I try to open my eyes but instantly get a headache making me groan in pain and displeasure
"Have you learned your lesson about drinking more than you can handle?" Easton teases me as he walks out of his bathroom in nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips
I sit up and go to tell him to shut up but it gets caught in my throat as I look at his face and see a relieved face but I also see some sadness
He walks up beside his bed then squats down and hands me an aspirin and a cup of water, I obviously take it because I want to get rid of this god forsaken headache
I place the glass back down on the nightstand as he gets up and walks into his closet to which I assume get dressed
"I think I should go" I say as I start to pull the comforter off of my body and stand up, he turns around and looks at me from inside the closet then smirks and turns away as he picks up a shirt
"You can keep the hoodie if you want" he says
I look down to see that I am indeed in a black hoodie that reaches mid-thigh since it's so oversized on me
"Uh thanks" I say as I walk towards his door, out of his room, down the hall and towards Stella's room
As I walk into her room I see her laying in bed and scrolling through I*******m, she looks over to see who entered her room but pursues her lips when she sees the hoodie
"How drunk did you get?" She asks as she continues to eye the hoodie
"I could barely make it up the stairs" I say as I walk towards her bed then lift the covers and lay down beside her
"Awe, you poor baby" she teases me as I rub my head in pain from all the light entering her room from her window
"Why must you and your brother tease me about my bad choices this early in the morning?" I ask as I look at her, the question caused her to smirk
"One because it's funny that you can't hold your alcohol and two it's 1pm Amelia" she says as her voice starts off jokingly to suddenly being very serious
I immediately sit up and run towards her closet to look for a pair of shorts "my mom is gonna kill me" I say as I pull up a random pair of denim shorts she had folded in her drawer
"Let Easton drive you home. He feels really bad about letting you go out last night" she says with a pleading tone and stare as I pull on a pair of white converse and tie the laces
"Okay. I'll wash your clothes and give them back tomorrow when I come over" I say as I stand up and stretch my back since I was bent over tieing my shoes for 3 minutes
"Okay, love you and see you soon" she says as she goes back to her scrolling causing me to smile at her
"Love you, bye" I say as I walk out of her room and close the door then head towards Easton's room
I knock before entering, only to see him at his desk writing down words on a subject I had no interest in finding out
"Can you take me home?" I ask him as I sit on the corner of his, now made, bed
"Of course, just give me a second" he says as he writes down a couple more words then closes his textbook and places the notebook on top
"Let's go" he says as he stands up and grabs his keys then holds his hand out for me to grab which I do but I end up tripping on the rug
Luckily he caught me before I ended up with rug burn on my face, as he brings me up I look into his eyes and gasp as I see them dilate as soon as they meet mine
"I uh- thanks" I say as I continue to stare into his eyes like they're the last thing I'll ever see
He moves one hand up to rest against my cheek, all the while never looking away from my eyes
"You're um- welcome" he also says seeming to be at a loss from words.
Glad to know I'm not the only one.
A phone ringing brings us out of our moment causing us to look away awkwardly
I pull out my phone from the pocket of the shorts to see that Emma wants to call me
Seriously? This girl picks the worst times ever.
I place the phone to my ear and walk into the corner of Easton's room as I take the call
"Hey Emma" I say trying to sound like I wasn't disappointed in her calling me
"Come to my house in an hour. We're having a sleepover. Invite your friend if you want to" she says way too excited
Easton comes up behind me and places his arms around my waist while his head rests in the crook of my neck causing my breathing to become irregular
"Y-you mean S-stella?" I ask stuttering as he starts to kiss my neck and my knees start to feel weak
"Yeah, the one with the black hair," she says like she's trying to dismiss the topic
"Anyway, bring night clothes and a dress with you" she says getting excited again
"Yeah I- ahh" I start to reply to her but get cut off with a moan as Easton smirks against the spot on my neck he just kissed
He starts nibbling on the spot causing my knees to become weaker as I reach my hand back and tangle it in his raven hair
"Can I call you back?" I ask Emma breathlessly as he starts to alternate between sucking the spot and nibbling on it
"No need, just be here in an hour" she says hurrily sounding embarrassed to be witnessing the sounds I'm making
"Okay" I say before hanging up and letting out a bunch of mumbled curses and low moans.
