"Shhh, be quiet."
I couldn't help but giggle at how long we've been hiding from her. It's been almost 10 minutes and I feel like they'll never find us. The last place they'd expect!
All of a sudden, an ear piercing scream filled our ears. I started to grow scared and so I held onto Jewels with all my might, while he just sat there giggling.
"JEWELS RUBY ILLIUM! GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
Before he helped me up he said one last thing, "C'mon Diamonds, let's go see what mother found," and he took my hand.
We approached his bedroom door that was the farthest down the hallway. It was open a crack which meant that mother was really in there, he pushed open the door just a crack before we were met with-
"DIAMONDS!" I sat up immediately at the mention of my name. I looked around frantically for him, but he was nowhere in sight. Instead, I was met with three exhausted boys and the TV still running. I turned my head towards the window to see that it was still dark outside, no sign of light unless it came from the moon.
"W-what time is it?" I asked above a whisper. I can't believe, I haven't had one of these nightmares in such a long time, why are they back?
"Two in the morning Dia," Blake answered warily. I nodded my head and slowly got up from the sofa, soon, all of the talking turned into mumbles, that eventually turned into silence. The only thing loud enough for me to hear were my thoughts, they rang through my ears like the splashing of water when you jump in, loud enough for only you to hear so clearly.
I was shook violently and I looked up to see a worried Liam, "Are you okay?"
"What happened?" I asked immediately. If these guys had seen me having a nightmare, then they'd be concerned for me. And hell we cannot have that happening.
"You had a nightmare," spoke too soon, "You look a little shooken up, let's go get you water-"
"No it's okay, I can get it myself," I cut him off. I can't have people taking care of me, I can look out for myself.
I stood up from my position on the sofa and let myself regain my balance before I sped walk to the kitchen for a water bottle. When I opened the fridge I was met with the blinding light that shadowed over the dark kitchen. I blocked my vision with my hands and quickly snatched a water bottle from one of the holders. I downed half of the bottle before I closed the fridge, only to be frightened by a figure who was leaning against the wall behind the door.
"Fuck, Kai, don't scare me like that again," I said sending a playful shove to his shoulder.
He stared at me attentively before his hoarse voice filled the air, "Sorry, just came for a bottle as well." He then opened the fridge once again and snatched a bottle before downing it as well. I sat on top of the counter replaying the parts of my nightmare that I remembered, not noticing Kai who was leaning against the refrigerator doors watching me.
"What?" I said finally noticing him.
"Just wanna check if you're alright," he answered sternly. If he was trying to sound concerned, he wasn't doing a very good job at it.
"I'm okay, thanks though," I said biting my lips while looking at the water bottle. I can't believe I had one of those dreams again, this hasn't happened in such a long time, I need to get him out of my head.
"Doesn't look like it," he said while taking another sip.
"Oh so now you know what it's supposed to look like when someone is doing just fine?" I fired back sarcastically.
"I'm a gang leader, I'm supposed to know," he answered matter-of-factly. I chuckled lightly before I watched his figure walk towards me in the dark kitchen. He stood in between my legs but even though I was sitting on the counter top, he was still taller than me.
Curse your height...
"Hey, don't be mad that I'm taller," he said chuckling. Wow, I have to work on that.
I looked up to meet his eyes only to realize his face was only inches away from mine. He scrupulously looked into my eyes, absorbing all of my features as I watched his steel blue eyes roam about my face. We stared into each other's souls for what felt like minutes, hours, until I felt his soft hands caress my cheek.
He cupped my face with his warm hands and I don't even know where to begin with how good this feels. All that I had been previously thinking about, all that made my heart grow heavy was now enlightened by his small gesture. Butterflies roamed about my body as I felt the hairs stick up on the back of my neck. My breathing became heavy as I started to feel his minty breath on my lips, tingles filled them at the thought of how his soft pink lips would feel on my own.
I couldn't help but lift my hand up to drag my fingers on his side. Once my fingers came in contact with his skin his breath hitched which only inspired me to continue. They dragged over his beautifully carved abs, his many, many tattoos, until I dragged my palm onto his shoulder, to his cheek as well. I drew circles on his cheek bone and I watched as his eyes started swarming with emotions that I couldn't decipher.
