I turned over in my bed sighed. I had a huge headache and my body was sore. I groaned then stood from my bed and stretched. I looked around my room and saw Claude in my bed. Fear rushed through my body and I ran over to him. I plucked his ear and he smiled. I put lips to his ear and bit it.
"Get up"I said softly. I did this for like five minutes then he grabbed me and pulled me into my bed.
"Mm you smell good"Claude said and I hit him.
"You gotta go"I said and he yawned.
"What time is it?"Claude asked and I shrugged.
"Time for you to go"I said and he kissed my cheek.
"Last night was nice"Claude said and I scoffed.
"Okay now go"I said and he sighed.
"Can I please just stay?"Claude asked and I sighed.
"And tell my mom what that you stay over, um no thanks I had that talk before not pleasant"I said and he sighed.
"Fine, I'll go, but I'll be back later"Claude said and I nodded.
"Okay, but come at like two"I said and he nodded. We got dressed and I walked him downstairs.
"I guess this bye until later?"Claude asked and I nodded.
"Bye"I said and he kissed my cheek.
"I really did have fun last night"Claude said and I nodded.
"Yeah it was nice, and no sex, you didn't think that could happen did you?"I asked and he shook his head no.
"I have fun with you every time we're together"Claude said and I blushed.
"All right, bye"I yawned and he smiled.
"Bye"Claude said and I walked back into my house. I yawned and walked into my room then plunged into my soft cozy bed. I didn't go back to sleep though, I couldn't thanks to Claude. I laid in my bed thinking about everything that happened yesterday and last night. Claude and I breaking up after softball practice. Gunner telling me he liked and that he always has. Claude seeing Gunner and I kiss, Claude walking me home, then kissing me. My uncle coming to town and needing a singer, then me telling him about Pyro. Pyro telling me how much he wanted to get back with and then me staying half the night with him, until I started thinking about Claude. Me walking home and seeing Claude, ending our break up and us cuddling in my this morning. I sighed and turned on my stomach, Claude was always on my mind and I didn't know why. I sat up and sighed. My hair fell over my face and I smelt it, I almost choked on it. It still smelt like mixed berry shampoo. I rubbed my forehead and walked into my closet. I grabbed my clothes for this evening and sighed. My phone rang, it was Pyro because his tone was Time To Win by Down With Webster. I ran to it answered it.
"Hi"I said and he yawned.
"Just making sure you were okay"Pyro said and I blushed.
"You're sweet"I said and he laughed.
"Anything for my girlfriend"Pyro said and the memory of last night played in my head. I cursed mentally, great now you have to boyfriends.
"Yeah"I said and he sighed.
"You got back together with Claude didn't you?"Pyro said and I laughed forcefully.
"Is it that obvious?"I asked and he hummed.
"Yeah, but why did you stay the night with me, I mean you could've stayed home with him, instead of leading me on"Pyro said and I sighed.
"Pyro I love you but I love Claude too. I can't just stop loving one of you its not me"I said and he sighed.
"Spencer, why are friends?"Pyro asked and I sighed.
"We've been friends since third grade and I love you, and I know you love me too"I said and he groaned.
"Spencer you don't love me. If you loved me you wouldn't do stuff like this to me"Pyro said and I was taken back. I sat on my bed and cried. He was right, I do treat him bad, like I don't love him, like a stray dog with rabbies.
"I'm gonna call you back"I said then hung up the phone. I stared at the tree next to my window and sighed, the bat was there again. I walked over to my window and closed my curtains. I fell back into my bed and grabbed my phone. I had a plan, it wasn't necessarily a good one but it was a plan.
I walked into my room showered, shampooed and conditioned with my towel around my body. I grabbed my clothes and put them on. I had my bleached skinny jeans, my white and black Converse, my black and white plaid shirt, with a black tank top underneath. I blow dried my hair and did it the same as last night. I walked downstairs and groaned. My uncle Sam and mom were at the island in the kitchen. They turned to me in shock and I groaned again.
