Long Lost

I moved after the night out with everyone. My father drove me to my mother's where my brother was waiting. My brother and my father helped me unpack my things. My mother was calm the entire time that my father and brother were there, but as soon as they left, she walked into my room and started to yell at me, slurring her words. I couldn't understand what she was yelling which made it a bit more stressful. She had been drinking before we got there and during the time that we were unpacking, so I knew something bad was going to happen. When she yelled at me, she had also come at me with an empty bottle of vodka. And because of that I ran into my brother's old room that still had the lock on it and locked the door. It took a while for her to calm down and stop yelling. When she did, she fell asleep on the couch in the living room. I left my brother's old room then snuck into my room quietly.

I sat on my bed and sighed. I jumped as I heard the vibrations of my phone. I got off of my bed and went to my black desk then picked up my vibrating cell phone. It was Jade. I smiled and answered it.

"Hi, Jade," I said into the phone.

"You alright?" she asked.

I felt like lying to her. So I did by saying: "Yeah, everything's great. My mom's asleep and all my stuff is unpacked."

"Are you lying to me?" Jade asked, suspicious of my answer.

"No, Jade, I'm not lying to you," I laughed with a hint of nervousness into the phone.

Jade just called to talk. She told me that she already missed me and I told her that I missed her. I wasn't lying that time. I really did miss her. She was one of the most important people to me. And now I was alone, with just my mother who hated every fiber in me and only wanted me back to clean up after her.

Jade had to hang up after a while of talking with me. She said that she had a project to do with Cat who was already at her house. She even let Cat talk to me for a little bit before she hung up.

The next day I woke up to go to school, to go to the school that I went to before going to Hollywood Arts. When I was on my way there, my mother pulled up to the sidewalk in her car. She yelled at me to get in the car. She didn't take me to school. She took me back home then dragged me out of the car by my right arm. I tried to get away, but she dug her manicured nails into my arm.

Some people might ask what the neighbors thought of that. Our neighbors were busy people. They were always at work. There were no children either, so they couldn't say anything.

At some point, I pushed her away from me and ran into the house to hide. I ran into my brother's room and tried to lock it, but the locks were gone. I panicked. I ran for the window. It was too late, though. My mother ran in and got to me. She grabbed the back of my shirt, pulled me away from the window, threw me to the ground, and started to punch all over my body. I grunted and clutched my stomach with my hands when my mother hit me there. She punched my head and I grabbed my head. It was a barrage of blows to my body that I couldn't even see. My mother eventually gave up on hitting me and yelled that I forgot to clean the kitchen as she was leaving. I slinked to my bedroom and got on my bed. I didn't cry. Not even while she was beating me.

I didn't go to school that day or for a few days after that. I stayed in my room, cleaned everything in the house to avoid being beaten, and called Jade every day when she was out of school which was at three. If I didn't call however, Jade would call me.

"Hi, Jade," I sighed into my phone as I cleaned the kitchen counters with a wet, soapy sponge.

"Something wrong?" Jade asked.

"No," I answered, "I'm just cleaning the kitchen." I laughed a bit when Jade groaned. "I love you," I whispered after I looked around the kitchen.

"I love you, too," Jade said back, "but I hate that I haven't seen you in days."

"I hate that, too," I agreed.

Jade was quiet for a few minutes. I almost asked if she was still there. Jade said before I could ask, "I want you to look outside your front door for a little bit."

"Why?" I asked suspicious of her reasoning. I set the sponge down on the counter and walked to the living room then to my front door anyway. I opened it and dropped my hands to my sides almost dropping my phone.

Jade smirked at me from leaning on her car's passenger's side in front of my mother's house. Her right arm was under her breasts with her hand on her left hands upper arm. Her left hand fell from her left ear that held her cell phone. I hung up then ran over to her. She opened her arms and caught me in them from around the waist. I dug my face into Jade's neck and breathed in her smell. Jade put her lips on my head and kissed my head.

"Why are you here?" I asked pulling my head away from her neck.

"Sikowitz gave me your mom's address, so I wanted to come see you," Jade answered, snickering.

Jade's hands slipped down my sides to my hips. She leaned down then kissed me. I kissed back.

When Jade pulled away she said, "I brought Cat with me. She's at the hotel, though."

"Hotel?" I questioned.

Jade raised her left eyebrow. "I'm not staying at your mom's place," She said. She pushed off of the car. "Let's go."

I pulled away from her. "I can't," I said. I then explained, "My mom will kill me if I don't finish cleaning."

"Then let's finish cleaning," Jade shrugged and started walking toward my mom's house.

"You'd help me?" I inquired, following after her.

She walked into my house and looked around. "It smells like cigarettes and alcohol in here," Jade criticized scrunching her face up in disgust.

