Chapter 9 : Revelations Part 1

Angelina's POV

The first thing I notice when I wake up is that the room is not familiar. Then I remember we had crashed in the triplets' place as we had decided. I thought they would give all of us girls a room to sleep in but they said there are a lot of rooms and gave each one of us a separate room. Perks of having rich parents...

The headache is bearable as I was not shitfaced drunk but I do need Advil. That's when I notice some on the bedside table. Whoever that was is a lifesaver...

And just like that all the memories from last night come one by one. Talking to different people, beer pong, seeing Tyson, dragging Jacob to the dance floor and the almost kiss... I really had a lot of fun I think with a smile.

The smile is soon turned upside down when Jacob's words come back to me...

"Why would I date her? She is just another girl I danced a bit with. In fact she is more hot headed than them. Not my type."

I was just another girl to him like the ones that fall at his feet. In fact for him I am way worse.

And I thought we...

No not going there and absolutely no need of dwelling on it.

I should have known not to open my heart to him. Even if I was drunk I was not that drunk, just enough to forget thinking about repercussions. Thank God Asher interrupted us...

I have to stop it! He is not worth beating myself on. And I love Drew. I mentally scold myself.

Then I decide to go downstairs to push away these thoughts. So I take Advil, freshen up my face and go downstairs running my hands through my hair to set it a bit. Chris and Justin are already sitting in the living room when I reach there.

"Good Morning guys!" I smile.

"You are really chirpy for someone who drank last night." Justin says raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't drink that much and the Advil really helped. Whoever put it there is a lifesaver."

"It was me." He says. "I wake up early and I thought you guys will really need it so why not just keep it on the bedside." He shrugs.

"I am sure they would appreciate that because they are going to have a killer headache." Chris says shaking his head.

"I will get something for you to eat." Justin tells me walking towards the kitchen.

"Thanks!" Then I remember...

"By the way where were you last night? You just vanished in middle of the party and didn't even answer my text." I ask Chris. His cheeks redden a bit. Interesting...

"Oh yeah, what happened with Tyson?" He says changing the subject.

"Asher threw him out and I know you are trying to change the subject."

"I...uh.." He stutters.

"By the way you are blushing and stuttering, I am sure you were with someone so now spill." I say wiggling my eyebrows. And his cheeks redden even more. Jackpot!

He still doesn't say anything so I give him an impatient look.

He finally sighs. "Before that I need to tell you something." He says looking anywhere but me.

"You know you can tell me anything right?" I ask giving his hand a reassuring squeeze.

He takes a deep breath and blurts. "I am bisexual." Ohhh

I must have taken a lot of time because he starts having a word vomit.

"I can understand if you hate me. But I can't control it. Please don't tell others..."

"Hey calm down! I would never hate you and not especially for being who you are. It's just that something clicked in place." He sighs in relief at the first part and gives me a confused look for the second.

"What does my being bi clear up something?"

"Why I could not find Dylan yesterday. It is him isn't it?" I give him a cheeky grin and he blushes like crazy.

"Yes, but how did you know so confidently?"

"I didn't, it was just a guess but now I know. So did you guys do it? And how did you know you liked him." He blushes even more if it's possible. "Come on I need some details, aren't we best friends?" I say jutting out my bottom lip when he doesn't say anything.

"Wow I didn't know what reaction I was expecting but it was definitely not this." He says.

"Why?" I say giving him a confused look.

"I just thought since the two of us once dated and all you would be hurt and wouldn't talk to me for some time." He says tentatively.

"Of course not you idiot! You did say you are bi and even if you said you were gay I would have been fine with that. We dated in sophomore year and now we are seniors. You didn't know that then did you?" I say giving him an offended look.

"No I didn't." He says giving me a small smile.

"And yeah I won't tell anybody. You can tell them when you are ready but just know no one will stop loving you because of being who you are. If they do it's their problem." I say returning his smile and it looks as if a huge load has been lifted from his shoulders.

"Now that we have gone over that, I need details!" I exclaim.

"Fine, you are so impatient." He says rolling his eyes though he is still smiling. And just like that the Chris I know is back!

"Well I think it started this year when I noticed how he became more toned. Though I brushed it off thinking I just noticed it because we are team mates. Then one day we were the only ones in the locker room who were changing and he took off his shirt. I couldn't stop myself from staring and he caught me." He blushes a bit at the memory. "He teased me a bit but I brushed it off again as I was sure that I was straight since I liked girls. He then started teasing me every day during practice by flexing his arms and other things like that. He even started talking to me more and flirted a bit." Wow...

