MO'S PROV
I awoke the next morning from a bright light popping out from a slight gap in the curtain. Memories of last night were rushing through my brain- Scott kissing me, Scott touching me, Scott rubbing against me, moaning with me, sweating with me. I smiled at the intensity. This always happened 'the morning after' I'd get so overwhelmed recovering from a night with the one and only Scott Pickett. You could say that Scott and I are 'very' sexually active, we started sleeping together a few months before lemonade mouth began, though our sex life then couldn't even compare to now. Scott and I shared an erotic passion that I was sure only a few people in the world were lucky enough to have.
I turned to come face to face with a sleeping Scott. I kissed his nose softly, causing his eyes to flutter open. Once he came to reality he smiled.
"Mm…I love waking up to your beautiful face" he mumbled.
"Get use to it" I replied cheekily, which made him smile and open his eyes completely.
"Oh I will" he said as he rolled on top of me and gave me a passionate kiss.
Our hands were roaming each other's bodies as we continued to kiss. I decided to tease him a bit so I closed my mouth, leaving him no access. He however didn't take it and begun tickling me, which of course made me laugh. Straight as I did he shoved his tongue down my throat, but I didn't mind so we continued where we left off, him still on top of me.
"HEY MO GUESS WHA- OHMIGOD!" Stella's voice yelled loud and clear causing Scott and I to break apart. Why was it always Stella? Though as I looked up I noticed this time it wasn't just her.
Standing by the door was none other than an embarrassed Olivia, hysterical Stella, shocked Charlie and smug looking Wen. They could also be referred to as my band- Lemonade Mouth.
STELLA'S PROV
I couldn't stop laughing, we had just caught Mo doing 'you know what' and the look on their faces was priceless. Mo looked extremely embarrassed and Scott looked extremely angry. I seemed to be the only one that was laughing however, Olivia was going beetroot, Wen was trying to hide his smile and Charlie was- wait? Where was Charlie?
"Not trying to be rude or anything- well actually I am- but could you guys please GET OUT!" Mo shouted.
This made me laugh even harder and soon I was panting for air.
"Ohmigod someone get her out of here please" Mo said.
"Yeah we got her" Wen said "we're just leave you guys to do um whatever you guys were doing" he added on the end with a smirk earning a scroll from Mo.
I was still laughing hysterically as Wen and Olivia dragged me out of the room, once we got out something totally shocking happened. Olivia slapped me across the face. Olivia White who I was certain of didn't even understand the term; violence. I just stared at her for a minute, my laughing completely gone, and then even more shocking she hugged me. What the hell was happening?
"Sorry I slapped you, I've always wanted to slap someone across the face and now seemed like the perfect time, especially considering you were laughing like a loon" Olivia said arms still around me.
"Olivia you are the weirdest girl I have ever met" I said smiling.
We broke apart and exited Mo and Scott's hotel room, something struck me then;
"Hey where'd Charlie go?" I asked
All I got was an "I don't know" from Wen and a shrug from Olivia.
My phone vibrated then pulling my thoughts away from Charlie. I looked at the screen and smiled; "I'll be right back guys" I said.
"Ok, meet at the café downstairs?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah sure" I replied urgently then rounded the corner for some privacy. I flipped open my cell and then pressed answer.
"Hey Casey"
CHARLIES PROV
Okay Charlie deep breathes, deep breathes, i kept saying in my head trying to calm my breathing down but it wasn't working. I wanted to punch something, I wanted to punch Scott. A lot of thoughts were going through my mind then; how could she do that, her father obviously wouldn't approve, why Scott, doesn't she care about me? Seeing her perfect tiny body under Scott's larger one made me sick, he didn't deserve her, no one did…but me.
After another few minutes of heavy breathing I got up off my spot on the hallway floor and went in search of the band. Rounding the corner, I heard Stella's faint voice.
"Hey Casey"
Who was Casey? I peeked around the corner and saw Stella on the phone. Though it wasn't exactly polite to ease drop, my curiosity always got the better of me, so staying in a hidden position I listened further.
"Mm I know last night was amazing" Stella slurred.
Last night? The club? Looks like Stella found herself a man, which is good considering I haven't seen her date anyone since I first met her a year ago.
"Tomorrow night? Sounds great guess I'll see your pretty little arse there"
Ok no wonder why no one dates her, you don't refer to a guy as pretty, especially their arse.
"Somewhere private though, I don't want the band to know I'm lesbian just yet"
LESBIAN! HOLY CRAP! Stella Yamada was a freking lesbian.
