'You're just lucky I love you, because you are really dumb for getting lost, Jule.' Sam kissed my lips for a sweet second. He grinned and took my hand. Oh, I love this boy. Even though my parents would never allow it, I loved him.
'I'm kind of nervous.' I truthfully say to him.
'Yeah, I can feel that. Your hands are all sweaty.' Sam smirked.
'You like it sweaty.' Now Sam laughed out loud an pushed me playfully away from him. I ran after him when we he started to run to the gym. He motioned me to follow him. He opened a door in the hallway and closed the door behind us. Before I could ask where we were going, he pressed his lips on mine again. This time it was a long kiss, soft and full of love. 'Just wait for tonight.' I whisper when the kiss ended and we were both gasping for air.
'Can't wait.' he whispered back. I tried to open the door of the dressing room we were staying in to get to the high school dance, but Sam stopped me from going. 'Wait I have something for you.' With his back turned to me, he took a backpack from a bench and opened it. He grinned when he returned to me. 'I got you fake glasses to match with that awful wig you're wearing.' He grinned when he put the glasses on my nose and took a step back to look at me. 'Hmm, not even that bad. You look nerdy now. I kind of like it.'
'Take that back!' I try to yell at him, but fail when I see him smile at me. His smile made me forget what he just said and this time I kiss him with need. 'Where we even planning on going to this dance or did you ask me to make out in a dressing room?' We were both panting and the wig I was wearing was beginning to itch. I couldn't wait for this dance to be over and to get to my boat and make out some more with him.
This stupid dance didn't even let us drink alcohol. So different from my high school. They didn't even notice when a fourteen year old was drinking beer. Sam took me to his friends. Three boys who's names I didn't remember seconds after they were told. I didn't care. I had only eyes for Sam. His brown eyes were sparkling in the disco lights, making him more and more attractive.
'Guys, this is my boyfriend Julio.' Sam introduced me.
'Beer, Julio?' A blond guy took a bottle of beer from his backpack.
I grinned. They brought their own drinks. This made the night better. 'Friends of Sam can call me Jule. It's what he calls me.' I take the bottle and open the lid with my teeth. I spit the lid on the ground and put my hand in the air. 'Beer!'
'Beer!' they all yelled together. I couldn't even deny I liked Sam's friends. They were all straight and in Sam's football team. I played football at my school or soccer or whatever you like to call it. We had fun that night.
When we were getting drinks for all the boys, suddenly Sam walks away from the gym. I said to the guy behind the bar that I will be back and follow him. 'Sam? Sam, where did you go?' I see him talking to some blond girl. She looked up and when our eyes meet, I recognize my cousin instantly. I thought I saw her before, but that wasn't possible, right? 'Shelly?' I whisper. She went pale and ran away from me. Shit.
'You know Shelly?' Sam asked me. I totally forgot he was standing next to me. He heard me whisper her name. Shit. Shit. Shit.
'Kind of.' I say truthfully. She looked behind her one last time, before she went around the corner and out of sight. 'Does she know, she isn't wearing a jacket?' I regret following Sam outside. Shelly was a special child in need of special care. She had to go to the hospital a lot. I spooked her off. Does her mother know she was here? I guess not. Do I need to report it to my aunt Shelly was here? I had no idea. I never been in this situation before.
'Seriously, how do you know Shelly?' Sam asked again. He wasn't letting it go, like I hoped he would.
'I will tell you an other time. Can we please go back inside? I'm freezing my ass off here.' Sam couldn't say no to that. It was really cold outside. The rest of the night we danced with Sam's friends and we totally forgot about Shelly.
Shelly POV
Was I stupid to leave my backpack behind? Probably. It was so cold outside, I could see my own breathing in the air. I didn't even have my jacket on. But I had to go back before someone noticed I was gone, or before Julian would tell my mother I was gone. I really hoped he didn't tell his father though. I didn't want to be punished by my uncle again. I regret not saying goodbye to Tia. She was probably waiting for me to come back. No, I regret coming in the first place. It was a stupid idea. I was stupid.
I found my bike and drove it back home like I never had done before. The cold air penetrated my few clothes I was wearing. I was shivering from the cold. I was chattering too. Tears were stinging my eyes. I kept going faster and faster on the paddles. I had to get home. Normally one of the guards brought me to school with the car. I only went on my bike to school a few times. I hoped I knew the way back in the dark. Thankfully I got out the residential areas without any problems.