"I know," I sighed. I lead her to the kitchen that was slightly clean.

Jade and I started to clean the kitchen as quietly as possible. Everything was clean within an hour. My mother would usually let me leave if everything was clean and she wasn't angry. She was sleeping, though, so everything was alright.

Jade led me into a fancy hotel and took me into a hotel room. Jade opened the door for me then let me go inside before her. I heard a squeal and someone hugged me from my right side. I smelt strawberries and saw the top of a head that had red velvet dyed hair on the top of it. It was Cat and she had come from the bathroom that was just inside the door and to the right. She let go of me so I could turn and look at her. She hugged me around the neck and giggled and laughed.

"Hi, Cat," I said as I hugged back. Jade smirked at me from behind Cat.

"Alright, alright," Jade said, walking to the two beds farther into the room, "Let go of my girlfriend Cat."

Cat let me go, still giggling. I walked over to the bed that Jade was sitting on and she put her left arm around my waist. I leaned into her with a groan as I tried to relax against her. Cat sat on the bed across from us and stared at us giggling every few seconds.

"What's so funny?" Jade asked raising an eyebrow at her.

"You guys have had sex, right?" Cat asked, her face questioning us.

I looked up at Jade then back down at Cat. Jade looked at Cat and said, "Yeah, we have."

Cat went into a fit of laughter. When she stopped laughing she fell back onto her bed and sighed. "You guys were each other's first's?" Cat asked.

"Yes…" Jade stretched out the word. I knew she was wondering why Cat was asking those questions. I was wondering, too.

Cat sat up and looked at both of us. "Guess what," Cat said then smiled with her brilliantly white teeth.

"What?" Jade and I asked at the same time.

"I had sex with Tori," Cat said then giggled out of control again.

Jade and I were quiet. I looked up at Jade who had her eyebrows raised at Cat. "That's what you were giggling about the entire car ride here?" Jade asked a bit annoyed. Cat nodded.

I looked back to Cat. "Why did you have sex with her?" I asked almost choking on my words.

"I was at her house for a sleepover and she kept getting really close to me," Cat said. Cat smiled, "She was asking about you guys and was saying stuff like 'I wonder what it's like to have sex with a girl.' So I kind of asked her if she wanted to try it." Cat giggled.

"You had sex with her just like that?" Jade asked. "She's easy?"

"I guess," Cat shrugged.

"Was she your first?" Jade shifted a bit. I was thinking that she felt as uncomfortable as I did, which was weird. Usually Jade was dark or made it into a joke.

"No," Cat shook her head, "I've had sex before."

My eyes went wide. "With who?" I asked.

"Myself," Cat smiled.

Jade relaxed and grunted, "Then she was your first." Jade whispered to herself, "Stupid."

"What do you mean? I've used my fingers on myself before," Cat looked offended when she spoke.

"That's called masturbating," Jade said, "When you have sex it's with someone else."

Cat gave a confused look to us, but nodded slowly anyway. Jade sighed, closing her eyes. I looked up at her and giggled. I pecked her lips. Jade smirked and pushed me on my back against the bed. Her knees were on the outside of my thighs with her hands flat against the bed above my shoulders. She kissed me deeply. Cat giggled behind Jade. I tried to get Jade to get off of me, but Jade refused to budge. She nipped at my neck then tickled my sides. I started to laugh. She chuckled at my pained laughter.

"Jade." I said, starting my plead for mercy, "Stop. Please." Air became scarce in my lungs and I began to gasp. "Jade, I can't breathe!" I shouted still laughing. I kicked my legs between her legs.

She stopped then grabbed her crotch. She fell off to the side and groaned. "My dick," Jade grunted. She closed her eyes tight. I sat up and turned my body toward hers. "You kicked me in the dick, Anna," Jade stated.

"Jade, I'm sorry," I said laughing some. It was kind of funny. Not that she was hurt, but that I hit her in the dick.

Cat went to get some ice. I sat next to Jade who was trying to relax with her back against the headboard of the bed. I looked at Jade with sorry eyes. She had her right hand between her open legs cupping the crotch of her pants. She had her eyes closed only to open them when Cat walked into the room. Cat held a small sack of ice in her right hand. She smiled to us then trotted the ice to Jade. Jade took it, unzipped her pants and tucked it in under her package. I laughed a bit and Jade seemed to sigh in relief at the numbing power of the ice.

"You're so lucky I love you," Jade said slouching against the headboard.

I smiled at her sitting in front of her like a puppy. She reached forward and patted my head. I smiled weakly at her.

"I hurt your dick, though," I said.

"And that's why you're lucky I love you," Jade smirked. She dropped her hand from my head and closed her eyes leaning her head back onto the headboard of the bed.
