Free Lilith by Ashley Jeffery Page B

know.
    Dean and I finished watching the rest of Jennifer’s Body ignoring the fact that we'd already missed watching half of it. The movie was funny in an ironic kind of way. I couldn't help but see the small similarities between Needy and Jennifer's relationship with mine and Rhiannon's. Granted we didn't do anything lezy like those two crazy chic’s did. But we had started out friends, and now it seemed like we were becoming enemies.
    When Wes had asked about Rhi I'd felt bad. Ever since I'd started dating Dean I'd been spending most of my time with him. I think I only saw Rhiannon twice in the last week. Although I couldn't really be blamed for the days I'd spent in the hospital, and Rhiannon had only come to visit me the once. But still I was accountable for ditching her for Dean.
    I hadn't heard from any of the Bad Girls either, but then again they did whatever Rhiannon told them to. Which was so freaking similar to how Lexie was with her bobble heads I was really starting to worry.
    If Rhiannon could just let the stuff that happened with Lexie go, maybe, just maybe, our friendship would survive. But if she kept moving forward with this evil obsession and vengeance, eventually, she was going to end up just as twisted and messed up as Lexie was, or used to be. Although, used to be wasn't exactly true yet, all Lexie had proved was that she wasn't the one who’d attacked me, she hadn't yet proved she wasn't the one who screwed up my car.
    God I missed my car. I'd have given just about anything to have the ability to leave my house completely unsupervised. My parents were so overly protective now it was ridiculous. At least today I'd been able to spend most of my time with Dean without them watching our every move.
    I walked Dean downstairs and to the door. We were standing on the front step staring at each other quietly. Neither one o f us really knew what to say.
    "So I'll pick you up tomorrow?" He asked.
    I smiled. "Yep."
    He leaned forward and kissed me softly on the mouth. I was surprised when he slipped his tongue between my lips and stroked mine seductively. I breathed in the taste of him. The sweet heady flavor was like liquid fire warming me all the way to my toes. I pushed myself closer to him plastering my body against his rock solid one.
    It was like being on the front step released us from worrying about taking it too far or moving too quickly. For just a moment under the twinkling stars, we could let ourselves go completely, and fully express the passion and the love we felt for each other.
    Dean pulled back reluctantly. I never thought he'd be the one to do it. You always think it’s going to be the boys that want things to move forward. And here I was practically raping him on my front door step. Woo Hoo Pacey way to have some self-control.
    He smiled and turned towards his truck.
    "Bye? " I said in an annoyed voice.
    He chuckled kind of smugly as he walked away. Great, now I was just a big damn joke stroking his overly confident teenage boy ego. I slammed the front door when I was safely inside. I was kind of offended he could control himself so well.
    I crossed my arms and stomped up the stairs to my bedroom. I wanted to talk to Rhiannon I missed my best friend. But it was fairly obvious she now hated me. Maybe if I apologized...
    I started typing into the phone and then stopped short, not only had Rhiannon slapped me, but she'd also kind of threatened me. Did I really need to apologize to her. All I'd done was get the boyfriend she'd pushed me into pursuing, and well I was thankful but did I really need to feel guilty?
    Rhiannon was also severely pissed when I didn't call her from the hospital. But it wasn't exactly my fault, I mean I was practically dead when I'd arrived. So no, there was no way I was going to be the one to apologize.
    I guess it was time to find a new friend. I didn't know why but I immediately thought of Lexie. She had said she wanted to be my friend. I snorted a laugh. What was I
