Miss Jackson

Chapter 24

"Ashley, I'm so sorry" I cry to her on the phone.
"I can't believe you're moving to Arizona. What am I going to do without you? And you're not even coming back to school?" She asks.
"No, Brendon's going to finish out the quarter there and then we're leaving in December"
"Next month...fuck. Delilah, is this really what you want?" She questions.
"Almost as much I want Brendon. We need to leave California and start somewhere new. If my parents manage to get out of prison early, they will find me and possibly murder Brendon and I both. I won't let anything happen to Brendon" I wipe the tears from my eyes.
"Delilah, if this is what you want then how can I say no. I'm happy for you and Mr. Urie" she sniffs.
"Ugh! Could you not call him that? That's so weird" I cringe.
"You use to call him that" she laughs.
"Before we were dating"
"Well I'm not dating him so"
"I'm well aware. Just...it's weird." I shrug and bite my nails.
"Whatever, I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss-" I say but get cut off by Brendon coming back in. "I'll call you back" I tell her and hang up.

"Hey Bren. How did it go?" I stand up from the couch and pull my shirt back over thighs.

"Bad at first but we worked it out" he tells me.

"That's good. I'm proud of you Bren" I smile, shaking my finger at him in a joking manner. He snickers and grabs my hand with both of his, large hands, covering mine.

"What?" I ask.

"I just love how you're pretending like all that shit that just happened didn't. I admire you for that" he looks from my hand in his to my face.

"Well" I shrug. "If I don't ignore it, it will haunt me forever. It's in the past and that's where I plan to keep it" my lips tug into a small smirk. I reach my free hand up to his hair and push the stray pieces of hair back with the rest. We both stay quiet, just standing there and then he pulls me in for a tight hug, wrapping his large body around mine like a cocoon, I nuzzle my nose into his chest and melt into his embrace. Then he pulls away, checking out me out.

"I like this look on you D. My shirt and underwear. It's very cute" he spins me in a circle.

"Thank you" I smile.

"You know where it'd look better?" He raises an eyebrow.

"On your bedroom floor" I mock.

"I don't know, lets go find out" he takes one of his hands off of mine and pulls me to the bedroom.

Brendon's Pov

I roll over and my arm lays across Delilahs bare chest and I hum in happiness. I pull myself up and rest my chin right above her left boob.

"Delilah, that was worth the wait" I look up at her bright blue eyes.

"Hmmm?" She asks, as if she was staring off in space.

"It's been a solid 3 weeks since we had sex, that was like the first time again." I explain.

"You say that everytime" she lets out one small laugh type hum.

"But this time was really great" I wrap my arm around to her right side and lightly scratch my fingernails against her skin until I feel goosebumps. Her left hands goes up to my hair and she plays with it for a while. I pull myself up more, so our heads are at the same level, my hand still at her right side, doing the same thing.

"You're a goofball" she smirks.

"I'm your goofball" I smirk back.

"Yeah" she kisses my cheek. "I wouldn't trade you for the world."
"I love you" I tell her. She rolls over so that were facing each other, my hand sliding to her back, my pointer finger now tracing circles in her back.
"I love you too" she pokes my nose. "But I'm hungry" she sits up.
"Make me a sandmech" I order with a laugh and smack her ass when she gets off the bed.
"With that attitude you deserve to starve" she jokes as she pulls on one of my old baggy t-shirts, that goes past her thighs. She runs out of the room.

"Here douche." She slides a plate with 2 big, meaty sandwiches on it on to the bed.
"I was joking D" I laugh.
"Yeah but I didn't want you to starve entirely"
"How thoughtful" I smirk. She hops back on the bed and grabs one of the sandwiches and takes a big bite.
"That's sexy" I nod. She nods too and swallows down the bite.

"Morning" I kiss her cheek. She groans and turns over, pulling the blanket over her face. She hates that I wake ever since she stopped going. It's my fault mostly, I asked her to wait till we got to Arizona to finish school because I didn't want to risk anything. But since I got back from the trip an that whole incident happened, I still had to go to work because my contract says I have until the end of the quarter which ends next month and if I break I have to pay a shit ton of money.
"I'm leaving for work baby. I'll see when I get home" I peck her lips. I grab my things and walk out to my car, right before I open the passenger door to set my things in, I feel a person jump on my back. I laugh and turn around to Delilah.
"See you tonight Bren" she smirks. She reaches up and pecks my lips. My lips curve into a humble smile and then I kiss her back, this time making it longer.
"God, I love you" I hum. She smirks once and walks away. I get in my car and drive off.

When I get to the school, I park in my normal spot and run up to the doors, I swing them open and walk in. I see all the familiar faces and grin as I swing my keys back and forth on my way to my classroom. Can't believe I only have a month left here. I set my brief case on my desk and sit down.
"Hey Brendon" a soft voice says and there's a light tap on my door. I sit up in my seat and peer further to see who it is-it's Caroline.
"Hey Caroline" I smile at her, gesturing for her to come in.
"How was your trip?" She asks, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Fine" I shrug.
"I missed you a little" she mimicks my shrug and sits down in front of me at a desk.
"Oh, really? Why?" I question.
"I don't know, I miss your witty jokes and that big forehead of yours" she laughs and I do too. "This all has me thinking about our fling a few years ago"
"Oh.." I swallow. I forgot about that, I haven't thought about that since Delilah came around.
"Do you ever think about it?" She questions.
"Honestly, no I don't"
"Oh...right cause of Destiny" she sighs, looking down at her hands and I nod.
"Yeah, she's the love of my life" I clear my throat. "Destiny is..." *Delilah*** I correct myself in my head.
"I figured as much" she sighs and I nod again, leaning back in my chair. "Tell me about her, what's she like?"
"I don't know if you want me to go there Caroline..." I shake my head warning her.
"Please, if I can't be with you I want to know about the girl who has you head over heels. Tell me, how'd you meet?" She asks. I lean back in my seat trying to compile a lie.
"We met" I cough. "At my family's barbecue during the summer, it's funny actually. She was dating my brother but as soon as we met, we just clicked. She broke up with him and we started to talk. We began dating and we've been infatuated with each other ever since" I lie.
"Oh, sounds nice." She nods. "And how long have you been together exactly?"
"4 months" I nod.
"Mm, wow. Sounds great, just wish I could find someone"
I stay quiet and nod.
"I better get back, good catching up" she stands and leaves the room.
