Chapter Four
This time around we will spend our time in Willow Creek. Danielle is fine and enjoying the sun and surf in Tartosa, and checking out the available range of boy toys in town. She's hard at work on her first novel but she doesn't yet have a title for it. With that all said, on with the show.
When we were last with the BFF trio Travis was flirting outrageously with Liberty. He thought things were going great, but secretly Liberty was having second thoughts. She got swept up in the rush of having a very attractive man showing interest in her, something that sadly she doesn't get enough of. That was why she momentarily fell for Travis' flirting, but she knew how Summer felt about Travis, and Liberty would not do anything intentional to hurt her feelings. Liberty knew she had to get out of that room fast. As she started for the door, Travis was thinking he had the go ahead to make the next move, but Liberty made it clear that this was definitely a no!
Liberty hurried out of the room and made her way to her bedroom where she sat alone as she wondered and worried about what had just happened.
The next couple of weeks passed uneventfully as life continued as it always had in the BFF household. But, where dirty little secrets lie, somebody will accidentally uncover them. And so it goes here too, as Summer is about to get the shock of her life when she inadvertently stumbles across Travis on the phone with his buddy Marcus Flex.
Travis finishes his call and heads out before Summer can regain her wits and confront him. But Liberty is still in the house and it's time for a very loud chat..

What had she done? She hadn't done anything wrong. Travis made the first move, and totally uninvited too. She hadn't sent any signals, she knew that for a fact. But she had fallen for it, for just a moment all the same. Liberty couldn't stop herself wrongly thinking she had been at least partly to blame.

For that matter what was on Travis' mind when he tried to kiss her as she was leaving? Just what did he plan to do? How far did he think he was entitled to go?

What is she going to do about Summer? But Summer wasn't home, and if Travis kept his mouth shut Summer would never know.https://i.imgur.com/tp77HiZ.png
Still the guilt, which was churning in Liberty's mind, would not go away.

Yeah it is pretty good. But man, Liberty is really. messin' with my head. I'm sitting there with her the night while Summer was at work, and she's all revved up and drops me the signal, and I laid on the charm. She's flirting with me.....

Summer: You have some nerve! You know how I feel about Travis and you go and try to steal him from me! How could you stab me in the back like that?
Liberty: What in the world are you talking about? What would make you think I'm trying to steal Travis from you? Have you lost your mind?
https://i.imgur.com/dC90OkL.png?1
Summer: Don't play dumb with me! I heard Travis telling someone over the phone that you were flirting with him! Deny it! I dare you!
Liberty: I don't deny it, I did, but he flirted with me first! Yes! I did flirt with him. I got swept up in the moment. But as soon as I answered his flirt with my own I felt horrible and left the room! He started all this, and he's trying to blame me? And you'd believe him without talking to me first!! You're the one with some nerve Summer Holiday! I got caught up in the moment with a very attractive man because I so rarely get attention from good looking men. All I ever get are the losers and creeps.

Summer: That's not true and you know it Liberty!
Liberty: No! That is the truth Summer but you don't know it because every time I went out it was clubbing with you and Danielle and you two latched on to all the good looking guys! You two had all the fun, but what did I get? I got left behind to hold the table for you two and your boy toys and to make sure no one spiked your drinks! You know what else I got? I got left one-on-one with the creeps and losers. Oh yeah that's the truth that you never saw because you were too busy being the life of the party! It's a testament to how much I love you and Danielle that I put myself through that humiliation time after time. Not one time did you two ever stop to think, maybe we should hang with Liberty for awhile or insist that the guys include her too. Oh yeah, that's the truth Summer! Like I said I love you two like sisters but after that don't come up here getting in my face because of one harmless little flirt! Oooo, you have some nerve!

Summer: Oh my god Liberty, I,,I, I, don't know what to say,
https://i.imgur.com/FYoOcWP.png?1
Liberty: "Sorry, and I promise I'll never let that happen again", would be a really good place to start.
Summer: Oh my god yes. Liberty, from the bottom of my heart I promise never to take you for granted, that you will always be an equal with me. And Danielle I'm sure!
Liberty: I'll give her this lecture too someday, you can bet on that.

Liberty: Now let's bury the hatchet. And I would suggest burying it in one Travis Scott!
