Kissed by a Bullet

Chapter 39 ~ Put that in your sipper cup and chug it

Honest by JoJo *explicit song*

I lift my gaze to Carly as she strolls in, she has huge smile on her face.

I give her one back, forcing it of course I rather be glaring at everything. But Carly did nothing wrong to deserve my wrath.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She exclaimed with Ava following behind with a big smile just at well.

I forcefully laugh. "Thanks guys!" They both give me awkward hugs due to me sitting down.

Carly sat in her seat and Ava sat in the seat in front of me. "So what are you going to be doing on your special day." Ava asks.

Trying to make it through the night without killing myself from alcohol poisoning.

"Oh probably go to the bakery like I do every year." I say nonchalantly not giving it much thought.

"What Jace isn't going to take you out?" Carly asks and it takes every fiber in my body to keep a smile on my face and hide the real truth inside.

"Nah he has to work and you know me I don't like making a big deal about my birthday." I say with a shrug.

I look over in Carly's doey brown eyes, guilt washes over me. I should have called her last night and told her. I should tell her right now, have her help me before it's too late.

But I can't I can't bring myself to tell her that he broke up with me at one o'clock in the morning. I can't just blurt out and say I broke my promise and I went to the rink last night. I can't close my eyes and look away and tell her that I drank and smoked last night.

Instead I look at her dead in the eyes, covering the truth of what happened last night. I look at her with a smile and reinsurance.

I'll let Troy tell her by the time he does or by the time she figures it out. I will be back at the place that gives me what I need.

Numbness.

"Well that dumby, he should have taken you out. I'm sure he'll make up for it, he seems pretty whooped when it comes to you." I give her another smile and laugh. When the pain in my chest starts to rise.

"Carly shut up, she doesn't want to talk about Jace anymore. She talks about him enough. Let's talk about how we are going to celebrate, I was thinking strippers lots lots of strippers." Ava says and I genuinely laugh at her.

"Why do you always talk about strippers? Like come on be more classy then that." Carly rolls her eyes. Ava turns to her and narrows her eyes.

"You would be singing a different tune if an extremely hot male dressed in a marine uniform started waving his nicely firm butt at you. While stripping off his shirt showing off his nicely toned abs." Ava says and Carly blushes and I laugh.

"Okay, okay I see your point." Ava sits back and smirks. The first couple of kids start walking into class.

"Well I got to go, I have to see someone before I go to class." Ava says standing up.

"Is this person Reece Speed?" Carly asks her and Ava leans down for only us to hear as more kids walk into class.

"His last name isn't that for nothing." Ava smirks as Carly and I make a gross face.
