Broken Home (Jacoby Shaddix and Michael Clifford)

Chapter Eight

*Jacoby's Point of View.*

Three months almost exactly being with Cyn and it was going pretty good. She lightened up my mood every time I saw her. She opened up to me more and more each day and I did the same with her.

It was hard and new for us both, but I felt it was so worth it. 

At the moment, Mikey and I had laid out of school and hung out, getting a break from school and the girls. We haven't had time just us in a while.

"So tell me Coby." Mikey said propping his feet up on the coffee table, "you gotta tell me, the sex, is it good?"

"Honestly? We haven't had sex yet dude." I confessed.

Mikey laughed, "hey, if you don't wanna tell me, that's fine."

"No, for real." I said looking at him serious.

He looked at me shocked, "what? This is new. Why? Is it her?"

I laughed and shook my head no, "we just haven't felt the need. We've actually had a lot to talk about and just never had it brought up."

"You never felt the want to?" He asked.

I nodded, "I've wanted to, a lot. I've thought about it a lot, but the moment I'm with her, I don't feel the need to anymore."

"That's some sappy shit dude." He laughed.

I flipped him off, "you just do not understand."

Mikey shrugged, "Whatever you say dude."

"Hey, do you got any pills?" I asked him.

He nodded, "I was going to get rid of them, give them to Craig tomorrow after class or something."

"Give me a few," I told him.

"I thought you were stopping?" He asked me as he handed me a couple, "Cause you and Cyn were working out."

I shrugged, "I've took some after shes went home. I never said I was quitting, I told her I wouldn't in front of her."

"You've spent these past two months, spilling your guts out to each other about your past and problems, yet your hiding the fact you still pop pills?" He pointed out, "What happends when she finds out? What if something happens to you? Do you even really like this girl? Told her you loved her yet?"

"Dude, its just been a little over two months, nothing major. And so what if she doesnt know? Its not going to kill her, or me. Does Lizzy know you still pop some every no and then?" I asked, turning things toward him.

He nodded yea, "Yea, she knows and she doesn't like it. Yet, I'm slacked down and in the process of quieting."

I rolled my eyes and got up, "Whatever you saw dude, whatever you say."

"Well, just to tell you, your girlfriend will be over here when Lizzy comes for the party tonight." He told me, "Which is soon, so I'd wait on that if I was you."

I flipped him off again and went into the kitchen. I made sure we were stalked up on booze.

After all, tonight was the big New Years Eve party. Its always the biggest one we have. Its a new year, a fresh start.

I grabbed a bottle of jack and took a sip, popping one of the pills Mikey gave me with it. I then went upstairs to my room.

I sat the pills and the bottle of jack on my dresser, then sat on my bed. I looked at the wall were I had written parts of the song I had trouble finishing.
