Chapter 3

When I got home, it was dark inside of my house. I flicked on some lights for comfort before settling into the couch. I pulled out homework assignments and immediately got to work. It wasn't hard, I just fell behind a little. I was probably halfway through working when my doorbell rang. I answered to see Jet standing in tears. My heart broke.

"She passed away forty minutes ago. She died with a smile." Jet collapsed. I helped him into my living room as he broke down. I was in shock. Jet's mother played a big role in his life. She practically raised him since his father was always gone. I stroked his hair and whispered calming words, not really knowing how to calm him down. At least she died peacefully.

"Can I stay here? With you?" He pressed his cheek into my neck intimately. I sighed, struggling slightly to get rid of my earlier anger with him.

"You should home be with your father. He needs you." I answered gently. He shook.

"Can I stay just a little more then? Please." He begged. I nodded and hugged his thin frame. I listened to his murmurs turn to light snores. Pulling out my phone, I texted Natsu and Lucy the news. Sneaking away, I answered my ringing phone as Lucy quickly called me.

"Oh my goodness. Is he okay?" Lucy said in shock.

"He cried. I'm in shock. Jet really loved his mother. She was his everything. He is asleep now."

"Ok. That's good. How are you? Natsu told me about your wrist." She said in a hushed tone. I glanced to the living room to see Jet still knocked out. I pulled up my sleeve and my eyes widened. The purple bruise was mostl yellow.

"It's half healed. Oh wow." I stroked the tender skin and didn't feel much pain.

"That's great. Have you made up your mind about Friday?" I sighed.

"Yeah. I'm gonna go. I think Jet could use the release now, if he wants to." I explained. Lucy moved around on her end.

"I'm thinking about bringing Gajeel. Natsu thinks he should go. I agree with him."

"Oh, well good luck with that. I doubt anyone can talk him into going."

"That's where you come in." Lucy sang. I rolled my eyes. "Sure, but he will tell me no."

"Ya never know. See ya tomorrow girl." Lucy and I said our goodbyes before I hung up my phone. I went back to the living room and waited for Jet to wake up. I sat on the floor and finished my homework before I decided it was time for him to get home. It was already dark outside.

"Come on, Jet. Let's go." I nudged him. He woke slowly under my touches as I made sure he didn't cry.

"I will walk you home. Will you be at school tomorrow? Do you want to drive?" I asked while stepping out the front door. Jet was slouched with sleep.

"I have to drive to the city with my dad. And coach wants me to talk to college coaches on Friday before the game. I won't see you until Friday."

"We are going to that party, by the way." I kissed his cheek. He looked down at me.

"Are you sure? We don't have to go."

"I want to. It's been awhile since I've seen Cana's drunk ass. It will be fun."

"Ok. See ya Friday. And don't wear red. It's our rivals colors." He grinned softly. I let him lean down to kiss me before we said our goodbyes. I walked home, knowing he was watching me from his doorstep until I was safely inside.


Asking Gajeel to go to the after game party went differently than expected.

"You got something you wanna say to me, Short Stack?" Gajeel eyed me as we sat side by side in lunch. Natsu and Lucy watched us like hawks, knowing I was gonna try to talk him.

"You should come with us to the party tomorrow night. It will be a fun way to start off break." I tried to sound convincing. Gajeel raised an eyebrow.

"And what makes you think I want to go?" I blanched slightly, and Natsu snickered a little, causing me to throw him a glare.

"Well, I am you favorite person here, so I figured you would want something to do out of school for hanging out." I pulled up anything I could. Lucy was trying hard not to roll over with laughter. Gajeel smirked and leaned into my ear.

"Uh huh. And where did you get the idea you were my favorite?"

I smirked back. Being incredibly bold, more so than usual, I grabbed his left hand in my right, lacing our fingers together before I leaned to his ear. "I'm the only one you smile at."

Gajeel pulled back and looked at me in shock. Natsu bellowed at Gajeel's face and Lucy giggled to herself. Composing himself, Gajeel gritted his teeth and looked away.

"Tch. I'll think about it."

"Okay. Thanks." I smiled. He rolled his eyes before standing.

"I didn't say yes."

"But you're going to." I leaned up and whispered. Gajeel sucked in a tight breath.

"You play with fire without knowing it. I gotta go, but I will see you later." His thumb stroked over my fingers gently before he released me.

"Where do you go during lunch?" I asked. Gajeel shrugged.

"Out." He grumbled as he left, but not without messing up my hair first. I adjusted my headband.