OLIVIAS PROV
Wen and I were sitting in a private booth in the hotels café in an awkward silence. He was fiddling with some straws while I was reminiscing in my thoughts of Mo and Scott. I guess I was the only one completely oblivious to their um…bedroom activity. I know it sounds stupid but I would have thought that Mo would have waited till after marriage before having intercourse. I mean her Baba brought her up differently…didn't he?
"So, nice café here" Wen said trying to start up a conversation.
"Yeah" was all I replied still lost in my thoughts.
Maybe I should talk to Mo? I hadn't told anyone but I wanted to have sex with Wen. I wanted to share with him what Mo and Scott shared. But I was scared. I was really scared, and it's all because of-
"Hey guys" Stella said sitting down next to Wen "anything good here?"
"We were waiting for everyone to show up before we ordered so no clue" Wen replied still playing with the straws.
"Well they better hurry up because I am sta-ar-ving" Stella said putting an exaggerated tone to the word starving.
"Well we're here" said Mo joining us her hand linked with Scott as they sat down next to me "Where's Charlie?"
"Here" the handsome drum player said as he sat down at the only empty spot which was across from Scott. I was sort of expecting something to happen however Charlie immediately picked up a menu and began to skim through, though it was obvious he was just trying to avoid eye contact with Scott and Mo…if not all of us.
"Cool, let's eat people!" Stella practically yelled drawing attention from basically the whole cafeteria.
"Yeah" Charlie said bluntly giving Stella a stare he would normally only save for Scott "let's eat".
MO'S PROV
I kept stealing glances at Charlie as I ate my salad. I noticed him storm out after he saw Scott and I and although I was sort of fighting with him I still cared about him and respected his feelings. I just couldn't help but always consider the fact that things would be fine if he found someone. I always wondered what happened to Victoria, they were such a sweet couple, but out of the blue Charlie broke up with her.
Breathing a small sigh I looked away from Charlie and started playing with a piece of lettuce, my appetite completely gone. Wens phone went off just then to his rap part in determinate, which I couldn't help but smile at. It may seem self-centred but we all have one of our bands songs set as our ringtone. Olivia's was 'Somebody', Stella's was 'Be heard', Charlie's was 'More than a band', Scott's was 'Breakthrough' and mine was 'She's so gone'.
Wen pulled his phone out from his pocket and looked at the screen. His facial expression changed instantly to something I couldn't pin point exactly. Worry, distress, lust, overjoy? All seemed self-evident.
"I'll be right back guys" he said storming out of the cafeteria.
I noticed Olivia raise an eyebrow but just as quickly as Wen left her eyebrow dropped and she got back to eating her food…as did everyone else. It was weird, none of us were talking and the silence was becoming unbearable.
"So did you guys have fun last night?" I asked trying to break the quiet setting.
"Yeah I had a great time" Stella said slightly delirious.
"I gotta go" Charlie said immediately after, surprising everyone whom just watched him exit our booth and walk out the cafeteria doors
"Umm…did I miss something?" I asked looking at Stella who just shrugged and got back to her food.
And so the silence continues. I sighed again and just decided to leave it. Olivia and Stella were obviously lost in their own thoughts, Charlie didn't want to talk to anyone by his strange behaviour and Wen still hadn't returned from talking to whoever was on the phone. Great.
Getting lost in my own thoughts I nearly jumped out of my skirt when I felt a hand rub my thigh. I turned to the obvious verdict. Scott Pickett. He just smiled at me. That sexy smile that I loved and continued doing what he was doing, only now his hand was going further up my skirt. Enjoying the feel of his touch, and anticipating what was going to happen as he got higher and higher I was completely oblivious to Olivia's fork dropping on the ground and her bending to pick it up. Of course she happened to see Scott feeling up my leg as she reacted fast, bumping her head on the table.
"Ohmigod, Olivia are you alright?" I asked my full attention on her now.
"Yeah, fine totally completely fine" she said avoiding eye contact with me "I'm just going to go and check on Wen" she added urgently.
"I'll come with you" I said and began to get out of the booth. Olivia looked like she wanted obliged but the stern look I was giving her must of changed her mind as she just nodded and begun to walk away, me trailing behind her.
After a moment of awkward silence I stopped her and motioned for her to sit outside with me. She followed quietly, still avoiding eye contact. Something was up and I wanted to talk to her about it. As we entered the hotel garden which to my relief was empty I decided to just jump straight in.
"Olivia have you and Wen had sex?" I asked causing her to burst into a coughing fit. I immediately rubbed her back and led her to a little seating area. After we were seated and Olivia had calmed down I started talking again.
"Look I didn't mean to intrude or make you uncomfortable, it's just I couldn't help but notice your reaction to seeing Scott and I this morning and to what you just witnessed in the cafeteria" I said gently "We're best friends Olivia and you can tell me if something's up?"
