"I don't wanna go home." I said to Jimmy who had already started driving there. "Why?" He asked.
"I just don't want this day to end, it's only 4." I stated.
"Me either." He smiled. "Let's head over to my house first though, we're too moist to do anything yet." He laughed.
"Ew. 'Moist'?" I said and it made him laugh. God I love it when he laughs.
We got to his house shortly, his parents were out. I walked in and felt a black cat rub up against my leg, he had a pretty nice place.
"Hey! Shadowcat likes you!" He exclaimed happily.
"Shadowcat? Like Kitty Pryde? From X-Men?" I asked.
"Yeah! I'm surprised you know that." He said.
"Hey! I know a lot of things!" I exclaimed, in a mock offended voice.
"Yeah I know, want a towel now?" He asked, as I realized my hair was still wet.
"Yeah sure." I replied as he walked out of the living room to get it. I couldn't help but walk around and look at all the pictures everywhere. "Aww baby Jimmy." I thought, smiling as I looked at a picture I had picked up.
"What are you doing?!" Jimmy had yelled behind me, to make me jump, which he succeeded at.
"Jimmy! Don't scare me like that!" I yelled as I turned around and hit his arm. He had changed clothes while he was gone, he was wearing a Metallica tee shirt and some sweat pants.
"Then don't look at embarrassing baby pictures." He laughed as he handed me the towel in his hand.
"They're not embarrassing, they're adorable!" I grinned as I used the towel to dry my hair.
"Oh do you want some different clothes?" He asked.
"Sure, do you have a dryer I can dry my clothes in?" I asked.
"Yeah, but go grab your shirt, you left it in the truck." He said tossing his keys at me. I caught them and ran out to the truck, opening it and grabbing my wet shirt and going back into the house.
"Here, put these on." Jimmy told me as he handed me some of his clothes. He showed me to a bathroom and I started changing when I got in. The clothes he gave me were a Nirvana tee shirt with the band on it, some jeans that were way too big for me, and a belt. I put the jeans on, they were way too long and I needed the belt so they would stay on as I desperately tried to roll them up so I wouldn't trip. The shirt was cool, I was considering stealing it from him. I looked at myself in the mirror, my makeup was everywhere, I tried to rub some of it off with water but it only helped a little bit, the lipstick came off but the eye makeup still kind of made me look like a raccoon. I walked out of the bathroom with my wet clothes and handed them to Jimmy who put them in the dryer.
"Dude your pants are so big on me." I complained.
"It's not my fault you're so short!" He teased.
"It's not my fault you're so fucking tall!" I joked as I sat on the couch.
"And besides," he started as he sat next to me. "you look cute in my clothes." He said, putting his arm around me.
"Oh shut up..." I blushed as I leaned on him. He flipped on the TV, we watched Supernatural until my clothes were dry.
"That show is so confusing I don't know how you watch it all the time..." He said to me.
"It's complicated, but its so awesome!" I laughed as I grabbed my clothes and walked over to the bathroom again. I walked in and took my clothes off, looking at myself in the mirror. I saw the scars on my hips and legs in disgust and the bruise on my arm from the idiot that was still there and quickly put my clothes back on. When I left the bathroom Jimmy was waiting for me.
"So what do you wanna do shortcake?" He asked playfully.
"Um I don't know... Have anything in mind?" I asked.
"Oh shit! I have rehearsal, at Brian's today!" He exclaimed. "You can come if you want." He suggested.
"Okay!" I grinned.
We drove over to Brian's and the guys were in his garage, with all the equipment. They rehearsed so many songs, they played for ages. I was sitting on the couch in his garage watching them rehearse, they were playing a song called Second Heartbeat, Matt was screaming the lyrics into the microphone, Brian and Zacky were playing the intricate solo as Johnny played bass I couldn't hear and Jimmy played the drums loudly and perfectly. I couldn't help but be mesmerized in them all, playing their instruments so perfectly and their chemistry with one another was flawless, even when they made mistakes it still sounded good to me. Jimmy was so amazing when he played drums, he was just so good, he's one of the most talented people I've ever even met and he actually thinks I'm worth being around, I still have trouble believing it. The song ended and they all sighed.
"That was amazing guys." I muttered, but loud enough for them to hear me.
"Shut up Shauni, we know it was bad." Brian snapped back at me, setting down his guitar.
"I'm serious, I thought it was really good." I replied.
"Whatever, playing like that isn't gonna get us into Warped Tour." Matt retorted, his face laced with worry.
"Val's been trying to get us in for months..." Jimmy sighed as he plopped down on the couch next to me and took my hand, Brian noticed.
"Hey!" He yelled as he pointed at our hands.
"What?!" Jimmy asked, still holding my hand, our fingers were interlocked together as everyone brought their attention in our direction.
"Johnny owes me money!" Brian yelled as he turned towards Johnny, grinning as we laughed.
"You guys bet on my love life?" Jimmy questioned.
"Yeah, we did, and now Johnny owes me 20 bucks!" Brian exclaimed happily.
"This doesn't prove anything, they're just holding hands!" Johnny replied.
"Are you or are you not dating?" Brian asked, turning towards us. Jimmy didn't say anything, he just kissed me. It was was a peck, but enough to prove a point.