"I hope you two are happy. Gajeel is never gonna let me live that down." I complained. Although, I did get an exhilarating feel from playing with Gajeel.

"Levy, Gajeel likes you. Anyone with two eyes can see that." Natsu teased.

"I wouldn't say 'like'. He just has a soft spot no one else has really seen." I tried to shrug it off.

"Exactly. And Gajeel is as tough as Iron or Steel." Lucy added on. I looked at the two suspiciously.

"Okay. Say he does. What do I do? I am already taken." I argued.

Lucy covered Natsu's mouth. "Do what you want. You have options, Levy."

"Can we change the subject?" I asked. Natsu laid his head down in slight frustration. Lucy stroked his pink locks with a hint of a grin on her face.

"How about next week? What are we gonna do?" She questioned Spring Break.

"Definitely the beach. And maybe that pool party at Mira's. She did invite us." I pointed out. Lucy smiled.

"Deal. Let's see what else."


I picked my nails as the crowd around me was rowdy. Our team wasn't even on the field yet and it was crazy. Lucy sat next to me with a deep blue colored flannel rolled up at the arms with black leggings. I matched her. We had pretty good seats behind the guys bench. I leaned on the bars as I cracked open my latest book. I let the world around me drown out as I waited for the game.

Lucy patted my shoulder and I straightened up. Our team came running out of the locker room loud as usual, louder than the crowd and Band combined. I saw Jet give me a childish grin, so I smiled and waved. When the team captains and coaches walked to the center field, which included Jet, I leaned back into my seat.

"There is Natsu." Lucy pointed excited. I followed her gaze to see Natsu and Gajeel watching us with smirks. Natsu waved just a Lucy did. They were too cute. The two men seemed to converse before Gajeel approached the stands with something in his hands. I stood up when he jumped onto the gate.

"Keep it safe. I don't look good in blue." Something came onto my head as Gajeel jumped back down. I grabbed the hat off of my head and observed. It had Gajeel's last name on the front with the school mascot and the school logo on the back.

"Told you." Lucy sang. I rolled my eyes as I turned the cap around. I saw Jet looking my way and I gave him an encouraging smile. He merely nodded to me. With the game starting, I would originally get back into my story, but Gajeel's actions pulled me into the game. I had never wanted to watch the game more than ever before. I didn't cheer much, but I did watch and attempt to understand what was going on.

It was a mirage of loud cracks as the players rammed into each other with a combination of 'manly' grunts and yelling coaches and crowds. I was slightly surprised I was even able to tune this all out reading a book. In all honesty, I realized that our football was actually very good. I took in a number of college and university coaches sitting along the wall while waiting to talk to players after the game.

"So we are up?" I asked at the halftime.

"Yep. Come on. I know how we can see the guys in the locker room." She grabbed my hand. Pulling me behind her, I was dragged to the concessions where Mira was working diligently. It was a full line.

"The usual? I need it back." Mira gave Lucy a key and two lanyards that had medical stamps. I raised an eyebrow.

"You got it. See ya later tonight, with Laxus." Lucy teased. Mira blushed and waved us off.

"Come on, Levy." I put the lanyard around my neck and we walked right past the security to the locker room. There was still a good ten minutes left of the break.

"Levy? How did you get in here?" Jet asked surprised. All he wore was a sweater muscle shirt that stuck to his skin. His other top gear wasn't on. He looked like a model.

"Lucy and her magic ways. You are doing great." I hugged him and pecked his cheek. He moved his sweaty hair from his face.

"Ya think so? Coaches are out there." Jet said nervously. I grabbed his larger hands in mine.

"You are doing outstanding. Lucy has me paying attention. She even said you are playing better than she has ever seen." I encouraged him. His name was called.

"I gotta go. I gotta get wrapped up." Jet said. He eyed the cap on my head.

"I'm holding it for a friend. Hurry along." I shooed him before he could turn it around. When he disappeared into the medical office, I seeked out Lucy. I turned and ran smack into a warm wall. Looking up, Gajeel smirked at me with a light in his eyes.

"Hey, Smalls."

"Where do you get this list of names?"

"I just think of anything small. The list goes on." Gajeel rolled his shoulder.

"You're really good." I complimented. My eyes accidentally roamed down his figure. Gajeel looked delectably dangerous. His top gear wasn't clipped, so it hung loose on his sweaty and large frame. Every muscle twitched in the right place. My eyes almost widened at the thick muscles of his legs and thighs. He was nothing but iron muscle. His irregular laugh caught attention.

