So this is where the story moves forward from challenge day. I know that I touch on very sensitive topics but i have tried to be as sensitive but also as realistic as I can. Not one single person reacts the same way to trauma and loss. I hope you all like the way I progress with this story. Enjoy and please don't read this if you are not of age like 18 I think it is hahaha. Anyway there are lemons in this chapter.
Soul mates?
The smell of the joint had filled my car. The hand rolled joint hung between my fingertips as Kings of Leon Sex is on Fire softly played through the stereo. I pulled a long drag of the joint letting the sweet scent of the weed fill my lungs. I held it in my lungs for as long as possible before letting it escape from between my parted lips. I then passed the joint back to Garrett.
We didn't speak but just passed the joint between us both until it was finished. We had decided to get high after Challenge Day. I wasn't ready to go home to my mom and what awaited me there. Garrett didn't ask any questions but was always up to get high. We had parked my car near the woods that was always deserted.
"Garrett?" I turned my head to look at him. He turned his head towards me but his eyes were still closed. He hummed a response to me but when I didn't answer he opened his eyes to look at me. We looked at each other while none of us spoke. Garrett had hazel eyes. Depending on the day his eyes would appear more green than brown. Today they had settled between the two; green and brown with specks of gold almost. He had messy brown hair that curled slightly at the edges. Garrett was tall but not lankly. He had natural muscles that weren't noticeable because of the clothes he wore. His family couldn't afford brand name clothes but that never bothered him. It was then that I noticed just how good looking Garrett was. I saw what so many girls saw in him. It made me wonder what stopped me from seeing this. Was it Kate? Or was it that I was so fucking damaged I couldn't see anything good anymore?
"Bella" Garrett whispered but it wasn't a question. It was then that I noticed that Garrett had placed his hand on my knee and was rubbing soothing circles with his thumb.
"Do you think that we all only get one great love?" I wondered out loud. He didn't answer straight away, but instead actually thought about it.
"No…" Garrett paused while his had drifted further up my leg without even realising it. "There are multiple great loves out there or whatever you want to call it. You just have to believe it as well."
'Who knew you were a closet romantic?" I joked. But none of us laughed despite our high. The energy was tense and the car still had smoke drifting around us. It was kind of hazy and our breaths got shallower as his hand moved further up until he reached my upper thigh with his fingertips slightly edging between my thighs. He paused though and just looked at me. I didn't speak but rather let my legs part ever so slightly as permission.
Garrett didn't move at first but we were both panting now. Our breath making the windows fog. His hand finally moved. He drifted over the seam of my jeans before apply pressure between my legs. A slight gasp escaped my lips but we never broke eye contact. He used one hand to unbutton my jeans showing how experienced he is. He tugged at my jeans and I lifted my ass so he could pull them down. I knew this was wrong but I couldn't fucking stop. I craved it. I was a terrible fucking person.
He applied pressure to my lips over my panties. I arched up towards his hand. That was all the permission he needed before dipping his hand inside my panties. He rubbed circles over my clit and I moaned loudly. This only encouraged him further so he slipped a finger inside me. His thumb massaged my clit while his fingers moved inside me. I grinded against his hand and he grunted loudly.
"Fuck, Bella, you're so wet" He grunted but he didn't stop. I moaned and pushed my hips up against his hand.
"Please don't stop" I begged as another moan escaped from me. He moaned in response and I reached across the car and placed a hand over his boner. It was pushing against his pants. As he continued to massage my clit I freed him from his pants. He sprung free. Just the sight of it made me fucking wetter. I wrapped my hand around his shaft and pumped my hand up and down while circling the tip with my thumb. Garrett grunted and pushed himself further into my hands.
I felt my orgasm begin to build at the pit of my stomach. I could feel myself tightening around his fingers. I was so close but I didn't stop pumping my hand up and down his length. We had broken eye contact by now. I threw my head back against the head rest as my orgasm was getting so close. I was trying to hold it back until Garrett reached his as well.
"Let it go, Bella. Come for me" He husky voice broke through our loud pants and moans. That was all I needed. I felt myself clench around his fingers and I screamed loudly as I cum on his hand. It must have been my release that set Garrett off as I felt him twitch in my hand and he came. We didn't move for a while. Just basked in the bliss of our orgasms. I removed my hand from Garrett's now limp dick. I hadn't opened my eyes yet. I was scared of what I would find. Garrett removed his hand from my panties.
We both took our time pulling our pants up and attempting to clean ourselves up in the small space. I still hadn't looked at him. What the fuck did I just do?
"Bella, it's okay" He reassured me. I finally looked up at him. I couldn't speak. Kate.
"What did we just do, Garrett?" I panicked. I am not just a terrible fucking person. I am a terrible friend.
"Well, I feel it's a bit late to have the birds and the bees talk now, Bella" Garrett laughed. Against my will I felt a smile tug at my lips.
"That's not what I meant" I continued.
"Kate"
"Kate" I confirmed.
Nothing else was said. Instead I started the car and drove towards Garrett's house. The ride was filled with silence. I didn't dare to look at Garrett but I could hear him humming along to the radio. We finally made it to his house and I mumbled a goodbye to him.
"Bella, we will tell her tomorrow. I promise you that she will be okay" Garrett sounded confident but I wasn't so sure.
"Is it okay if I just tell her… on my own?" Kate deserved to hear it from me first. I know she and Garrett weren't exclusive and they both slept with other people. But she is my best friend. I need to tell her with it just being us. I would let her yell and scream if she needed but I couldn't lose her.
"Okay" Garrett said before shutting the car door and walk up towards his house.
