Friends Hang Out Without Me Novels & Stories

The thought scared me almost as much as it excited me. That morning I ate breakfast alone. The big table felt bigger without any of them in their usual seats. No Rhys at the head with his coffee. No Tristan making some lazy comment. No Cade radiating silence. No Theo moving quietly around the kitchen. I knew they didn’t officially live here, yet they were almost always somewhere in the house. Their absence felt deliberate. Restlessness pushed me upstairs after I finished eating. I wandered the second-floor hallway with no real plan, listening for any sign of life. Most of the doors were closed. One near the end stood slightly open, soft light spilling out.

I switched off my phone eventually when he won't stop calling. I sat down on the floor with just my bra and panties with papers scattered all over the floor. A glass of coffee beside me. Whenever I feel sleepy, I will take it. Just then a knock came. "Come in," I answered. The door opened and my friends walked in with my mom. My dad was on a business trip and he won't be coming back anytime soon. I missed him tho. Judith and Kathryn rushed to me and pulled me into a hug. "Hey." I smiled.

I shake the thoughts away. "Shit, look at the time" "Going somewhere?" I ask pouting, he only just got back. "Yeah, I'm hanging out with some of my guys today." "Can I come with?" I asked with a smile bouncing on my chair. "Mm why...?" "Because I haven't seen you in weeks and I miss you. What? A girl can't hang out with her little brother anymore?" "You're only a few months older than me" "Still counts" I smiled corking my head.

"She's not coming!" Hendrick answered quickly, watching my expression like he was trying to read every shift. "After what happened, I stopped hanging out with her. The guys did, too. Everyone else there's a guy. I swear. Not a single girl." If that was the case, I didn't see a problem. I agreed to go without thinking much of it. I wasn't close with his friends, and they didn't really talk to me either. They kept to themselves, drinking and joking around, and I was perfectly fine sitting off to the side in peace.

{ Sky } I knew something like this could happen tonight, so I'm not surprised. And I'm not embarrassed either, because everyone here has seen Farrow fighting with one or two of the guys before. A lot of times, actually. I mean, this reunion didn’t even need to happen officially, most of us still hang out regularly.

Minus Nicole and Ryan. I missed those two, but it's not like I can do anything to get to them. My phone isn't here. But I haven't seen them since the shooting. Two weeks ago. Knowing them, they are probably worried sick about me, making me a bad friend for not speaking to them. And school. I can't even imagine. I probably have so much work to do. And truancy is gonna bite me in the ass. "I was wondering where everyone was." Drake stands in the doorway.

My lifeline to my boy. My other friends seem to have vanished as quickly. As soon as I stumbled out of the ladies’ room, tear-stained and lightheaded to find them, I realized I’d been abandoned. We all came here to get drunk before our main event; a huge party in some exclusive bar across Manhattan, and my time in the bathroom was long enough to get ditched. Again.

“That sounds promising. Okay then, Rina. Just keep sending me the deets. I think I'll be gone early today with my friends.” Rina nods, “Yes, ma'am. No worries, we'll handle everything while you're gone.” After Rina left my office, my friends were quick to barged inside to remind me of what they offered earlier. “Clubbing?” Paige grins as Liv and Elle waits for my answer. I roll my eyes at them but ended up forming a small smile on my lips. Heaven knows that I couldn't say no to my girls. And that it's been a long time since we all hangout together.

By now, my panic was climbing, bitterness taking a large position in my chest. I stood still, skimming my eyes about as some of my peer groups came out from changing into their prom wear and walked to their cars with their mates. I didn't have any. No wolf. No mate. I was the person that anticipated this day more, but now, I was the one without any. And my best friend is nowhere to be found. Nor my family. "Hey, freak!" I jumped and turned about, my eyes nearly falling out of their sockets when they fell on my three friends, Crayon, Barley and Dolly.

August 30th: Prior to Sunny and Finn going to a nightclub together, Sunny had invited Finn and Layla to come hang out for a while. It would be the first time Sunny saw Layla since their argument, which made things a bit awkward. Two people in a room shared a love connection that they could no longer explore due to it not being accepted in their social circle or really anywhere. Despite the tension, Sunny hoped that spending time together would help mend their friendship and ease the awkwardness between them.
