The Angel on Her Shoulder

Chapter Two

◇There is a deep connection, But I can't connect◇

"Wakey, wakey, little Becky!" Lily says softly and I groan, swatting her hand away from my head.

"Fuck off." I growl, tugging the comforter above my head. 

"Get up. We have school." She lectures, I groan louder.

"I'm skipping." I whine.

"With how much you've skipped since middle school, it truly amazes me you're a Junior. Now," Lily yanks the blanket off of me. "Get the fuck up or I'm telling Blake to drag your ass out of bed." I flip her off and rub my eyes.

"Bitch."

"Proudly." She tosses a pair of jeans and a hoodie at me before turning towards the door. "You better be dressed when I come back in," Lil says over her shoulder as she shuts her door and I groan.

Looking closer at the clothing, I can't help but to laugh. The two pieces of clothing belong to me, meaning either Blake brought them or Lily broke into my house to grab them.

I switch my Stitch sweats out for my jeans with cute little strawberries on them. I yank my shirt off, the same one from yesterday, and decide to only wear a bra under my black hoodie that has neon mushrooms on the front of it.

I comb my fingers through my hair and look for my phone, that has magically fallen underneath lily's bed. I take a shaky breath as I read the following notification:

7 missed calls from Dad

2 missed calls from Blakely

1 missed call from Jane

Jane- Hey hun, please lmk you're okay. You're probably sleeping rn, I tried telling your father and brother that but men, always so stubborn. Sweet dreams.

Blake- where are you?

Blake- I came home: Dad drunk, you missing, glass everywhere. Wtf?

Blake- Bek?

Roy- Hey beautiful, you busy?

Roy- Some shit happened w/ my parents. Meet for a smoke? 

I also got some text messages from dad but I can't understand any of them. So, I end up responding to everyone but my father.

Me- Hey, sorry. Fell asleep early. I'm K. Tell me about it, men R so confusing.

Me- @ lily's. What broke?

Me- Went 2 bed early, sorry. Everything k?

A knock on the door makes me jump but I hide my fear by stretching. "Come on, Blake's here." Lily says slowly.

I nod and practically bolt out of her lavender colored room. The ride to school is quiet beyond, not even the radio is on. When we pull up to the school, Lily climbs out of the passenger seat and i give her a 'go ahead without me' motion and she nods.

I climb into the now open spot and sigh. "How bad was it?" I ask after a minute. Blake sighs and shakes his head.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that, Rebekkah?" He asks softly. I stay silent. Blake does too.

"He called me her." I say softly, so softly I almost didn't think he heard me. I know he did. How? Because he takes a deep breath before letting it out slowly.

"I should get to class," I say before he can respond. Blake only nods his head as I slip out. I shut the door and he rolls down the passenger window.

"Bekah?" I turn around. "You're not her, your stronger." Blake says softly. I smile slightly and turn around, walking to the steps where Lily is playing on her phone.

***

All day, I haven't heard nothing back from dad or Roy. Honestly, I'm relieved dad hasn't called or texted since two in the morning. But Roy? I'm starting to get antsy.

You see, his birth parents gave Roman for adoption when he was five. His adopted parents, Chelsie and Carl, took him in when he was thirteen but Chelsies always been verbally abusive.

Although Roy is my brother's best friend since they were eight, Roy talks more about his family stuff with Blake's kid sister, yours truly.

We would never admit it to Blake, because he would either flip out and end his life long friendship, but Roman and I have this...special secret connection. I can confide in him and vice versa.

He's sweet and thoughtful but also dominant and VERY good with his hands.

***
"Mommy? What's that?" I ask as my mother, Adenia, as she sets the strange glass thing on the counter.

"It's nothing, baby. Go play with your brother," She says as she rushes me out of the bathroom and slams the door shut.

When daddy gets home, he smells funny and starts yelling at mommy. I don't like it when they fight.

Blakey grabs my hand and says we should go play at Roman's house for a minute. "Okay," I say happy.

Before blakey opens the door, mommy and Daddy's door slams open and mommy falls to the ground, her face has purple spots and her nose is bleeding.

"Mommy?"

"Let's go," Blake shoves us out the door but not before I watch daddy pick mommy up by her neck and smacks her on the face like he does to me when I do something naughty.

***
Someone shakes me awake and I groan. Lily is standing besides me, looking at my emmpty page of notes. "School's over." She says softly and I rub my eyes.

Around six, Lily and I decide to head over to Naomi Jensens place for the party she throws every weekend.

