Grown Up! [/color][/size] S H E J U S T T U R N E D S I X T E E N[/color][/size] LOST IN THE MOMENT, DEAD AT THE SCENE[/color][/size] ____________________________________________[/color][/size][/center] [/color] , this was insanity. She spun around the room, holding true to the delight that was plastered all over her face. Everywhere she turned there were a dozen more people, most of which she did not recognize. And they were all there to celebrate her. This entire party had been the result of the her persistant whining about wanting a "Cool" party this year. Her parents had finally given in and told her that they would leave the house to her under the conditions that she would clean up before they returned the next day and that she would let Logan supervise. Considering she was now looking at him making out with some blonde on the couch, there was not much supervising being done. She quickly averted her eyes and began the search for Skylar, who was always disappearing in these kind of parties due to her amiable disposition. She opened the double doors to the kitchen and sighed heavily, having located Sky in less than half a second. She had also located Gabe who stood behind Skylar, kissing her neck and digging his hand down the front of her dark blue skinny jeans. "I'm.. Uh.. I'll just go find Adam.." Stacy muttered, blushing slightly as she stepped back into the hallway, nearly knocking over some guy that was walking past. She quickly apologized and rushed into the living room, scanning the entire area for her boyfriend, who did not appear to be around at all. Suddenly feeling alone at her own party, she sat on the coffee table and glanced nervously around. The party had started only half an hour ago and underage drinkers were already stumbling around, slurring their words and laughing at everything that was said. There was music coming from beneath her, in the basement, though she could hardly hear it over the sound of voices. She decided to venture down the stairs and into the basement in order to hear the song better and also to find an actual friend to talk to. The lead singer of the band was Natalie's brother and Skylar's best friend and yet she had never actually seen or met him. His name was Jack, that's all she really knew. At first glance, Stacy found him attractive but as she looked on him longer and longer she began to find him hot. She would never admit that to anyone though, due to her obsession of keeping her private thoughts private. Still, she smiled brightly and leaned against a wall that was a few feet away from where the guys were playing. The song ended on the words "Sleep alone" and only a couple of seconds after the last strum of the guitar ended, a tall figure approached her. "You're Stacy, right?" he asked her, offering a wide smile and brushing his dark hair behind his ears, exposing his sparkling green eyes. "What? Oh.. Yeah.." Stacy said awkwardly, stepping aside from the wall. "Mike Carden," he told her simply, "Cool party." "Really?" Stacy asked, giggling a little. Mike nodded and said, "Yeah... It is. So Skylar tells me you're interested in the guitar?" "Oh..." Stacy said, nodding a little, "Yeah kind of... I mean I don't really play... But I wish I did... I love music... And guitars... And stuff." "It's never too late," Mike told her, laughing a little, "I'll help you learn sometime." He looked behind him as someone called his name. Turning back to Stace, he started backing away and said, "Well I've gotta get back. If I don't see you later, ask Sky for my number. We can hang out sometime..."
[/blockquote][/center] Hey You! [/color][/size] W H O A R E Y O U K I D D I N G ?[/color][/size] I'M NOT LIKE THEM, I WON'T BUY IN[/color][/size] ____________________________________________[/color][/size][/center] [/color] . Out of no where the thought popped into his mind, causing him to stop in his tracks and causing Skylar, who was right behind him, to nearly knock him down the stairs. He hadn't received one since sophomore year and it was that realization that caused him so much shock. He hurried down the remaining stairs and watched as the band hurriedly set up in the closest corner which was illuminated by white christmas lights. The rest of the basement was dark though Jack could barely make out the shapes of a long table set up with beverages, two couches, and a large plasma screen TV. He turned slightly to see Skylar doing a series of cartwheels, looking somewhat pleased with herself as she landed the final one. "What's up?" she asked simply as she caught him looking at her. "Oh... Uh nothing..." Jack said, quickly changing his gaze the microphone he held in his right hand. His dad had given it to him for Christmas almost two years ago and etched in it was the word "Breathe", though Jack could never understand why. It seemed likely that his dad had been drunk when he bought it. "That's a lie and we both know it..." She told him as she walked closer, "I've known you long enough to be able to tell when something's bothering you. So tell me what's up." With a nervous laugh, he shook his head and said, "I swear... It's nothing." "That means it's a few things," Skylar pointed out, leaning against the wall next to him, "Why are you so scared to tell me? It's not like I'm going to judge you or anything for it. Seriously..." "Alright..." He sighed, sliding down the wall into a sitting position which she then imitated. He stared down at his lap for a minute before he asked, "How often do you... Umm... Suck?" With a burst of laughter, Skylar leaned forward, putting her face in her hands. She turned to him and grabbed his wrist, saying, "I'm sorry... I... I'm sorry... I just didn't see that coming... Hah... Ummm... Sort of frequently. Why?" "It's been two years since a girl last did that for me..." Jack told her, laughing awkwardly and leaning his head back against the wall, letting his bangs fall over his closed eyes, "It's terrible... " "And do you want me to fix that?" She asked him jokingly, leaning back and resting her head on his shoulder, "You're married now, you can't