My mother's scrutinizing gaze on my neck made me wish I had a turtle shell I could duck my head into.
After some time at Jace's, Ryder dropped me off at my house before he went to visit his father. Mom was excited to see me, flinging the door open and wrapping me in her arms tightly like a snake squeezing the life out of their prey. After, she dragged me into the house where her eyes zeroed in on my newly marked neck.
"I see the new relationship is blossoming quite well" she commented after her eyes met mine.
"A bit"
"You know how to cover those, right?" She quirks an eyebrow at me.
"Yes ma" I groaned
"Hey, I'm not trying to lecture I'm just making sure you know to cover it. It's not very proper to have them exposed during school or work"
"I know, I know" I love my mother and how she isn't so hardcore strict on things like this.
"Does that mean you have a boyfriend to introduce?"
"Well I don't quite know if he's my boyfriend" I admitted, scratching the back of my head.
"Matthew" she scolded and I winced.
"We didn't establish that" I shrugged "I'll letcha know when it happens"
"Are you at least using protection? I know you guys can't get each other pregnant but there are diseases" she asked and I flushed in embarrassment.
"We aren't at that stage yet but surely we will ma"
"Aww hunny, it's nothing to be embarrassed about" she hugged my side, rubbing her hand up and down my arm.
"Josie cat, I got your favorite wine I was hoping we can get a little frisky tonight" my father's voice sang after the front door opened. I grimaced as my mother giggled.
"Tom dear, Matt is home for the weekend" she said loud enough for him to hear. He turned the corner into the kitchen and his eyes landed on me.
"Oh, it appears he is...Damnit" he sighed
"Gee thanks dad" I laughed
"Matt, my boy, when you get to our age you'll understand how important it is to maintain a healthy sex life like your mother and I" he told me
"I don't need to picture that" I scrunched my face up in disgust. "But I can sleep at Jace's or Ryder's" I offered
"Yes!" Dad cheered and mom scoffed.
"Matt, you're staying" she said in a final tone.
"Awwww" dad and I both whined.
"You two are terrible" she shook her head "I'm going to get dinner going" she said over her shoulder while walking to the fridge.

The next morning, I awakened to my phone blaring.
"Hello?" I answered groggily. A sob broke through the other end making me fully wake up instantly.
"Matt....there's blood" Amber's voice said in a cry.
"Amber, what happened?" I asked worriedly while getting up and throwing on random clothes.
"I woke up to go to the bathroom and there's blood" she sniffled. "My parents are gone so I can't get to the emergency clinic"
"I'll come get you and bring you there" I rushed out.