I trailed my thumb against his cheek until it softly dragged across his bottom lip. I looked back up to his eyes to see him staring at my lips, temptation filling his orbs. I accidentally licked my lips and when I realized what I had done, I dropped my hand from his cheek and looked down at my lap.
He removed his hand from my cheek and instead lifted my chin up to look at him once again. I bit my lip in nervousness of what I might do, of what rules I might be breaking, of how stupid I am. He trailed his thumb on my bottom lip which made me release it from my teeth. He moved his hand from my cheek to my waist and he pulled it closer, so our noses were now just brushing up on each other.
Both of his hands tightly gripped onto my waist, causing me to gasp and place my hands onto his shoulder as if I might fall. He started to slowly lean in and my mind went into panic mode at the realization of what we were doing...
Back away!
But it could feel so good...
Don't give in!!
But I want to feel his soft lips...
You're making a mistake!!!
Before I could pull away his lips already came crashing into mine. I was stiff for a few seconds until my lips started molding with his perfectly. He pulled my waist closer to his lower torso and I pulled him closer by his cheeks causing us to deepen the kiss. He trailed his tongue on my bottom lip asking for entrance and I gladly let him in, his tongue exploring my mouth.
The sensation felt wonderful, magical even. His soft lips moving in sync with mine creating a perfect harmony as his tongue danced with mine. We fought for dominance until I let him win once his hand was placed onto my bare back. His hand was flat on the small of my back as he wrapped it fully around my waist, preventing me from escaping. The many thoughts that ran through my mind now dissolved into thin air as he pulled away from my lips only to place feather like kisses onto my neck. I bit my lip to prevent me from moaning but he knew I was pleasured by his actions by my uneven breathing. I held the back of his neck as he nibbled on to mine, resulting a soft moan to escape my traitorous lips.
I felt him smirk against the crook of my neck as he moved back up to my lips. Our lips now pressing hard against each other as it was now filled with lust and desperation.
As much as I didn't want to I had to pull away at the realization that this is what he's using me for. His forehead pressed against my own while we both caught our breaths, his hands never leaving my waist and my hands slowly pulling away from his neck. I looked into his eyes that showed an emotion I couldn't read because of the lack of lighting in the kitchen, but it didn't matter. I removed his large hands from my small waist and he looked at me in confusion.
I gave him a small smile before hopping off of the kitchen counter and making my way to my bedroom. I couldn't give into him, I couldn't risk my heart from anybody breaking it again. I'm glad my mind took control over my heart before I ended up doing something stupid.
My first kiss, it was amazing...
___________________________
I woke up before the guys so I could head to school before them. I couldn't face Kai after that night so I'm going to try my hardest to avoid him today if I have to. I can't have my mind running off to him until I can figure out how I feel. Right now, for today, it's just me, myself, and I.
I parked at the back of the school like usual before making my way to my locker. The boys always show up late so this morning before class I have an advantage-
Before I could finish my sentence I was pushed against my locker and a strong pounding went straight to my head. "I see you don't have your little boyfriends around you today huh? No one can protect you now," one of the jocks started stalking towards me from behind Rachel, everybody started forming a circle around us in the large hallway, trying to get a view of what is going on.
I dropped my bag off of my shoulder and 'ooohs' and chants of 'fight fight fight!' started filling the air. Does this jock have no respect for women? Is he really going to hit a girl? You can't be serious, he has to be one of the most dumbest douchebags I have ever come across in my entire existence.
He stopped a few feet away from me before Rachel started approaching me. Her makeup looking cakey as ever and her cheerleading uniform exposing half of her ass. I can tell that it was definitely not her size as the top exposed her boobs and the skirt was tightened around her waist, attempting to appear as an hour glass figure. But really though, could you put curve into something that's shaped as a refrigerator?
"Oh this is going to be fun," she raised her hand to slap me while other kids were recording. When I saw their phones up a plan formed into my head, one that'd get her to back away from me for awhile.
Her hand came in contact with my cheek as my head jerked to the side. The loud clap echoing throughout the walls which was followed by silence. I turned my head to smirk at her which made a look of confusion plaster into her face. I looked around at the many phones that were recording and that made me grin even wider.