possibly tell me that you're not enjoying the actual sex that you're getting..." "That's the problem," he muttered, crossing his arms and sighing, "It's great... Too great. I'm not getting it frequently enough. It's like torture. We're newlyweds, we're supposed to be fucking every day." "She's also pregnant..." Skylar pointed out, shrugging slightly, "Relax, Sweetie... It's going to be okay." Jack shook his head and said quietly, "I don't want a baby... Not yet. I just want my wife... I just want to be with her without having to worry about the kid every other second. I'm not ready to be a dad." "You'll be great... I promise..." Skylar said, sighing heavily before continuing, "Even if you don't think so right now... I know that you're completely capable of being a father. I mean you're so great with Amanda and Michael... It will get easier as time goes by and you get used to the idea. And at least you have a smokin' hot wife to go through it all with. And she loves you and you love her... And that's all that really matters. By the way, is she coming tonight?" "I don't know," Jack said, smiling lightly, "I texted her but she never replied. I don't know how appealing a party would be to her right now... Just because of the whole... Situation." "Understandable," she said as she stood up, offering a hand to help him up. "Yeah," Jack muttered as he grabbed onto her hand, standing up. He hugged her gently and said, "I love you, Sky." She laughed and said, "Yeah yeah, I know you do. I love you too." And with that, she walked upstairs and he was left in the dark, feeling somewhat trapped and alone.
An hour later, he found himself smiling again, smiling as he chanted the same words over and over, "You don't know what it is to regret."[/color] As the song finished, he found himself scanning over the crowded basement, scanning over many of the faces that had tortured him for years in and out of school. What did they think now? Was he still a loser, a fag, a dumbass? Or did they regret how they had treated him now that they saw him at his best. He finished off his water bottle before taking the mic in his hands again and saying, "Well thank you guys for showing some interest... We brought a bunch of copies of our EP, which are under the table over there... Pick one up if uhh.. You'd like, they're free. And we're currently working on a new CD which should be out by maybe February... So look for that too. We're actually going to play some songs that have never been played before. So you can give us some feedback. First though, we've got another cover song for you. We opened up for this band in Chicago a few weeks ago. Snow Patrol, if you don't listen to them, you definitely should." And with that, the music started up again and his fake smile was placed as he spoke, "We'll do it all, everything, on our own." And throughout the entire song, he found himself searching the crowd for the one person he wanted to see. The one person he wanted to hug, to kiss, to say "I love you" to. The one person who worked better at making him happy than any damn medication could. And as he finished the song, although he wasn't sure whether she could hear him or not, he spoke into the microphone, "I love you, Samantha..."[/size][/blockquote][/center] Untouched! [/color][/size] A N D I N E E D Y O U S O M U C H[/color][/size] SEE YOU, BREATHE YOU, I WANT TO BE YOU[/color][/size] ____________________________________________[/color][/size][/center] [/color] dressed for the season in a yellow mini dress and black pumps, she arrived to the party nearly an hour late and dragging (as usual) a man by the hand behind her. She hadn't asked him if he wanted to come, she hadn't given him much of a choice. In Natalie's world, all she had to do was declare an hour before hand that they were going. If he offered any kind of complaints or refused, she would either get angry or upset. To go along with her was the easiest option. Judging by the sound of things, the band was in the basement but considering Jack's voice was the one being heard, Gabe was not anywhere near the mic. She watched as Stacy hurried out of the kitchen and decided that she would have to go in there to find Skylar. She was right, she discovered as she pranced in there, leaving Jake behind. "Woah, woah, woah..." She said, sitting on top of the counter and offering no sign of discomfort like Stacy had at the site of the two getting intimate in the middle of the room, "Public displays are inappropriate and disguisting, I won't accept them from you two beautiful kids. You know better" "As if you are one to talk," Skylar laughed, pulling away from Gabe and walking up to Natalie, jumping up onto the counter next to her. "You're dating Jakob Sykes... And you take off your clothes for money. I do it for love." "You're lucky I love you," Natalie told her, laughing a little, "Or else I'd totally kill you for saying that. So I was talking to Ms. Anne today and she thinks that if we enter the competition as partners this year, which means ditching the team, we'd have a good chance of winning regionals." "I'd love to..." Skylar said quietly, shaking her head, "But I can't... Things are going to start getting rough soon... And I'll end up having to quit... And that won't be fair to you..." "Don't say that, Babe..." Gabe said quietly, walking over and putting his hand on Skylar's knee." Tears gleaming in her eyes, Skylar said, "Well it's true. I'm not going to be blind to this whole thing. It sucks. It fucking sucks but it's going to be this way whether I want it to or not." "Shh..." Natalie whispered, putting her arms around Skylar as she said, "Sweetie, you're always so optimistic. Don't change that now, please." She looked up at Gabe and said, "Why don't you get a beer or something for Sky... She needs something... Maybe some cigarettes too?" "Uhh... Yeah... Sure..." Gabe said, quickly turning and leaving the room. Natalie sighed and said, "I know it's not a great time but I really have to tell you something... It's critical." "Go ahead..." Skylar said, brushing a piece of long, golden hair