Before Rebecca knew, she had graduated 8th grade. She grew closer to Jimmy and his group of friends, so the year just seemed to fly by. Over the summer, she saw the gang every day. In fact, she hardly went home. She came to hate it there. Her parents were constantly fighting, and her father became an alcoholic.
Jimmy really wasn't one to comfort, though. Every time Rebecca met up with them when she was depressed, Jimmy just tried to convince her to get high. "It'll make you feel better," is what he would always tell her. It hadn't been until recently that Rebecca gave in. She hated to admit it, but Jimmy was right. The drugs did make her feel better.
It started off as Rebecca only shooting up when she was depressed, but then she started shooting up just because. Slowly but surely, her body longed for the sensation that came with getting high. By the final half of her summer, Rebecca never left what Jimmy called "the Underbelly." She had no idea what was going on at home, and she honestly didn't give a fuck anymore. All she knew was that Jimmy, Johnny, Tunny, Will, Theo, and Andrew were the closest things she had to a family now.
In what felt like the blink of an eye, summer was over and Rebecca and the others started high school. For freshman, the group actually had power. People knew who they were, and were popular amongst the punks, outcasts, druggies, and everyone who didn't want to be part of the preppy in crowd.
By mid-October, people were constantly rambling about the two major Halloween parties. One of the parties was going to be thrown by Heather, the slutty head cheerleader, and the other would be thrown by Jimmy. "You are bringing your ass to the party, right Wha—Becca?" Jimmy asked, smirking slightly.
Rebecca blushed slightly, considering that was the first time anyone besides her mother had called her Becca. Did he just call me something other than Whatsername? She thought to herself before even remembering Jimmy had asked her a question. "Of course. I wouldn't miss it, and you know that." She replied with a smile.
Truth is, she liked Jimmy. A lot. She'd liked him ever since they first met at Pritchard West. She never told anyone how she felt about him, though, and she didn't really plan on telling anyone any time soon. The only reason she would be going to the party is because he was throwing it, and she wanted to be around him as much as she could.
Finally, it was Halloween night. Rebecca was at home, putting the final touches to her costume on. It wasn't anything special. Actually, it really wasn't a costume at all. She was just wearing her favorite outfit: A black, short-sleeved, V-neck shirt, a black skirt, pink and black striped socks that went a little bit past her knees, close to her lower thigh, and her pink leather boots. Her hair had fresh hot pink highlights, and for once, she liked how she looked. She grabbed her cell phone and walked out the door, extremely anxious to get to the party and see what Jimmy had set up.
After about 15 minutes of walking, Rebecca finally got to the address that Jimmy had texted her. She could hear the music as she walked up the driveway and to the front door. The door was open, so she just walked in, her eyes scanning the room for Jimmy or her other friends. It was hard to see because of the lighting, plus it felt like everyone there was just insanely tall. Rebecca could tell that people brought beer; there was no way half of these people acted like they were acting on a daily basis. Plus, there was a guy that looked like he was going to make out with the lamp next to him at any given moment.
After walking around for twenty minutes, unsuccessfully searching for Jimmy, and having a few beers, Rebecca had to pee. She walked through a hallway and found what she hoped was the bathroom.
"What the fuck?" Rebecca yelled as she opened the door, finding Jimmy making out with Theo and Andrew.
Jimmy turned around quickly, leaning against the wall for support. "Oh, t-there you are, Becca." He slurred, clearly drunk.
Rebecca just stood there, staring at Jimmy, and then at Theo and Andrew, who were still making out with each other. "What the fuck, Jimmy?"
"What? At least you didn't walk in five minutes later… If y'know what I mean."
Rebecca's heart sunk. The guy she's liked, possibly even loved, for over a year was about to fuck two other guys. "I-I'm going home, Jimmy."
"B-Becca, but the party just started!" Jimmy said, stumbling towards her.
"I don't care…"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing that you'd care about. Just go on, go have fun fucking Theo and Andrew. I'm going home. Bye."
"Becca…"
"I fucking loved you, Jimmy." Rebecca blurted out, running away immediately after. I can't believe it. He's about to have a fucking threesome with two other guys, and I just told him I loved him. She thought as she downed another beer as she walked back towards the front door, running into someone on her way out.
"Oh, sorry…" she said, looking up to find Johnny standing in front of her.
"Hey, Becca." He smiled, quickly realizing something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing…" she lied, feeling herself starting to cry.
"C'mon, Becca. Something's clearly wrong. You can tell me." Johnny said, hugging her tightly.
Rebecca wrapped her arms around the boy, snuggling into his embrace. "I-I just walked in on Jimmy practically fucking Theo and Andrew…"
"Wait what?" Johnny asked, thoroughly confused, walking the two of them over to an empty space on the couch.
Rebecca sighed, looking away from Johnny. "I've liked Jimmy since I met him in 8th grade, and I just walked in on him making out with Theo and Andrew in the bathroom, and he said that if I had walked in five minutes later then I would have seen something completely different…"
"Becca, I'm so sorry…" Johnny said, his arms still wrapped tightly around Rebecca. "If you want, you can just stay here with me for the rest of the night. I don't mind."
"Thanks, Johnny… I'd like that…" Rebecca answered, snuggling closer to Johnny, placing a small kiss on the boy's lips.
