Chapter 15


Kiana woke up around eleven-thirty. She sat up rubbing her eyes, looking to her side noticing Brandon isn't there. She didn't expect him to be, but it still hurts to know he's not.


Kiana slowly made her way up the stairs to Nova and Luna's room.


"Well," Kiana walked in to a cuddling Luna and Nova. "Seems I've missed a lot." She smiled, jumping on the bed in between them.


They all laugh. Loud enough for the house to hear.


"What the hell is going on in here?" Danielle walked in. "And why wasn't I invited?" She smiled tilting her head slightly, plopping down on the end of the bed.


"We need a vacation." Kiana sighs.


"This is a vacation?" Nova looks at her like she's crazy.


"No like an us vacation, no boys, no girlfriends, just us." Kiana looked around at all of her friends.


"I second that." Luna smiles.


"Me too." Danielle sighs, flipping around so she's on her stomach, looking at them.


"All four of you in the same bed?" Zion walked in, smiling.


"Get out." Nova jokingly yelled at him, throwing a pillow.


"What's with you already being dressed?" Luna looked at Danielle. "You're never even up this early."


"I want to do some shit today." Danielle shrugged.


"We should do something, just us four." Nova interrupts.


"Agreed." Kiana responded.


"I mean all we really can do is swim or play volley ball." Luna sighs.


"Well I have some places to go by." Danielle sighs.


"Where?" Nova looks over at her.


"I wanted to check a few places out down here, a few shops I wanna go by. You guys could come with, if you want." Danielle shrugged.


"Sure, beats being stuck in this house with Brandon." Kiana sighs.


The name Brandon sent a chill down Novas spine, her stomach turned. Not in the 'you make me sick way' but in the 'oh I like you and so does my best friend' way.


Nova gulped before speaking.


"I'm in."


"Yeah me too." Luna agreed.


"Okay well get ready we also need to get liquor for tonight's party." Danielle stands up off the bed. "We need to leave in about an hour." She days before exiting the room.


"I'm gonna go get ready." Kiana moves from between the two to get off the bed. "No cuddling without me." Kiana fake frowned before leaving the room, and going downstairs.


She made her way back to her room, she walked in to Brandon coming out of the bathroom. Of course he was in a towel.


"Sorry." He stumbles over his words.


"It's fine, I just need to change." Kiana grabs clothes out of closet, before pushing Brandon and walking into the bathroom.


"Kiana do you have mascara I lost mine and.." Novas words trail off as she stares at Brandon who is still standing in his towel. "Sorry." She shakes her head, breaking her gaze.


"It's okay." He assures her.


"I just needed something from Kiana.." Nova smiled awkwardly.


"She's changing." He pointed backwards to the bathroom.


"And you probably need to as well." Nova laughs slightly. "I'll uh, let you I guess." She turns to leave.


"Nova?"


"Yeah?" She sighs turning around.


"Here." Brandon walked towards her mascara in hand. He smiled slightly.


"Thanks." Nova smiled, before leaving the room.


"Who was that?" Kiana leaves the bathroom.


"Nova needed some of your makeup or something." He walked over to his bags.


"Oh." Kiana sighed, before leaving the room.


"Danielle?" She stops in front of Danielle who is smoking in the doorway.


"Yeah?" She turns to her.


"Is Penelope coming with us? I need to know if I should be emotionally prepared."


"No," Danielle laughs slightly. "She's still sleeping." Her laughs stop and she just smiles.


"Oh okay." Kiana smiled, before heading outside.


All the girls make their way outside before piling into Luna's car.


"So what were you gonna do if I didn't want to go today? Since you have no car here." Luna got into the drivers seat.


"Oh easy, I was gonna take your keys." Danielle smiled. Clearly serious.


"How would you have gotten away with it?" Nova looks over at her.


"I've done it before." Danielle shrugs.


"You have?" Luna turns in her seat to look back and Danielle.


"Yes...can we just go now please it's already one pm." Danielle leans back in her seat.


Luna turns back around and starts the car.


Their drive to the liquor store is short considering it's literally right next to the beach house.


"Who's coming with me?" Danielle gets out of the car.


