my self through all the people dancing, all drunk.

Once I got outside and next to my car, I put Lexi down so I can pull out my car keys from my pocket.

I feel like I’m caring for a big baby with her whiny voice not coming to end with her stupid complaints.

I know she always call me ‘annoying jerk’, but now she is really acting like it.

I unlocked my car and turned to see that Lexi wasn’t where l left her. She was just right next to me! God!

“Shít.” I mumbled under my breath. Where the hell did she go so fast?

I put a hand through my hair that’s fallen on my forehead then leaned on my car with my arms crossed over my chest. Screw it.

This girl is going to freaking kill me of stress. If she gets into an accident I’m going to be blamed for it.

I stayed there for a while, darkness surrounding me. “Boo!” A voice yelled from behind me. I turned around to see that Lexi was hiding behind my car. “I scared you! I scared you!” She sang running up to me even though she didn’t.

I couldn’t help but smile of amusement and relief. “No, you didn’t.”

“But I did.” She laughed.

I shook my head in discouragement.

“Don’t you remember?” She asked, looking straight into my eyes.

“Remember what?”

“When we were little, I always ran to the park ahead of you and hid behind the tree before you got there. Then, I popped my head out and said boo to scare you.” She said, looking at the many stars that surround the night sky.

I frowned at the memory. Memories of the past make me feel terrible.

When Lexi and I used to be friends, before my mother died. I didn’t end our friendship because of my mothers death, I needed her more than ever after that, but she wasn’t there. I ended our friendship because of what she said. Of what

Courtney told me she said. But Courtney still wanted to be friends with Lexi. But I was too upset with Lexi to even look at her the nice way.

“I want to be friends again.” Lexi said softly he voice a low whisper like she didn’t want anyone to hear her.

That took me off guard. Why would she want to be friends with me ? After all the things I did to her back then? After all the ways I used to bully her when we were younger?NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

But I know she’s just drunk. And she doesn’t even know what she’s saying right now. And tomorrow she’s going to come back with her hate comments. And how she wants to kill me with a chainsaw kind of stuff.

She probably won’t even remember anything.

“Why didn’t you want to be my friend anymore?” She asked and tried to walk up to me but almost tripped on the side walk in a drunk person kind of way.

“Let’s just get you home.” I said and walked her to the passenger side. I opened the door for her but she just stared at me not going in. Her eyes were filled with sadness.

After all that giggling, she was sad now?

“Why? Just tell me.” Lexi whined.

I signed in frustration. “God, Lexi. Just get in the damn car. I don’t have time for this. And you won’t even remember anything.”

She mumbled something under her breath but I couldn’t get what it was. She climbed in and I closed the door shut before walking around to the drivers seat.

This was a long night. I should’ve never went to that stupid party with Courtney in the first place.