"Yeah! I told you so! Now give me my money!" He yelled as Johnny took out the 20 dollar bill and Jimmy got up and snatched it out of his hand before Brian could grab for it.
"No more betting on people's lives." Jimmy fake scolded him as he put the money in his back pocket. Brian groaned and walked out of the garage with Matt and Johnny. Zacky was sitting on a chair near us, playing random chords on his guitar.
"Hey Zacky?" I asked, leaning on Jimmy.
"Yeah?" He asked as he stopped playing.
"What do you think of Alex?" I asked Zacky.
"She's cool, I've been hanging out with her a lot lately, why?" He smiled.
"Well she never tells me anything anymore... Just wondering" I smirked.
"Dude, you should ask her out." Jimmy stated bluntly.
"Seriously." I agreed.
"Jimmy! Did you tell her?" Zacky interrogated.
"You mean about the fact that you have a huge ass crush on Alex? Yeah I might of mentioned it." he laughed.
"You're a dick." He snapped at Jimmy, fidgeting with his snake bites.
"Hey! No fighting!" I yelled. "Anyways, Alex likes you, a lot, so grow a pair and ask her out before she gets tired of waiting." I stated bluntly, smirking as I got up off the couch with Jimmy. Zacky just groaned at us as we walked out of the garage through Brian's house to get outside. We got outside in the cold night air, Jimmy lit a cigarette and took a drag. I put my hands in my pockets, it was cold but it felt better, to not be so hot all the time from the California sun.
"Want me to take you home now?" Jimmy asked me as he exhaled the smoke.
"Not really..." I sighed. "But there's stupid fucking school tomorrow." I stated.
"Oh yeah..." He groaned as he put out the cigarette out and threw it somewhere and we started walking to the truck. I opened the door and got in the passenger side as Jimmy started the truck. I leaned on the window as we pulled out of the driveway, putting my hands in the pockets of my hoodie. I looked up at the sky, it was a full moon, shining brightly behind the clouds.
"It's a full moon." I smiled.
"You're not gonna turn into a werewolf are you?" Jimmy laughed.
"No," I laughed. "but the moonlight, it's beautiful. Don't you think?" I asked him.
"Yeah, beautiful..." He said, he was looking at me.
"Eyes on the road!" I laughed nervously, looking away from him, he realized he wasn't focusing and looked forward again. He turned on the radio, it was playing the CD that was in it already, Pantera. The song that was playing was This Love, my favorite song by them.
"I love this song." I smiled as I turned it up a bit.
"Me too." He agreed, grinning as he turned it up until it was really loud and it hadn't even hit the chorus yet. I just laughed as he drummed on the steering wheel and head banged to the song.
We pulled up to my house and Pantera was still playing loudly through the speakers before he pulled his key out. We got out at the same time and he walked me up to the door, gripping my hand tightly. He hugged me as we got up to the door, his chin was resting on the top of my head as I hugged him back. I looked up at him and felt his lips crash into mine, and his hand on my back pulling me closer. His lips were soft and cold and I could kiss them forever, it was perfect. I put my arms around his neck as the kiss deepened, I never wanted it to end but all good things must I guess... We broke the kiss as he hugged me again.
"Goodnight." He whispered.
"Goodnight." I whispered back as I broke the hug and he walked back to his truck, and I unlocked my front door.
"I'm home!" I yelled as I walked into the living room, locking the door behind me.
"So, where have you been all day?" Vicky asked me, walking down the stairs. She was wearing a white tank top with light blue jeans and black flats, her hair was in a messy bun on top of her head and she had a light coat of lip gloss on.
"Just, hanging with Jimmy." I replied casually, walking to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and saw leftover pizza, which I obviously took out and put in the microwave.
"What'd you guys do all day?" She asked as I pressed buttons on the microwave to start it.
"Why do you care?" I retorted, listening to the sound of the microwave buzz as the plate spun slowly.
"Just curious..." She muttered, sitting down at the table.
"I just watched him rehearse with the guys." I stated, pulling the pizza out of the microwave and sitting across from her.
"Rehearse?" She questioned.
"He's in a band, Avenged Sevenfold." I replied, taking a bite out of the pizza.
"Seriously Shauni? These are the kind of guys you're hanging around?" She scoffed, tapping her manicured nails on the table, I could feel her brown eyes judging me.
"Yeah, is there a problem?" I questioned her as I raised an eyebrow, still eating.
"No it's just, musicians, they're heart breakers, and I know that one of them has your heart." She muttered.
"You don't know anything Vicky!" I yelled slightly, getting up and throwing my pizza crust away.
"I just don't want you to get hurt." She sighed back at me.
"I'm not gonna get hurt! Stop trying to make me have doubts in him! You don't know anything about us!" I yelled as I walked out of the room quickly and went upstairs to my room, I didn't want to deal with that anymore.
I walked into my room and took my shoes and my clothes off, walking into my bathroom and taking a shower before changing into a tank top and some pajama shorts. I looked at the clock, 10 pm. I didn't feel tired but I still laid down on my bed, and wrapped my blanket around me, curling up in the warm, soft fabric. It was cold in the house, as always, but I felt a warm. I really hoped I wasn't completely in love, I didn't want to fall too fast. "I'm so dumb..." I thought as I closed my eyes. "Or maybe just happy... Think I'm just happy..." I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
