Jennel's POV:
The moment I got home I went straight to my room. I've now been sat on my bed for five hours doing nothing. I've just lay here thinking, thinking that Demi is right. We would never work, she's my teacher. She could go to prison for this. I cover my face with my pillow before screaming into it. I throw it on to the ground before standing up and walking out of my room. I shuffle down the hall way and towards Jess' room.
"Jess." I mumble as I walk into her room. "Can I have a hug?" I ask as she looks up at me, I only even ask Jess for hugs when things are bad. She pats the bed next to her and I shuffle towards her, I sit next to her and she wraps her arm around me.
"What's happened?"
"Why is everything so complicated?"
"I don't know you have to let me know what's happening first." She says, laughing slightly wile brushing my hair out of my face.
"I can't you'd kick me out and disown me."
"What've you done now?" She asks pushing me away from her slightly and looking into my eyes.
"You'll kill me when I tell you."
"Jennel tell me what you've done."
"I…um I kind of…um slept with my chemistry teacher." I mumble while shutting my eyes so I can't see her reaction.
"Jennel Garcia you did what?!" She screams at me, I open my eyes and she's now pacing back and forth in front of me.
"I didn't know she was my teacher when I slept with her…Jess I'm starting to like her."
"Did Max let you into the club again?" She asks, and I nod my head. "I'm going to kill him."
"Jess calm-"
"Do not tell me to calm down!" She screams at me. "You can't like your teacher Jennel it's illegal."
"I'm turning eighteen in a couple of months it won't be then. Plus liking a teacher isn't illegal, sleeping with one is."
"You have slept with her."
"Fuck sake Jess you know how I am with feelings, you know I never get attached to anyone. I'm starting to get attached to her and I need my big sister to be there for me!" I yell at her while standing up, I shove past her and storm towards my room.
I walk inside and then slam the door shut behind me before locking it. I walk towards the window, grabbing my ashtray and lighter on the way. When I get to the window I push it open before climbing out and sitting on the fire escape that passes my room. I pull out my packet of cigarettes and light one before placing the packet next to me. I take a long drag and then blow the smoke out. I look up and stare at the stars before taking another drag and then blowing the smoke out.
What if I wanted to break?
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
I slide my phone out of my pocket the moment I hear my ringtone. I look at the screen and notice that Demi is ringing me. I answer it before bringing it to my ear; I take another drag before I say anything.
"Hey." I mutter into my phone as I roll the cigarette in between my fingers.
"I'm sorry."
"You're going to hurt me, I know you are."
"I'm not going to hurt you; I want to be with you. But I can also lose my job and go to prison for being with you."
"Well it sounds like you've already made your decision." I say into the phone bitterly before taking another drag of my cigarette.
"I have." She mumbles. I'm ready to hang up right now. "I'm choosing you."
"What if you change your mind?"
"I won't, we have to have ground rules, but I won't change my mind."
"When can I see you?" I ask as I flick the ash off the end of my cigarette into the ashtray.
"Now, I'll come pick you up if you want."
"Won't someone see you?"
"I've got blacked out windows on my car no one will see me." She says giggling slightly. I stub out the cigarette in the ashtray before climbing back into my room. I trip slightly, like I do every time.
"Whoa what happened?"
"I slipped climbing back into my room."
"Idiot, so um…I'll be outside yours in five minutes."
"You don't know where I live." I say into my phone as I kick off my sweats and find a pair of skinny jeans.
"Well I know it takes you ten minutes to get to my place from yours when you're walking. So you must live close."
"Good point, you know the coffee shop on Foster Street?" I ask while sliding on a pair of ripped skinny jeans.
"Mhm, pick you up there?"
"Yea, see you in five." I say before hanging up, I pull my shirt over my head before grabbing a tight black vest top and sliding it over my body. I then grab my red flannel shirt out of my closet and pull it over my arms. I roll the sleeves and before grabbing my leather jacket. I then slide on a pair of red converse.
I grab my phone and cigarettes off my bed before walking out of my room. I walk into the living room and Jess is sat on the sofa.
"Where are you going?"
"Out."
"Are you seeing her?" She asks me, I turn to face her and just nod my head at her before walking towards the door.
"I'm not happy about this but I know that once you have your heart set on something you won't let it go. So I'm just going to have to accept it, I won't tell anyone but I want to meet her."