behind her ear. Searching for words for a moment, Natalie stuttered, "I.. Uhh.. Umm.. I'm uhh.. Pregnant." "Again" Skylar asked, gasping and shaking her head slightly, "Nat... That's terrible... I mean... That's awesome. Congratulations. What does Jake think? Surely he's not too happy, right?" Laughing slightly, Natalie said, "Oh god... I haven't even told him... He's been trying to convince me to have his baby for a while now. But I'm not sure if I can keep it... I want to go to college and everything... I don't want to give it up... But I don't want kids right now..." "Well you need to tell him," Skylar said, sighing, "That's not something you should keep a secret." "No, it's not..." Natalie agreed, shaking her head, "But I have to wait... I just... Not now..." She started to say something else but Gabe came back, handing Skylar a beer and then taking out a few cigarettes. He took one for himself and then offered some to Natalie and Skylar. "No thanks... I'm good..." Natalie said, jumping down from the counter and walking out of the room, saying, "I have to find Jake..."
[/center][/blockquote] Hands Shake! [/color][/size] I ' M N O T U S U A L L Y T H I S W A Y[/color][/size] YOU PULL ME IN & I'M A LITTLE MORE BRAVE[/color][/size] ____________________________________________[/color][/size][/center] [/color] seemed utterly worthless now to say the least, especially considering that it was running down smooth cheeks rather than keeping it's intended position on the eyes. It wasn't a common sight, in fact it was quite rare, to see Skylar cry. As Natalie would later come to say, she was always quite an optimistic person. Still, she found herself melting down after she walked away from Jack and climbed her way up basement stairs, pretending as if she was still holding strong. There was no use in getting depressed, obviously, as her clock was running quickly out of time and it would all be over soon enough. But would death be the end of the pain that was caused by seeing death approach? Wouldn't dying be the fear coming true rather than a release? So wouldn't depression be a good thing? Wouldn't letting it take a hold of her be the only way to get over the fear that consumed her, the only way to make her happy about the approaching death? No, she couldn't give up. Jack needed her now more than ever. And so did Natalie, and Stacy, and Logan, and Gabe, and just about everyone that she was close to. They needed her to fight this sickness. Sickness... That's when she shook all thoughts from her mind and focused on one word. Sickness. Sickness. Sickness. She could feel it rising up in her stomach and before she new it she was sprinting into the bathroom, slamming the door shut and hurling her lunch into the toilet. She pulled her hair back into a low ponytail and leaned back against the wall, outstretching her leg to flush the toilet. She stared at her calfs, long and defined. Worthless. A lifetime of working out and testing her limits was all worthless. She wasted all of her time working on her sexy body. And she wouldn't be having sex for much longer. She needed her boy. She needed Gabe. She stood up and turned on the sink, cupping her hands and collecting water in them, pouring it into her mouth. She quickly spit it out as she heard the door opening next to her. She froze, seeing only a tall figure slipping through the small opening and then closing it again, turning the lock. "Relax," a familiar, deep voice said, "It's just me. I'm not going to kill you or anything. Just rape you." "Do it," Skylar said, turning around and propping herself on top of the sink, "Do it right now, please." Cocking an eyebrow, Gabe put his hands on her waist and said, "Did you seriously just consent to that?" "I did," she said, looking him directly in the eye and saying, "We've got to hurry. Pants off."
--Just in case you didn't realize. This was in between her conversations with Jack and Natalie. So replies to this are nawt necessary.--
[/center][/blockquote] Come In! [/color][/size] D I S I N T E G R A T E I N T O M E T O N I G H T[/color][/size] AND IF YOU WANNA GIVE IN, GIVE IN[/color][/size] ____________________________________________[/color][/size][/center] [/color] attraction. It was all that mattered to the horny little asian guy. Or Ronnie, as he was known amongst the people that actually had an idea of who he was. His reputation proceeded him and he was often used to being the center of attention, the life of the party, the jizz in the pants. His sunglasses had become his trademark and it was rare to see him leaving the house without him, even if he was going to a party at 7 P.M. like now. He didn't know Stacy whatsoever but he followed his social group to the party for one particular reason. Sex. The girls here were all so showy, as he suspected they would be. He was so tempted to just grab their asses through their tiny, almost see through, skirts. He had just finished up with not one, but two damn fine ladies as he walked out of some bedroom he had led them into and nearly slammed into Stacy, who was retreating from the kitchen looking flushed. He decided to head into the basement considering Jack was down there and therefore so would be some of the other people he knew on a personal level. Most of the people he actually recognized here were total dicks that made him grind his teeth. He had gone through high school so far being made fun of for his heritage and fucked up family life. And now as he looked around him, he could feel the hatred rising up like magma in a volcano. It almost burned. He kept his cool though, replacing his sunglasses and making his way through the small crowd that had gathered, searching for someone he could actually talk to. Finally he found her. He walked slyly up to Sam and stood silently beside her for a moment, listening to the music. Finally he turned to her and said, "You can really tell you're pregnant now... Your tits look absolutely amazing... Not in a creepy way... Just a friendly way." Then he heard Jack's words and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything..."

