Reckless Soulmates

chapter 11

Luke

"What the hell is happening in there?!" I groaned, "Are they having Skype s*x?!"

"Why would you care?"

"Zeke do you know how long I've wanted a s*x tape from them?"

"Oh..."

"Exactly. Now shh, I hear Harper belting out something."

Zeke

When I said I'd back off Nick and Harper's relationship, I meant it. But getting in good with White would give me a plus in the situation.

All I really need to do is wait for Harper to screw up.

Nick

Each song had a beautiful ring to it, but sadly it made me just miss him even more.

texts: Leo and Luke - night time

Lo: Leo you called me like six times, you alright?

Li: i wanted to go on a date. yknow (no offense) get away from Nick's house for a bit.

Lo: no no, i get it. i'll go.

Li: what about Nick?

Lo: Leo if you cared enough you would've waited till he was ready to be alone.

Li: uhhhh yeah...

Lo: saturday. pick me up from Nick's at five and i'm bringing an overnight bag.

Li: overnight? why?

Lo: remember all the PDA prevention we did for Nick's sake? we have to make up for lost time.

Li: we're so on the same page.

Luke

"Hey Nick?" I decided to bring up my date now.

He looked up from his phone, his sweater long enough to reach past his legs.

"Wait are you wearing pants?"

He shook his head and I smirked. Only he would walk around in his boxers and Harper's sweaters. Then again...

"So, I'm going on a date today. Leo invited me to dinner and a night at his house."

He nodded and I sighed,

"You'll be okay, right?"

Nick nodded and I leaned in to hug him.

"He's coming to get me at five, anyone you wanna invite over?"

Maybe I'll call Zeke over?

"Sure, alright."

Harper

The flight to London lands and I can't control my happiness by now.

Nick is going to be beyond shocked when he sees me standing at the front door.

texts: Nick and Zeke - night

N: Luke is gone for the night with Leo, can you come by?

Z: sure, i'm going to bring some friends, that cool?

N: sure i guess.

Nick

Zeke said he was going to invite some friends over, but I wasn't expecting what was going on in front of my eyes.

My house had drunk people littered all around. Even outside there were drunk people dancing to the way too loud music. Pizza boxes and beer bottles were thrown everywhere. A couple vases had been broken and I predicted that if my aunt was around still, she's whoop my ass.

I knew I shouldn't have warmed up to him so quickly. Of course Zeke would use my house to host one of his huge frat parties or whatever.

Weaving my way through the crowd, I finally made it to the kitchen where Zeke was laughing drunkenly with his friends.

"Oh...hey Nick!" Zeke wrapped a burly arm around me and I tried to shove it off. I was in no mood for hugging him or talking to him in general.

Once he was of my shoulders I motioned to this huge party in fury, hoping my eyes were screaming WHAT THE BLOODY f**k IS THIS?

"Oh Nick!" He snickered, "Lighten up! Have a drink!"

I shook my head and pushed him away.

"Excuse me?"

I felt him grab my wrist and I pulled at it.

"No, you're coming with me. Nobody pushes me like that."

I remember that Zeke was once a bully and I almost cry, because he's coming back to being an asshole.

Harper

I drove up to Nick's house to see a huge party. People were outside dancing like the drunk idiots they are and red Solo cups were covering his lawn. I knew immediately that this wasn't Nick's doing. Leo told me that he and Luke were out for a personal night, so there was only one left.

Plus, Luke' parties are more sitting in a dark room with every device that connects to the Internet than this.

Jesus. After at least a month of leaving this happens?

I know I have to find Zeke, because he's the reason for this. I know from the type of party it seems to be.

I just hope to God that Nick was okay.
