Loyalty sobs herself to sleep in Bo and Max’s hold and her unconscious body is then carried by Bo out of the warehouse, where she’s loaded into an ambulance and taken to the hospital to be examined. After she’s released, she’s taken to Nina’s house where she barricades herself in Jonny’s bedroom with Stephany for days! The day before Jonny’s funeral, she goes with Bo, Max, Rich, all three of his brothers, and his sister to get a tattoo. I don’t understand what possessed her to get such a thing, but she’s in mourning right now and I’m still feeling shitty that the one fucking guy I loved to hate was the one who saved my life. But still… The tattoo bothers me! Right in the center of Loyalty’s chest is a life-like replica of the back of Jonny’s left hand. In the middle, it reads Jonny Anthony Knight. It also lists his birthday as Sunrise September thirteenth, and the day he died as Sunset October fourteenth. That wouldn’t be so bad, but on the ring finger of the handprint, it says ‘Amor
“C’mon, Lala”, my best friend Meme begs. “My brother won’t let me go if I don’t bring you along”. Kyle is Meme’s brother, who is two years older than us. Even he knows she’s… Promiscuous is putting it nicely!“That’s because I keep your ass out of trouble”, I chided. “Listen, Meme… I don’t feel like being ditched at a party where I don’t know anybody. It’s different when you do it at our high school after parties. I at least know people when you run off to get fucked”.“Hey bitch”, she groans.“Tell me I’m wrong”, I scolded back.“You're not, but it’s at Kyle's best friend’s house. You know Benny”, she tells me this like it’s supposed to make me feel better. I haven’t seen Benjamin in years!“Still”, I tell her, unsatisfied with her justification.“I promise, cross my heart and hope to die. I won’t ditch you this time”, she pleads.I know I’m going to regret this, “fine! But if you leave me this time, I’ll never forgive you”!She flings her arms around my neck as she jumps up and down
I’m at this lame-ass college party with my crew, talking to this dweeb of a guy named Kyle who goes to the mechanic's tech school with a few guys from my gang. He’s asking about getting a job at my shop! I’ve seen him around and his work on my vehicles is official, so I entertained his presence. That is until a girl gets bumped into and stumbles into the kitchen we are standing in!She’s tiny yet beautiful, despite her flaming hot pink hair! Her hazel eyes and buttoned nose suit her lush lips and high cheekbones. She’s curvy, and the midriff tee she’s wearing does nothing to conceal it. A pink heart dangles from her belly button and the black jeans she’s wearing hug her like a second skin. She’s wearing heels, yet still barely reaches my shoulder!“Lala”, Kyle says, and she looks around the room and smiles when she makes eye contact with him.“Kyle”, she says as he wraps her in his arms and twirls her around. Jealousy rages in me and I just want to pop his head off his shoulders. No w
Have I died and gone to heaven? I’m warm, in a bed that feels like a cloud! I feel the weight of an arm and a leg over me, and I’m not that disturbed by it since I was supposed to sleep at Meme’s… Until the weight really sets in on my body. I open my eyes, and came face to face with the unfamiliar jaw of a man that can only be described as being sculpted by God himself. His loose black curls hung messily around his forehead. His perfectly straight nose ties in with his strong squared jaw that rocks a five o’clock shadow and fits his look perfectly. His plump lips are parted as his gentle snores escape him. I caress his cheek and his eyes shoot open, startling me. As the recognition of his crystal blue eyes syncs the memories of last night with my brain, I sit up in the bed and take in my surroundings. He’s in bed with me in just sweatpants, so this is obviously his bed! How did I get here? Both Kyle and Meme are asleep on the floor! “What the fuck Meme?” I yelled, making everyone ju
I’m jolted awake when I feel a soft hand graze across my cheek. My eyes lock on confused hazel eyes, and she startles when my eyes flutter open from her touch. She stares at me with mild recognition, like she’s trying to remember how she knows me. Then she sits up in the bed and looks down at her clothes before she looks around the room.“What the fuck Meme?”, she yells, making her friend jump out of her sleep.“Nothing happened, Lala, I swear”, she says defensively.She pulls the blanket back, gasps in shock, and covers herself again. “Nothing happened? But I’m in bed with a stranger, and clearly not in my clothes”!“Lala I swear”, Meme cries as Kyle gets up from the floor.“She’s telling the truth Lala”, he says. “Spin and I heard you fall into the water, so he jumped in after you. You fainted or some shit, so we brought you back here and changed you so you wouldn’t get sick”, Kyle explains. Lala is nodding as she listens to Kyle explain the current situation they have all found the
~LALA~ After breakfast at Meme’s, I go straight home. My foster parents are not even back yet, so I use the key to get in and have the place to myself. I got started on the homework I'd neglected all weekend and I finished it within a few hours. When Maxine and Kevin finally show up, they convince me to accompany them to the mall. I walk between them with my arm looped through Maxine’s, trying to avoid anyone I know. I’ve been successful so far, and even when we head to the restroom I still haven’t seen a soul I know. However, I’m in the stall tinkling when I hear some girls talking about how a snobby rich football player named Travis Baker from my school had gotten a girl at their school pregnant, and his parents paid for the girl to have an abortion so his girlfriend wouldn’t find out! What?! Well, guess what bitches? I’m the girlfriend and I just found out in the worst way. I’ve hidden the relationship from Maxine and Kevin, so I act normal when I come out of the stall. I’m prett
I’m running late this morning and hoping that Spin has forgotten about me already. But as I’m slipping my boots on, I get a text telling me he’s outside. Well, I guess my hair is staying down today! He’s parked right outside the door in his flashy sports car, and I’m thankful that he stays in it and that my foster parents left for work thirty minutes ago! When I get in, I’m hit with the pleasant scent of his cologne. I know it’s Very Sexy by Victoria's Secret, which is odd for the biker king, but I say nothing! He’s wearing dark denim jeans and a black tee under his leather jacket. As I settle into the seat he says, “morning beautiful”. I tried my best to ignore him while trying to figure out how to get the seat of his fancy car to lay back a little. “Tired”?! I nod and admit, “I need caffeine”! He pulls into the Starbucks and sweeps his hand in front of him indicating for me to order. I lean across him to make sur
I wake early, dress, and head out the door. It’s five minutes to seven when I send a text that I’m outside. Meme is warming her car and she waves at me as she waits… Well, at least someone wants me around Loyalty, even if it’s for the wrong reasons!Loyalty steps out of the house with her long pink hair loose down her back, a white low-cut shirt showing cleavage, low-cut dark blue skinny jeans, gray Ugg boots, and a black bubble coat she has left open revealing her clothes underneath. Her pink book bag is slung over one shoulder! She doesn’t really go to school like this, does she?! Meme blows a kiss at her, and she blows one back as Meme pulls out of the driveway.Loyalty watches her pull away before getting in the car. “Morning beautiful”, I tell her and she rolls her eyes before laying the seat back slightly. “Tired”?!She nods her head as I start to drive and say
