I woke up the next morning and felt warm arms around me. I opened my eyes and I was laying in my bed, I looked to see who was holding me but only slightly trying not to wake them up. It was Zacky; I smiled at myself and turned with my eyes closed just in case he wakes up. I cuddled into his chest and tried to hold in the excitement.
“Morning.” He said with sleep in his voice. His voice was sexy in the morning. “Morning.” I said looking up at him.
“How’d you sleep?” He asked
“Good yourself?” I asked
“Good now that I was here.” He said I smiled.
“So what were you hiding from Matt last night?” He asked
“What do you mean?” I asked but I knew exactly what he was talking about. “About Val.” He said propping himself up on his elbow.
“She’s not nice to me Zacky. Like I mean ever, she hurts me not just emotionally but physically.” I said
“How so?” He asked looking really concerned
“Remember when I was in the hospital the other day because of my concussion? Because I fell down the stairs at Matt’s house?” I asked
“Yeah.” He said
“I didn’t fall.” I said
“What happened?” He asked
“Val happened.” I said
“What’d she do?” He asked
“I came out of Matt’s bathroom and she was sitting there waiting on me, I thought she just needed the bathroom but instead she grabbed my arm and pushed me down the stairs just right so my head would hit the stairs.” I said
“That’s terrible Brice. Why didn’t you tell us?” He asked
“Because I knew you guys wouldn’t believe me.” I said looking down
He took my chin in his hand and pulled his face towards mine. He pressed his lips to mine and sparks flew, I laced my fingers though his hair. His tongue swiped across my bottom lip asking for entrance into my mouth, I parted my lips and his tongue automatically found mine. We pulled apart and he looked at me.
“I believe you.” He said
“Zacky don’t toy with my emotions.” I said
“What do you mean?” He asked
“That kiss. You know I like you Zack.” I said
“That’s why I kissed you. I like you too. No actually I’m wildly in love with you Brice.” He said
“You’re not messing with me are you?” I asked
“No I’ve liked you since I was twenty and you were fifteen. I know that sounds creepy as fuck but it’s true” He said
“I was fourteen when I noticed you in that way. You were always like my best friend but when I hit fifteen I wanted more out of my relationship with you but I knew it wasn’t going to happen.” I said
“Why did you think it wasn’t going to happen” He asked
“Look at you now look at me, look at the age difference.” I said
“I see two people meant to be together, and you’re eighteen now.” He said
“Zack you could get any girl in our school.” I stated talking about our college classes
“And I’m looking at the only one that I want to be with.” He said I just looked at him.
“Brice Austyn Carter I’d love it if you’d be my girlfriend.” He said
“Zachary James Baker I’d love to.” I said
“Don’t doubt that I don’t love you.” He said kissing me.
“Jimmy looked like he’s hurting a lot. Is something going on with him?” I asked
“Not that I know of and I thought he looked perfectly fine.” He said
“He looked it to me but I might have just been tired.” I said
“First class is in two hours, what do you want to do before then?” He asked
“Lay here.” I said
“Lazy.” He said smiling
“I’m comfortable in your arms. What do you want to do?” I asked
“You.” He flat out said
“Zacky.” I said
“What you asked.” He said I smiled and he moved himself so he was laying on top of me under the covers.
“What are you do--?” I asked getting cut off by him kissing me. Sparks flew again and I put my hands on his chest and held them there.
Eventually we were tangled up in my sheets but he was still on top. I heard someone clear their throat. “Mom.” I said pushing Zacky onto the floor.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” She asked
“We were just kissing Miss. Carter.” Zack said
“Zachary will you please wait outside or at Jimmy’s for my daughter.” My mom said He looked at me before he got up and went out the door, I heard the front door close and somehow I knew he was sitting under my window listening to us.
“What was that?” She asked me
“Harmless kissing mom.” I said
“Why are you with him?” She asked
“I love him mom just like I have foreverand I’m eighteen.” I said
“You don’t know what love is and he’s twenty-three fucking years old.” She said
I sighed.
“Brice break up with him.” She said
“Why don’t you like him? And I don’t have too I’m eighteen I date who I want.” I asked
“He’s in a band; he’s got tattoos and piercings he’s not good for you.” She said “You don’t even know what’s good for yourself.” I said getting up
“When you get home tonight since you’re a big bag eighteen-year-old pack some shit and be gone before I’m home.” She said walking out of my room.
I just got kicked out.
“Are you okay?” Zack asked popping his head in my window
“I just got kicked out.” I said
“Come stay with me.” He said “Yes because that will look well at school.
“Oh look, Brice is dating and living with Zack, she’s a slut”” I mocked
“Live with Matt.” He said
“I might then I can see you when ever.” I said pulling a shirt on over my tank top.
It had been a month since I started dating Zack and got kicked out; I’m living in Matt’s house in the guest bedroom. I was walking down the hall at school going to meet Zack when I heard it.
“Look at that slut, she’s sleeping with Zack Baker and living with his friend Matt. What a fucking whore.” A guy named Kevin Roads said
I walked into the bathroom when Val came out of a stall.
“You little fucking slut.” She said
“I didn’t do anything Val.” I said
“Yeah right. You’re such a fucking flirt so you better back the fuck away from my Mattie.” She said
“Or what?” I asked
She took my hair and banged my head on to the sink twice. I felt warm liquid drip down my face.
“Move out.” She demanded
I nodded and ran out of the bathroom. I held my head with my hoodie as I did, people were staring but I just wanted to get to my boyfriend. When I approached him Matt was standing there.
“Brice what’s wrong?” Zacky asked me
“Just take me to the hospital before I pass out Zack.” I said swaying because I was dizzy.
Matt looked at me funny, Zack looked around and scoped me up into his arms then Val came out and hung all over Matt.
“You are a fucking bitch!” I yelled then I passed out.
