A Flair For The Dramatic (Tony Perry)

Chapter 10: Diamonds And Why Men Buy Them

"Hey the band is coming over. We are going to watch some movies." Vic said. I nodded. It's been a month since I told everyone I'm pregnant. I was currently saving up for a house. I was going to stick with an apartment, but since I'm having a baby I want him or her to grow up in a house like I did. I sighed knowing Jaime and I will have to do the every other weekend thing. That's okay though, I guess. "Can you go get some pizza?" Vic asked. I looked at the time. Eight o'clock. "Sure." I shrugged. I took his keys and headed out to the car. His car wouldn't start. It been having some troubles lately. I texted Vic.

The car wouldn't start. I'm walking.

Vic: be safe and call me when you get there

I grinned and rolled my eyes at my overprotective brother. I walked the five blocks to the nearest pizzeria. I played Bring Me The Horizon on the way. I have seen them live a few times over in the UK. My brothers went on tour with them. I obviously was the merch girl so I went too. Good times.

It was almost nine. I was two blocks away from the apartment complex. "Hey girl." A male's husky voice breathed against the back of my neck. He snapped my bra strap that was showing. I froze. He shoved me against the wall of some brick building. Tears rushed out of my eyes. "You're a pretty girl aren't you?" He kissed my neck. "Stop please." I whimpered. "But there's no fun in stopping now is there?" He smirked. He ripped my shirt off. He unclipped my bra leaving my breasts exposed. He roughed me up a bit. "Please stop, I'm begging you." I cried. "Hey! Get your hands off of her!" A familiar voice screamed. Tony. "I didn't do nothing! She wanted it!" The bastard screamed before running away. I sank down to the ground. "Katie come here." Tony picked me up. I flinched at his touch. He stared at my breasts for a moment. "You're a fucking pervert too." I muttered. "No Hun, look, your breast is bleeding." Tony gestured towards my left breast. There were multiple cuts on it. I looked away, ashamed of myself.

"Took you guys long enough! Wait, what happened?" Vic dropped his beer. I covered my private area. "She was almost raped." Tony said for me. The room went quiet. "I'm going to kill the bastard!" Mike yelled. "No please calm down." I said quietly. "Okay okay." Mike said after a minute. "Let's just watch movies." I sighed. "Katie come here." Jaime said before I could sit down. "Yeah?" I walked into the bedroom with him. "Is the baby okay?" Jaime asked. "He didn't hit my stomach." I looked down. I was ashamed that this happened. "Are you okay?" Jaime held my wrists in his hands. I nodded. "Look at me please." Jaime's voice was gentle and caring. I looked up at him. "Just because we aren't together doesn't mean I don't care about you. I love you Katie. You are the mother of my child. Hell, even if I didn't want to love you I have to." Jaime smiled. "Thanks Jaime." I smiled back. He pecked my lips. We turned around to walk out, but we saw Tony. "I was just going to say the movie was about to start." His voice cracked. Jaime walked out, but I stayed. Tony looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "Tony..." I started. "No I get it. I'm not good enough." He threw his hands down. "You're not good enough? Hell, you cheated on me!" I hissed. "Look I didn't want to force you into anything that quickly!" Tony whispered/yelled. "Whatever Tony! I'm not dating Jaime!" I walked past him. He grabbed my wrist and spun me around. He kissed me. It was full of passion and want. I pulled away after a while. "I love you." Tony stated. My eyes widened in shock. He loves me. He actually loves me! "I love you too." I smiled. "Please be mine. Be my girlfriend. I want to be with you again." Tony took my hands in his. "Tony..." I trailed off. His face started to pale. "Yes." I hugged him.

I snuggled into Tony's side as we watched Guardians Of The Galaxy. I love this movie. It's one of my favorites. Tony played with my hair as I tried to focus on the screen. Mike was glaring at Tony while he played with my hair. I touched my nose. Mike rolled his eyes and looked away.

Being siblings, Vic, Mike, and I have a secret code. Touching your nose means fuck off. Winking your left then right eye means I need to talk to you. Snapping your fingers on both hands means stop talking. Pulling your ear means help me out. Things like that. We only use the code when parents are around or we can't just yell out, "fuck off Mike!" I haven't used it in forever though. I remember when we first started using it. Mike and Vic were going to throw a party but I was dropping hints about it to mom. Of course, they couldn't just scream out for me to shut up. Afterwards they came up with the hand gesture system. Good times.

After the movie Tony kissed my cheek and said good night. "I see you guys are back together." Vic said from behind me. "Yeah." I nodded. I remembered the events that took place tonight. I shuddered. "Vic can you sleep on the floor in the living room tonight?" I asked. "Of course DubDub." His eyes were full of sympathy. It's like he was pretending to know what I was going through. I rolled my eyes mentally. Vic made himself a pallet on the floor. I hugged my body pillow -that I must sleep with- as I laid down. I wished Tony was here with me. I'm scared. I only want the band touching me. I don't want other people to touch me. I fell asleep, praying I won't be having any nightmares.

A/N: sorry I haven't been on. Updates won't be every day like my last books.
