You'd Better Hide the Bullets

For the past two days all I could do was lie in my bed and cry. My mom didn't understand what was wrong with me but she didn't question it. She probably thinks I'm having another episode. Thankfully she called the school up and told them I was ill.

I watched the sun beginning to set, the darkness was beginning to consume my room, leaving me feeling empty and broken. It's became the only emotion that I knew how to portray.

My room door opened and I didn't even bother to see who entered my room. My bedcovers were pulled back and someone climbed into my bed, pulling me into their arms and hugged me. I turned around and came face to face with my mom. "Hey baby, what's been wrong?" She asked as soothingly as possible.

"Everything is just falling apart mom." I mumbled, she wiped away my tears.

"It'll all be okay Scarlett." She kissed my forehead. My mom always knew how to make me feel better.

"Mom?" I asked. She nodded slightly. "Have you ever had your heart broken?" I finished my question. She looked at me for a minute and then sighed.

"Yes, I have." She sounded so broken just saying that.

"What happened?" I questioned her.

"When I was a junior in high school I fell in love with this guy, he was a senior and he was so cool. He wore leather jackets and really tight jeans, long hair. The works." She gushed, reliving her past. "I pined after him months until I got an invite to a party he was going to. We began dating and it was amazing, a whirlwind of romance. When he graduated from high school and went off to college I still had another year left." She sighed, sadly.

"Then what happened?" I asked her.

"He called me up one day and just broke up with me. His words were 'great year, sad it's over. Bye' and then hung up. I was so crush. I didn't leave my room for a month, grandma was so angry that I wouldn't get myself together." She told me. "The thing is, it felt like it was the end of the word. I felt like I was never going to move on, get over it and live a happy life." She explained to me. "But a year and a half later I met your father at college, we began dating and I fell head over heels in love with him. We got married two years later and then had Ali, that's the beauty of the future. You just don't know what it holds for you." She smiled at me.

Hearing my mom talk about heartbreak like that made me think, maybe this is just a glitch in my timeline. "Thanks mom, I appreciate this so much." I smiled at her, smiling for the first time in two days.

"Now, do you wanna tell me what has happened?" She asked me. I felt my heart sink when I tried to think of the correct words to explain what happened. So I just started at the beginning, explaining pretty much everything but I did leave a few things out, such as the incident in the woods.

"Now I don't know what to do, things are awkward and stupid." I sighed, rubbing my hands over my face.

"It seems like a huge big mess that doesn't need to be there, you need to just ignore Vic. He is the one losing out by treating you this way. He's messing you about and so is Ali. Please don't get too invested in this." She pulled me in for a hug.

"I love you mom." I mumbled.

"I love you too Scarlett." She said softly. "What about Jaime? He seems like a nice guy. Do you think he likes you?" She asked. I leaned back a little and raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know, maybe? I don't think I could be with him though. He's Vic's best friend." I groaned. It's not like Vic respected the fact that Ali is my sister so.

My mom sat up and climbed out of my bed. "I want you to get dressed, go and see one of your friends and try to cheer yourself up. I don't like you being so down in the dumps." She ordered me. "Back to school on Monday." She warned. I huffed at her orders and nodded. She left my room and I groaned loudly. She was never gonna let mope around for more than like 3 days anyway.

I stood in front of Jamie's house. I text Mike and asked him for directions to Jamie's and he was confused that I asked but gave me the address nonetheless. My hand hesitated on the door, ready to knock on it. Just do it Scarlett.

Quickly I knocked on the door before I could back out. After a few minutes a middle aged woman answered the door. "Hi, can I help you?" She asked with a cheery smile on her face.

"Yeah, I'm looking for Jaime." I said softly. She looked at me and nodded.

"He's upstairs in his room, first door on the left." She opened the door and pointed towards the stairs.

"Thank you." I said politely as I walked past her. I slowly walked up the stairs and stood in front of what I presume to be Jaime's room. Suddenly his door opened and he got a huge fright. "Oh my God!" He screamed and jumped back, clutching at his chest.

"Oh shit sorry." I mumbled. He calmed down and we both began laughing. It felt nice to laugh, to feel like my whole soul wasn't breaking.

"Scarlett what are you doing here?" He asked me, confusion all over his face.

"I wanted to do try something." I said softly. He raised an eyebrow.

I stepped forward into his room and stopped in front of him, he looked down at me, waiting for me to say or do something. I stood on the tips of my toes, placed my two hands on his shoulders and leaned in to kiss his lips.

At first Jaime was stiff, unsure of what to do but after a few seconds he came to life. He slammed the door shut and pushed me against it. I felt free, I felt like my worries were dripping away. Jaime deepened the kiss, our tongues danced together, fighting for dominance. It was different from when me and Vic kissed, it was like we were on fire.

Jaime ran his hands down my sides and under my shirt, pulling it over my head. I followed his lead and took his shirt off. Leaving us both standing with no shirt on. He looked at me and smiled, kissing me again then trailing kisses down to my neck, biting softly. He began undoing the buttons on my jeans and the pulled them down, and then done the same to his own. I wanted this, I want to feel alive again.

I pushed him backwards until he fell down onto the bed, pulling me on top of him. We climbed under his covers and I pulled Jaime on top of me. "Scarlett, is this really what you want?" He asked as he hovered above me.

"Yes, Jaime I came here because I want you." I whispered, looking into his eyes. He nodded and kissed me quickly.

Jaime pulled off the remainder of our clothing and we both checked each other out. "Nice." He grinned, looking down at my naked body. I could feel myself blushing.

"Not too bad yourself there." I giggled, feeling completely comfortable.

He stopped smiling and leaned in to kiss me again. This time it was different, like he was trying to be gentle and romantic. He slowly pushed his dick inside of me, I let out a soft moan at the sudden euphoric feeling that was spreading through my body.

It felt amazing, it felt like I was flying. I've had sex before but this time was different from those other times. Maybe it's because I've feel so dull for the past few days that now because I don't feel so broken, it's amazing.

Jaime and me both moved in perfect sync, our hips rocking back and forth rhythmically against each other. Every thrust sent him deeper inside of me, making my hands dig into his back from pleasure. I threw my head back onto the pillow, moaning loudly. Jaime let out a groan as we began moving faster. He quickly kissed me, sending shivers down my spine. I could feel the end in sight, making me excited for the finale.

Suddenly Jaime's bedroom door opened. "Jaime are you ready for the cinema..." I knew that voice anywhere. Jaime stopped and got off me. Vic's face came into view as I pulled the covers over my body. I watched as his face dropped from a smile to devastation. "Sorry, I didn't realise I was interrupting something." Vic mumbled quickly and ran out of Jaime's room.

I looked at Jaime and he looked back at me, an embarrassed look covering his face. "Well that was anti climatic." He groaned, throwing himself down onto the pillow. "I completely forgot that Vic asked me to go to the cinema." He sighed. I looked at him and then sat up.

"Well the moment is ruined so." I shrugged, getting out of his bed and picking up my clothes, putting them on.

"What does this mean?" Jaime asked. I turned to him when I finally got my shirt on.

"I don't know Jaime, I just wanted to see if you wanted me." I said softly.

"I do want you, I want you so much. I'm sick of watching Vic screw you over, time and time again." He said frantically.

I walked over and kissed him quickly. "I'll speak to you later okay." I said softly against his lips then left his house.

I walked pat Vic outside, I ignored him. Like he demanded that I do. Maybe I'm a horrible person for fucking his best friend but he broke my heart.