"Eyes up here. Ya know, it's rude to stare." He teased me. I rolled my eyes at him.

"I don't think you have a problem with it." I teased back. He shrugged. He stepped close and ran a gloved finger down my crosses arms before he yanked me slightly so I stumbled into his body. I was grateful that he had on the gear. I blushed deeply at his irregular laugh.

"I like having your attention. I gotta go. I will see ya at the party, right?"

"Only if ya win." I nudged him. He walked off with a wink, making me blush even more. I found Lucy waiting by the door with red cheeks. She fanned herself.

"You and Natsu are something else." I shook my head. For the remainder of the game, it wasn't really hype. We crushed the other team. I did, however, flinch when I saw Gajeel collide with another man from the other team with under a minute left in the game. Both got up, yelling at each other. Gajeel clenched a fist, but Natsu quickly hopped between the two. The crowd yelled out. The refs directed both players to the bench. Gajeel's sub went in for him.

"Wow. We already won anyways." I commented. Lucy giggled.

"It's all about pride in Football. I learned that from half of the team."

When the refs blew their whistles, the stands quickly emptied. We went to the concessions to give Mira our fake passes before waiting outside the locker room doors. Natsu came out with a grin. The locker room emptied behind him as he approached us.

"I got an acceptance spot for MU, guys. On a full ride scholarship!" He shouted excited. His dream was to get into MU, and he was doing it. Lucy and I hugged him.

"Great job, babe. Let's go party to celebrate!" I smiled as Lucy kissed him. I pecked his cheek, proud of him. Lucy said she would meet me at the party after taking him home to shower.

I waited outside of the locker room alone. I could occasional murmurs from inside. Ten minutes later the door opened to reveal a smirking Gajeel and a frowning Jet. Gajeel had in completely different clothes from before. He wore black jeans tucked into his combat boots with a white shirt half hidden by a red jacket. He turned back after his name was called.

"Hey, Jet. How was it?" I approached him. I held Gajeel's hat in my hands. Jet didn't notice.

"I got the colleges I want for some scholarship money. Some of the coaches are offering Redfox more money than me."

"Oh, good for him."

"He declined every offer. He said he only played football for fun. The guy is a fool to turn down such chances."

"Hey, it's his choice. Do you want me to take you home?"

"Naw. I'm riding with a coach. I'll meet you at the party. Do you want me to walk you to your car?"

"No need. I walked and I'm waiting for your coach. I wanted to ask him about my credits in his class." I lied smoothly. He kissed me before leaving quickly. I rested against the wall until Gajeel came out. He looked surprised to see me standing there.

"Hey, Shrimp."

"Hey, Gajeel. I heard about your offers. You're crazy to say no." He stood close to me. He smelled amazing. I shook my head.

"I got different plans. And I am crazy about something else." His sharp red gaze made my skin warm. I didn't want to acknowledge the emotions swirling in his red orbs.

"Ok. Well, I'm proud of you. Did you want a ride?" I looked down.

"I got my motorcycle. Keep the hat. I will see you soon, Shrimp." He said in my ear. His hand touched mine, his rough thumb running over my soft knuckles, before he turned away. I was stunned. The entire ride to the party left me stunned. Jet had texted me he would catch a ride with Cana's boyfriend so I was to meet him there. I parked on the street just far enough so that the outside party-goers wouldn't spill any drinks or sit on my ride.

I was greeted occasionally on my way in.

"Levy! You came!" Cana nearly screamed over the booming music. I hugged her gently.

"What's going on? I haven't seen you in a whole week!"

"I had to visit my doctor. He said something about slowing down on my drinking, but you know me." She gave me a hearty smile.

"You should be careful."

"Yeah, yeah. I am taking safety measures. Lucy is in the back with the others. Your guy should be here any minute." She winked at me. I went to where she directed me, but stop to grab a shot glass of whatever the hell was inside of it. The usual bartender gave me a a salute.

I found Lucy sitting around the fire laughing with Lisanna, Mira, Juvia, and Erza. All females welcomed me.

"Hey Levy. I presume you are well?" Erza asked while dropping an arm around my shoulder.

"I am. Are you all dunk already?" I teased. Juvia spook up.

"Not yet. Juvia has also just arrived." She spoke in her usual language. I always wondered why, but that was just her.

"Ugh, not nearly enough. Cana's BF should be here any second." Lucy and Lisanna whined.

"So, how are things with you and Jet? I heard the news." Mira asked after sipping whatever was in her cup.