She just continued starring at her lap for a minute or two and I was about to say something when she opened her mouth;
"Sorry for freaking out its just, I guess I was surprised I mean I thought you would of waited I mean you being brought up in an traditional family and all"
I looked at her carefully "Olivia…I love Scott. I love him more than anything in this world, I want to share everything with him…even sex, and that's not a bad thing. I mean two people being passionate, two people sharing something special…" I stopped when I noticed her eyes starting to water.
I sat down next to her and hugged her gently, grabbing her hand I carried on; "It's not a sin to make love Olivia"
A tear fell freely down her face and she quickly wiped it with the back of her hand.
"Wen and I haven't had sex" she said quietly "not yet anyway" she turned to look at me "I guess the reason I was such a spaz is because I want to share that with something, what you and Scott have. And I want that person to be Wen…I just don't know how to confront him about it"
"Olivia, sex is something you can't plan with someone. It's a spontaneous thing" she looked confused so I carried on "what I'm trying to say is that if you and Wen love each other… then sex should just happen…Do you love Wen?"
Olivia's whole body stiffened slightly, causing me to rethink her feelings for him. After a moment she replied honestly "Yes".
I smiled and rubbed her back reassuringly "Well then you should share that experience with him"
She smiled too but then as quickly as it came it vanished.
"Mo, there's another reason…" something changed in her eyes then tempted to comfort her I resisted and let her continue "…I'm scared" she answered simply as she burst into tears. Seeing her do this broke my heart and I instantly wrapped my arms around her, holding her while she continued to cry.
"I know your scared but Wen will make your first time special and-"
"No. That's just it" she said lifting her head off my shoulder to look at me.
"What's is?" I asked confused.
"My first time. Wen won't be my first time" she said her tears moving more freely down her face.
I just starred at her shocked at the fact that Olivia had already had sex. Considering she was bursting into tears I could only assume that her first time wasn't like the experience I had been telling her about.
"Olivia" I said gently "who was your first?"
"Promise me that you won't tell anyone ok Mo" she asked grabbing both of my hands into hers "Promise me"
She looked so frightened that I gripped her hands harder and whispered back an "I promise"
Olivia looked away from me and instead looked at a white rose. After a few minutes she opened her mouth to speak.
"You remember how I told you that after my mom died my dad started making some really bad decisions"
Oh no. I could already see where this was going; I instantly brought a hand to my mouth. Olivia noticed my reaction and started crying even more.
"I was the bad decision" she said her voice cracking "He rapped me Mo" she looked at me and I couldn't help myself, tears were now falling freely down my face as well "My own father raped me" I instantly wrapped the poor girl in my arms not caring that she was soaking my t-shirt with my tears but instead about the traumatic experience she would have had to go through.
Olivia was only eight when her mother died. Eight years old. What sick bastard would do such a thing…especially to his own daughter? I could just picture a younger Olivia, just a little girl, so sweet and innocent, not a care in the world. But then I could picture the fragile girl being grabbed at and made out as a toy. I could picture her screaming, begging him to stop, so confused at what was happening. I could picture the pain, not even close to being a women, it would have been unbearable. I could picture her dreams crashing down because the man that she had admired, that had taken care of her for all of her life had just ruined it all. I could picture the hurt and despair after it was over. I could picture the many nightmares she would have had of a middle aged man forcing himself on her. I could picture the torment and the grief of having to live through every single day after wood, keeping it secret; living through all that sorrow by yourself and it was all because of your own father. Olivia's father had taken advantage of the most important thing in a girl.
Her vulnerability.
I don't know how long Olivia and I sat in the beautiful floral garden crying but after a while we eventually came to our senses and began to wipe our tears away.
Olivia, when able to talk, told me the rest of her story. She said her dad had told her not to tell anyone, her being a little girl, confused and scared followed her father's wishes and kept it a secret. However her father later on felt guilty over what he had done to her that he gave himself into the police. The whole thing was kept quiet, not even Olivia's grandmother knew what her father had done to her. The story was that he had gotten himself in trouble with drugs, which her grandmother believed considering he had a history of it. So Olivia had to live the next nine years dealing with this herself.
The thing that shocked me however was when she told me honestly that she forgave her dad shortly after the band had started. She said after going over and over it in her head she realised that her dad didn't have to turn himself in, that he could of lived on with his life, that he could of hurt her more. But instead he gave himself in, which she realised was the bravest thing he had ever done. Though she still wasn't fixed she wasn't broken either, she was just simply mending.
"Olivia, your dad may have taken your virginity, but he didn't take your virtue. Whether you believe it or not that wasn't your first time. That wasn't making love Olivia" I said my words carefully making her smile slightly. "Your first time…" I carried on "will be with the person you love…Wen"
She smiled wider now, more than I'd ever seen her smile, and it made me happy.
