Jeremiah POV
So I show up at Belly's dorm after final exams, which, by the way, were a lot harder than hers. Anika answers the door and catches me off guard, but I smile for her. Then Taylor starts telling me why Anika's here and screws up her words. I almost thought she said break up, but when Anika shoots her a look, I get suspicious. Just then Belly comes out of the bathroom in an extremely cute yellow sundress, which matches her personality so well.
I go up and hug her, complimenting that she looks cute today, but then she cuts me off and pulls away. "What the hell Jere!" she screamed so loudly it rung in my ears.
I had no idea what to do or say so I just stood there dumbfounded. Belly dropped to the ground and cried long sobs. Next thing I know, Anika and Taylor are at her side hugging her and comforting her. They were both asking what was wrong when I stuck my hand in my pocket and heard something crunch.
The room became silent and I thought to myself 's***!' Belly got up and reached into my pocket, oh no!
Taylor POV
Anika and I were watching how cute Belly and Jeremiah looked when they hugged and next thing I knew Belly was backing away and swore at Jere. This time Anika and I shared a look of pure terror.
Belly just broke down, crying hysterically while Jeremiah stood there looking like an idiot. We rushed over and questioned what was wrong. All of a sudden Jeremiah made a noise and the room fell silent.
Anika POV
Belly started yelling at Jere out of nowhere then fell to the ground and sobbed. Tay and I rushed over and dropped to her side, asking what was wrong. Jeremiah stuck his hand in his pocket, something crunched, and everything became ghostly silent. Oh god, I have a feeling this next scene wasn't going to be pretty, Taylor felt the same way. We saw Jeremiah cringe and then glanced at each other.
Belly POV
I immediately stopped crying and looked at Jere. Silently, I stood up and stuck my hand in his pocket. He was tense and his jaw was twitching. I pulled out what had made the noise and stared down at it. Nobody knew what it was except Jeremiah, Tay and Anika didn't see. I clenched it in my other fist, looked up, raised my hand, and slapped him. It was so hard that his face was red. I heard the girls gasp behind me. I knew that I smelled perfume on you, not mine. I unclenched my fist and looked down at the piece of trash that started all this. An empty condom wrapper. I didn't think his hook-up had gone that far.
Taylor and Anika got up and took the wrapper from my hand. I could just tell they were shocked, but also fed up. Taylor slapped the other side of his face and Anika punched him in the gut. I had never seen that side of her, I kind of liked it.
Jeremiah POV
I doubled over, nursing my cheek. I never knew Belly could hit that hard. Taylor on the other hand, I knew she had it in her. My stomach really hurt, especially with rock-hard abs. Anika was the sweetest and most religious girl I knew and I never expected her to do that.
"I never…" I managed to spit out.
"Never say never!" All three girls yelled. Belly, knowing what I was gonna say, said "well, you should have expected it!"
Damn, I should have covered it up better. It's extremely hard dating a girl a grade lower than you. I never knew how Conrad could do it, him being four years older than Belly. The pressure finally got to me, I knew I would never compare to Conrad, so I went for it, not expecting Belly to find out. It was with Courtney Bosch, the smokin' hot girl a grade or two (ok, maybe two) older than me. She had tricks I knew Belly would never come close to. I could tell she was attracted to me, so right after finals, I took her to my dorm and we did it. She was so loud! Belly would have been so quiet. The last thing I wanted to do was make her pregnant, so I wore protection and was totally careless putting it in my pocket.
I had no clue what to do so I just got up and left, tears streaming down my face. Belly ran after me and pulled my arm. I thought I was forgiven.
Well guess what, I thought too soon. There was hurt all over her face and her eyes were like black holes. She took my hand and slapped the trash into it.
"What, you thought I was supposed to dispose of your trash that wasn't even used on me?"
"I guess I'm not forgiven?"
"Ugh! You pig. Get out of here before someone's gonna have to call an ambulance."
Guess not. God, I really messed up. Dejectedly, I walked to my dorm. And an even worse thought came to mind. She's gonna call Conrad.
