Bitter sweet by our design
Valentine
I woke up the next morning still wrapped up in Zack's arms. It almost felt like he had a death grip on me. I removed his arms, despite how comfy I was, and walked to the door of my room. I opened it ever so quietly and slipped out. I went down stairs and fluffed my hair in my hands. My head was killing me. I definitely drank too much. I walked into my kitchen and pulled a bottle of Advil out of the cabinet. I turned around and Rian was sitting at the breakfast bar.
"Shit Balls!" I said and dropped the bottle, the noise made the both of us wince. I leaned down and picked up the bottle. "Can I have some of those?" He asked. "Yeah sure." I took some out and handed them to him. I turned to the fridge and pulled out two water bottles. I handed him one and took the pills I got out for myself. I set the bottle on the counter and turned to Rian. "Breakfast?"
He nodded and I turned to my fridge. I pulled out some bacon, eggs, and some bread from the bread drawer. I turned to Rian. "Seeing as you and I are the only ones up, how does French toast, bacon and eggs sound?" I leaned across the counter on my elbows awaiting his answer. "That sounds fantastic." He said rubbing his eyes. "Cool." I said and stood back up. I pulled out a pan for the bacon.
I set it on the burner and started it. I looked at the clock, almost 11. I plugged up my phone and started to play music. "Now I'm back out on the open road as this point of difference seems to fade away, Now I'm back out on the open road It's not the place we used to know." I sang along to The City Shake Up's EP. "Who is this?" Rian asked, he was watching me cook. "The city shake up. They're Australian. I met them at warped last year, they just had this persona on stage I liked." I was almost done with the bacon and I pulled two more pans out for the french toast and the eggs.
I started the french toast and heard two more voices. "Good morning." I said and turned to Matt and Vinny. "Do you always cook in your underwear?" Vinny asked. I looked down. "Yeah, When I'm home I rarely wear pants... is it bothering you... I can go put some on-" "No!" Matt and Vinny said at the same time. I laughed and continued my cooking. I finished the french toast and was almost done with the eggs when I heard someone come down stairs.
"Morning." Jack said. Alex was behind him. "Morning." I said back. I put the plates on the bar and set the bowls on the trivets. "Will someone go wake up Zack and tell him breakfast is ready? I'm gonna wash the dishes." I said pushing my sleeves up. "Where is he?" Matt asked. "Up the stairs and to the right, it's my bedroom." I said starting to wash dishes. Alex came up behind me and rested his head on my shoulder.
"Hello, sleep good?" "Yeah, I wish I could have laid with you though." He said softly into my ear. I turned to him and then back to my dishes. I moved away fro him to put the dishes away. I reached one it a cabinet. "You know, I find it weird that you don't care that we can see your underwear." Jack said pointing to me with his fork. "I just don't care, It's not like I'm showin off my boobs or anything." I said. I heard someone come down stairs and round the corner.
"Morning, sleepy head." I said to Zack handing him a plate of food. "Thanks..." He said rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "Sorry about cuddling with you..." He trailed off. I saw Alex nearly choke on an egg. "It's fine, when I drink I get extremely cold anyways it helped, so really I'm thanking you." He blushed and sat down at the breakfast bar. Everyone was eating and being quiet, I made my own plate.
"How is it?" I asked and took a bite of french toast. "It's official, I'm moving in!" Jack said stuffing his mouth. I laughed. "You can stay as long as you want, at least now the extra rooms get used." "Yeah, why so many rooms? You live here all by yourself." Jack asked. "Well, I didn't design the house by myself and he left me before it was finished so when it was done, I didn't just want to leave so I decided to stay. Then my sister came and stayed for a while."
"You have a sister?" Matt asked. "I mean I used to..." I trailed off. They took that as a touchy subject and stopped the conversation. We finished and one by one the plates went into the dish washer. "Alright, I'm gonna go put on some clothes. I'll be back." I said and walked up my steps. "Feel free to do whatever!" I yelled closing my door. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out some clothes for today.
I pulled my Jack Daniels tee on and some shorts. I put socks on along with my converse. I liked to have shoes on when I was dressed, but other than that no shoes. I put on some of my bracelets and changed my piercings. I walked down my steps. "Alright, I have three showers. If you wanna take one you're more than welcome, but I will say the one in my room is heaven on earth." Jack jumped up. "Me first!" He ran past me and up the steps.
"Towels in my closet!" I yelled. "Okey Dokey!" He yelled back. I laughed and walked into the living room. All the seats were taken so I sat on Matt's lap. "Well then." He said. "I figured, we're friends now so." I said shrugging my shoulders. "I like your shirt." Rian said. "Why thank you, I got it on my 21 birthday."
" Tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie it, To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me, This ain't a noose, this is a leash, And I have news for you, you must obey me."" I jumped off Matt's lap and walked to the kitchen, pulling my phone off the doc.
