Chapter 7-
My life had changed before I knew it. I was in a brand new city and knew only the band. Black Veil Brides was busy in the recording studio making their first album 'We Stitch These Wounds'. Their sound was something I'd never heard before and I loved it, but I don't think I'll ever get used to my boyfriend wearing more makeup than myself. "Babe lets go out." I asked sitting on my sofa bored. "and go where my love?" he asked rapping an arm around me. "Anywhere! I'm stuck in this house all day while you're working." I said sticking my bottom lip out. "Wanna go shopping?" he asked lifting me into the air. "Well we do need groceries." I said as we closed our front door. Oh god! I'm a housewife at 18!
"I've been thinking..." he started as we walked down the frozen food isle. "Yes?" I picked out frozen pizzas. "You should go to college." He said softly. "For what?" I asked spinning around harshly. "I have my music that keeps me going. You need that too." He said trying to keep calm. "I don't know what I want to do." I said almost defeated. "That's the point. Go and take a few classes and see what you like." He said gaining speed in his voice. "I hate you when you're right." I said narrowing my eyes. "Yes I know." He said smiling and kissing my cheek. College bound I am...
"What do you wanna do with your life?" "What do you wanna be?" "What are you involved in?" I had no answers to any of these things. The college advisor clearly saw that I had no idea what I wanted; she put me in freshman English, intro to psychology, and a basic history class. I start classes in 2 days. "You gonna miss me while I'm at school?" I asked Andy as he looked over my classes. "Wait! Does this mean you're gonna be my sexy school girl?" he asked giving a look; I could tell what he was thinking about. "Oh you wish." I giggled winking at him. "What if I beg?" he said pulling me into his lap. "Never gonna happen." I said sticking my tongue out. He did the grossest thing ever and licked my tongue. "EW EW EW!" I squealed as I ran away from him. "Come back here!" he said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me back. Well...let's just say he made me be his sexy school girl that night...
"Ok class this is intro into psychology. We're gonna get the basic's down. There are 6 approaches to evaluate a case.
1. Behavioral- behavior viewed as a response from learning
2. Sociocultural- cultures influence on behave
3. Neurobiological- chemical and physical changes that cause certain behaviors
4. Psychoanalytical- analyzing behavior
5. Humanistic- Humans have the will to make their lives what they want and that all humans are generally good.
6. Cognitive- Thoughts and internal sentences
"Take notes as I speak or else you'll fail my class." My new professor, Mr. Jackson, said as he stood in front of the class in a strong form. I think I'll do fine in this class...
"Hey did you catch the last notes?" a girl asked me as everyone filed out of the class. "Yeah, do you want to go to the library and copy them? I gotta study anyway." I offered as I gathered my books. She nodded and followed me to the library. It smelt like old books, old leather, and mustiness; it smelt like home. "I'm Lexi by the way." She said as she color coated her notes. "Jessica." I said as I copied over my history notes once again; I needed them to be in order or else I won't understand what's going on. "What's your major?" she asked closing her notebook. "Don't have one." I said feeling the back of my neck heating up. "Cool I wish I could have done that! But you know the whole 'parents know best thing'." She said rolling her eyes. I finally looked her over and saw that she had pretty brown eyes with soft brown ringlets falling right under her chin, her notebook was already covered in band stickers; I think I'm gonna like this girl.
"You like bands I'm assuming." I said breaking the awkward silence. "Well doesn't everyone?" She said laughing. I felt my neck heat up more. She didn't have the same background as I did. "um well my boyfriend is in a, well I guess, a local band." I said. should I be telling people this? well if he gets mad I'll just say I'm spreading the word. "what type are they?" she asked, her Interest growing. "rock, screamo? they type of thing." I shrugged my shoulders and decided that I needed to ask Andy this. "oh cool cool! text me next time they have a show." She said writing her number down for me. did I just make a friend?! score one for jessica!
"Honey I'm home!" Andy said later that night. I rolled my eyes as I put the garlic bread in the oven; I chose to make pasta and garlic bread to celebrate my first day. "I've trained you well." he said slapping my butt. "oh shut up." I said giggling. "how was school?" he said setting the bar with 2 plates and glasses. "I think I met a friend! I did a shallow thing and bragged about you." I said turning the stove and oven off. "I'm happy to help. next time brag about my penis!" he said laughing. "oh you pervert." I said dividing up the food. "I can always show you what you'll be bragging about." he said kissing my neck. "sorry baby but a frequent sex life isn't what I'm in to." I said taking a bite out of my pasta. "good think I'm into something else." he said pushing me softly against the bar. "but I'm hungry." I half way wined. "I am too...can you find me thing to eat?" he said unbuttoning my jeans. "oh god." I said laughing and pulling him into our bedroom.
"Ok now I'm hungry." Andy said lighting a cigaret. "those things are gross." I said scrunching up my nose. "maybe but they give me such a smooth and sexy voice." he said putting it out. "thank you." I said kissing his shoulder as I pulled on one of his loose fitting shirts. "where are you going?" he asked sitting up in alarm. "I'm sorry but I was honestly hungry." I said skipping off the reheat the dinner I didn't finish...
