Chapter 5 ~Love, Loss, and A Little Bit of Lust~

Not being able to stand it much longer, you just ran out of the room and up several flights of stairs to the rooftop. You sat down once there and looked out at Whammy's grounds and the city beyond. You didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly you felt someone sit down next to you. Without looking up, you knew it could only be one person because this was your special place. You turned and buried your head in Matt's chest and cried for a long time, as he stroked your back, allowing you to probably ruin his shirt. That's ok though, he probably has a million other identical shirts you thought to yourself.

Sniffing, you looked up at Matt and whimpered, "I don't want to go Matt. Whammy's is the only place I have ever felt happy and safe. They can't make me can they?"

"Don't worry baby, they won't. Mel, Erin and I would never let them force you do something you don't want to do. You're too important to us. We love you." Matt comforted you with those simple words. You looked up into Matt's eyes and knew that everything would be alright. You felt safe there in his arms. He looked back down into your eyes and you noticed that his eyes were full of an emotion you couldn't exactly place, but when his lips touched yours, all questions you had were forgotten.

The kiss started out tender and sweet, but being a human who wasn't a Cullen, you eventually needed air. When your lips connected again, Matt smirked into it and licked your lower lip, asking for entrance. You smirked right back and denied him what he wanted. Sooner than you expected, or wanted, Matt pulled back and, luckily, seconds later, attacked you neck with kisses and licks. He found your sensitive spot almost instantly and began sucking and nipping at it, causing you to moan loudly. Seeing this as his chance, Matt slipped his tongue into your mouth and began exploring every corner with it, making you moan into the kiss.

"Matt when I find you, I swear I will fucking…WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO BECCA?" you two heard Mello scream and froze. It was only then that you noticed the position Mello and Erin had just found you in probably looked really bad. You were straddling Matt and his hands were on your hips, nearly grabbing your ass.

"Well Mel, we were doing exactly what it looked like, making out. Well that is until you two so rudely interrupted us," Matt replied simply. Mello and Erin just looked at you two, causing you to blush and get off of Matt's lap. Matt just rolled his eyes at Mello and stood up as well. Without another word, which was an odd occurrence, the four of you walked back downstairs and to your rooms. As soon as you closed your bedroom door behind you, Erin began to giggle like mad. Once she had composed herself, she just sat on her bed smirking at you.

"What's the smirk for?" you asked her while sitting in your bed, even though you knew exactly why she was smirking. Considering what she had walked in on only a few minutes before, it wasn't too hard to figure out.

"Ok DISH GIRL! FUCKING DISH!" she nearly burst with excitement.

After taking a few seconds to calm down and compose yourself, you said, "Well, like Matt said, it was exactly what it looked like. We were making out on the rooftop, simple as that."

"No, that's not what I mean," she said giving you one of 'those looks'. "I mean what happened to lead up to that? What did he say? How long had you two been kissing? Was he GOOD?"

"Ummm let me see then if that's what you want to know. Well…ok so first I was sitting on the roof, just looking out to the city and Matt came up and sat down next to me. I just turned to him and cried on his shoulder for a long time, I kinda lost track of how long we were like that though. Anyway, when I calmed down I told him I didn't want to leave everyone and he comforted me by saying that he wouldn't let them take me. I don't even know how it happened after that. We were just looking into each others' eyes and it just HAPPENED. It started off sweet and then turned hotter…and then you and Mello walked in. O and by the way…HE WAS VERY GOOD!" you answered all of her questions. "But what took you and Mello so long to find us? You knew exactly where we'd be. The roof is where Matt and I always go to hang out together."

This caused Erin to blush profusely. "Ummm…well…you see…" she stuttered, causing you to smirk. "Ok since you told me, I guess I've got to tell you. So when you ran off, Matt kinda flipped at Roger and that couple. Gave them all the finger and a little 'fuck you' and ran off to find you. Mello and I figured if anyone could calm you down, it would be Matt, so we went back to their room to wait for you two. After a little while of just waiting, and two bags of poprcoks and a chocolate bar later, we were making out on the bed. It pretty much started off hot cuz Mello's not exactly the gentle kind who'll take it slow, and things just progressed from there. Mello had his hand up my shirt and was rubbing my stomach…when Near walked in…the little mother fucker. But Mello was AHMAZING and he even tasted like chocolate…no better than chocolate." The end of her story legit caused you to laugh out loud. Of course that little creepy son of a bitch would walk in at precisely the wrong time, inconveniencing everyone involved. It's just a THING he does…and one of the many reasons why all four of you hate him so much.

"OMG THAT SOOO HOT! Well cept for the Near part of course…I hope the little fucker get's fucked up the ass by something hard and sandpapery for disturbing you two. But still, SOOOOOO cute. Looks like we both had good afternoons…in love that is. We still have to figure out the whole me-being-adopted thing." You said all of this in a rush, still excited about you and Matt and the Erin, Mello news was the icing on the cake.

"Ya I know, it's an exciting night! But don't worry, we'll figure something out." Erin responded.

