I walked into the kitchen to grab some water while Dime stayed with the boys,
“God, how stupid can boys be!” I asked myself as I filled my cup with water,
“We can be pretty stupid, but not stupid enough to not catch a lie,” a voice came from behind me, and I turned to see Drew standing in the doorway watching me,
“What lie?” I asked
“When I delivered your pizza, you said you lived here with your parents, but I don’t see how you and Dime are related, and I don’t see any sign of anyone but the two of you living here,” Drew answered as he made his way over to me.
“What makes you think I lied?” I asked Drew
After our breakfast, Dime and I wanted to go to the bookstore to buy some books for our apartment,“Ready Dime?” I shouted as I grabbed my keys,“Coming!” Dime shouted back as she came stumbling down the stairs, Dime wore an emerald green bralette with black leggings and emerald green sneaker heels,“Looking hot there babes,” I said as I opened the door“You too,” Dime said as she looked at my outfit, I was wearing a silver bralette with a black fishnet shirt over the bralette with black jeans and silver sneakers. I drove Dime and me over to the closest Barnes and Noble,“Books, books, books,” Dime sang as we parked
Dime and I spent the rest of the day reading and watching our shows to keep our minds off of our problems,"Saph?" Dime called out from her spot on the couch"Yes?" I called back putting my book down,"Can you get me some food?" Dime asked as she smiled at me, knowing I would be upset to put down my book,"Really?" I asked her"Please, I'm hungry and too lazy to go get some food," Dime whined"Fine, what do you want?" I asked as I set my book down on my chair"Ramen!" Dime shouted"You're a jerk!" I shouted back, upset she made me agree to making her food at a good part in my book. I made Dime's ramen, making sure there was enough for me as well, before walking back into the living room to grab my book and Dime,"Food," I told Dime as I shoved her off the couch"Jerk!" Dime shouted as she jumped up onto her feet as I laughed"You deserved it," I laughed as I walked
I woke up to voices arguing and crying,"What the hell happened?" a voice yelled"There was an attack from the gang," another voice answered"Shit!" a voice yelled as the crying voice got louder as if it was right next to me. I opened my eyes to see Dime crying next to me"Di..." I started to say, but Dime stopped me before I could give away our secret,"Moony, you are awake," Dime cried as she hugged me"Do you remember what happened?" Dime asked"I remember taking the trash out and then being attacked. After I was attacked, I started fighting back, and then Drew came in and helped me out," I explained as Dime listened"Do you remember passing out?" a voice asked, I looked over to the voice and saw Drew and the other boys looking at me,"Yeah, I remember passing out," I answered as I looked over to Dime."Where are we?" I asked sitting up in the bed I was layi
Drew and Tom sat at the table waiting for Dime's pancakes to be done,"You knew, didn't you?" I whispered to Dime as I stood next to her,"No," Dime replied not looking at me, which meant she knew,"Unbelievable," I growled as I headed back for my chair in the living room. The boys kept their heads down as I passed knowing I was upset with them,"Moony," Drew called out as he looked up"What?" I snapped back as I stopped walking to my chair"Uh, well, why are you upset with us?" Drew asked, trying not to make eye contact with me,"I'm upset because you guys don't think a lock on a door is safe, and you don't think Dime and I can take care of ourselves!" I shouted and turned away"Moony, it's not that we don't think that it's just, well, those guys are really strong and they don't give up," Drew explained as he followed me to the living room"Whatever," I growled out as I sa
I stared at Drew believing his confession was a part of a dream or another reality,"What did you say?" I asked just wanting to be sure that I heard him correctly,"I like you," Drew said again, but this time his smile was not so happy,"You like who?" I asked again in disbelief,"Moony, I like you," Drew said as his face started falling,"Why?" I asked, getting off of my bed and standing near my desk,"Why? Well, I like you because you stand up for your friends and beliefs, you don't go down without a fight, you're beautiful, and so many other things," Drew raddled off as a smile grew on his face. I stared at him in shock, how could this boy fall for the girl he hurt for years, how could this boy fall for after product of who I am; I stared at Drew before laughing"You like me?" I asked laughing"Yes?" Drew responded questioningly"Oh, now that's a joke for the books," I said wh