Adam walked up to Stacy and put his arm around her shoulders. He kissed her on the lips before asking, "Who the fuck was that?" in a casual tone.
Jake walked up behind Natalie, wrapping his arms around her waist. "So... How's my baby?" he whispered into her ear. "Ready for me to fuck your brains out all night?"
Sam looked at Ronnie before muttering, "Gee... Thanks so much..." She then returned her eyes to Jack and sighed. "I... I think I completely fucked up his life... I feel like he's going to end up hating me for it eventually..." she said quietly to Ronnie, tearing up slightly.

STACERZ! [/size] Startled, she jumped a little bit as he touched her shoulders. She turned bright pink and shook her head slightly as she said, "It was no one... I mean... He's a friend of Skylar's. Nothing to worry about. Hi. How are you?" [/blockquote] NATBABY! [/size] Looking up at him, Natalie shook her head and said quietly, "Babe, I really need you to behave tonight... Please. Everyone's here and I'd rather them not get bad impressions." [/blockquote] RONRONN! [/size] "Hey," he said, putting his hand on her shoulder and looking her in the eyes, "Don't make yourself think that. You and Jack... You're something special, we can all see that. You're not fucking his life up at all. He talks about you all the time. He's obsessed with you... He loves you... And it's not like it's your fault... He's taking responsibility for the situation... He's never going to hate you or even resent you..." [/blockquote] JACKBOY! [/size] Finally catching sight of Sam, Jack sighed heavily and put the microphone on the stand, looking back at the rest of the guys and saying, "Put on a CD or something... I'm taking a break." He quickly made his way towards Sam and Ronnie and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her softly on the lips and asking quietly, "What's the matter?" He looked at Ronnie and nodded slightly, just to acknowledge his presence. [/blockquote]

