Betrayed By Everyone, Loved By Four
Betrayed By Everyone Loved by Four Chapter 38

The next day I woke up to Lila climbing back in my bed bright and early. She was mortified that I was naked but we ended up laughing about it. After we git up, we started to get ready for our girls brunch. Lila has come to the brunches with us every Sunday since they moved here. It's been a lot of fun. Today the other mothers of our little group are coming as well. Apparently, all the guys are going golfing.

I dressed in some light wash jean shorts and a baby blue top that ties behind my neck and back. No bra for me today. I threw my dirty blone hair up into two space buns. They look fluffy and big thanks to my long thick hair. I applied mascara and a light pink lip gloss. That was my usual and I was fine with that. "You look hot. It's the top for me." Lila said when I stepped back into my bedroom.

Lila got ready in my brothers bathroom so that we didn't have to share a mirror. Though, I think she was up to something else. I chuckled at her.

"Thank you."

Then I looked her up and down. Lila has her long black hair down and naturally wavy. She has on black jean shorts with a bright red cropped T-shirt. Her eyes are winged with black liner like usual, and she has a clear lip gloss over her lips. "You look hot yourself. I love the clear gloss on you." I told her.

Lila beamed at me. "Thanks." She said.

"Girls! You ready to go?" Mom called.

"Be right there!" I called back.

Halfway through the brunch and Lila and I were over it. Mrs. Miller's daughter didn't come today. Something about wanting to go do something with her friends. Couldn't blame her. Now the ladies brunch has turned into all of our moms drinking mamosa's and cackling loudly.

"Should we maybe ask to leave?" Lila whispered to me as we watched our mothers pour another glass.

I shrugged. "Who will drive them home?" I asked.

"I texted my dad, he said he will pick them all up if we want to leave." Lila told me.

I looked over to her. "Really?" I asked surprised.

She nodded. "He said that the boys left to go to some work at the firm for them or something. Said we shouldn't feel obligated to stay because they didn't." She said with a giggle. "We can go to that pizza place that you love and get ice cream after. Like a friend date." Lila practically whined.

I giggled. "You think our moms would let us?" I asked her.

Lila shrugged. "Only one way to find out." She said. "Hey mom." Lila called and her mom looked over at her.

"Yeah honey?" Mrs. Whitmore asked.

"Dad said that he wouldn't mind picking you guys up if maybe Millie and me can go to town and hang out?" Lila asked.

My mom looked to me. "You want to go Millie?" She asked.

I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes when I saw the hope in hers. Mom brought me along so that I wouldn't feel lonely. I enjoyed these brunches but I would be lying if I said I wanted to stay here today.

"Yeah, if that's alright." I told her.

"I say we let them go." My mom said.

"Agreed." Mrs. Whitmore said.

Lila and I beamed and wasted no time rushing out the door.

Not too long later and we were at the pizzeria enjoying a large pineapple and bacon pizza.

"This is so good." Lila said with her mouth full.

"Told you." I said with a laugh. "Pineapple is amazing on pizza." I said.

Lila giggled. "How can I even deny it after eating three slices?" She asked.

I laughed at her and looked down to check my phone. I've been doing that a lot today. None of the guys have messaged me for a while. When I woke up I had a good morning message from each of them. Atlas had added how much he missed me. After that though, nothing. I even sent a few of my own, telling them that I hoped they are having a good day. It's weird for not one of them to reply though.

"You okay?" Lila asked me.

I shook my head and looked up at her with a smile. "Yeah, just wondering what the guys are up to." I said.

"Caleb said something about them running an errand or two for our dads. Maybe they're busy." She told me with a shrug.

I nodded but didn't say anything. That's more than I knew. Maybe Lila is right though and they are just busy. Leo had made it pretty clear that I needed to stop overthinking everything. "So, are you sure you want ice cream after this?" I asked Lila.

Her eyes went wide as she looked down at our almost gone pizza. "I can do it." She said.

I laughed. "We can go for a walk before to work up more of an appetite if you want? Theres a trail in the woods off of the park across the street." I told her.

Lila looked out the window at the park.

"That sounds fun." She said.

Lila and I took our last few slices of pizza to my mom's car before walking across the street. I lead her to the small trail off to the side. Lot's of people use this trail to run or walk their pets.

"So, you gonna tell me what you did in my brother's room last night?" I asked.

"You sure you want to know?" Lila asked.

I laughed. "No, but if you want to talk about it, I'm all ears." I said.

Lila laughed softly. "Well, I know that my brother and Oliver came over last night." She said.

My eyes went wide. "Oh no... Were we loud?" I asked feeling horrified.

Lila laughed some more and put her hand on my shoulder. "No. Well, I mean, I didn't hear you. I only knew because they brought Caleb with them." She told me.