I turn to face her again before running towards her and wrapping my arms around her.
"I love you Jess."
She giggles and then pushes me off her; I stand up and brush myself off. She smiles at me before motioning towards the door. I smile back at her and then walk towards the door. I open it and walk out before making my way downstairs. Once I'm outside the apartment block I begin to walk towards the coffee shop.
When I get outside the shop I lean against the wall, watching the cars go past. A black Mercedes Benz with slightly tinted windows pulls up in front of me. I push myself off the wall as the window lowers. Demi smiles at me before unlocking the car, I open the passenger door and slide into the car before slamming the door shut.
"Hey beautiful." She says as I turn to face her blushing slightly before smiling at her.
"Hey."
The five minute drive back to Demi's consisted of her shouting at me for trying to smoke in her car. Then me shouting at her for running two red lights and almost killing us.
"You're so bad at driving." I say giggling as we walk into her apartment.
"I'm not that bad."
"Demi you scare me when you drive!" Marissa yells from the sofa, Demi shuts the front door and then throws her jacket at Marissa. Who just pushes it off her and then flips Demi off.
"I have such a lovely room-mate."
"And best friend!" Marissa yells, sitting up and smiling at me. I smile back at her as I feel Demi wrapping her arms around my wait from behind me. I turn to face her and she kisses my cheek.
"Urg Marissa go and see Dallas or something."
"Why? Want 'alone time'?" Marissa asks smirking at Demi.
"Just piss off for a few hours."
"Fine I'm going Jesus; give me your car keys." She says as Demi throws her keys towards her. Marissa then slides her shoes on, grabs her jacket and leaves.
Demi smiles at me and then pulls me on to the sofa with her. I fall against her; she presses her lips against mine. I kiss back, tangling my fingers in her hair and pulling on it, just enough to cause her to moan. Her mouth opens, giving me the perfect opportunity to slide my tongue into her mouth. I graze my tongue against hers as her hand slides up the back of my shirt. She slowly drags her nails down my back, I moan into her mouth. She smirks against my lips.
"God you're a good kisser." She mumbles as she pulls away from my, pressing her forehead against mine.
"As much as I like kissing you are we going to do anything else?"
"Hmm, could order a pizza and watch a film?" She suggests, pulling me closer to her. I kiss her quickly before answering.
"Only if we can get stuffed crust."
"Anything for you." She says smiling at me; she gently pushes me off her. I pout at her and she giggles before sliding off the sofa. She walks into the kitchen and grabs a menu before walking back towards me. She sits next to me and hands me the menu.
"Um, pepperoni with stuffed crust duh."
She takes the menu off me and stands up before walking into the kitchen. I bring my legs up to my chest and rest my chin on them. I hear Demi ordering the pizza and smile because she's so damn polite on the phone. Demi walks towards me and jumps on me again; I wrap my arms around her and kiss the top of her head.
We're soon lay down, Demi is facing me while graze my fingertips up and down her back. I lean forward and press my lips against hers. She kisses back, smiling against my lips. I pull away slightly and look into her eyes before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You said we need ground rules." I mumble, weakly smiling at her. She nods her head and then sits up.
"We can't be all friendly in school we keep a professional relationship, otherwise people will find out. You can't tell anyone, not even Jillian. We can't go out in public unless it's at least five miles away from school."
"Sounds alright to me, but you have to know that I won't be your girlfriend straight away. I need time; I just go jumping into this Demi. I can't risk getting hurt again." I say, turning to face her.
"I understand and I'm not going to make you. I know you need time and I'm going to give you time. We'll just be friends-"
"Sure friends that kiss all the time." I cut her off, pressing my lips against hers, I straddle her and the push her back against the arm of the sofa. Her arms wrap around my neck, pulling me closer to her. I suck her bottom lip into my mouth and her hands travel down my back, she slides her hands into the back pockets of me jeans.
"You so won't be able to be just friends with me." I mumble, smirking against her lips.
"You don't want to be my girlfriend yet, so I'll just have to try."
"Maybe we could be casually seeing each other." I suggest while sitting up, still straddling her. I look down at her; she's biting her bottom lip.
"I suppose so, casually seeing each other but no one else though."
I lean down and press my lips against hers again, I could get used to kissing her all the time. Her lips are so soft.
"You're the only one for me."