"Me." Kiana gets out as well.


"I'll wait." Nova and Luna say in unison.


Kiana and Danielle walk into the store, Kiana immediately goes for the vodka isle, Danielle went straight for the tequila. They both grabbed their desired drinks as well as some other drinks. Before paying and leaving. The cashier was a little suspicious of Danielle's fake Id, but clearly didn't care to much.


They drove to a few other places before going home, by the time they are home and everything is unloaded it's five pm, the sun normally sets around seven, so they had time.


"The boys and I are going to set up the wood for the fire." Brandon yells at them before running to the boys who have already started to assemble the wood.


"Nothing too big please." Danielle yells at them. They just nod.


"What took you guys so long? Josephine is no fun." Penelope fake frowned, walking over to Danielle.


"We had to get some shit for tonight." Danielle sighs.


"Are you pissed about something?" Penelope tilts her head at Danielle.


"No, no I'm not that's just my tone." Danielle laughs slightly, giving Penelope a quick kiss before going inside.


The rest of the time is spent trying to light the fire, once they get started it's already dark. They all make their way out to the bonfire.


They start by making s'mores and mostly drinking.


"Ow fuck." Danielle drops the metal rod from her hand.


"You okay?" Josephine and Penelope look at her.


"I'm fine." Danielle smiles at Penelope.


"We should not being drinking around a fire." Brandon sits down in the sand.


"Yet here we are." Nova looks at the fire in front of her, taking another sip from her cup.


"It's fine," Danielle sits down as well. "Just don't like jump in or anything." She shrugs.


"No shit." Nova laughs slightly.


"I'm gonna go in for a second." Braeden sits his cup down on a table.


"Tell Luna we said hi." Penelope calls at him.


He just rolls his eyes, before walking inside.


"So what are we gonna do now?" Kiana looks around at all of them.


"Everyone get in a circle." Penelope gestures for all of them to move into the circle. "Let's play spin the bottle." Penelope smirks, looking at the group in front of her.


"I'm down." Danielle smiles.


"Me too." Brandon and Zion say in unison followed by Nova and Kiana.


"I'm gonna sit this one out." Josephine says backing out of the circle.


"See told you." She looks at Danielle. "No fun."


"Let's just play." Kiana shoots Penelope a glare.


"I'll start." Penelope spins the bottle, it lands on Zion.


She moves across the circle, placing a kiss on his lips.


"Suddenly I remember why I'm gay." She smiles, moving back to her seat next to Danielle.


Everyone just laughs, even Zion.


"I'll go next." Kiana spins the bottle, it lands on Hero.


"Seriously?" Josephine sighs from behind them.


"Hush you aren't even playing." Penelope looks over at her tilting her head.


Kiana moves next to him. She leans into kiss him it lasts around ten seconds not really a quick kiss, she slowly pulls away, blushing slightly, before moving back to her seat.


"Uh, anyways, I'll go." Nova shrugs spinning the bottle, it lands on Penelope.


"I have to kiss her?" Nova scoffs.


"Don't worry, she's not bad." Danielle smirks at Penelope.


Nova moves over to Penelope, and kisses her not too fast but not slow, she was one hundred percent uncomfortable. Brandon and Zion just kinda of tilt their heads at the sight in front of them. Nova moves back to her seat.


"Well who's next?" Nova looks around at all of them.


-Inside-


Luna and Braeden sit on the couch, watching their favorite movie. A very comfortable silence spread across the room.


"So why'd you come in? I know it's probably more fun out there." Luna looks over at him.


"I wanted to sit with you, it's weird not having you out there." Braeden softly smiled at her.


"It's weird not being out there." Luna turned her gaze back to the tv.


"I don't know, it's better being in here, watching old movies again." He smiles.


"I missed it." She smiles to herself.


"Me too." He says quietly, turning back to the movie.


-Bonfire-


The turn had eventually made its way over to Zion.


He spun the bottle, landing on Nova.


"Are you kidding me?" Nova says, half joking.


Nova just got up and leaned in, planting a small peck on his lips.


"Okay.. who's next?" Danielle asked among the group.


"Here." Brandon said, spinning the bottle.


