I Only Love My Bed and My Mama.

_____________

"He just looked so mad," Kaylee says and I nod, shoving more ice-cream down my throat, "And-And his eyes, they burned. I honestly thought he was gonna hit you!" I choke on my ice-cream,

"Hit me?"

"Yeah! He looked so angry."

"Colin isn't the type of guy that would hit a girl," Grey adds and I nod,

"Yeah, he said he would never hurt me again. That means physically and/or mentally,"

"You look pretty hurt right now," Gracie says looking at me and I glare at her,

"I just broke up with him, its upsetting. I liked him a lot." Grey pats my back; Mark walks over and looks at me with pity, "and not to mention we just got together like three days ago!"

"You okay, Kierra?" he asks sitting down, I groan.

"How many people saw that horrorfest outside?" I ask and they all look at me contemplating whether or not they actually wanna tell me, Grey looks at the others,

"Everyone did..." I groan again; Kaylee and Gracie gives me a sad smile,

"Come on," Kaylee says barely audible, "Let's go get breakfast, after what happened no one would dare make you do a solo." I nod and wipe my last tears, I take in three deep breaths, brush off my legs and stand up straight.

I'm not going to give in, these boys cant treat me as some kind of trophy to be won.

Let's show 'em what I'm made of.

She walks in confidently. Her natural curled ends bouncing with every step she takes. Her friends walking behind her in that weird V shape thing the mean girls do in any movie. Kierra could never be a mean girl though.

It looks as if she should be walking in slow motion.

"Dude..." my friend Dayton says behind me, I slap his chest,

"Stop ogling." Dayton looks at me semi-hurt but wipes it off his face with a bite of his pancakes,

"Kiki, come here!" I remember the bet Colin and I made,

"What do you want, Cole?" She says harshly, I smirk at her.

"Kiki do you love me?" She rolls her eyes but her smile doesn't falter,

"Are you riding?" She scoffs, but doesn't say anything, "Say you'll never ever leave from beside me."

"I only love my bed and my mama I'm sorry." She sings completely straight faced, I laugh and look over at Colin who is glaring at us,

"Do you wanna take this elsewhere?" I ask with a curt glance over at Colin indicating what I'm trying to hint at. It works, but not quite how I want it to.

"Nope." She pops her 'p', I bet Colin couldn't tell me how when she is lying about her feelings she crinkles her eyebrows together and you can tell she is faking a laugh when her eyes are slightly more wide then normal. I sigh,

"Why not, Shortcake?"

"Because, asswipe." She starts and leans in closer to my ear, "You just wanna piss off Colin. And I'm not gonna let you play me like that."

I have goose bumps all up and down my legs and arms as her breath hits my face she smells like strawberries. I smile as she struts away like she does when she is slightly pissed off.

Colin loves her, but when asked about it she couldn't even say she loves Colin. Which means I have a chance. I smile.

I have a chance.

This whole 'Colin and Cole love triangle' thing pisses me off.

I don't even know if I should be mad at the boys or happy for Kierra. This has always been her fantasy.

I'm here, trying to mind my own business with Aiden, and I have to clean up her mess.

Although, I'm one to talk since Kierra has cleaned up my mess more times than I can count on my fingers and toes combined but this is double the trouble.

See what I did there? Cause Cole and Colin are twins?

Yeah whatever.

I heard about their stupid little bet about 'who can get Kierra to fall the fastest' and I don't think that's fair.

Kierra is a pawn in some bigger ego game then she could possibly understand.

I know. I've been caught up in the same ego game. But without twins and it wasn't some twisted love triangle.

It was Parker and his stupidly cute asshole ways. It's too long to even possibly get into but. Whatever.

"What was that?" I asked Kierra as she struts back looking pissed off after a conversation with Cole,

"They're both just freaking using me to get at each other!" I look over at Cole and Colin who are both looking at Kierra like I look at ice cream. "Ya know what?" She asks slamming her fist down on the table, she flinches slightly. "Shit." She groans and looks at her fingers,

"What happened?" Kaylee asks and I look at my best friend worriedly,

"My-my knuckles, I like broke them or something when I punched Cole the other day. They didn't really hurt until I did... well that." She looks pointedly at the table, then back at us. "I'm fine though," she makes a point to say, I know she isn't fine.

Last week she passed out on the last hike and then almost drowned, this week she has been bombarded by Colin and Cole and I don't think I have seen her drink water once since this week started...

"Anyways, I'm going on the hike." She says definitively, I just stare at her blankly,

"Really?"

"Yes." I sigh knowing there is no way to talk her out of this.

I know someone who can though...

_

I watch her whisper something in Coles ear and strut away smirking.

"Dude, what is wrong with you?" George says as Aiden sits next to me,

"I can stop thinking about her!" I spin around to look at my friends, the campers at our table making their own conversations,

"Thanks for leaving us to make sandwiches alone." Aiden complains but I ignore him,

"Meet me outside during stargazing, I'll have something to take your mind off her..." George says, I know exactly what he's talking about. I nod my head and hear a loud bang come from across the room, I quickly spin my head around and see Kierra holding her fist, I fight the urge to stand up and run to her.

