Lil's POV
We pulled into the driveway and got out of the car to grab the pizza and booze from the trunk.
Drake came running outside. “Get back in the car and drive.” He jumped into the back row of the car. “Also, bring me with you.”
“What is wrong?” Matt asked, confused.
“Son of a B***!”
“Oh no, that sounded like Chelsea.” I hoped I was wrong.
“I’m going to kill him!”
“That is definitely Chelsea,” Matt said, confirming me.
“Get back in the car. That chick is crazy and actually scaring me,” Drake said, freaking out.
“She is one female. I think we can handle her since we deal with a lot worse at work,” I told both the boys. “Come on, let’s go inside with the food and booze.” The boys grabbed the pizza and the booze while I walked inside to see what was going on. Though I was also worried due to knowing from Amber that her sister can be extreme when she gets mad. Once inside, I went straight to the kitchen and grabbed two plates.
“What are you doing?” Matt whispered.
“Giving her something to eat so she can’t scream or yell. Unless you want to hear her going on like that for another hour?"
“I swear. I am going to kill him and burn his corpse!”
“Her and Amber's pizza is on top,” Matt said fast. Reaching for 4 slices of pizza and put two on each plate. I started heading into the living room.
“I made you both a plate.” I told them both.
“Thank you, Lil.” Amber said, taking the plates.
“I don’t want food right now. I am very upset. I want revenge!” Chelsea said with a fire blazing in her eyes.
“Want to talk about it?” I asked, just trying to be nice.
“NO, I DON’T WANT TO TALK.SO UNLESS YOU HAVE A WEAPON FOR ME, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!”
Raising an eyebrow, I looked at Amber for information. “Her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend and also just broke up with her over the phone,” Amber said, very bored and unamused.
“Oh, sorry to hear that, Chelsea. No one deserves that. Do you need anything?” I said, truly sorry for what was happening to her. I dealt with something similar a year ago. My boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me and I found out he had cheated on me many times with more than one woman. It broke me when I found out he had been sleeping with so many women during our relationship and I only found out when he dumped me.
“What do you care? You don’t know how I feel or what I am thinking”, Chelsea said while getting in my face. I grabbed her and pulled her into a huge hug.
“I know how you feel, I know what you are going through. I have been in your shoes. I'm so sorry for what you are going through.” I whispered into her ear while hugging her. The silence was defining. You could hear a pin drop. After a few minutes, Chelsea hugged me back and started crying.
“How…. Why would he do this to me? What did I do to deserve this?” Chelsea asked me, crying her eyes out.
I stopped hugging her, so I could tell her the truth to her face.“ You didn’t do anything. He chose not to care. He is the one in the wrong! You did nothing wrong.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Do you live with him?”
“No, I have my own place. Though I do have a few things at his place.”
“Do you need me or your sister to go with you to get your things from his place?” I asked, looking at Amber for back up.
“I don’t know to be honest.”
“I understand that feeling. How about for now, you and your sister eat pizza and watch some funny movies in her room.” Chelsea turned to look at her sister, asking silently if that was okay.
“Here, sis, you take the pizza upstairs, and I will grab us something to drink.” With that they both walked off. I turned around, giving a tight-lipped smile. At that moment, I took notice of Drake and Matt having big eyes and their jaws on the floor.
“What?”
“You were really nice to her even though she is always mean and rude to you and us,” Matt said in shock.
I walked over to them, moving them to the side to get into the kitchen to get my own plate put together.“ I have been where she is and, even though she is not the kindest person, no one should go through what she is going through.” I grabbed a plate and went through the boxes looking for pepperoni pizza I knew the guys ordered. “Also, you know the saying ‘Kill them with kindness’ well that is what I am doing. Maybe one day she will apologize to us and change her ways….who knows?”
“Well…how about we go watch some movies in the living room?” Drake asked. Looking at Matt and me for our answers.
“Sure”
“Sounds good. Though I am picking the first movie,” I told them.
We all grabbed our pizza, and the boys grabbed a beer while I grabbed a glass of my whiskey. Once in the living room, I sat on the love seat while the guys sat on the couch. I started flipping through Netflix looking for a movie to watch. I spotted a movie that was good and had been awhile since I had watched it, but knew it would be perfect. So, I hit play on the movie 'Autopsy of Jane Doe' and knew that this scary movie would become comical, since the guys hate scary movies. I grinned while taking a sip of my drink and got ready for the fun to happen.
--20 mins into the movie—
“Did you pick a scary movie Lil?” Drake asked, looking freaked out.
“I don’t think so,” I answered, trying not to smile.
“You did! You're smirking”, Matt said in a shocked voice. Drake looked at me with wide eyes. “Why did you pick a scary movie?”
I paused the movie to answer, “Because it is funny seeing you two get scared over the littlest things,” I said seriously, trying not to laugh and failing. "But I also love scary movies..... Look, let’s make a deal. We watch this movie to the very end, then you two can pick a movie to watch after. Deal?”
Both the boys looked at each other, then said at the same time, “Deal!”
We continued to watch the movie and the boys screamed and covered their eyes about 3–5 times.
“I am glad that movie is over,” Drake stated.
“I didn’t like some parts, but I did find it interesting,” Matt told us both.
“Okay, so one of you didn’t like it and one of you somewhat liked it. Here’s the remote.... one of you pick the next movie,” I said while standing up and tossing the remote toward the guys. "I’m heading to the kitchen to take care of my trash. Do you guys have trash or want more slices?” Both the boys handed me their plates to throw away. I headed to the kitchen to take care of the trash and to take care of the pizzas while they picked a movie to watch. After throwing away the trash and putting the remaining pizza in the fridge, my phone went off.

Well, this is odd. I guess that if it's in a new neighborhood, it wouldn’t be on Google Maps. I set my phone down, trying not to think about it being odd.
“Alright, next movie.” Drake stated, already hitting play.
“Lil wake up”, I heard and felt someone shake me. “Lil wake up.” At that, I finally opened my eyes.
“What?” I mumbled.
“You need to wake up and go to your bed to go to sleep. Unless you want to sleep on the couch,” Matt told me.
I sat up and rubbed my eyes, then noticed that the lights were off, and Drake was nowhere to be seen. “Guess I fell asleep. Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“Drake said to let you sleep after the crazy work week you just had. So, we let you sleep.”
“Oh well, I don’t want to sleep down here so...” I said, starting to get up to head upstairs to my room to sleep. We both headed upstairs to go to our rooms.
“Good night, Lil” Matt said, heading for his room.
“Good night, Matt” I replied, walking into my room and closing the door.
I quickly changed into my PJs, brushed my teeth, set an alarm for the morning and crawled into bed, letting sleep come to me fast.