The last part of the ride, was a busy road through the forest. The cars drove hard around here. I had no lights on my bike and I was scared of being hit. I heard a car drive way harder than the speed limit so I jumped off my bike and I continued on the roadside with my bike in hand. Lights were getting closer. Damn this car drove like an idiot. Light were swaying like the car was out of control, like the person that was driving was drunk. I stopped walking when the car turned around the corner of the forest rode. It was a black car and it was driving right towards me. Before I could even react of what was going on, I flew over the car. With a crash I land on the ground, rolling further till I came to lay still on the middle of the road. I heard the car come to a stop with screeching brakes.
I lay still on the road with my face plastering to the ground. I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't move either. I knew that wasn't right. When you were hit by a car, you must feel something, right? I closed my eyes. All I wanted to do was sleep right now. The cold didn't bother me anymore.
Footsteps of a unfamiliar person come closer. With force I was turned from my belly to my back. Soft hands were wiping away my hair from my face. I didn't open my eyes. I couldn't even if I wanted to. The smell of alcohol wasn't hard to miss. This person was drunk as a skunk.
'Shelly?' A man asked. I recognized the voice, but couldn't place it. He knew my name. 'No, not again, not again.' The man started to cry out loud. For a few minutes he was crying next to me. Right at the moment I was passing out fully, I was lifted off the ground and I woke up a little. Warm strong hands were holding me. I was floating for a few seconds, then I passed out.
Julian POV
I woke up with Sam's arm draped over my bare chest. I loved waking up next to him. We didn't got to spent much time together. He worked a lot at his uncle's workshop. That is how we met actually, here at my boat. The motor didn't work when me and my best friend Brent were going away on a boat holiday for three weeks this summer. We tried six different mechanics, but they were all closed because of the hot weather. Then Sam showed up, fixing the problem within a minute.
'What do I owe you?' I asked when he fixed it.
'Nothing. I didn't do much. This one is on the house.' Sam smiled and I blushed. His smile was amazing. His bronze skin was glistening from sweat. It was really hot outside and he had taken off his shirt. I couldn't stop staring at his amazing body.
'Ask if he wants to come along.' Brent suggested whispering in my ear. He knew I was struggling with my feelings of being gay or not. I had a few girlfriends before, but they never last longer than a few weeks.
Me, Brent and Samuel spent three weeks together on the boat. It was an amazing time. A week after we returned he asked me to be his boyfriend. I said yes and lost my virginity that night with him.
'Hey, sleepyhead.' Samuel whispered, while softly caressing my belly abs. 'What time is it?'
'Not even 8am. What time did you have to go to school again?'
'10. My stupid school is making us come to school even after a dance. Oh, I hate that place.' He sighed. 'Can't I stay here with you?'
'I wish we could stay, but I have to meet my family for lunch. My brother JJ is coming back today. I'm sorry.' I closed my eyes for a few seconds. 'I wish I could stay here with you too.' We ended up in the shower together. The very, very tiny shower on the boat. Sam got even late for school. He said it was okay, he was already supposed to stay for detention after. Sam was a badboy and I liked it. He was my badboy. I never asked why he had to go to SNHS. I didn't need to know anyways.
When I got back home, my family was already there. I was late too and I didn't even noticed the time. I hadn't seen my brother JJ for almost three months now. I was happy to see him, I mean he is my brother after all. I actually have three older brothers. Justin is the oldest, he is 26 years old. Then there is JJ, he is 22 years old. My brother Jaden is 19 years old. Then there is me and I'm 17 years old. The youngest of the family is my little sister Avalyn or Ava like she wants to be called, she is 14 years old. I was never close to my other brothers, but I loved JJ. Then he moved to play basketball at the Los Angeles Lakers Basketball team. He barely came home now.
We ate, we laughed, we cached up. The whole family was together. My aunt Kendra and cousin Kelsey came to eat with us. My nephew Gus, the two year old son from my brother Justin, was running around, tickling everyone. We ended up watching a film. My brothers JJ, Jaden, my sister and cousin all sat on the couch eating popcorn and salty nuts. As if we didn't just ate lunch together. If you looked at us, you should see a normal family, minus the four people shadowing us with camera's for our realityshow. Yes that's right, we had our own reality show for fourteen years now. That is why I had to wear a wig at the party.
'Kendra!' Someone was shouting in the hallway. 'Kendra! Jack!' We all jumped up to see who it was. I ran with the rest of the family out of the living room.
'Cut the camera's.' My father yelled. This couldn't be good. The camera team walked outside to give us some privacy. 'What is going on?' My father Jack asked with aunt Kendra on his heals.
'The school director called why Shelly didn't go to school today. We didn't bring her to school today, because she wasn't in her room to begin with, so we asked around and no one had seen her since last night.' Our head of security said out of breath from running.
'My office now.' My father spoke. He, Conner and Kendra all followed him to his office.
Shit. What if Shelly never got home last night?