I pushed her back forcefully making her stumble into the jock's arms. I then stomped onto her foot which made her scream in pain as she held onto it trying to rub the pain away. I sent an uppercut and a left hook the her temple, I kicked her side and punched her gut, all under ten seconds- never letting her get a chance to react.
Before I could do more two arms wrapped themselves around my waist and pulled me towards their chest. I tried escaping their hold but I found it was no use since it was Liam holding me back. I let out a huff of defeat and grabbed my bag as Liam yelled out, "GET BACK TO YOUR GODDAMN CLASSES. ALL OF YOU!" The kids scurried away in fear as the jock helped carry Rachel's limp body in a different direction.
"Why did you leave earlier this morning?" Blake hissed as he approached us with Kai in tow. Instead of answering him I shrugged my shoulders and hurried into homeroom. The guys later joined me and sat around me as usual, Kai a little closer than normal.
Later that day, I was called into the office by who I recognized was the principal, "Diamonds Kollster, please come to the principal's office immediately." All heads turned to me and I sent glares in return, making them all turn back around.
As I was walking down the hallway all three boys soon followed behind me, "Why are you guys here?" I asked boredly.
"If you go, we go," Kai answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Wow, so much for trying to avoid them...
I rolled my eyes as I continued forward but they didn't see it as I was in front of them. I walked into the office where I was met with the secretary's disapproving look. As soon as she saw the boys behind me she went back to typing on her computer, I looked at the boys in confusion and they gave me a look saying, 'ill tell you later.'
I strutted into the principal's office where I was met with none other than Rachel Tilton and her father. As soon as I walked in her father came charging at me, "How could you do such a thing to my daughter?! How could you start a fight without any reason?!" I stood there stultified until I heard his last question. I shifted my gaze to a smirking Rachel as she watched her father scream at me. I sent her a smile in return which I could tell made her feel uneasy.
"Mr. Tilton, please have a seat. As well as you Ms. Kollster," the principal said gesturing towards the seat a few feet away from Rachel, not even questioning the boys' presence.
I sat down and crossed my legs as I sat back onto the leather chair, "So what seems to be the problem here?" Principal Wilson asked.
"This slut beat me up! If it wasn't so obvious," Rachel shrieked referring to her bruises I gave her. I chuckled lightly while I pulled out my phone.
"Ms. Tilton here says you approached her without any reason and started to fight her, is that true?" Principal Wilson asked tiredly. Honestly, if he looked like he wasn't going to care for this situation, why become a principal in the first place?
I flicked my wrist towards Rachel and her father, indicating them to get out. "What? We're not leaving here without an explanation!"
"Yes you are," Kai demanded sternly. He shot a look at the principal who stiffened in his seat, "Yes, just give us a moment Mr. Tilton," he said shakily.
Mr. Tilton scoffed but nonetheless left the room as well as Rachel. Once they were out I walked up to his desk and placed my phone in front of him, playing the video of the fight that was sent around school.
"As you can see, Rachel had me cornered against my locker after she had shoved me against it," he continued watching the video carefully, "kids started circling around us preparing for a fight and even used one of the jocks to try and intimidate me. She slapped me across the face and I used self defense," the video stopped and I sank back down onto the chair. "I did not approach her, because from what I know her locker is across the hallway from mine, she had come up to me, she had started the fight, and if you hear closely you can even hear her referring me to a slut since I hang out with my step brother and his friends."
Principal Wilson let the new information sink in and called the two back into the office. As soon as they sat down, he went straight to the point, "Rachel you are suspended for three days for bullying another peer-"
"WHAT?! I didn't do anything!"
"Not from what this video tells me," Principal Wilson played the video for them again and once it was over, Mr. Tilton looked at his daughter in disbelief, "You lied to me?" He breathly asked.
"Yes, but-"
"There are no buts, you are serving 3 days of suspension. Diamonds will get two days of detention for harming another as well, but you were the one who started the fight." Principal Wilson cut her off. Rachel stormed out of the office, leaving her dad behind.
He approached me and stuck out his hand, "I deeply apologize for my misunderstanding, and especially for Rachel's behaviour towards you. I understand the way you acted now," I stood up from my seat and shook his hand gently with a nod.
After they had left I took my phone from the principal after he reminded me of my detention, and headed back to class.
"Wow, you really handled that well," Blake commented as we walked through the empty hallways.
"I know right?" I answered thrilled.