Fate chose and it landed on Kiana.


Kiana looked around and back up to him.


Brandon waited for her approval, and Kiana just nodded, sitting up and going forward.


They both leaned in and stopped feeling their lips touch.


"Boring!" The group laughed around.


Once they let go, they stared into each other's eyes, something out a movie.


"I'm gonna get more to drink." Nova lied, standing up and running off into the beach house.


She walked into a cuddling Luna and Braeden, who seemed not too aware of their actions.


"Nova, you okay?" Luna asked, seeing Nova's demeanor.


"Uh- yeah," But a loud voice behind her, cut her off.


"Nova?" Zion interrupted.


"Yeah?" Nova turned around.


"Can we talk?" Zion asked.


Nova nodded, walking up into his room, Zion following.


"I-I think I'm gonna go out there." Braeden said, removing his arm from around her shoulder.


"Oh, ok." Luna fake smiled.


Braeden nodded and got up, heading outside.


"Nova.. tell me, honestly. Do you love him?"


"What? No!" Nova denied.


"Nova.. you can't keep lying to me- to yourself! Why did you leave?" Zion kept interrogating her.


"I left because I wanted more to drink! Didn't you hear me? I sounded pretty clear." Nova kept lying.


"You don't have to lie to me. You're my best friend and you should be able to tell me everything." Zion said.


"Actually Luna, Kiana and Danielle are my best friends," But she stopped noticing his stupid face.


"Okay, I'm not in love, but, I don't know. Maybe I like him. I just can't, I can't like him. Kiana means the world to me and I'm not about to be a cliche, bitch, and ruin their relationship." Nova ranted.


"You don't have to." Zion told her.


"What do you mean?" Nova asked, sitting on the bed.


"I mean, maybe you need to take your mind off of him. I know in his eyes he loves Kiana, and I don't know when he'll stop. Maybe you need a distraction." Zion said.


"What are you trying to say?" Nova looked in his eyes.


Zion just leaned in, closing the space between them. Nova didn't stop it either.


Zion pushed her lightly down on the bed. She tugged on his shirt and removed it.


He looked at her for permission to remove her shirt and she nodded.


He raised it above her arms and threw it on the ground.


Slowly but surely, all their clothings were on the floor.


Luna still sat in the living room, watching movies, being bored out of her mind.


Until she heard sounds.


Sounds that she shouldn't be hearing.


She gasped and tried to cover her ears.


"Luna!" Everyone yelled as they entered.


Luna went wide eyed and stood up off the couch.


"Guys! We need to go outside cause I wanna play spin the bottle!" Luna lied, pushing them out.


They all looked confused but followed her instructions, instead, playing it outside on their porch, not wanting to head all the way out.


"Here." Danielle handed the bottle to Luna.


"Anyone wanna play?" Penelope asked the others.


"I'll play." Braeden joined in.


Brandon joined in, Kiana, and Danielle.


"Okay." Luna nodded, spinning the bottle.


"Gosh, god loves you tonight." Kiana told Penelope, the bottle landing on her.


Luna leaned forward and brought her lips to hers. Pulling away instantly.


"Who's next?" Luna asked.


"I'll go." Danielle chimed.


She spun the bottle and it landed on Brandon.


"No." Danielle instantly denied, Kiana laughing at her response.


Brandon banded the bottle to Braeden, who didn't really wanna play.


He spun it and for Luna, it felt like hours until it finally landed on..


Her.


Everyone looked at each other, wide eyes but smirks going around.


"Okay.. what are you guys waiting for?" Penelope interrupted the silence.


Luna looked over at him and climbed over.


They all looked away, giving them privacy.


Once they felt their like touch, sparks went through their bodies.


Luna pulled away, her eyes still closed.


"I need to use the restroom." Luna said.


She got up and ran up into the beach house.


"Play without me!" Luna hollered, not forgetting about Zion and Nova.


She closed the screening and went upstairs.


She didn't hear any noises so she hoped it was safe. That they weren't doing anything.


She laid in the bed and placed her headphones in, listening to music.


While everyone else was having a blast.


Zion and Nova.. maybe a little more.


Tears in her eyes, she finally fell asleep.
