Pretend; Toy Soldiers

11: She's mine Tepper

My eyes fluttered open, I felt someone's arm around me. I was having a moment when you wake up and your like what the fuck?
I looked up and saw a shirtless Joey asleep. I pulled down the blankets and saw scars scattered across his chest. Like he had been shot. Before i could touch them, he groaned in his sleep. I chuckled and remembered that we almost did it. BUT WE DIDN'T. I fell back down and heard someone chuckle. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at the end of the bed to see all the guys with grins, except Billy who had a confused look. I widened my eyes and looked between Joey and the guys.

"Did Joey get it? Before any of us?" Hank asked. I put my head into Joey shoulder "Oh my god" I chuckled
"I think it's hot" I heard Snuffy say. I pulled my head up and looked at Snuffy "I'm not gonna be what you jerk off to Snuffy" I glared and shook Joey "Hey, sleeping shit head wake up" I smiled and Joey sat up and looked at me "I'm up... Oh hey guys!" He said with a childish grin
"What am i looking at?" Billy finally spoke up "I'm a beautiful girl and a sexy guy" Joey said rolling out of bed and landing on his stomach "Nooo, i think i'm looking at my bestfriend after sex" He mumbled "God you guys are so weird. We didn't do it" I said getting out of bed. As i did the blankets fell from my lap. Revealing my legs, because i was only in my underwear.

I looked over at Billy who was hitting his head on the head board and Hank was rubbing eyes, while Snuffy dropped is jaw "I always sleep without pants... I just take them off when the guys are asleep" I said and while slipping on some shorts "This isn't what i meant by watch over her Joey" Billy muttered. Joey looked up from the floor "My bad" He said and put his face back on the floor.

I threw my head back while laughing "Well i have Math this hour so" I said saluting them and starting for the door. Hoping they would forget about my ribs. But Hank and Snuffy blocked my way "Hank! Snuffy! Nice seeing you" I said trying to get between them. Hank bent down and grabbed my ankles while Snuffy grabbed under my armpits. They lifted me and i huffed "I'm tired of being in this room guys" I groaned. Billy sat on the edge of the bed "Too bad. Joey will be going to class and i will stay here so no one does it in my bed" Billy grinned and Joey hit him with a pillow.

"Sure" Snuffy said sarcastically while walking out. Joey was rushing out, running backwards "She's mine Tepper" He joked and i covered my face. Billy rolled his eyes and turned to me once Joey left "Spill" He said crawling over to me. I scooted over and he laid next to me "I don't know what's to spill? All we did was make out" I shrugged like it was nothing "Promise?" Billy asked, squinting his eyes. I turned towards him, we were now looking at each other "I promise Billy. I'm not gonna have sex on a single person bed" I said and he nodded "You better not. I don't anyone to hurt you" He muttered and i sighed "Nothing i haven't done before.." I muttered (A/N Italics is flashbacks)

I felt my stomach turn as he put a finger over my mouth "Shh, don't tell. It won't hurt at all" His evil grin. It scared me. I was young and scarred, and getting taken advantage of. I can't see the mans face. My eyes are to blurry and i was looked all over. The drugs were slowly killing me. I felt it become faster, my tears pouring faster. Everything was going to fast. I wanted to scream but nothing came, just my tears.

"Earth to Sam? When did you do it?" I heard Billy ask. I shook my head "Billy?" I asked and he furrowed his eyebrows "Hm"

"Why are there scars on Joey's chest?" I whispered. Trying to change the subject "Were you not watching the news that day" He huffed "This school was taken over by terrorist. Joey was shot... and almost killed. Luckily The lead terrorist gave him to the Dean and the Police. He was barely alive. They thought he was dead but Joey is smart and tricked them. I was really scarred for him till i saw him show up a few months later" He sighed. I looked down "I heard about that. Not about Joey though... It was really brave.. what you guys did" I said and he looked down "I wish my family thought that. They are gone... Not dead. They dropped me here and the last thing they said was "Don't come back" Before driving off with my little sister" He huffed.

I suddenly knew a lot more. Why Billy cares for me so much. Why he get's in so much trouble. Why he was so protective over his friends, they are his only family. He doesn't care about it, when i would be crying non stop. I have always had Crissy. I thought he was to tough for feelings when i now know he only hold them back,

I looked at him and swallowed "I'll be your sister" I said and he looked up at me with watery eyes. He pulled me into a hug. He squeezed me tightly and i smiled and played with the back of his head "You're a good kid Tepper. I love you" I said. Love by brotherly and Sisterly

I heard him choke "I love you too Sammy"

I kissed his forehead and pet the back of his head "You'll be okay"