Lily kept whining the entire time I was searching her closet for a tanktop, I still haven't gone home or talked to my dad, about how she really doesn't want to go.

My response? "Stop whining, Blake will be there." Now, I'm not completely blonde. I know my best friend has a tiny crush on my big brother. She's never fully confirmed it, but it's obvious.

Lily bites her lip and glares. "Fine."

I grin. The two story house has music blaring and people scattered all around the yard and through out the house.

"I'm gonna get a drink, want something?" I yell over the music as we squire past people.

"No, I'm going to go find your brother." She yells back and I roll my eyes.

The kitchen has people doing either navel shots or chugging contests. I squire past the school's football star, Brody Ailey, who pinches my ass as I walk past. I wink at him and grab the closest bottle of alcohol, which happens to be a half drank bottle of tequila. I grab a plastic shot glass and take shot, after shot, after shot.

About seven shots later, my skin tingles and all the tension I had previously dissapears. "Hey babe," Brody slurs as he grabs my hips.

I lean in and nibble his earlobe. "Hey," I giggle. Brody starts giving my neck sloppy kisses and I giggle, pushing him away.

"Brody," I whine. "I'm not having sex with again, you're with Kayla now." His grip doesn't falter.

"She doesn't have to know," He whispers as he caresses my breast. I giggle. "No," Brody doesn't listen. He starts leading us away from the kitchen even though I continue to say no, stumbling over my own feet.

"Brody-" Before I can whine again, Brody is pushed into the wall and Roy has him pinned to the wall.

"She said no man, respect that or I'll fucking kill you. " Roy says calmly, anger in his eyes clear as day.

"Hey man, we just playing." Brody slurs, laughing like he heard the funniest thing on earth.

"Fuck outa here."Roy growls, shoving Brody away before slipping a secure arm around me, leading me to the frontroom where my bestie, brother and brothers friends are sprawled around in a shitty circle.

"You didn't text me back," I frown as I lean my head agaisnt Roy's shoulder.

He sighs and kisses the top of my head before my big brother comes into sight, with Lily's head on his lap.

Roy's shoulder length, black greasy hair sways back and fourth, some of his random braids with beads catching my attention. We sit down across from Blake and I whine, laying my head on his lap.

Roy fiddles with a strand of my hair as he talks with everyone else. While he's talking with Jeff, a huge dick who I wish would never come around again, something shiny catches my attention and I furrow my brows.

"Nah, I dropped college. It was a waist of t-" Roy says until I reach up and grab his tongue.

"Ooo, what's this?" I ask as I rub my finger along the shiny metal mall on Roy's tongue. "It's...warm?" Someone laughs but I'm too interested in this strange object to actually see who laughed.

Roy grabs my wrist and gently removes my hand from his mouth. "That, Rebekkah, would be a tongue piercing." He grins. Roy leans forward and whispers in my ear, "Now don't interrupt me again, Angel." I giggle and he turns towards the group once again.

I start to doze off until Lily sits up and declares a game of truth or dare. I groan and bury my head under my arms. Roy rubs my arms soothingly. "Ok, Austin, Truth or dare?" Blake asks.

"Truth," Austin replies. Blake grins and I feel sorry for poor Austin.

"What's your body count?"

Austin turns beat red, Lily rolls her eyes but gives me a 'you're next' look and I grin.

"O-one." Austin lies and this time I roll my eyes. Everyone knows Austin is waiting until he 'finds the one'. I mean the poor dude doesn't even watch porno.

"Bekah, Truth or dare?" Lily asks and I grin more as I close my eyes.

"Give me a dare, babe."

She doesn't even hesitate. "Make out with Roman."

My eyes flash open as i sit up. Lily is grinning and Blake looks like he wants to commit murder.

I straddle Roy's lap and he wraps his arms around me securely. He flashes me a 'lets give them a show of their lives' smile and in moments our lips move together, his rough lips demanding dominance over my soft lips.

His hand caresses my ass as his other hand grabs a handful of my hair, tugging to allow him more acces to my mouth. My fingers scratch his scalp, returning the tugging favor.

The warm metal of Roy's new tongue piercing clashes agaisnt my tongue, sending shivers down my arm.

"Okay Roy, hands off my sister." Blake groans as he grabs my arm and peels me away from his best friend since elementary.

My lips are swollen, that i know for a fact. Blake keeps looking at Roy with a disgusted look and I bite my lip to keep from smiling. Lily narrows her eyes slightly before giving me a  smile that screams 'interesting' before looking away and taking a drink from her red cup.