"Thank you Mo" Olivia said looking at me sincerely "I kept it a secret for so long and I'm just happy that you're the one I told"
A tear escaped my eye as I pulled her in for another hug. "I'm glad you told me too Olivia. I'll always be here for you, never forget that"
We pulled away and began to stand up when Olivia's next words however stopped me;
"I'm glad that you had your first time with someone you love…Scott."
I stiffened instantly and looked away from Olivia. I don't know how but I managed to choke out a "Yeah" which appeased her as she turned to walk back to the group.
I couldn't move. Olivia noticed as she turned back to me "You coming" she asked.
"I'll be a minute I'm just going to…call my dad" I quickly replied hoping she didn't notice my lie.
"Ok, see you later then" she said walking away.
I breathed a sigh of relief when she when I could no longer see her in my view. I was a bad friend. Olivia just told me the biggest secret of her life and yet I couldn't seem to tell her mine.
I couldn't seem to tell her that my first time wasn't with Scott…but with Ray Beech.
FLASHBACK
I looked at all the hormonal teenagers around me; dancing, laughing, drinking having a good time. And who wouldn't be. Oh yeah me. Even though Ray threw the best parties out of the whole sophomore year if not that whole school, I couldn't be rid of the annoyed and jealous feeling that Scott, my boyfriend-soon to be ex-, had blown me off for none other than Jules. He had come up with some lame excuse that she is failing some class and needed a tutor. Tutor my ass, the only thing she wanted tutoring on was-
"Hey Mo, where's the boy toy tonight?" Ray himself said interrupting my thoughts and leaning against the same wall as me.
"Hm… last time I checked he was tutoring Jules, but now" I said checking the time "he's probably got her in her bra and panties on the bedroom floor" I ended and took a swig of my beer.
"What makes you think that?" he asked looking at me curiously.
I stared at him like he was crazy "Please he's a guy and Jules doesn't exactly have the best reputation"
"Mo, not all guys are completely horny all the time" Ray tried to reassure me.
I just stared at him.
"Ok most guys are, but Scott's…different" he said
I was a confused "How so?" I asked.
Ray took a drink of whatever was in his hand before replying "Well first he's a loyal guy and he would never cheat on anyone" when I still looked at him confused he carries on "and second…I see the way he looks at you. He's completely whipped Mo, and he's only fifteen. All I know is that he would never hurt you"
My facial expression softened and I smiled at Ray. Most people would call him an asshole but he's not that bad once you get to know him. Rays just the type of person that's honest and speaks his mind which last time I checked wasn't a bad thing. He was definitely making me reconsider my anger towards Scott.
"So how about we go have a good time huh?" he said lifting his bottle and giving me his signature look; the cheeky up-to-trouble one.
I couldn't resist, a little fun with Ray would definitely help me get my mind off of Scott. Before I could stop myself I had clinked my bottle with his.
…
Ray didn't disappoint when he said good time. All throughout the night he had me doing something. We would drink like the wild teenagers we were, we would dance like maniacs, the alcohol removing our insecurities. We would pull stupid pranks on people like filling a guy's drink with salt and putting a fart cushion under Ray's sofas. We would laugh over everything that we thought was worth being amusing. And more importantly we would wash away our sorrows, blocking out all our feelings.
Then it happened. I don't know how and I don't know why but awhile later I found myself on a comfy bed sharing a passionate kiss with none other than Ray himself. Due to the amount of alcohol my hormones were running high while my barrier was running low.
That night, at the age of fifteen I had lost my virginity to Ray Beech.
END OF FLASHBACK
I never told Scott…I never told anyone. The next morning Ray and I had felt like absolute crap and we didn't want to hurt Scott's feelings. We both loved him, in our own ways of course and we knew that this wasn't something he'd easily forgive…I guess we just didn't want to risk losing him.
After that night I stopped being jealous whenever Scott was with a girl. I stopped being a clingy girlfriend and instead a more loyal and trusting one. My love for Scott grew stronger and eventually after almost eleven months later I took Scott's virginity. But he didn't take mine.
That night he had said to me "I'm glad we got to be each other's first" and me being so stupid just replied; "me too".
I was guilty. Scott should have been my first but I knew I wasn't going to tell anyone. It was my little secret…and I was going to keep it like that.
Okay guys just wanted to fill you on some things.
First off in every chapter you recognize someones secret, every band member has one.
More into the story everyone will sort of come to realize whats going on in each others lifves and that is where the Drama will unfold.
So please keep reading/review
Feedback would also be appreciated.