He licks the spot one more time before turning me around to face him and leaning me against the wall, our faces inches apart
"Now we're even" he says smirking causing me to be confused
"For what?" I asked
He leans his head back and to the left so that his neck is visible to me, I look down to see a giant purple hickey on his neck causing me to gasp quietly
I reach out and touch it causing him to wince slightly which instantly makes me feel bad
"Did I do that?" I ask him with my still breathless voice, he turns to me and nods his head
"Do you want the story?" He asks as he sees my confusing gaze
"Yes, please" I say as he leads us towards his bed to sit down and talk
"Your taking me to bed already? At least take me on a date first" I jokingly slurred as Easton tucked me into his bed in nothing but one of his hoodiesHe rolled his eyes before turning away and taking off his hoodie, giving me a good look at his flexing back muscle"Damn daddy, you're sexy as f-""If you finish that sentence, I won't hesitate to lock you in the guest room" he says giving me a warning glare that says not to test him"Fine, I'll just drool over you in silence" I say as I start to giggle uncontrollably"Please don't EVER get drunk again" he says as he rolls his eyes but I can see the slight smile on the corner of his mouth"Why?" I can't help but ask"Because you're flirting with me more than normal" he says as he slips on a pair of basketball shorts then slips into the bed next to me"Don't flatter yourself. You flirt with me" I say as I climb on top of him and sit on his lower stomach section causing his breath to hitch making me laughI lean in and start to place slo
My room pretty much resembles those popular girls in movies, where it's pink and they have baby pictures, crowns, sashes, metals, etc.I used to do pageants when I was a kid before I decided I wanted to be a cheerleader, so I did 2 years of gymnastics before we moved so now here we are.I found my pink duffel bag and packed a pair of night clothes and and outfit for tomorrow before I walked into the living room to grab my car keys and drove to Stella's houseI leave my duffel in the backseat then go up and knock on her front door only to be met by Easton"What are you doing here, I just dropped you off. Couldn't resist me?" He says as he leans against the doorframe, I roll my eyes at his cockiness since it's too early for it"I came to get Stella, we're going to a sleepover" I say as I cross my arms and shift my weight to the opposite leg, he suddenly stands up straight and gives me a questionable stare"She's not here. She left with another girl as soon as I got back" he says in a mo
I walk into the school and get immediately crowded by the cheer team"Stella is waiting for you in the gym" Emma says as she links our arms and walks me thereAs we enter the gym I see Stella standing in the middle so I head towards her"So, how are you going to convince me that you're not taking drugs?" I asks as I cross my arms and stand in front of her"Emily, can you explain to her why I came to you for drugs?" Stella asks as she crosses her arms and glares at meI hear Emily walk out of the huddle of cheerleaders behind me and stop beside me"She came to my house last week and asked for some weed, but I was thinking of her position on the squad so I said no. I went to close the door but she stopped it with her foot and threatened me" she says as her voice gets shaky like she's going to cry"She said if I didn't get her any weed she'd drop me during practice for the pep rally. I didn't want to be the cause of us having to learn a whole new routine for the pep rally, so I asked my
It's Wednesday and as much as I hate to say this... I was wrong. I knew Stella never took drugs, but it took me by such a shock that I just believed that she actually took them. I should've listened to her. She's never gave me any reason not to trust her.So here I am. Two hours before the pep rally, driving to Stella's house to apologize for my mistakes.I pull up outside of her house and see her car in the driveway. I get out of my car and adjust my cheer uniform, so I look put together."Here goes nothing" I say as I walk onto her front porch and knock on the front door."Why are you here?" I hear Easton say as he opens the door, I take a deep breath and release it"I came to apologize to you and Stella. I've been a bitch lately" I say as I laugh humorlessly "I honestly don't blame you for how you reacted when I told you about the drugs" I say as I give him a small smile.He stares at me for a long couple of seconds before the corner of his lip turns upwards and he pulls me in for
"We're going to go shower and head to Jake's party later tonight," Emma says as she turns towards me with an accusing stare"If we get pranked again, you're kicked off the squad" she says"Why? She's the best thing that's happened to it in three years" I hear Easton say from behind causing Emma to straighten up and curl a smelly yellow strand of her hair around her finger"Of course She is, I was just joking. Duh" she says while giggling and putting all her attention on himHe turns to me and smiles, but immediately frowns when he sees my scared expression"Are you okay?" He asks as he goes to put his hand on my shoulder, but I flinch away causing Stella to step in"Don't worry Easton, I'll take care of her" she says as she grabs my arm and walks me away from them and towards my car"Are you okay?" She asks causing me to cry again"No" I say as I wipe my tears and hand her my keys so she can drive"What's wrong?" She asks as she hugs me"I broke your brother's heart, I got you kicked
I've been sitting on a swing for the past couple of minutes while Easton paces back and forth in front of me."I'm so sorry, I never meant for any of this to happen" I say as I look down at my hands with an embarrassed expression "I got pushed onto you and it happened. I would never take advantage of you" I say but I get pulled up by him as he brings us into a hug."I never meant to break your heart" I say as I hug him back before pulling away."You never broke my heart, Amelia" he says causing me to give him a confused expression"Then why did you tell me I did?" I ask"I wanted to see if you really did care about me" he says"By saying that I broke your heart?" I ask in confusion, disbelief, and maybe a little bit of anger"Yeah, I didn't think that through" he says as he scratches behind his neck with a guilty expression on his face.I punch his bicep and cross my arms.I've been worried because of nothing thanks to this jerk.I walk away from him and down the side walk as he rushe
Surprisingly I had a great day at school.Stella and I talked to each other all day and got caught up with everything that was happening in each other's lives.Emma was no where to be seen, but the cheerleaders that did show up had rashes.I just assumed that they got them from the prank at last night's pep rally since I don't have any rashes.Easton walked me to my classes even when I told him not to so we wouldn't risk him being late to class.He told me to be ready by five for our date before he drove home from school.As soon as I arrived at home I showered then changed into a flowy white dress that stops before my knees and a pair of sandals.I loosely put my hair in a side braid with pieces of my baby hair falling out to frame my face.As soon as I grabbed my phone I hear a knock on the door. I open the door and see Easton standing at the door in khaki shorts, a white unbuttoned collared shirt and flip flops"Are you ready?" He asks me with a smile which instantly makes me mirro
He chuckles before gently grabbing my face and looking into my eyes and asks the million dollar question that causes me to gasp in surprise and shock."Will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"-Shocked.Surprised.Excited.Scared.Speechless.The words kept ringing in my head as I looked at his hopeful and nervous facial expression. His voice broke me out of my mini panic attack."You know what, I'm sorry for asking you such a dumb-" he starts to say before I shut him up by standing on my tip toes and gently pressing my lips to hisHe's shocked for a couple of seconds, but when he recovers he kisses me back passionately which causes me to let out a small gasp at the action.He drops his arms and places them around my lower back as he pulls me a little closerWhen we part from the kiss we're both panting heavily but quietly. I look up at him and see that his magical eyes are full of bliss and that his pupils are dilated as he looks into my eyes. I move my eyes down to his lip
