Piercings And Tattoos

Frostys unfoldable table slammed against the shiny wooden floor in the hall, he swore under his breath as he picked it back up to continue with his Legal trial exam. I had barely prepared myself so I blankly stared at the words on the page, glancing over at Serema she furiously wrote but took glances over her shoulder at Cole who was more determined than she was. Giggles came from Sky as Frosty continued to make outlandish faces at her. I was quite surprised to see that they let Frosty come back to sit his exam after yesterdays performance. I stared back at my paper and let the time pass before I actually started to bullshit my way through it. When the 2 1/2 hour test was done I grabbed my bag and left to chill in the library to study for my next exam. My heart dropped when I saw Bronx flicking through his biology notes alone. I took a seat away from him but when I accidentally dropped my notes on the table he looked over at me. Pleading under my breath for him not to approach me did not good as he took the seat opposite me.

"You going to act like a four year old or we going to talk like adults?" He questioned me yet I didn't dare look up from the scattered pages on the table.

"I'd rather study thank you." I coldly answered and clicked my pen. Bronx didn't move from his position and just watched me which made me extremely uncomfortable. After five minutes he stood to collect his notes and sat down with me. I paid no attention to him the entire time I study until it neared the end of the day, I glanced up from my notes to see him. His hair hung in front of his face as he neatly doted down notes, his expression was soft casually biting his lip when he started a new sentence. My soft sigh triggered him to tear himself away from his work to meet my stare.

"Yes?" He ever so softly said blinking at me multiple times.

"Just... See you whenever." I gathered my stuff and stood before getting halfway across the library to stop in my track. I took a deep breath and turned around to walk back to him.

"You coming home? At all?" I asked him but he gathered his notes and stood to his feet to tower over me.

"We are, when we get home I want you showered and dressed elegantly before I take you out for dinner." He forced his words upon me. Before I could speak he pressed his lips against mine to cut me off. The librarian, Jenny Johnson, screeched at our misconduct. I blushed and left the library with Bronx fishing his car keys out of his pocket behind me. On the drive home and I couldn't take my eyes off him as he drove, seeing as I barely saw him anyways made me realize how much I really had missed him. Once home there was chaos, Coles dad was screaming at Frosty indicating towards a hole in his wall and about his suspension. I avoid the talk by going upstairs to dump my school work on the bed before I bumped into Bronx in the hall way. My heart pounded in my chest as I barely prepared myself as he pushed me rigorously against the wall to bring his lips crashing down on mine. As a deep moan escaped his lips a groan came from behind us. He pulled away to reveal Serena and Sky awkwardly standing there seeing as we were blocking the hall way.

"Sorry guys." I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear and ducked off towards the bathroom to shower and change into something elegant as Bronx ordered. I went downstairs to see Frosty handling his ducks, he glanced up at me and smiled.

"You look... Wow." His eyes raked up and down before Bronx came up behind me and shot him a defensive glare. He grabbed my hand and took me out to the car, I had no idea where we were going. It was a half an hour drive till Bronx pulled into the carpark of a restaurant. We took our seats as soon as we entered the building, I sat awkwardly across from Bronx as it seemed all out of place.

"I just... Wanted to apologize for not being there when you needed me." He mumbled looking across at me.

"Its okay." I smoothed down my dress as my gaze lingered on the tables surface, Bronx ordered for us before we sat in silence. Once our food came I merely picked at it with my fork feeling not very hungry.

"What's the matter?" Bronx placed his fork down on the table, letting out a sigh I looked up from the food on my place to meet his stare.

"I don't know." I softly said but sadness lingered in his eyes.

"Is this what our relationship is? Us just small talking because if it is..." He ran his hand down his face before my hands started to shake slightly.

"If its what? Bronx?" I struggled to say before he stood up and left the building. I paid for the food and barged out the front door to see Bronx sitting on the hood of his car with his head in his hands. Slowly approaching him I gently grasped his hands to pull them away to see his face.

"I love you, being with Dana made me realized how much I really do and I do realize how that made you feel. I want to be there for you but in our profession... There's this constant fear about losing you." He confined as a single tear strolled down his cheek, I wiped it away softly before he pushed me back.

"I don't think I can do this... Us I mean." He mumbled and fished out his car keys.

"No Bronx, don't you dare say that! We broke up once and look what happened to the both of us!" I pleaded to him as a wave of nausea washed over me.

"Maybe its for the best, you deserve someone better. Not some disappointing, rejected drop kick." His voice raised slightly. There we stood in the carpark as a cold breeze blew through. My heart racing at the speed of light as I stared at Bronx who stared straight back. He was extremely breath taking in his buttoned up shirt and dress pants yet the tears that ran down his face didn't ruin his appearance at all.

"Bronx, to me your not any of those things." I stepped closer to him yet he moved away to the driver side of the car. Silently he got in and I had no choice but to get in too. The drive home was nerve rattling but when he pulled up in my driveway I looked at him startled.

"Bronx... This is my house not Coles." I gripped the door handle. He knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel tight, his complexion was deadly pale before he exhaled his deep breath.

"I'll get one of the girls to drop off your stuff..." He mutter, I unclicked my seatbelt and fully turned the face him.

"What are you saying? That we're over?!" I exclaimed my voice shaky, Bronx looked over at me.

"Its for the best, for you." He managed to say, I hyperventilated slightly before slapping him hard. I exited the car and ran inside my house startling my pop who remained quiet as I ran into my room slamming the door. Throwing myself onto my bed I sobbed as I felt like my heart shattered into a million pieces. I stayed like that for the rest of the night before I was extremely exhausted. I grabbed any clothes I could find and went down to the bathroom to change out of my dress that I desperately wanted to burn. Upon changing my stomach churned into a rotten feeling and moments later I was vomiting into the toilet, nothing was going well for me today. I flushed the toilet before washing out my mouth and hands, I exited the bathroom and went straight to my room and collapsed into my bed where I knew I wouldn't be leaving for months. Once again I was alone.