"Oh." I said lamely.

"He snuck into his own room for me." She said with a giggle.

"And he was the perfect gentleman? Because if he wasn't, I'll kick his a*s." I told her.

Lila giggled some more. "He was a perfect gentleman I swear." She said.

We walked about halfway down the trail, just talking and giggling nonstop. Lila told me about how their life was before they moved. She didn't give me a whole lot of details with the guys, but with what she did tell me, I was happy that they are all here. And I am even happier that Caleb took an instant liking to Lila. As gross as it will be to have my brother and best friend together, I know that Caleb would never hurt her. He isn't that type of person, and he really likes Lila. Anyone who knows him can tell. "Well well well." We heard someone say from in front of us.

Lila and I looked up to see Vanessa, Milinda, and a few of the other cheerleaders. I didn't know all of their names but I did recognize one. Ally. She is a fake blonde haired sophmore. Ally tried to befriend me last year and I fell for it. All she wanted was to get close to Caleb. When he told her he wasn't interested... Well, she played a very big and mean prank on me before telling the whole school that she and Caleb slept together. It was kind of crazy, the girl is nuts. "What do you want?" Lila asked them angrily.

Milinda smiled and stepped closer to us. "Nothing, nothing." She said feigning innocence. "We were just going for a walk and ran into you guys." She said.

"We weren't aware they let trash just linger around out here. I thought they had people to clean that up?" Vanessa asked scrunching her face up. "Yeah Lila, where are your gloves? Aren't you usually the one cleaning up trash?" Ally asked making the others snicker.

Lila raised a brow at Ally. "Do I know you?" She asked.

Ally scoffed and narrowed her eyes. "I'm surprised you don't."

Now it was my turn to raise a brow. "Why does that surprise you? You're not important."

My eyes went wide at my own comment. I can't believe I said that. Usually I just keep my head down and my mouth shut. Why am I egging them on now?

Ally turned her narrowed eyes at me. "That's rich coming from you whore."

I'm not sure if it has been the guys, or my new friendship with Lila that had me feeling confident, but I couldn't help myself when I laughed. Like really laughed. I had to bend over and hold my belly. "What the hell is your problem?" Ally asked, but I couldn't stop laughing.

"Have you finally lost your mind Holmebrooke?" Milinda asked.

I shook my head and wiped the tears from my eyes. "No." I said between laughs. "It's just so funny." I said still laughing. "Being called a whore by someone who lied to the whole school about sleeping with my brother." And the laughter is back tenfold.

Lila began to laugh beside me. "You told the whole school that you slept with Caleb? Now I know why you think I should know who you are. You're that crazy girl that he told me about." She said and started to really laugh.

Ally looks furious. "We did slept together. We were going to be in a relationship but I told him I just wasn't ready for the commitment." She said.

That made my laughter worse. "Oh my god, stop, please, I'm gonna pee." I said between laughs.

"I don't care if you believe me." Ally stated and then stuck her nose in the air.

"Why would we believe you? Because you are such an honest person?" I said with another laugh. "That's too funny."

"Why don't the two of you just shut the fuck up." Ally seethed.

"Oh, are we making you mad?" Lila asked amused.

"You should be the mad one, you have my sloppy seconds." Ally said smugly.

Lila licked her lips and made a slurping noise. "And boy oh boy do they taste good." She said.

"Gross." I commented but laughed anyways.

"That's it." Ally stated and marched right up to Lila.

Without thinking I stepped in front of my best friend. Ally is a short girl and had to look up at me. I just stared down at her not sure what to do or what was going to happen.

"Get out of my way Holmebrooke." Ally seethed.

I opened my mouth to tell her no but Lila spoke up stopping me.

"It's okay Millie. I'm not afraid of the little cheerleader." She said and stepped around me to face Ally. "You want to fight me? Let's fight." Lila stated.

Oh no. I watched in stunned silence as Ally winded her fist back. Lila smirked at her like she wasn't about to be hit. I was about to watch my best friend get punched.

Ally's fist came flying faster than I expected honeslty. Just before it was to connect with Lila's nose, she dodged it and Ally stumbled forward. Lila used the opportunity to grab Ally's arm and send her flying to the ground.

"You stupid bitch!" Ally screeched as she got back to her feet.

Another one of the cheerleaders came up behind Lila. I reached forward to block my friend but then my arms her pulled back. I looked to my sides to see that Vanessa and Milinda were holding me back.

"Lila behind you!" I called.

Unfortunately I was too late. The cheerleader jumped onto Lila's back and they tumbled to the ground. I struggled against the two holding me back. Lila struggled on the ground with the one girl and Ally. Milinda had another girl take her place and she stood in front of me. "I've been trying to catch you alone for weeks now Millie, but you're always with those guys." She said to me and then laughed. "Not now though."