"Then yesterday after drinking a bit I could not help but stare at him from time to time. He motioned me to come with him and that led us upstairs. We talked a bit and then he suddenly kissed me. One thing led to another and we did it. After that I realized I was bisexual. So I told him that and we decided to stay on low till I come out of the closet." By the end he is blushing like crazy. That's quite a story...

"I am really happy for you. Though tell Dyl that if he hurts you he will regret the day he was born." I say seriously. And I definitely will make him regret.

"I will but don't you dare scare him away." He says narrowing his eyes.

"Aww come on, by the story you told me just now I don't think you will be able to get him to leave you anytime soon." I say. He blushes a bit but recovers.

"Now it's your time to spill." I just stare at him.

"As you said we are best friends so I know you are sad so tell me who I have to beat."

I fill him on everything that happened yesterday. I expected him to be really angry but he just has this pensive look. He then shakes his head as if clearing some thoughts.

"I want to be angry but he did help you." He finally says. "Though he is a real douchebag for saying those things and as for rest of things..."

"They don't matter. I only agree with him on that point." I interrupt. "We both were drunk and were just being hormonal teenagers." We both know I am lying but he doesn't say anything.

"Why would I date her? She is just another girl I danced a bit with. In fact she is more hot headed than them. Not my type."

I shut my eyes to block out the words.

"And anyways I am just another girl to him. Nothing that happened meant anything to him. Besides I love Drew so it was a mistake." This is something I am sure about.

"Anne we have had this discussion..." Chris begins.

"Breakfasts' ready!" Justin hollers from the kitchen. Chris gives me a look that says this discussion isn't over yet. Well I am really grateful for the interruption as I am in no mood for another lecture.

We make our way to kitchen. Some of our friends are already seated there and others are making their way down the stairs.

"Good morning sleepy heads." I chirp. Chris goes and sits next to Asher while I sit in between Katie and Rosie.

"Don't yell." Drake groans. Katie nods then winces.

"But I didn't yell." I say confused then it clicks.

"Anne I love you but shut up." Katie says and buries her head in her hands.

"They drank a lot, so whisper till the Advil works." Rosie whispers, I nod as if to say got it.

I notice that Noah keeps shielding his eyes. "Did he too?" I whisper to Rosie jerking my head towards Noah. She nods.

Justin gently puts our plates in front of us. I smile in appreciation and he smiles back. By the time we are about to finish eating Noah, Drake and Katie come a little out of their miserable state.

"Sooooo, you and Jacob?" Noah asks suggestively.

Drake who was drinking water spits it out and it hits Ash on the face. Justin starts choking on his food and Rosie gives him water to drink and helps him. Katie gives me a bewildered look. Only Chris is calm as he knows everything.

"There is nothing between us." I grit out giving him a look to shut him up. And it's true, he made sure of that.

"Well you too looked awfully close while dancing."

"They were dancing so that Tyson doesn't find her." Ash says irritated wiping his face. He did not just...

"They seemed like a couple." He shrugs. And the glare Ash sends him is deadly.

"Hold on your horses Noah, and who is Tyson now?" Justin asks. Ash now looks uncomfortable realizing what he did. He gives me an apologetic look and I return a reassuring look. They need to know anyways...

"Stop your twin talk and answer the question already." Drake says dryly. We both send him a glare. Then explain them everything about Tyson.

Justin has his fist clenched and supports a pensive look and Noah's face is serious for once.

"I will beat the sh*t out of him." Drake says shaking with anger.

"Even if I would love to join you, Tyson is someone who needs to be dealt with brain not force. You will beat him today, tomorrow he will send his boys for you; this will keep on continuing and would only make matters worse." Chris reasons.

"That's the only thing stopping me or else don't you think I would have already beaten him for even coming near my lil sis or when this happened." Asher says. His body is tense and I know he is really upset because he thinks he should have never let me go on that date and should have protected me.

I get up and hug him tightly. "You know it's not your fault right?"

"But I should have enquired better and never should have let you go with him and..."

"Shh you know I am stubborn and would have not listened to you. And no need to dwell on what ifs." I say pulling away.

"At least you accept that you are stubborn." He says flicking my nose.

"Hey!" I punch him on the shoulder. He pulls me in a headlock and just like that we start fighting while teasing each other.

"Slowpoke"

"Whiny"

"Okay! Okay! Break it up kids!" We see Rosie approaching us and stop. She is kind of mom of the group.

She gives us a reprimanding look but says nothing and we share a triumphant look behind her back and go back to our seats. The triplets give us amusing looks but Katie and Chris don't say anything as they are used to it.

"So there is no need to hate Jacob now right?" Justin says clearing his throat. I tense and share a look with Chris as, if I am going to tell the story his may come out.

"Actually there is more to yesterday than you guys think." He starts then takes a deep breath. "And we would both like to confess something."

God! I am really scared for their reactions.
