Just Not Meant To Be

26~ School

Tatum Bartra

Last night was officially the night I lost my actual virginity. Yes, I was raped but in my book that doesn't count. It was amazing, I wanted more, but we were both tired and it was 1 when we stopped. How long is sex supposed to be? Who cares its awesome. He also asked me to be his, in the middle of it. I said yes. But thought I was making a mistake. All though I broke up with Ashton.

“Shortcake, wake up you need to go to school, and to my brother drop him off.” Ace says, kissing the bottom of my ear. Also known as my weak spot. I giggle and roll over, removing the blankets when the cold air hits me, I grab them again and turn back to Ace.

“Can you pass me some undergarments.” I ask, my eyes half opened.

“Yeah.” He gets up and throws some at my face.

“Thanks, babe.” I muffle and slip them on. But end up falling asleep.

“Don't make me, Shortcake.” He warns and I sit up.

“Don't, Look I'm up.”

“What should I wear?”

“It doesn't matter you're gorgeous anyway.” Ace says kissing my cheek. He has pre washed jeans and a black crew neck, does he know he's in LA.

“Babe, you know where in Cali. And you have a crew neck on.” I explain and throw my outfit on the bed. I walk to his room next to mine and look thru his clothes, I pass him a tank top I bought him yesterday. “Better.” I sway my way out and put my clothes on. Which is denim shorts, black crop top, red/blue flannel, and black wedges. I walk out to the living room and see Ace sitting there.

“What about breakfast mister?” I ask.

“Sawyer’s doing that.” He says and scrolls thru his phone, which reminds me of mine. I run back to the room and grab my phone off the charger, seeing a bunch of messages and calls. I lock my phone and walk into the kitchen surprised not to see it burning down.

“No need to cook hun, some cereal will be fine.”

“Kay, I would've burned the place down anyway.” We laugh and make some cereal bowls.

“Ace, foods in here.” I shout for him. He walks in and we all eat our cereal rather fast so we won't be late.

“Okay, here lunch money, uh and some money for lockers and shit like that. I think Tate is picking you up as well. Have fun. And Tate your grown enough. Be careful. And have fun as well.” Ace ruffles Sawyers perfect hair and kisses my forehead. And runs out the house like nothing.

“He always ruins my hair.” Sawyer growls and fixes his hair. Like his brother he has a jacket on.

“What is wrong with you people and wearing clothes you can die in.”

“What, the jacket? Yeah, I know. Im not sure this is school appropriate.” He unzips his jacket and shows me his shirt, its a cartoon girl, with half her boob showing.

“You gives a shit, drop the jacket and lets get going. You get in trouble give them my number.” I tell him and he takes it off and we rush to my car. Its only a 15 minute ride to his school, and Ace gave me directions on how he needs to be signed into the school, which makes me have to get out. We walk onto campus, as I get a hell of wolf whistles.

“Grow up.” I snap and walk into the office.

“How may I help you? Wait you're a student here, next.”

“No, hes a student here. I'm a student at the college 10 minutes from here. I'm here to sign him in.”

“You look so young, how old are the both of you?” The lady asks.

“Just turned 18, hes 15.”

“Wow you're so young. You should be in high school.”

“I know, can we just get him in. Like I said college to attend.”

“Is he your son?”

“Yeah, cause I had him at 3. No, its my boyfriends little brother.”

“Watch the to--”

“Mrs.Daniels, I'll take care of them.” A guy in his early 20 says. Wow he looks young even be in the office of a high school. “Hi, I'm sorry about her. You know how the elderly can be.” He whispers.

“Ye. So uh, can we get him in or nah?”

“Yes ma’am. Right this way.” We walk with him to an office.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Thank you.” I say and walk out of the second office today. I got Sawyer into school and myself in college in a matter of almost 2 hours. My first class is tomorrow at 2. I'm in a journalism college, and already like it. Now what should I do for 7 hours.

When I get a phone call. Not caring who it is I answer.

“Yes?”

“By any chance do you have, denim shorts on with a red flannel and black shirt and shoes on?” I can tell who it is.

“Why are you calling me, and how do you know what  have on?”

“Because, I love you. And I'm--” He hangs up. “Behind you.” I jump and scream.

“Get away from me.” I snap and back away towards my car.

“But babe.”

“I'm not your babe anymore.”

“Kitten?”

“Don't call me that.” My phone starts ringing again. I answer and relieved by who it is.

“Hey, wanna meet up at the house, for more of last night?” Ace asks.

“Yes, and you saved me. Ill be home in a bit.” I hang up and run into my car.

“Who was that?” Ashton asks and steps closer grabbing my phone. He reads the name and goes red.

“Really? Him.”

“Why do you care? Why don't you go swap some more spit with that girl or Kitten?” I snap and go to the side of my car. Taking my phone back.

“That was a mistake. You're my kitten.”

“I don't care. You should've stopped yourself. And don't call me that.” I snap again. Opening my door and slamming it, I look at him square in the eye.

“I hate you, Ashton Camarda.” I mutter and back away, looking at him and seeing hurt. I drive away, and melt in my seat. Just silently crying. When I get home, I park and cry my eyes out. When there's tapping on my window. I turn to see Ace. I smile and open the door, letting myself sink into his warm hug.

“What happened?”

“An ex decided to show up.”

“Well, I'm here, why don't we just cuddle and rest for awhile.” I nod and he carries me inside.

Ashton Camarda

I hate you, Ashton Camarda. I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.I hate you, Ashton Camarda.

Just what I wanted her to hate me. I slam my fist repeatedly into a nearby wall till, I cant feel my hands anymore. I call Mason to pick me up and just go home.

“What happened bro?”

“She hates me.”

“Fuck. What did you do?”

“Got pissed cause she said to go my kitten. A.KA the stripper from the other night. Then I find out shes with Ace. The guy from Great Falls.”

“Are you going to fight for here?”

“Dude, she fucking hates me. I don't have a chance.”

“That's true.”