You can't. She's mad at you. I sigh and look back at my friends, Aiden is staring at Kierras table and George his just sitting there looking at both of us as if we're idiots.

Maybe we are.

After breakfast I walk out of the dining hall and towards CIT meeting, I'm about to walk into Christophers Haven when I feel someone tap me on the shoulder.

"Gracie?"

"Kierra is going on the hike today."

"What?"

"Kierra, is going on the hike today."

"Why?"

"Some weird hidden agenda to get back at you and Cole." I sigh and run my hands through my hair,

"I'll talk to her." Gracie gets really close to my face,

"I don't know what goes on in Kierra's mind, but I don't think you broke her. She was broken to begin with, you just plucked the glass out one by one." She backs away from my face she glares at me one last time and walks away.

"Your going on the hike?" Colin asks me seriously, I just roll my eyes,

"Is that any of your business?" I ask him and he sighs,

"I'm just making sure your gonna be okay. Have you drank any water?" He asks and I suddenly feel offended.

"Why do you care if I'm okay?" I yell and he puts his hands up,

"It's my job to care. You broke up with me. Remember?"

"Yeah because I couldn't tell what kiss what real or if you were just trying to make your brother jealous!" It's his turn to be offended,

"I never once kissed you and it was fake!"

"That's not what it felt like to me!"

"It's not my fault he was always there!" I groan, "Of course! Cause nothing is ever your fault!"

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" He screams and I scoff and stomp away.

Who the hell is he to tell me what I can and can't do?

I walk up to Kara,

"I'm not going on the stupid hike, cause everyone seems to think it's in my best interest for me not to go on the hike!" I rant, she smiles at me sadly,

"Do you want to go on the hike?"

"Yes–well... not really! Cause I'm just gonna have to deal with Ashely and Sarah and Missy and that's just really annoying!"

"Then stay here, tell anyone you want to stay." She pauses, "but Colin and Cole are staying. You guys have to learn to get along." I groan,

"That's not fair."

"Life's not fair."

_

Everyone left for the hike and now it's me, Cole and Colin.

Why Kierra didn't choose anyone else to go is beyond me, but George did leave me a little something before he left which is going to make this whole ordeal a lot better.

I take a sip from my water bottle and my stomach instantly tingles.

How George got this to camp is a mystery and it may always be a mystery.

Right now, all three of us are sitting in silence by the flag,

"Can I have a sip?" Kierra asks me and I look at her then back at my water bottle, I shrug my shoulders handing it to her, already knowing her reaction.

She takes the beverage out of my hand, takes a sip and instantly spits it out everywhere.

"What the fuck was that?" She screeches, and I laugh but don't respond. I take the water bottle out of her hand and take a few sips before my throat burns. My head is kinda dizzy but it just feels nice,

"Is that—" she takes the bottle from my hand and sniffs it, she looks disgusted. Cole walks over and takes the bottle from my hand,

"You are not..."

"This is my escape."

"You know dad is addicted right?" Cole asks agitatedly,

"You smoke, I drink. It's our escape."

"That was Alcohol?" I hiss and they both ignore me,

"I quit."

"Did you really?" Colin questions his brother and I just stand there in disbelief,

"I just drank alcohol..." my head gets dizzy and the world is spinning,

"You gave Kierra some?" Cole yells. I can no longer think properly and I think I'm getting a little drunk,

"You-you gave me alc-"

_

"You guysh shoulf bebledoncehaul." Kierra giggles then hiccups, "I think I'm—I think I'm drunking."

"How much did you give her?" I scold my brother, his jaw slack,

"Only a sip I swear and-oh shit..." he looks at the bottle then back at Kiki,

"What?"

"She's never drinken before..."

"What is in the bottle?" I ask. He stands there for a second looking down at the bottle, he clears his throat-

"Vodka."

"Oh my god Colin! Do you ever think?"

"It's hard to think with her around!" Kierra mumbles some incoherent words,

"Really? Because she has the complete opposite affect on me, maybe it's not her. Maybe it's the drinking." I lecture, Colin doesn't know what to say back so he stomps off, I turn around.

"Hey Shortcake," she smiles at me,

"Your eyes are stormy,"

"Yeah, they do that sometimes."

"You should try and think about one thing at a time, then maybe you'll have ocean eyes like Colin," she burps, she looks further into my eyes, "or maybe it's not the amount of thoughts, but what you are thinking about."

"Why are you so philosophical when you're drunk?" She hiccups, we just stare at each other for a moment when I touch her shoulder, she smiles.

Her lips look so soft. I think about how I tried to kiss her a few days ago, things are different now. She isn't with Colin, I touch the back of her head and in one quick moment my lips interlock with hers. I feel electricity run all up and down my spine and my heart beat a million times per second.

Maybe I have a chance to win this bet after all...

Hey guys! What's upppp?

So yeah, that happened.

Question of the day: what's your favorite time of the day?

Mine is sunrise, especially over the ocean.

Anyways, love y'all!