"He says he is doing well. I have come up with a few plans to take his mind off of his mom." I shrugged and smiled slightly.

"How are you doing?" Erza asked. She presented a cup of dark liquid, and I took it.

"Well, I guess my mind has been all over the place. Very recently." I told the truth. Lucy gave me a knowing glance, which I returned with a warning one. I went to sip from my cup.

"Hey, ladies! Hey Levs." I felt lips touch my hair. Jet wrapped an arm around my waist and grabbed my drink before I could even get a sip. I frowned, as did Lucy and Erza.

"Hey, give that back." I whispered the last part in his ear. He pulled me away from the blazing pit.

"You shouldn't be drinking this." He cuddled me closer.

"I want to though. I want to release a little with my friends." I argued. He shook his head and released me. His gaze seemed elsewhere as he looked around.

"You be careful. I'm probably going to be with… Some of the guys. Beer pong."

I scrunched up my nose. "Beer is disgusting."

"It's not gonna be beer. Go on and play." He said in an off tone.

"Are you okay? You seem distracted."

"I'm fine. Seriously, don't drink." He slipped his gaze to mine. I huffed.

"I can do whatever I want to do, Jet." I whispered back, not wanting to make a scene in front of my friends. He grumbled under his breath. He yanked me closer so my ear felt his lips.

"I said no, Levy. Please respect that." His voice was different. It was like the other day when we got into an argument. I tensed up and watched him leave me to walk deeper into the yard towards the group of players huddled up. I was pulled from my shock as a large body came into vision.

"Oi, Shrimp. You okay?" Gajeel stared down at me. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. When I looked over Gajeel's shoulder, Jet had disappeared in the crowd. A sense of panic rose slightly before I shook my head.

"Fine." I squeaked out. He raised a pierced eyebrow.

"Come inside with me." He gestured. I shook my head.

"I don't really dance." I had a hard time thinking clearly around him. He chuckled and grabbed my wrist.

"Come on. We ain't gotta dance. I don't exactly have dancing shoes." He joked at his combat boots. I giggled slightly. Inside, I saw Lucy dancing with the rest of our girl friends. She seemed as though she wanted to beckon me, but Gajeel at my side stopped her. She winked. Since Cana was such a heavy drinker, she kept had a bar installed. Gajeel gave the bartender a nod before he reached around the counter to pour something. I took a seat next to him, which I had to jump on.

"You know him?"

"We work at the same bar." He explained. I liked listening to him take.

"You're a bartender?" He didn't agree, but he didn't deny it.

"I work at a bar on weekends. Here, try this." Gajeel placed a cup in my hand. I shivered as I remembered Jet's words.

"No thanks." I rushed out. Gajeel smirked.

"It's Pepsi." He said. I sighed and took a huge gulp, only to realize that it definitely was not Pepsi. Gajeel howled with laughter.

"It has a little vodka."

"That's a crime, ya know." I coughed. Gajeel shrugged.

"Are you going to arrest me?" He placed his hands on the counter on either side of my body. I straightened at the close proximity. His chest was so inviting in that wretched shirt. I turned my head and took another gulp.

"I didn't put enough to get you drunk." He whispered. I nodded, just knowing I could trust him. Cheers around us came as the DJ praised Spring Break. Overwhelmed, I turned away from him and towards the counter. He swept my hair aside to bring his lips close to my ear.

"What did he say to you?" Gajeel asked carefully. I closed my eyes, feeling his lips brush my ear and his warm breath on my skin was too much.

"Nothing really. Can you step back?" I breathed. He chuckled that strange laugh.

"Do you want me to? Am I making you uncomfortable?" He said in a deep voice. I felt his chest pressed against my back. I put both of my hands on the counter to stop myself for making a stupid mistake. Gajeel raised his hands and set them over mine to pull them to my lap so I was encompassed by him. I wanted so badly to touch him, but this just felt too natural. Me succumbing to him was a thought that ran around my head, but I denied it.

"Gajeel, please not here." I said shakily.

"How about here?" He mumbled as he kissed my neck. We both jolted. His mouth was soft, more so than I thought. He turned me to face him. If only I could feel those lips against mine... Gajeel's phone rang in his pocket as he stared at me. He glanced at it before sighing.

"I will be right back. Don't move."

I nodded numbly as he walked off before downing my drink and approaching my friends. Lucy immediately gripped my hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Look." She pulled me into the bedroom on the second floor but kept the lights off. She pointed outside. I looked out the window, but Lucy pointed downward. I followed her finger. I stopped breathing.

