Chapter 93: Chapter 93

"Guys?" Dina and Sid, who was a little far away from us joined too. Steven hasn't spoken a word; he was still looking at us in shock. I hurriedly pulled back from Tucker and hugged myself.

"Did you burn the nudes?" Tucker got up and growled, Steven's eyes were stuck on me. Why was he acting like I have done something crazy? We were not couples, neither loyal. He kissed Ivory and expected me to be okay with it, so why is he watching my face as I owe him an explanation?

"Tell me, did you burn them?" Tucker grabbed his collar and shook him, when he didn't answer, Tucker's punch knocked him on the floor.

"Hey back off!" Sid yelled and pushed Tucker back, quickly kneeling beside Steven, who was bleeding slightly from his lip but he was still in shock.

"What nudes?" Dina came forward, her face told me that she already knew.

"Her nudes." Tucker pointed in my direction, he was loud and breathing like a beast. "If he didn't, I will burn him alive, and trust me, I will burn you all too." He warned, taking a step closer to Dina.

"I won't repeat, back off," Sid shouted, gritting his teeth. I held Dina from her hand and pulled her to the side.

"Did you know?" I asked, really wishing for her to say she didn't know, but in answer to my question, she slowly looked down. I let go of her hand and sobbed in my palms.

"You okay?" Bailey, who came out of the building with a blanket, saw Steven on the cold ground and ran in his direction.

"What is going on here?" Sid yelled in exhaustion, he has no idea what we went through this night.

"I will tell you," Dina announced, I looked at Steven, who was finally getting up on his feet and gaining his posture.

"Yes, I burned them." Steven interrupted Dina and lifted his face straight at me. Tucker approached him to punch him again but this time, Steven grasped his hand and landed a punch in his face. Steven didn't even flinch and Tucker fell on the ground "I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get hurt, and I don't f**** care what others think about me, but I did it all to save you from the pain." He shouted loudly and glared at Tucker.

"She would be careful around Lauren if you have told her," Tucker growled and rushed but Sid came between them.

"Lauren knew her daughter was pregnant, it wasn't some secret mission," I spoke bitterly and Steven gasped, the look of confusion written on his face.

"No, she didn't know," Steven whispered, totally confused.

"She met us before leaving, having a last dinner with us," Tucker stated, calling Steven a liar.

"That's not what she told me." Steven looked at me and expected me to believe him after telling me so many lies.

"If she told you secrets about Lauren; she must have told Lauren all about our plan too." Bailey being the smartest cookie, intervened, "means she is prepared for us to join her on Sunday." she added.

"We should go tonight and surprise her." Sid mumbled and looked at Dina, "what's the story of her nudes?" he uttered and thought no one was listening to him. She eyed him to shut up and he gulped.

"Here!" Bailey handed Steven a tissue to wipe off the blood and he took it with his head bowed down. I felt my heart burning in jealousy, but why am I still thinking about him, especially after his lies and actions?

"That sounds like a good idea, she wouldn't be expecting us." Dina too agreed.

"But the night is almost over," I said,

"And she is not home." Tucker added, "she is staying with the neighbors." he mumbled, and once again our plan failed.

"Tomorrow night it is then." I said, "I don't want Steven in or near the house." I bitterly muttered and everyone watched my face.

"Of course we can't have traitors there with us." Tucker scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"That's not fair, he did all that to keep you from pain and you are acting so stiff." Dina grasped my hand and pushed me back, I couldn't believe she was mad at me for this. I expected a truth from him, and what he gave me were lies and pain.

"He kissed my sister and lied about that too." Tucker announced and shrugged, " but of course he is too good looking to be blamed for anything." Tucker shrugged again and kept his posture straight.

"Fine, I am out." Steven, who felt like was showing no interest now, announced, throwing the tissue with blood on the ground.

"No! We need you." Dina held his hand and he stopped, turned around to look at his hand, and then at me.

"I don't think that's the case anymore." His eyes were cold, I nearly gasped, things were no longer the same.

"So tomorrow night it will be then," Bailey added, we saw Steven leaving before us and disappearing from our sight. We all said our goodbyes and before heading to our homes, Tucker stopped and veered to me.

"I never thought I will be so happy on the most painful night of my life." I knew what he meant, "You are amazing Elle!" he smiled and drove away.

I laid in my bed and for the first time, I felt like I have nothing left. This wasn't because of the pictures, but the fact that Steven saw us, I had prevented my brain from thinking about it, but now that I was alone in my bed, I began to recall the details and it broke my heart that I did exactly what Steven did, we both cheated and that made me think twice about us, where we really meant to be together?

"Don't overthink, grab all the sleep because we are not getting any tomorrow." Bailey approached my bed and pulled my blanket over me and smiled.

"Thanks!" I whispered and she smiled again.

"I wish I had someone too when I was in need, but at least I learn to be there for someone in need." she really was a pleasant girl, how can someone do those horrible things to a girl like Bailey, even to anyone.
