Chapter 3
"What the hell is wrong with her?" I questioned Dad, unable to sort out the tangle of emotions on Mom's face.
"I don't know, but it can't be good. Let's go before she comes back more pissed off, if that's even possible."
Following my dad, I assured myself that there was no feasible way Annie told Mom about us, she was sleeping on the couch just before Dad, and I went into his office. Even so, the long hallway that led back to the living area from Dad's office suddenly seemed shorter than I remembered as I walked in behind him, bracing myself for whatever had Mom so worked up.
"Do you see this?" Mom whispered, pointing at Annie, who was still fast asleep on the chesterfield.
"Umm, yes," Dad answered, squinting his eyes and tilting his head slightly to the side.
"Then who in the hell is in Annie's bed under the covers, giggling and, from the sounds of it, having sex?"
"What are you talking about?" I yelled out, making sure to wake Annie up and, hopefully, loud enough for Dani and Dylan to hear. It was all that I could think of doing under the gun.
"What the shit, Alex?" Annie popped her head up in a panic.
"Why are you yelling?" Mom scowled at me.
"What? I didn't yell," I replied, knowing damn well that I yelled.
"Yes, you did....," Mom paused, searching for what to say. "I think Dani and Dylan are in your bed making out and having sex under the covers."
"Bullshit! I don't believe you, and why were you in my room?" Annie demanded, knowing this was bad, really bad.
"I just went in to put your clean clothes on your dresser," Mom said defensively. "I made sure I was quiet so I didn't wake you, and when I heard the noises, I promptly left, assuming you and Dylan were fooling around. That was until I came back in here and saw you asleep on the couch," She explained as she paced back and forth in front of them.
"I still don't believe you. I'm going to see this myself," Annie jumped up off the couch and stomped loudly down the hall.
We all followed Annie toward her bedroom door like ants in a line. I stayed back a few steps just in case they didn't hear my yelling or Annie's stomping and the shit hit the fan. It wasn't much of a clue that our mother had caught them, but it was all we could do with the circumstances. Please, please, please don't be fucking, I thought as Annie burst through the door.
"What the fuck is going on in here, and where is Dani?" Annie grilled Dylan.
"Excuse me?" I heard Dylan respond as if she'd just accused him of having a third eye. I poked my head between Mom and Dad as soon as I caught up so I could scan the room for Dani's presence. There was no sign of her.
"Where is Dani?" Annie repeated, keeping her back to us and putting her hands on her hips. "Don't make me ask you again!"
"I don't know. Why are you treating me like this?" Dylan demanded as he sat up in the bed.
"Why is everyone yelling?" We heard Dani ask from behind us as she stepped out of my room and into the hallway.
You could clearly see the frustration and confusion on Mom's face as she caught sight of Dani coming out of MY room. She had accused them of fooling around, and she was mistaken from the looks of things. Even so, I could see the wheels turning behind her now perplexed expression, and I knew she wouldn't let it go that easy. There was an explanation, and Mom would get to the bottom of it.
"I -- I came in here and heard you two having sex under the covers," Mom stammered.
That accusation succeeded in sending everyone but me into a shouting match, and with them all yelling at each other, you couldn't understand what any of them were saying. It was madness, and emotions were running high.
"I WAS JERKING OFF!" Dylan screamed at the top of his lungs.
The usual, 'what did you say?' when someone hollers out something absurd never came. All you could hear was the sounds of them trying to catch their breath from their verbal warfare.
"I was watching a sex video of Annie and me that we made. She was on her period the entire week before she left, and finals were before that." He rambled on quickly while turning red. "We just haven't had sex in a while," He finally shrugged sheepishly. I was impressed. Dylan had me convinced, and I knew better!
"Oh my! I'm so sorry that you had to say that, Dylan. I'm genuinely embarrassed for accusing you of such an unspeakable act. If everyone will please excuse me, I'm going to go and... I don't know what I'm going to do, but-- I'm... so sorry," Mom struggled to get the last part out and started her walk of shame down the hall toward the kitchen.
I felt awful for Mom. She was correct in her assumption, but the moment she decided not to question them under the covers when she saw Annie sleeping on the couch was her downfall. Protecting Dani and Dylan was my number one priority. Without them, Annie's plan wouldn't work, we needed them.
"If you want to keep doing what all of you are doing, you have to stop being so careless. So no more switching between each other's rooms," Dad said firmly while staying calm as we all expected him to do. "Your mother is upset right now and isn't thinking clearly, but Dylan unmistakably told on himself. It won't take her long to figure out Annie needing to go to Walgreens because she was about to start her menstrual cycle was a lie."
Dylan and Dani both looked on, confused at Dad's comment.
"We'll talk about it later," Annie looked back and forth between Dylan and Dani.
"Sorry, Dad," I said, feeling like I had to say something.
"What you're doing is not ok and, frankly, needs to stop. I know it will take some time for you guys to understand this, but this isn't healthy. Having to keep up with a lie this consequential will wear you all down, and your relationships with each other as friends and lovers will suffer tremendously. Please consider your actions and what consequences will come from this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and try to help my wife recover and convince her that it was just a big misunderstanding."
We all said nothing and stood there, seemingly not knowing what to do or say. It wasn't that we didn't have anything to say. It was his presence that kept everyone's mouths shut.
Annie waited until Dad turned the corner into the kitchen before she went off, "What the hell were you two thinking?"
"Everyone said they were taking a nap," Dani said innocently and looked at us for understanding.
"My dad didn't. That was dumb, and now we're basically screwed for the rest of the trip. Dad is right, Mom will realize that either I'm lying, or Dylan is, and neither one of those is good," Annie said as she stood there shaking her head.
"Why did you lie about being on your period?" Dani asked.
"Let's talk about this later, I don't want to get into a long conversation with Mom being so upset. Tonight, when they go to bed, we'll talk about it then. The first thing we need to do is get Mom to relax and move on," I suggested as I worried about whether Dani or Dylan could handle the truth or even wait that long.
"No, I want to know now," Dani demanded, answering one of my questions.
"Alex came in me, and I needed to go to Walgreens to get a Plan B. I couldn't say I needed that, so I started some shit with my Mom so my Dad would take me to Walgreens. I knew he wouldn't go in with me as she would," Annie explained it like it wasn't a big deal at all, but their faces told another story.
"You let him have sex with you without a condom and cum in you?" It was Dylan who wanted answers now.
"We got caught up in the moment. It was our first time, don't be so judgmental. I know you two don't have sex with a condom. Quit trying to make me feel like shit for not wanting to take birth control. You know it breaks me out and makes me depressed."
"I can't believe you, Annie. You took advantage of Alex. He would've never have had sex with you if you didn't tell him you saw us fucking. How could you be so low? Actually, I don't care; either you can take me to the airport, or I'll call an Uber, but I'm going home," Dani looked at me for the last part of her statement.
"So, you two fuck up, and now it's our fault? You know what? Don't answer that because I don't give a shit," Annie turned and walked off.