Drew pushed me up against the wall by my door,"What do you want?" I asked getting annoyed with his aggressiveness,"Why?" Drew asked as he looked at me with a pained look on his face"Why, what?" I asked looking confused"Why can't you admit you're in love with me?" Drew asked as he traced the shape of my face with his hand. My body filled with anger and embarrassment and I slapped Drew,"How dare you!" I shouted as I grabbed my clothes and headed for the shower; I slammed the bathroom door in anger,"How dare he!" I shouted in my head as I turned the shower on and stripped,"How dare he assume I'm in love with him. I'm not in love with him, he is a horrible human being who happens to be attractive and a really good kisser," I mumbled to myself as I hopped into the shower. My stress and worries flowed down the drain along with the warm water that was healing my body from past injuries and stress,&n
"Get up!" a voice yelled as I opened my eyes to see Brock, Grant, Nate, Tom, and Drew standing in front of me,"What's up?" I asked as I moved to stand up"I said get up!" Grant yelled as he grabbed my arm and yanked me off the floor,"Ow, what the hell?!" I shouted as I tried to get out of his grip"Don't speak to me like that you pathetic human!" Grant shouted in my face as he threw me to the ground and the others started to kick me. I coughed up blood as the boys stopped their kicking,"Why are you doing this?" I groaned as I looked up at them"Why? We are doing this because you decided to ruin our family image to chase after a dream," Brock growled out in disgust as he spits on my face,"I'm not doing anything to hurt this family's image!" I screamed as I moved to get up,"Don't move," Nate growls as he knocks me back down and I groaned in pain. The boys laughed as they watched me struggling to get u
Dime held me as I continued to cry,"You doing better?" Dime asked as my cried became quite"Yeah," I responded as I lifted my head and wiped my eyes"You want to stay in here a little longer while I go check on the boys?" Dime asked as she wiped my cheeks, I nodded, not wanting to see Drew and Tom at the moment,"Ok, you lay in your bed and I'll go check on them before coming back for you," Dime said as she helped me to the bed"Thanks, Dime," I whispered as I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I opened my eyes to see the sun shining through my window,"How long have I been out?" I asked myself as I got out of my bed and moved to the window,"Wow, the sun looks like it's been up for a while," I said to myself as I smiled, welcoming the sun rays on my face and skin."Morning sleeping beauty," a voice came from behind me, I turned to see Drew standing in my doorway,"Morn
7 years later "Dime, Saph!" Trish yelled from my room, "Coming!" Dime and I yelled back together as we ran to Trish. Trish laughed as Dime and I stumbled into my room, "These boxes are ready to go," Trish said as she suppressed her laughter, Dime and I nodded as we picked up the boxes Trish pointed to. "Are we actually moving out?" Dime asked as she set the two boxes she was carrying in the bed of the truck, "We are," I said to Dime, knowing she was just amazed by the fact that we were leaving our safe spot, "Come on girls there are more boxes up here!" Dave yelled from the stairs, "We are coming!" I yelled up to him. "Honestly, it's more surprising that we are moving into new houses without each other," I said to Dime as we climbed the stairs, "Well, we tried convening them to let the four of us move into one house, but those two are too stubborn," Dime grumbled a
Drew and Tom were standing in front of our door, "What do you want?" I asked them, getting really annoyed with their antics, "We just want to talk," Tom said as he looked to Dime, "Fine," Dime said as she grabbed Tom and walked to her room. "Can we talk as well?" Drew asks before I can go after Dime and Tom, "Fine, but you have to come to my room. I have to finish packing," I said as I walked away from him, "Sounds good to me," Drew said as he shut the door and jogged after me. We walked past Dime's room to see the door closed "Tch," I clicked my tongue as we passed by; she obviously didn't want me to hear what was being said. Drew entered the room behind me and closed my door, "Why did you close my door?" I asked as I snapped my head around to look at him, "So we can talk without interrupting Dime and Tom, and so you can't try to get rid of me," Drew said as he sm
Dime and I pulled into the apartment parking lot and waited for Dave and Trish. "How are you doing?" Dime asked me, "I'm fine," I answered as I kept an eye out for Dave and Trish, "Are you sure?" Dime asked as she looked at me with worried eyes, "Yes, I'm sure. Dime, even though we went through a lot today, we made big decisions and made it through the day even though there were a ton of obstacles," I answered as I smiled at her; Dime smiled back as Dave and Trish parked next to us, "Shall we?" I asked Dime, "We shall," Dime replied as she got out of the truck. Trish was in the kitchen cooking dinner, she kicked us out, yelling about how w
