"So Rain." Nevada spoke out of the silence and everyone looked at me "How's the modeling buisness? I mean I've seen you in magazines and everything..pretty big deal if you ask me."
"Oh.." I trailed off, scratching the back of my neck "It's alright I guess...Nothing special." "Really?" Eve asked "I expected it to be fun."
"Alright, let's cut to it" Zeke cut in "I don't want any funny business, Thompson. We're moving you to James's room."
My head snapped up to him as well as James's. "What?! Why?!" I asked quickly, not wanting to be by James because the tension was present. "Because I have my reasons, now don't argue it."
I glanced up at James and his eyes were cold, jaw clenched, and he stared down at the table. Looking over at the door, I saw a fimiliar face.
My eyes widened and my heart lifted in my chest. I was never happier before, and I quickly said "I have to go to the bathroom."
"No. Not without supervision you're not, and all the girls are soft and will let you go." Archer stated. "Ah-hem" A voice cleared and we looked to see Troian.
"Troian go with her" Benson ordered, and I screamed internally. Troian and I both got out of our seats. I started to walk towards the bathroom as Troian followed right behind me.
"How's Anderson in bed?" She asked unexpectedly, and I took everything I had to not turn around and slap the bitch. Clenching my jaw, I continued walking and ignored her. "I mean with his skills..God damn, it must be like having sex with-"
"Troian, stop!" I interuppted, turning around to face her "Just because I can get a boyfriend and you can't doesn't make it okay for you to make comments about mine."
Her lips turned up into a smirk as she rested her hands on her hips "Ex Boyfriend, Ex. He isn't your boyfriend anymore, honey. He's probably fucking some girl he met at a bar and having the time of his life."
I tensed up at the thought and a shiver went up my spine. Jealousy started to get to me and I reminded myself it probably wasn't true anyways and just one if Troian's remarks.
"Just like you did with James." She said, getting in my personal space. "I did not sleep with James." I gritted, glaring at her.
"Oh but you almost did. And he's not yours" She gritted. "He kissed me, so go talk to him yourself instead of taking it out on me." I gritted at her again.
She stared at me with a glare and I turned around walking into one if the stalls of the bathroom. Going to the one on the end, I locked it and stepped up onto the toilet seat. I pulled down the vent cover, and pulled myself up.
"God, I hate this." I muttered under my breath, and crawled through on my elbows. I sneezed a couple of times because of dust, and made turns to try and get out to the backroom where the fancy dinners were.
I peeked through an ending and saw I was in the right place. I pushed the cover down and swung my legs out then jumping down into the kitchen. Quickly grabbing a waitress apron that I splashed flour on, and taking someone's baseball cap and throwing it on. I put some flour on my face then walking out to the room.
I went up to a table and behind the girl. I tapped her shoulder "Would you like a refill?" I asked, getting her attention.
"Oh, No-" She started, turning around to face me. "Rain?!" She asked shocked, and I nodded with a small smile "Hey, Shaliene."
She quickly stood up and dragged me away from all the adults she was with "Oh my Gosh! You haven't been answering my calls, texts, and you haven't been at school! I thought you actually died or ran off with Ryker or something!" She rambled while hugging me tightly.
I pulled back from the hug "What are you doing down here?" I asked, and she sighed "Visiting some relatives. NOW COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?!"
"Ok, ok, but Shae you have to promise not to say anything." I narrowed my eyes at her and she nodded "I promise."
"I was kidnapped by a gang in Italy" I bit my lip and her eyes went wide. "YOU WHAT-" She began but I quickly put a hand over her mouth.
"Shae! Hush, they're here right now." I said, pulling her hand away from her mouth and looking around. "I'm calling the police-" She started, pulling out her phone.
"No." I said, taking her phone away from her "They kidnapped me to get back at Ryker because he did a faulty drug deal. If you call the police he'll get busted."
"Your boyfriend's a drug dealer?!" She whispered yelled. "Ex boyfriend.." I trailed off, biting my lip and my heart falling at the words. She blinked slowly at me "Wait..what?"
"I broke up with Ryker..it's a long story" I said, and I heard a voice yell my name. My eyes widened, and I said to Shae "I need you to call Ryker" as I wrote his phone number down on a piece of paper "And tell him 'OBX, 483'."
The voice got closer and I quickly pulled off the waiter apron and hat. Troian then came and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me away "Oh just wait till Archer knows that you pulled this."
~~~~~~
Brushing my teeth I spit leftover toothpaste into the sink then running the faucet for a few seconds. I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.
Walking out of the bathroom and into the bedroom I grabbed extra pillows and put them in the middle of the full sized bed. James walked out shirtless and only in sweatpants "Seriously? A pillow wall?"
A memory of Ryker and I at the drive in movie hit me from when I built a pillow wall and he teased me about it. "I don't trust you" I muttered under my breath then sitting on the edge of the bed and throwing my hair up into a quick ponytail with a few lose strands. James laid down and turned off the lights as I laid down on my side.
A few minutes went by of complete silence and still movement. I wasn't going to fall asleep anytime soon with this chain around my ankle that was tighter then normal.
A pair of arms wrapped around me and grabbed me by the waist. I flinched and James rolled me over so I was ontop of him. I went to smack him but he grabbed both my wrist in his hands. "Let me go" I gritted, getting angry.