"Spencer where are you going?"my mom asked and I groaned.
"To break off with someone"I said and they stared at me concerned.
"You don't mean Claude do you?"my mom asked and I shrugged.
"I don't know yet, I'm just tired of us, I think we need a break, plus he cheated on me with Cindy, which doesn't help his case"I said and she stared at me.
"Its okay mom I'm gonna be fine"I said and she stared at me hand, yes I had his ring on.
"You do know you have to give him back his ring"my mom said and I nodded.
"Yeah, but to tell you the truth I really have no idea how and what I'm doing"I said and grabbed a pear from the fridge. I sighed and walked into the TV room. Sam walked behind me and handed me his keys.
"Here take this"Sam said and I laughed.
"Yeah right I'm good with walking"I said and he shook his head at me.
"Its your birthday present"Sam said and I laughed.
"Yeah right"I said and he smiled at me.
"Its the trunk"Sam said and I nodded. I walked outside and opened his trunk to find a Gibson SG white guitar with an amp, chord book, case, strap, and picks. I grinned at my present brought it inside.
"Thank you soo much"I said and hugged him.
"You're welcome plus I got it free, from this guy when his music shop went out of business"Sam said and squeezed him one last time.
"I gotta go or I'll be late"I said and ran upstairs then placed my stuff on the floor. I grabbed my bag and sighed. Here we go.
I got to the park where I'd be meeting the guys. I sighed and sat on the slide and sighed again.
"Why is being with someone so hard?"I groaned and sighed. I thought a boyfriend was supposed to help not make stuff worse and complicated. I closed my eyes and thought about everything. I heard someone cough and I opened my eyes. It was Claude. He smiled at me and I half smiled at him.
"Hi"Claude said and I waved.
"Were you waiting for someone else?"Claude asked and I nodded.
"Who?"Claude asked and Gunner walked behind him with white roses in his hand. He looked like so sexy in his white dress shirt, black straight legged jeans, all white Converse, and black narrow tie. He smiled at me and I waved back him.
"What's he doing here?"Claude asked and I shushed him. Gunner walked up to me and smiled hugely with his perfect smile that made me, and about every girl at school melt. He handed me the roses and stuck his hands into his pockets. The whole time he was noticing me he didn't even so much as glance at Claude, but he did notice him. Pyro was the last to come, in his usual, black skinny jeans, chains and studded belts hanging from his waist, his all black high top Converse, and his black To Write Love On Her Arms t-shirt. At this point every one was wondering why they were all on a date with me at the same time.
"Guys listen I know you all like me, some of you may even say you love me but we all know we can't all be in a relationship"I said and they all sighed. I walked up to Gunner and placed my hand on his cheek. I kissed him and pulled away slowly.
"Gunner I'm sorry, we're not going work out"I said and he knitted his eye brows together. He parted his lips but didn't speak. I walked back to Claude and grabbed his hands.
"Claude I love you"I said and he smiled" but us isn't working and I'm sorry"I added and he frowned. He grabbed my face in his hands and parted his lips.
"I love you too Spencer but it seems your mind is made up and I can't change. But can I ask you something serious?"Claude said and I nodded" Why did you do what you did last night? Did it mean nothing to you?"he added and tears streamed down my face.
"Claude last night was nice and amazing but it wasn't right for me to give a third chance right after we broke up, and it meant a lot to me truly"I said and kissed his cheek. I moved my lips to his ear then parted then"Good bye Claude I will always love you"I added and he nodded. I stepped next to Pyro who wasn't happy, he knew that I always had a trick up my sleeve and wasn't about to start celebrating early. I grabbed his chin in my fingers and sighed. "I love you, I've always loved you since head start"I said and he smiled but not his usual oh-yeah-I'm-the-man smile, it was an eager happy smile, that was genuine. "I loved being with you, you holding me, kissing me, caressing my bare skin and I just love you point blank"I said and he kissed with all the passion he had in his body. He pulled away and smiled his huge perfect smile gazing into my blue eyes with his pale brown ones.
