Thank you for reading Tate & Liam's story. I'm concerned for Liam. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid. If you are enjoying this story please leave a gem to help support me as an author to continue to write for you on Goodnovel. Thank you so much xoxo
LiamI can see Tate has been trying to get hold of me, I ignore the messages. Yeah, I know it’s a crap way to be toward your bestie only I know her like I know myself. She’s only going to lecture me and I’m not interested in being lectured by Tate, my parents or no-one. I’m practically an adult, though sometimes you’d think I was a kid the way they like to treat me.Denver is walking out his door. We decided to use my truck then swap it to a car I’ve hired downtown. There’s no way, if I find this guy and give him what he deserves, I want anything being traced back to me.“Ready.” He says as his huge frame walks towards me. I’m leaning against the outside of my truck on the driver’s door. My legs are crossed in front of me as I smoke a cigarette. “Haven’t you given that shit up yet, man? What is wrong with you? Those things are gonna kill you one day.” He isn’t impressed.I merely shrug my shoulders. I know they’re bad for me, shit everyone knows how bad they are for your health and as
Tate Tammy looks pale, who wouldn’t after having so much alcohol in her system not to mention the drugs? Jesus, it’s bad. So bad. Yet her mood isn’t as down and low as both Lilly and I thought it would be. “I just feel shit guys.” She’s saying as she sits on her double bed with fluffy white pillows propping her up. Her legs are bent and she has her right leg crossed over her left leg. Her toned and tanned legs peek out from her denim cut off shorts. Her blonde hair and she has a lot of it, is sitting on top of her head in a messy bun. “Don’t you feel anything? Like anger, like you want to beat the living crap out of that guy?” I ask her as I sit next to her on the bed, Lilly is at the foot of the bed facing us. She’s resting against the brass and iron bed end looking more mournful than Tammy who has just gone through hell and back. “Not really. It’s happened what can I say. My folks are flying in, they’ll be back first thing tomorrow morning.” I’m sensing that she doesn’t give a sh
LiamIt wasn’t too difficult to extract the information from Ted. He’s such a douchebag, as if I’d be seriously looking to score gear. That man honestly it’s a miracle he is even getting into college this year. It wouldn’t surprise me if his parents were paying to get him in, for sure his grades can’t be up to scratch. He misses more classes than he attends. I’m not convinced he is some kind of genius.“Sure, man. I’ve got a few numbers for you.”“I want one in particular. We saw a guy with Tammy they shared some pills. That’s the guy I want to speak with.”“Everything okay?” Ted runs his hands through his messed up hair. He’s standing in just his pajama bottoms and a bare chest. He could do with some muscle, he looks way too thin. I could easily knock him out for having creeps at his damn party but I stay cool. Really cool.“I didn’t specifically see any guy with Tammy.” He scratches his head now. I want to punch him in the face, only I’m thinking he is being a jerk and covering his
Liam I call the number Ted gave me. Denver is now looking skeptical about the whole thing. I kind of knew he might want to skip out, I don’t blame him. Going after someone isn’t just the sort of thing anyone will do. Only I’m here now and I’m not prepared to let that douchebag get away scot free from what he has done to Tammy. “There’s still time to walk away.” I turn and say to him. We’re parked up in an unused parking lot that has a wire fence perimeter. There’s a burnt out car to the left and an old caravan that has lost all its wheels. This isn’t the best neighborhood to be in. Certainly not where we all hang out. I know that the lies of Tate, Denver and myself, Tammy and Lilly are privileged. We have extremely rich parents and money is never an object. Although my dad always makes me realise that it doesn’t grow on trees. Yes, I have an allowance on a monthly basis that even I know would be an annual allowance for most kids and yes, my father pays for a lot of my shit. But trus
Tate I’m lying on my bed, it’s nearly eleven outside. It’s pitch black except for the moon which is half this evening. It’s still absolutely stunning. The only thing that is spoiling it for me, is that Liam still hasn’t contacted me. Denver hasn’t contacted Lilly and we’re both besides ourselves. The way my stomach is lurching and the nausea I’m feeling, it tells me something bad has gone down. All I can do is wait and wait until Liam does send me a message. I reach for my book on the bedside cabinet, I’m an avid reader but tonight I open it up and just stare at the pages. So unlike me, especially when it’s the a Colleen Hoover like this one is. Really, I’m not even able to focus on the words, they’re swimming in front of my eyes. Perhaps I ought to swap to an audio book, that might soothe me whilst I wait. “Hey honey, you asleep yet?” I hear my mother say from the other side of the door. My fairy lights are still on and my bedside lamp, she can see the light no doubt filtering bel
Tate Liam stays cuddled into me, his warmth radiates through my own body and it’s causing a warm sensation to spread throughout the bottom of my stomach and up into my chest. My heart rate has increased. This feel is amazing. I’m fighting hard, really hard to not turn to him and kiss him. A nice long, lingering kiss where I can feel his tongue inside my mouth. I want my best friend so bad that it’s driving me practically insane with longing. I know I shouldn’t feel like this but it’s just so damn hard. He’s everything I want in a boyfriend. To start with he is my best friend and they say that your boyfriend, husband, lover should be your best friend. He’s gorgeous with his impressive height, his broad shoulders and that jet black hair that sometimes hangs in his face. His eyes are piercing and when he looks at me in a certain way, it makes me go to mush. I’ve got it so bad. So. Fucking. Bad. “You okay?” I ask quietly, my voice just a whisper. “Mm.” He responds not saying anything
Liam Damn it, what was I thinking cuddling into her like that.? I’ve not held Tate since shit knows when. I mean we were just kids when we used to cuddle and hunker up. I loved how we were when we were younger, becoming a teenager and growing into an adult can be really sucky sometimes. I easily make my way down the trellis minding not to get stabbed by the thorny roses. This trellis has been the bain of my life for so many years. If tonight hadn’t been so serious it would probably make me smile that I act like some damn cat burglar sneaking around in the middle of the night. It’s pitch black outside the sky displays an array of stars, Tate loves stars. We sometimes drive further into the mountain area and just sit on the hood of my jeep and take them in. I like them but not as much as she does, she’s kind of obsessed with them. My girl Tate, there is no-one quite like her in the world. My breathing is rapid, even though I know her folks are well and truly asleep and mine will be t
Tate I groan as I hear a knock on my bedroom door. I hardly slept at all last night. “Hey, honey are you awake?” Mom’s voice is on the other side of my door. I check my mobile it’s eight already. Shit. I said I’d meet Lilly at Doogle’s diner for nine before we head off shopping. I rub my sleepy eyes thinking I must have dropped off around three a.m after Liam left. Liam. About that. First I need to respond to my mom. “Hey, Mom. I’m awake but not up.” “No worries, darling. I’ve bought you a nice cup of herbal tea.” She opens the door and steps in. Wow, she is looking amazing for this time of morning. Her hair is blowed out and she’s wearing hot pink, straight trousers that skim her ankles and black kitten heels. Her pale pink blouse contrasts beautifully with her bottoms. “Wow, you look like a vision out of that movie, Legally Blonde.” She smiles. “Thanks, honey. Here you go. What time are you off out today?” She places my favourite Frozen mug on the bedside careful to move my book
