Chapter One: Love Ended Here Today
"So, I'll see you at lunch, right?" Augie asked Juliette. They had become increasingly close during the past few months and he was convinced that they were in love.
"As much as I'd like to be there ... I'm not feeling too good." Juliette confessed.
"Does Peter know?"
"Yeah. And he's fine with me missing out on lunch. It's just for one day." She could see the concern on his face.
"Are you going back to..."
"No. I promised to give it up for you remember? I love you Augie." Juliette embraced her boyfriend, pulling him aside so that they could share a secret kiss. "Don't worry about me. Go and have fun."
"Without you? That's impossible." He joked.
"Just go." Juliette demanded.
"See you." Augie walked away, feeling rejuvenated by their kiss, but feeling a little weird about Juliette being sick. Most of the time she wants me there when she's not feeling good. Why do I get the feeling that she was trying to get rid of me?
"Thank God." Juliette mumbled, walking back into her room and sitting down on her bed. I thought I'd never get rid of him.
"Where's Queenie?" Shelby questioned Augie as he walked over to their table, sitting across from Scott.
"Yeah, you guys have been attached to the hip lately." Ezra chimed in.
"She's not feeling good."
"Oh." Shelby smirked, focusing her attention on Scott and only Scott. Ever since they had started going out, no one else existed. Only Scott and Shelby seemed to matter.
Augie pushed his food around on his plate not because it was disgusting, which is was, but because seeing Scott and Shelby together made him miss Juliette even more. Kat was gone and other than his girl, there was no one else to talk to anymore. I have to go see her.
"I'm gonna go see how Jules is doing." And with that, he left.
"Wow. They're even more attached than you guys." Daisy commented to Shelby. "It was almost like he was running out of air and needed her to help him breathe or something."
"How bizzare." David commented, completely uninterested in the conversation. He was still bitter about Daisy's decision to take Ezra over him, but in a few weeks, all that would change.
"I almost thought you weren't coming." Juliette squealed, happy to see Alex. After dating Augie, she realized that she missed being with a guy that looked like her. Augie was great, but he wasn't exactly tall, dark, and handsome.
"You were worried?" He asked. "Come here." Alex pulled Juliette close to him, passionately kissing her.
"It's been a long time."
"I just saw you last night." He responded.
"I know but ... you know how I feel about you Alex. You've got everything that I want and more." Juliette kissed him back, moving closer and closer to her bed. "I..."
"Shhh." Alex shushed her, thrusting her onto the bed and kissing her neck hungrily. It didn't take long for them to notice that they weren't alone anymore.
"Jules," Augie began. "I ..." His voice trailed off as he realized that Juliette wasn't alone.
"Augie." Juliette whispered. She didn't even try and pretend like nothing happened. Damn.
"Aren't you gonna say it's not what you think?"
"But it is. I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of how you would react." She explained.
"And this was a better way of letting me know? What the hell were you thinking Jules?" Juliette, gave Alex one last kiss before making her way over to Augie.
"This isn't exactly a bad thing, you know. I mean ... there's room in my bed for everyone." She smiled, seductively, caressing Augie's arm. "You can watch me and Alex and then we can go ... It's just sex."
"Hell no. You're sick Jules. Real sick."
"Don't leave." She demanded.
"Why? How can we ever go back when I know that your nothing but a slut. Puta. Damn it Juliette."
"Wait." Juliette attempted to keep Augie by her side with a kiss.
"Get the fuck off me and stay the hell away for me, puta." Augie rushed out of Juliette's room.
"Are you sad now?" Alex asked, still waiting for her to come back to the bed. "Poor baby."
"Yeah." She mumbled, holding back tears. Augie's always been there for me. I think I'm in love with him.
"I'll make it better." Alex wrapped his arms around Juliette's waist.
"No." She whispered.
"Pretend like it's him, like I'm him. Jules."
"I can't do this anymore Alex."
"I know you want to." He persuaded her.
"No. Go." Juliette's voice cracked.
"Juliette, you called me here, remember?" She knew there was no reasoning with him when she got like this. Despite her protests and screams, he continued, taking her into the bathroom. He left her, crumbled on the floor, weeping.
Juliette pulled on her shirt and the remainder of her clothing, which had been ripped from her body. A combination between gagging sounds and wails of woe penetrated the room as Alex prepared to leave. She wasn't worth it anyway.
"Augie. Just the man I wanted to see." Peter escorted Augie to their group session as he continued to hold back his pain. "How's Juliette."
Augie cringed at her name. "She's still not doing too good."
"Sorry to here that." Sophie chimed in. As group came to a close, Augie kept his emotions on lock. A tear escaped his eye as Peter announced that group was over. "Hey Augie." He paused, hoping that he wasn't caught.
"Make sure to tell Juliette that we're going to have a new addition to our group." Augie nodded, making his way back to the bunks as quickly as possible. He didn't want to talk to anyone. He didn't want to think about it, but the more he didn't want to think about it, the more he did. "You can watch me and Alex and then we can go ... It's just sex." Juliette's words resounded in his head.
A/N: SO, what did you think? I'm not really into writing sex scenes or anything like that, but... do you guys hate Juliette now? For the whole plot of this story to work, I needed to first chapter to go exactly like it did. Hope you liked it and if you didn't, tell me how to make it better. -and the story will get better-
What to expect in Chapter Two: Courtney arrives, Juliette's condition, Scott and Shelby, and Augie's secret life