Jet was leaned against the fence with his hand in the cheerleader captain's pants. They were both kissing each other and the girl, who I recalled as Ashley Bracey, began to touch his chest. My hands covered my mouth as Lucy pulled me into her embrace.

"You deserved to know. It's not their first kiss. Anytime he gets drunk she shows up. Cana told me. I'm so sorry. I wanted to tell you so bad earlier this week, but I couldn't bring myself to do it." She stroked my head. I didn't cry. I was just frozen. All this time, Jet went behind my back yet he forced me to go out of my way for him. I shook with anger as Lucy released me. She studied my face cautiously.

"I need a moment. I'm okay. We can deal with it later." I rubbed my eyes. Lucy nodded and told me she would be downstairs. I went across the hall into Cana's room and was grateful no one had entered. I found a full 16 oz bottle of Honey Jack in her mini fridge and helped myself. On my second gulp, the door creaked open. I didn't pay it any mind.

"I thought I told you to wait downstairs. Woah, Peanut. That's a lot to drink. And I know you are a lightweight." Gajeel reached for the bottle, but I grabbed his hand with my free one.

"I'm okay." I whispered. Gajeel took a seat next to me.

"What happened?"

I closed my eyes. "I saw something I didn't want to see."

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

I shook my head. "Not really. I was hoping to distract myself with this." I raised the bottle. He plucked it from my hand and took a swig.

"Honey Jack. Classical. What would you say for a different distraction?" Gajeel stood up and put the drink away. I frowned.

"What did you have in mind?"

"I have a lot of things, but how about we embarrass each other while dancing?" He offered a hand to me. The music downstairs was still loud as hell. I could have screamed bloody murder and no one would have heard anything.

"One dance." I said. He shrugged. Gajeel turned my body so my back was pressed to his front as we rocked slowly. We didn't dance at all, but swayed.

"What plans do you have for Spring Break?" I asked softly. Gajeel seemed to inhale my hair.

"Nothing really. I planned on picking up my cat from my cousin's house. He is the best cat on the planet."

"Oh really? What's his name?"

"PantherLily. Only the dopest name for the dopest cat." Gajeel joked. I shook my head and he laced his fingers with mine on my waist.

"I would love to meet him." I breathed. Gajeel nodded into my hair.

"You would love him. Damn cat loves anything but me."

"Aw. Maybe it's his way to showing you love. Tough love for a tough owner and his cat." I teased. Gajeel pressed his lips to my head.

"Would you want to join me and my friends on our little trip to the Beach on Tuesday?" I asked to distract myself. My skin was warm.

"Anything you want to do, I am okay with. As long as you are there." He whispered into my ear. His embrace and scent was overwhelming. Christ, he was overwhelming.

"I should go." I said. Those buzzing feelings were rising. I was surrounded by Gajeel.

"I think you want to be here. In my arms. Not in his. Lucy told me. Why are still thinking about him?" Gajeel growled.

"I… I just need to talk to him… It's something we have to deal with." I felt like I was talking to myself.

"Levy, you don't want him." Gajeel said as I broke his hold.

"I will see you later. I have to go." I kept my eyes away from him, not wanting to continue this discussion. Gajeel surprised me by grabbing my waist. He pulled my body flush against his hard one.

"I know you think about me, Levy. And I think about you too. I'm done playing around." He growled.

"Gajeel, let go." I breathed, loving the feeling of his firm body pressed up against my smaller one.

"You won't kiss me goodbye, Levy?" He with a sadistic smirk. My cheeks reddened.

"Hey, what—" My eyes went wide as he grasped my cheek and lifted my head to his. I gasped and pulled away when he kissed me. My lips felt like they were electrified. My entire body relaxed, nearly melting in his embrace. My knees even felt weaker.

"Stop. This isn't—" My words fell on deaf ears as Gajeel kissed me again, but harder. I bit back a moan as his lips caressed my own perfectly. He felt and tasted so good. My eyes closed as this man ran his hands down my body, making me shiver. I felt a pooling heat form in my lower stomach.

"G-Gajeel. Wait a… Oh God." I moaned slightly as his unnaturally sharp teeth scraped across my neck. I gave a loud moan when his hands gripped my ass and lifted me against him. I grasped his shoulder blades to not fall before I was pressed up against the wall. Being bold, I ducked my hands under his shirt to trace every ridged muscle there. I could feel where scars were, but nothing beat the feeling of the hard counters mesmerizing me.