"Ya Becca, don't worry bout it. We're not gonna let those little fuckers take you away from your fucking home. I'll be damned if I ever let shit like that happen to my friend." Mello announced, as him and Matt walked into your room, unannounced as normal. Mello sat down on Erin's bed and pulled her into his lap and Matt sat down next to you, putting his arm around your waist.

"Like I said earlier," Matt whispered in your ear, "we won't let that happen because we love you. All of us do."

It had been about a week and, seeing none of you had come up with a plan that could even possibly work, it was the night before you would leave. Mello and Erin had been officially going out since the morning after they had first made out. You and Matt didn't go any further with your relationship because you both knew that you would have to leave soon anyway. A relationship would just have made it harder on you both. There had been a huge good-bye party for you that afternoon, and everybody at Whammy's attended. But now, it was time for just you, Erin, Matt and Mello to spend your last night together as a group. You were all in the boys' room reminiscing about all the good times you had shared together since the day Matt saved you. I will admit, a lot of the best times usually resulted in Near crying about a new toy being broken or how you had all humiliated him. Mello and Erin sat together on Mello's bed, and you were on Matt's lap on the little love seat they had by their TV. It was very late and even thought you didn't want to fall asleep, you couldn't keep your eyes open for much longer. Noticing this, Matt whispered in your ear, "Hey tomorrow after you say your good-byes, right before you leave, meet me on the roof. I want to say good-bye to you and we need to talk, just you and me, up there one last time."

"Of course I will Matt," you responded sleepily. "I wouldn't want to say good-bye to you any other way. Well I don't want to say goodbye, but it's the best way, you know?"

"I understand baby. Now go to sleep, your exhausted, I can tell," he whispered, kissing the top of your head, and you went straight to sleep. Matt noticed Erin and Mello asleep together in Mello's bed, and couldn't help but chuckle a bit. He picked you up and laid you in his bed. After taking his cotton shirt off (he only sleeps in pj pants) Matt climbed in bed next to you. You spent that night in bed with him just as you had that night about a week ago.

The next morning was harder than you could have ever imagined. Most of the goodbyes weren't too hard on you, but when it came time to say goodbye to Mello and Erin, you lost it completely.

"Mello, I'm gonna miss you a hell of a lot, you know that right? I'm not gonna have anyone to get all pissed off at people and shit for no reason to keep me entertained anymore. And nobody else is as good at scheming, against people like Near, as you are. I'm really gonna miss you, and yes, even the getting hit in the head with flying chocolate." You said trying not to cry, and gave Mello a huge, bone-crushing hug.

"I'm obviously not a very emotional person, so all I gotta say is this, I'm going to miss u a hell of a lot too, you crack-whore, and you know how much that means coming from me." He returned the hug and you laughed through the tears that began to spill. Of course you knew how much that meant coming from Mello. He was right. He wasn't and emotional person, so that simple sentence was more than enough for you. Oh, and the crack-whore thing was a term of endearment between you two. Just the way you were. But now it was time to say goodbye to Erin.

Shoving her bag of poprcoks at Mello, Erin threw her arms around you. "OMG girl I love you so much and you have to text, call, and/or email me EVERYDAY. Got it? Like you are legit like a sister to me and it's gonna be insane living here without you. I can't even imagine it!" Hearing this coming from your 'sister' so to speak, was fucking hard for you and you hugged her back, just nodding to everything she said.

"Oh shit guys, I gotta go! I told Matt I'd meet him of the roof like now! I'll be back in a little bit with him," you called over your shoulder as you dashed up the stairs to go see Matt one last time. What you saw when you opened the door broke your heart into a million pieces.

Matt was laying down with Destiny on top of him. He was wearing his simple red polo shirt, unbuttoned all the way exposing his banging body, with a pair of dark jeans. It was the only thing he would wear besides his usual outfit because he knew it was your favorite thing to see him in. To you it was quite obvious that Destiny had just finished licking, or kissing, some part of his perfect torso (abs, nipples, or whatever you couldn't tell). What was worse was that the lollipop that Matt usually had in his mouth was in Destiny's left hand and a bouquet of red roses and pink lilies (your favorite) were lying on the ground next to the two. You gave a dry sob and the two of them looked over at you. Destiny seemed pleased with herself and just smirked. Matt, on the other hand, looked guilty, sad, and possibly heartbroken? You really didn't give a shit at this point.

"ASSHOLE!" you screamed and ran back down the way you came. Was this really why he wanted to see me? You thought to yourself as you ran back to the Jennings' car. Just to break my heart like that?

LONGEST CHAPTER SO FAR! Sry its been so long. I've had midterms all this week so I've been studying like crazy. But they ended 2day so I'm celebrating with posting my longest chapter so far. My BFFL Erin wanted a bigger part in this chapter so I added a lot as well. Hope you enjoyed it =] PLEASE review and tell me what you think about this so far. Likey or no? Oh and I just want to clear a few things up for now. In this story, Mello is addicted to chocolate (obviously), Erin is addicted to poprcoks, gum is my addiction, and Matt is addicted to lollipops (which leads into the cancer stix he's addicted to later on. it shall all be explained in due time my friends). Ok so that should clear everything up. Any other questions feel free to ask 3
