Pearl

Breathe - Madison

I heard screaming coming from inside the guest room of my house. I knocked on the door continuously until I heard my pearl. What is she doing in there? Wait. Something must be going on.

I bust open the door and I see Pearl having a panic attack while some horny fucker tries to unbutton her pants. I immediately punch him. He makes weird ass pig grunting noises while I beat the shit out of him too.

I go up to River and rub her back. "It's okay Pearls. I'm here, it's Madison. Breathe for me. Please." This can't happen again. Why do I always find her like this. Her breathing is still faint.

"Name 5 things you can see for me, okay baby?" Wait why did I just say that. Whatever, it just slipped. Nothing more to it.

"Your hair, your eyes, the blue walls, the ceiling fan, and the comforters." I rub up and down her back while she slowly breathes in and out.

"Good girl. Name 4 things you can smell. Please." I look around the room trying to find her shirt but mostly trying to see if that crazy fucker is in here. I don't see him on the floor so he must have stumbled out. I could have killed him. I wish I could protect her. This has already happened once before but I found her too late. Before I can think anymore my girl interrupts me.

"Your cologne, alcohol, my perfume, and the beach." I'm glad my mom keeps a smelly good thing in here that smells like the beach. If not she probably wouldn't have smelled anything else.

"Good job. I'm so proud of you. Now 3 things you can hear okay?" I decide to take my shirt off and put it over her head to cover her up. She's only in a bra because that bastard threw her shirt somewhere.

"The fan, music, and people talking." She stops crying and she can finally breathe normal now. I can still feel her rapid heart rate that is in sync with mine.

"2 things you feel." I pick her up gently so I can hold her in my lap.

"You and my hair on my neck." I play with her hair as she responds. She seems to be calm now but I just want to make sure and not let it happen again.

"I'm so proud of you beautiful girl. 1 thing you can taste?" I feel her heart rate pick back up. She starts to freak out again because she can't taste anything. I remember someone saying something about giving them something to taste but I'm not in the kitchen. Then I remember from a TV show I watched with her. I can kiss her. Wait no that's weird. I snap out of it when I feel a tear drop on my arm.

I kiss her. She tastes amazing, I jsut want to keep kissing her. Its mesmerizing. She kisses me back. For a second I forget that I'm helping her calm down but when I come back to my senses I pull away. I shouldn't have enjoyed that. She's my best friends sister. But you love her. You've been in  love with her since you met her. Confe- I shake my head out of my thoughts and I look at her. She seems calm and I feel her heart rate still beating in sync with mine. Both our heart rates feel like we've ran miles.

"What can you taste?" I play with her curls as she tries to respond. Is she blushing? Wait. SHE KISSED ME BACK. No she didn't, you are so delusional.

"Your mint chapstick." She looks up at me with her red tinted cheeks and her puffy,red eyes. My poor girl. She deserves the world. She doesn't deserve this shit.

We sit in silence as I rub her back. She finally speaks up "Thank you Wren. I'm sorry about ruining your party." She plays with my hand that's on her thigh. My other hand is around her back holding her near me while she's on my lap.

"It's okay, don't apologize. I'm sorry I wasn't here quicker." I rub her thigh.

"It's okay. I shouldn't have been so dumb and drunk."

"Hey," I put my hand under her jaw, gently and carefully, tilting her head up so she'll look at me. "Don't apologize, this isn't your fault. It's that shitty man whore's fault. I'll always be here for you okay?" I kiss her forehead and look back at her. Wait, I just kissed her forehead. And SHES BLUSHING. WOOHOO. I shake my head getting out of my delusion.

"You can stay here if you'd like. I can stay with you too. We don't have to tell anyone about any of this until you're comfortable with it okay? I'm here for you beautiful." I rub her thigh with my thumb. Gosh, her looking up at me with those perfect, pink, pursed lips makes me want to kiss her after all of this. I wanna be with her through everything.

"Thank you. Please stay with me. I don't wanna be alone." She says as she moves in my lap to be comfortable. I grab her hips and groan. I tilt my head back and close my eyes. I think of my grandma, my dog, my mom, my dad, Rowan, and a beach. This is the shittest time to be hard, her saying any thing or doing anything gets me hard. I open my eyes and she's looking at me blushing. When she sees me looking at her she turns her head.

"Let's go to my room. Is that okay?" I ask curiously. I want her to be comfortable.

"Yeah that's fine. Thank you again." She gets up and walks to the door, waiting for me.

"Of course ma, i'll text your brother that you are staying here. I'll let you tell everyone what happened when you're comfortable, okay?" I grab her hand and sneak her to my room, it seems like the party has ended.

"Thank you so much. You don't have to do all of this for me."

"You're welcome and don't worry about it." I smile at her and close my door.

"You can go to my bathroom and change." I point to my bathroom door in the right corner of my room.

She grabs the clothes and goes into the bathroom. I change and get on the bed. I open my phone to see many missed calls and text messages from our friends. I text the group chat 'Sorry guys, got caught up with something. River is with me. She's fine. She's staying at my place.' A few minutes later River comes out the bathroom with my shirt and shorts on. The shirt is to her knees and she's holding the shorts up.

"I texted them saying you were okay," a ding from my phone goes off. It's from the group chat.

3:58 A.M. Ro🐳: What happened? Thank you for being with her. Tell her to call me. I'll come get her?
3:58 A.M. May: Is she okay? Does she need anything?
4:00 A.M. Addison: Shit, is she okay? I didn't see her the whole night. We have been calling y'all the whole night.
4:00 A.M. Jack💩: Hope she's okay. Love you guys.
4:01 A.M. Pearl🥳🦪: I'm okay guys. I'll tell you what happened tomorrow. I'm sorry I worried you all.

River puts her phone down on my night stand and sits on the edge of my bed.

"C'mere ma." I pat the spot beside me. She moves beside me and stares at the ceiling.

"You sure you're okay?" I turn towards her, laying on my side.

She continues to stare at the ceiling fan on my ceiling. I admire her side profile. She's got a straight nose, full lips, and a straight jawline. Her face is covered with freckles from her neck to her hairline. Her blonde curls sit around her head. I snap out of my thoughts when she responds.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to go to sleep. I'm tired." She turns on her side away from me. "Goodnight Madison."

I wanted to kiss her goodnight and say goodnight my beautiful girl. But she isn't mine, sadly. "Goodnight Pearl."

Do y'all like it so far? I'm also very sorry about the 'ya'll' parts. My southern nature tends to come in.

I love you.