"I'm good... But that doesn't matter... It's your birthday, not mine..." Adam told her, smiling. "Sucking up to your girlfriend to get her in bed? Nice..." Eric said as he walked up to the couple. "Stacy, you may wanna fine someone who doesn't have so many STDs," he told her, smiling.
Jake rolled his eyes and said, "Fine... But I'm getting something tonight. Even if it's just a blowjob... Or a handjob; got it?"
Sam shook her head slightly and forced a smile. "I'm fine, Sweetheart. I'm just... tired and shit..." she told Jack.

STACERZ! [/size] "He knows he's not getting any," Stacy told Eric, though she looked at Adam and kissed him on the cheek. [/blockquote] NATBABY! [/size] "Or not!" Natalie said, pushing him away and rolling her eyes. [/blockquote] RONRONN! [/size] Staring awkwardly at the two, Ronnie said, "I'm umm... Just going to go find Skylar or someone..." [/blockquote] JACKBOY! [/size] "Alright," Jack said to Ronnie, though not taking his eyes of Sam. He stared at her and put his hand to her face, wiping her tears away with his index finger before brushing her hair to the side. He kissed her again and said, "I'm not going to fall for that, Sam... You're crying... I don't want you to be upset... Just tell me what's wrong." [/blockquote]

Eric laughed slightly and said, "I doubt that." He pushed Adam away slightly and hugged Stacy, kissing her on the cheek. "You look beautiful," he told her, smiling. "Back off..." Adam told him, giving him a slightly angered look. "Chill man... We all know she really likes you. Or else she wouldn't put up with the fact that you're a horny asshole," Eric said, rolling his eyes. "Whatever... Go get your own girl... Or boy... Or whatever... Don't you have a boyfriend?" Adam asked him. "No..." Eric muttered.
Jake rolled his eyes and said quietly into her ear, "Yes."
"I... I don't know, Jack... I'm just... I really don't know. I'm just hormonal or whatever I guess..." Sam replied, sighing.

"God, Adam..." Stacy muttered, rolling her eyes, "Can't you fucking chill every once in a while?"
Staring at the floor, Natalie said, "Baby, we need to talk..."
"Well we can leave a bit early then..." Jack told her, with a slightly worried tone, "You're sure you're alright?"

"Relax, Stace... He's just overly-horny... He hasn't been laid in a long, long time..." Eric told her. "He gets testy," he added, smirking.
Jake rolled his eyes, turning her around. "What's up, Babe?" he asked her.
"I'm fine, I swear..." Sam told him quietly. "Everything's alright."

"Well that sucks for him," Stacy said, smirking as she ran her fingers down Adam's crotch.
"I..." Natalie managed before going silent and leaning her head against his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his waist, "I'm pregnant..."
Nodding, Jack said, "Alright... Just promise you'll tell me if something is the matter?"

"God, Stace... You're making me horny..." Eric muttered. "I need to fuck someone..." "So go find some other fag to fuck..." Adam muttered before kissing Stacy on the lips. "Why the fuck do you have to be such a dick?!" Eric asked Adam, yelling slightly. "Seriously, just go fuck yourself," he added before walking off.
Jake stared at her for a moment before asking, "You're keeping it?"
Sam nodded slightly and said, "Yeah."

Groaning, Stacy shoved Adam away from her and followed Eric. She grabbed him by the wrist and said, "I'm sorry about him... He's a dick, like you said."
"I don't want to get an abortion..." Natalie said though she started to cry a little.
"I love you," Jack told her, smiling a little before kissing her forehead.

Eric sighed and said, "Can't you just fuck him? Then maybe he'd chill..." After a moment he said, "Sorry... I shouldn't have said that... You have every right to not have sex with him... Honestly... Stace... I don't think you should... You'll regret it..."
Jake nodded slightly and said, "Okay then..."
"I love you, too..." Sam told him softly, resting her head against his chest.

Stacy sighed and said, "I like Adam... A lot... But I don't want to do anything that big just yet... It's just so soon." She bit her lip and said, "I really am sorry though. I don't know why he's so mean to you..."
"So umm... You're going to be a father," Natalie said, looking up at him and wiping her tears away.
Jack rubbed her back slightly and said, "Good... Is there anything I can do for you? Food? Drink? How are you feeling?"

Stacy nodded and said, "Well that's his issue... Not yours. He shouldn't be getting angry at you for something that you can't control..."
"You guess?" Natalie asked, a bit of irritation in her tone, "Fuck you..." She said before turning away from him.
Jack nodded and said, "Alright... I'm sorry..." he said, letting out a nervous laugh, "I guess I don't really know how to go about this whole pregnancy thing... Just let me know when you start needing things..." He smiled slightly and looked around the room, a little embarassed for no particular reason.