Me: Hello.
Valentine: Hey babe. I'm gonna be in town and would like to come by your place and hang out.
Me: No way! You're not stepping foot in this house ever again! Plus why would I want to see you?! *I could tell the guys were staring and listening to me on the phone, cause I was yelling*
Valentine: Babe, don't be like that plus as much as you don't want to admit it, that house is mine too.
Me: No, and that's my final answer! Please do not call again, you make this so much harder!
I hung up the phone and jammed it into my pocket. I wiped my face with my hands aggravated. "You alright?" Alex asked, walking into the kitchen. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I just... he makes me so mad!" I said balling up my fists. Alex was about to say something when a car horn was heard outside. My eyes shot open and I ran to my front door. I pulled it open and shut it behind me. I ran out into the middle of my front lawn.
"Darling! I'm home!" Valentine yelled. "Go away! You're not even getting close to me!" I yelled as he stepped out of his convertible. "Awwe, don't be that way, babe." He stepped closer to me and I just kept my posture, tightening my jaw. "I take it you haven't forgiven me." He said putting a pout on his lips, but hiding a smirk. "Forgive you?! Ha! You fucking broke me and you expected me to come back?!"
"Eventually, yes. And besides I missed you, you're always gonna be my mi amor." He said pulling me into his chest, taking one of my hands in his. I tried to fight. "Oh just let it happen darling. You know me I get what I want." He gave me a smirk. God, I hated his beautiful face, those grey eyes killed me every time and made my knees weak. I tried to push away but he pulled me back.
"Come on! Let's go for a ride!" He said and flipped me over his shoulder. I squealed. "Valentine! You put me down right now! I will not go with you!" "Oh but you will!" He said throwing me into his car. He held my wrist and got into the car. I heard my door swing open. "Paige!" I heard Alex yell. "Alex!" I yelled back. He started to run towards the car but Valentine started it and pulled off. "Bye!" Valentine yelled.
I pulled my wrist from his hand. "I wont run, I remember what you did last time." I said leaning against the side of the car. "All the small things True care truth brings I'll take one lift Your ride best trip Always I know You'll be at my show Watching, waiting, commiserating." My phone sang. I pulled it out of my pocket and Valentine pulled it out of my hand. "Hello." "We're bonding. Isn't that right, sweet heart?" I rolled my eyes and leaned against the side again.
"Nope, I can't do that. Not right now, not while you are there. I need my alone time with my princess and I know she needs mine too, and I just can't do that while you are there. Bye, Alex." He hung up and handed me the phone. "Ignore his calls." He told me. I nodded. He pulled out some sunglasses and put them on his face and then handed me another pair. I slid them on my face. "So, where are we going?" I asked in a monotone voice.
"Oh please, do sound a little excited. I'm taking you to your favorite restaurant." I smiled really big and sarcastically then along the side I went again. "Alright here we are." He said and turned off his car. We got out and walked up to the entrance. "Two please." He said to the Hostess. She nodded and brought us to the table. We sat down and he ordered us both Orange chicken and one with Lo Mein and the other rice. I hated it how he remembered what I liked.
I ate and didn't talk. "So, how has your life been with out me in it? And who is this Alex?" He asked eating a piece of chicken. "Fine, and he's a friend I've been hanging out with recently." "So what like a boyfriend?" I could tell the kind of question. His sweet tone covered the real one behind, anger. "No, I haven't dated anyone. He's just a friend." I said giving him a smile, fake and big. "Stop with the fake smiles, I know you're enjoying having me back, you love me."
"Used to! I don't love you anymore! And that's all your fault. Not only did you cheat on me but you fucking abused me, mentally and physically." "Stop lying!" He raised his voice, I knew better than to press any further. I stopped eating and we stood up, he paid and we got back into his car. "You better hope your friends left." He said with a voice that told me angry sex, that I wasn't gonna enjoy was about to ensue. I stayed quiet and we pulled up to my house all the cars gone.
We walked up to my house and I opened the door. He pushed me up against the wall and kissed me rough. I didn't kiss back but that didn't stop him. His hand reached up my shirt tangling around my neck as he tried to pull it off, he got it off and he yanked me up onto his body. I straddled his hip and he flopped me in the couch. "Can we just not do this?" I begged. "Oh, but I want to and you know me, I always get what I want." He whispered against my neck, breathing hot air.
I shivered knowing what's coming next. I really didn't want to do this. And what happened to Alex and the guys?
"Shit Balls!" I said and dropped the bottle, the noise made the both of us wince. I leaned down and picked up the bottle. "Can I have some of those?" He asked. "Yeah sure." I took some out and handed them to him. I turned to the fridge and pulled out two water bottles. I handed him one and took the pills I got out for myself.