"Your little boyfriend ever make you hot like this?" Gajeel bit my earlobe and pressed his body against mine. I raised a hand to his hair to tug his face back to mine while I continued touching down his abs. My body heat was on fire as Gajeel gripped my ass harder before grinding into my center. Our lips disconnected as a whorish groan escaped my lips. The party downstairs thundered as Gajeel made me melt in his embrace.

"Tell me you don't want me. Tell me that you wish I was Jet. Tell me that you wish it was him making you feel like this. Tell me and I will stop." He demanded. His seductive mouth moved to my neck.

"You're such an ass." I moaned as he nipped.

"What can I say? I'm an ass-type man." He gripped my ass tighter.

"Fuck." I cried out as he built a slow and steady rhythm. He snarled when I yanked on his hair. Jet never touched me like this. Not so rough yet loving and confident. It felt like Gajeel just knew what to touch to set my body on fire. Oh shit. Jet.

"Stop. Stop. Gajeel." I pushed against his chest and he slowed his kisses while also releasing me. When he straightened up, the look in his red eyes made me rub my thighs together. He grinned evilly. Anger flared as I whipped a hand out and smacked his cheek. His grin was replaced with shock.

"I can't believe you did that. You know I am still dating Jet!" I yelled at him. The music was too loud for my words to travel.

"You don't love him." Gajeel growled after gaining his composure. He smacked both of his hands against the wall.

"I-I do." My voice sounded unconvincing to myself. After what I saw, I wasn't sure how I felt. I wanted to hit Jet, but I also wanted an explanation. But I didn't have a broken heart like I should. And kissing Gajeel didn't feel like revenge. My thoughts were so jumbled. Gajeel ducked his head and openly nipped at my collarbone through my shirt. I jerked slightly as my eyes closed.

"You never answered my question before. Your shitty boyfriend will never make you feel the way I made you feel. I have been waiting for you for a long time. You belong to me now. You know you want me. Just like I know I want you." His hot breath flew into my ear as my brain clouded with his metallic yet manly scent.

"Stop. I can't do this to him. I might be angry, but this isn't right."

"Break it off and come back to me."

"He doesn't deserve this. We have been together for so long." I felt like I was trying to convince myself. An empty argument. I was saying anything to get him away so I could clear my head.

"He doesn't deserve you. You are right. You deserve a man, not a little boy like him. A boy who hides behind liquor to cheat. You deserve want you want. You deserve better."

"And you're that?" I breathed.

"I value you more than my life, Levy. He doesn't." He raised his lips and kissed me slower while massaging my thighs in his large hands. I couldn't help but press against him to feel his hard chest and stomach. Jet never felt this good. He never made my body ache like this. My hands went around to feel his back and I gasped into his mouth. He was stone everywhere. And I wanted him. I wanted to be touched by him. I wanted all of him. And it made my skin tingle and my brain numb that he wanted all of me.

"Levy! Where are you?!" I heard Jet's voice yell from the hallway. I tensed before I turned away from Gajeel.

"Hide. Now." I rushed in a panic.

"Promise me we'll talk later." He grumbled seriously. I could hear knocking on the door.

"Fine." He kissed me hard again once more before darting to the window. He gave me a smirk and jumped out just as the door opened. I adjusted my clothes as Jet flicked on the light.

"What are you doing up here with the lights out?" He obviously had liquor in his system as he draped an arm around my shoulder. He smelled like perfume. I wanted to puke.

"Nothing. Are you okay?" I asked him. He had a hard look in his eyes as he smiled down at me.

"Nothing is bad. Me and the boys were wrestling around outside. Sorry about the sweat. Can you take me home?" He pulled me behind him after grasping my hand. He nearly stumbled down the stairs so I ducked under his arm. I caught eyes with Lucy and mouthed 'later'.

"I will drive you home. Come on." I guided the drunken Jet out the front door. It seemed as though the party was still rocking.

"Okay, baby." He tried to kiss my temple, but I looked down. Finding my car was easy, driving home was easy, sneaking Jet into his house was not. His dad was asleep on the couch as I attempted to guide him up the stairs and into his room. Once Jet was finally passed out on his bed, I dashed out of the house and into my car. I took a slow and deep breath as I sat in silence driving to my house.

I didn't sleep that night. I stared up at the ceiling of my room. I was thinking about Jet. I was thinking about what Gajeel said about Jet. I was thinking about Gajeel. Damn him.