I pulled out of the driveway and made my way home. After everything that had happened I completely forgot about having to face my mom. Fuck. I arrived home but I couldn't see my mom's car anywhere. I made my way inside but the house was dark. I wandered around the dark house and made my way into the kitchen. Sitting on the counter was a note. I picked it up and immediately noticed my mother's handwriting.
Bella,
I have gone into Seattle for the night with a few friends.
I'll see you tomorrow.
I scrunched the note up and threw it in the bin. I didn't bother messaging her but instead made my way up to my room and went to bed.
The drive to school the next day I was a fucking mess. I had slept in and barely even had time to shower before I dashed out of the house. I raced to school but my nerves were running fucking wild. I had to tell Kate. I needed to tell her. I had fucked up already I didn't need to lie as well. As I pulled in the school car park I saw Kate laughing with our friend. I felt as though I had been winded. No avoiding now.
"Shit" I muttered under my breath as I got out of the car. I made my way over to them and Garrett saw me first. He offered me a small smile before turning back to whatever Carmen was saying.
"Hey guys" I greeted them before turning to Kate. I was just going to dive straight fucking in. I couldn't stand here and act like I wasn't a shit friend.
"Kate?" I turned towards her and she smiled a big smile at me.
"Yeah, babe" But when she saw the look on my face the smile faded from her face.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" I didn't dare to look at Garrett or the others. She didn't say anything but just followed me to a few feet away where no one could hear us.
"Bella darling, what's wrong?" Why did she have to be so fucking nice? This would be so much easier if she was a bitch. Fuck. Here goes nothing.
"Garrett and I hooked up." Geez I really was just diving straight in. Kate didn't say anything just looked at me. Normally Kate was so easy to read. She wore her heart on her sleeve. But right now she had the best fucking poker face.
"I mean we didn't fuck but we might as well have. I don't even know why I am trying to explain it to you. I can't justify my actions. I'm a shit friend and…"
"Bella, stop" Kate said. I immediately shut the fuck up and waited for her to say something. I would wait all day if I had to. Shit, I would wait forever if it meant I didn't lose her.
"I know, babe." Fucking Garrett. Opened his big fucking mouth even though he agreed I could tell her first. Absolute fucking dick.
"I mean I always knew that something would eventually happen between you two." Kate explained with a smile. Now I was just confused as fuck. It must have shown on my face because Kate began to laugh at me.
"Oh, sweet Bella!" She laughed. "I know Garrett is a horny fucker. And as much as you try to hide it, babe, you are too."
"Kate, I am so sorry" I pleaded.
"I forgive you." Kate said seriously. I couldn't fucking believe it. I was right. She was too good to be true. I didn't deserve a friend like her. Instead of saying all this I hugged her tightly. I didn't think she would hug me back. That maybe she was mad even though she said she wasn't. But instead she just hugged me tightly back.
"I'm sorry" I whispered. Kate pulled away and laughed again.
"Stop apologising. I forgave you before it even happened. You guys have always had sexual tension between you both. I am just glad you go it out of the way now. Don't want you fucking him when he has put a ring on my finger." She smiled as she looked over at Garrett and she twinkled her fingers at me. I smiled at her; grateful that I had lost a friend as good as her.
"Your love for each other is something that I will never understand" I confessed. Kate just laughed at me again before walking over to Garrett and draping her arm around him. She whispered something in his ear and they both laughed.
I made my way over to them but was stopped by Rosalie.
"Bella, I just wanted to make sure you were still coming over today. I think it will be good," Rosalie rambled. It was odd watching her fucking squirm. She was always so sure of her-fucking-self.
"I said I would be there didn't I, Princess?" I smirked. Yesterday had changed Rosalie.
"You're a real bitch, you know that?" And the Ice Queen had returned. About fucking time.
"I'll meet you at yours, Rosalie" I smiled at her before making my way into the school. Nervous and unsure did not suit Rosalie Hale. She was confident and a fucking bitch and I don't want yesterday to change those great qualities about her.
The rest of the school day passed in a blur. I didn't pay much attention in class. After the last couple of days I was drained; mentally and fucking emotionally. I hadn't realised how tired I was until the end of the day. I just wanted to curl up into a ball and sleep. But I couldn't do that. I still had an evening to spend at Rosalie's.
I dragged my feet to my car and my fingers automatically grazed the side softly. It was a sort of greeting to Christine. I got inside and just sat in the car for a brief moment. I lit a cigarette to calm myself for the evening that was in store for me. I started the drive towards Rosalie's but noticed a small figure walking on the side of the road. Alice Brandon.
I slowed the car down next to her and rolled my window down.
"Brandon!" I called out to her. Her tiny little head shot up and she looked around to see who called. She spotted me in the car and timidly made her way over. When she finally got next to the car she just looked at me but didn't speak. Fuck me, she was going to make me do all the talking.
"Get in" I said as I reached across and flung open the passenger car door. She just looked at me shocked. But she didn't argue with me. Instead she just folded herself neatly into my car before shutting the door quietly.
"Thanks" She said softly.
"Don't thank me yet. We still have a long fucking night ahead of us, Brandon" I said to her but to myself as well.
Review, Favourite, Follow!
DON'T HATE ME! I know that Garrett and Bella romance is not what you guys signed up for. But I am certain that Kate and Garrett will end up together. So do not fear. What happened between them was a way for Bella to forget about all the shit that she has gone through. To try and maybe move on or at least see if she is capable of that. Anyway the next chapter will be in the next week. I have been updating more frequently now. The next chapter will be full of the gang. I am sure that is more what you guys want to read. But I needed to get this stuff out of the way before I focused a lot more solely on the gang. I'll stop now because I am rambling but I shall update soon. And don't forget to review and let me know what you think!
