How Could You ?

Connecting The Dots

Lauren's POV

I stopped trying to wiggle out of her arms and kissed her back. I felt so comfortable with her. She was the first girl I'd actually caught feelings for. We'd been friends since third grade and when it was the summer before ninth grade we, experimented. We were both virgins and neither one of us knew anything about sex. It was Melanie's idea to even try anything. She came on to me and I didn't know how to make her stop so I went with it.

She told me she knew what she was doing because she had found a stack of movies in her parents drawer one day looking for lunch money. When she came home that same evening, she went to the same drawer and told herself "I bet these movies are new". Since her mom and dad hid all the new dvds because she always took them and never brought them back. She said as soon as it came on, she couldn't stop watching.

She heard a door slam and she quickly turned off her tv and ran to the back doors to pretend she was playing. Every since she started watching those, she showed them to me and I told her I wanted to try that. "With a guy". That's when she planned we'd get these two guys at our school to try it with. They were totally down.

After them, I couldn't stop myself. Any hot guy with money and a nice car turned me on. I would let them chase me, of course. A few of the guys asked for three somes with their girlfriends wives. We were talking about an obscene amount of money. How could a girl say no to that?

On my hunt for my next sex-athon, I found Tyler. He treated me different than other guys. He would look at me and I looked at him he turned his head quickly. I walked over to him and we sparked up conversation. Unexpectedly, he asked me on a date. I'd never been on a real date and that's what made him so different.

Then I remember being with him since a third of our freshmen year and on July 29, he proposed. Then my brain went off like a ticking bomb. He proposed July 29, I was so close to having sex with Mel. Then it hit me again.

"THE LETTER! Mel wanted me to Tyler about us nearly sleeping together. SHE SHOT ME! No that's ridiculous! She was right behind me in the wedding when I was shot. That doesn't change the fact she's the only one who knows what we did. I stopped dancing and pushed her off me. Tears filled my eyes.

"You conniving b-tch, you hired someone to shoot me at my own wedding!"