Trish and Dave grabbed Dime and me as they headed for the parking lot, "Meet you at the apartments?" Dave asked as we stopped in front of my truck, "Sounds good to me," Dime responded as she nodded in agreement, Dime was so ready to get off of the school grounds and go home, and I didn't blame her, "Yes please," I responded; Dave and Trish nodded before saying goodbye and walked to the car they came in. "Let's go, now," Dime said as she opened the passenger door to the truck, "I agree before anything else happens, let's get out of here," I agreed and went to open the driver's door when I was stopped by a hand grabbing the door handle. "We need to talk, Saph," a voice echoed in my ears as the person spoke from behind me, "Great, here we go again," I whispered to myself as I turned around to see the boys standing by my truck looking at Dime and me, Drew was the one who was stopping me fro
"Now without further ado, I hereby announce that this class has graduated!" Mr. Ben shouted with a huge proud smile on his face, then we, students, threw our caps into the air and shouted with happiness. I laughed as I watched my classmates hug one another, I watched as some even cried as they caught their falling caps, and I watched as many laughed and ran to their families in happiness; I looked to Dime and smiled, "Shall we go see 'our parents'," I asked as I nodded to the crowd leaving the bleachers, "We shall," Dime smiled, happy we actually had people to celebrate our graduation with. Dime and I ran towards the bleachers to see Dave and Trish, "Congra..." my mother started to say as she opened her arms for me to run to her and hug her, but I ran past her to Dave and Trish, "Dime!" Dime's mother shouted as she came running to us but we ignored her and ran into Dave and Trish's arms, "Congrats girls!" Dave and Trish
I walked up to my seat noticing my brothers were watching me as I walked up, "What do you want?" I asked as I sat down in my seat, "We just wanted to apologize and ask what your plans are after graduation," Brock said as I sat next to Grant, "I'm not listening to this right now, and I'm not telling you my plans for after graduation," I replied looking forward to the stage, where the teachers and principal were getting ready for the graduation. "Saph, please, we really are just trying to apologize for our past actions," Grant said as he turned to look at me, "I don't care right now I want to get graduation over with and get away from the two of you as fast as possible," I snarled out as I glared at my brothers, who looked away from my glare. "Saph," a voice called out from behind me, I turned to look who was calling my name and shook my head in frustration, "Enough, go away. The ceremony
Tom and Drew walked up to Dime and me with smiles on their faces, "Ready for graduation?" Tom asked as he checked out Dime, his eyes traveling down her body to take in her outfit and how hot she looked, "Oh trust me, we are so ready for graduation," I responded stepping in front of Dime to get Tom's eyes off of her, "Why do you say it like you're about to run away from here?" Drew asked as he checked me out, "Because we are, we are going to a college far from here," I admitted before realizing my mistake, "Ok, get out of our way so we can graduate and get out of here," I said as I grabbed Dime's arm and pulled her away from the boys. "Wait up!" Drew called after us and joined Dime and me as we walked towards the football field, "What do you want now?" I growled out as Tom stepped next to Dime and gave her a small smile, "We are just trying to have a conversation with you two and
Dime and I woke up feeling excited and refreshed, "Ready for Graduation?" Dime shouted from her room as she got out of bed, "Totally, you?" I shouted back as I entered the bathroom before Dime, "Totally, I'm ready to get out of here," Dime admitted as she threw open the door to the bathroom and joined me in it as I brushed my teeth, "However, I'm not ready to face the boys again as well as our entire school," Dime said as she stepped into the shower, "I agree, it's going to be horrible in that sense," I nodded as I washed my face at the sink, "Do you think our parents will show up?" Dime asked as she peeked her head from behind the bathroom curtain, "I'm not sure, I hope they don't," I answered before walking out of the bathroom and back to my room. I shoved on a white crop top before pulling up some red dress pants "Wait, won't your parents be there because of your brothe
Trish and the officer followed Dime and me into our apartment, "Goodness, your parents really did make a mess in your place," Trish said as she looked at the mess around her, "Yeah, sorry, it's usually cleaner than this," I said sheepishly as I rubbed the back of my neck in embarrassment, Trish shook her head and turned to look at me "Oh honey, I believe you. I can't believe your parents would do this," Trish said as she looked at Dime and me apologetically, "How about I start making some food and you guys can talk," Dime offered as she pointed towards the destroyed TV room, "Sounds good to me," Trish and the officer said as they headed towards the room and started picking stuff up. Trish and the officer helped clean up our apartment as they listened to me explain more about my past and listening to what had been happening in the past few months, "Wow, I can't believe that all happened," Trish said as she handed
