When we pull into the driveway he’s the first thing I see. Before my mom has the chance to pull into a complete stop my seat belt is off and I’m climbing out of the car “Alicia!” She squeals. I walk slowly up to him, drawn in like a moth to a flame. When I finally get up to him I’m frozen. We stand there in silence examining each other. His once perfect face is now covered in bruises. A purple bruise running along the length of his jaw, a slit in his eyebrow, his lower lip is also split and a little puffy. Under is eyes are dark and sunken in from lack of sleep. “Hi.” he greets me with a half smile. “You’re back.” Is all I manage to squeak out. As if we made some unspoken agreement to, we both take a step closer to each other. I reach out to cup his face in my hand. Upon touching him he leans his face into my hand more. I rub my thumb over his bottom lip and he winces. “Joey what did they do to you?” I mumble, a tear rolling down my cheek. He swipes it away before pulling me into him. I throw my arms around his neck, giving in to his warm embrace. “I love you Alicia.” He whispers in my ear “I love you too.” I say pulling back to look him in his eyes. His beautiful dark brown eyes. I gently and slowly kiss his lips and he sighs kissing me back more passionately. I grip his hair tightly and kiss him with everything I have, as the kiss grows more intense I have to take a step back. “Alicia?” I hear Grey’s voice and I turn around. “Who is this?” Grey asks sounding hurt “Oh um, this is uh-” I stumble over my words “I’m her boyfriend, Joey.” Joey introduces himself. “No, you’re not.” I correct him and he grabs my arm “I’m not?” He asks anger in his eyes. “Joey let me go you’re hurting me.” I say trying to pull my arm free. “You’re mine,” He says squeezing my arm tighter “Say it, you’re mine.” I struggle trying to pull my arm free, tears streaming down my face from the pain. “Joey, please.” I beg “Who do you belong to?” He demands. “Alicia?” Kayla calls my name “Help.” I plead, looking at her “Alicia get up.” She says “Huh?” I respond confused “Wake up we’re here.” She says excitedly. My eyes snap open and I sit up quickly. “You okay?” She asks curiously “Yeah, I was just having a really weird dream.” I reply rubbing my arm. My mom parks her car and Kayla and I rush out. “Girls don’t do that, I barely stopped.” She says as she gets out of the car as well. I walk into the house and I freeze. Multiple game systems are set up in front of the tv. A playstation 2, Atari, Genesis, Wii, and an Xbox Live. “Happy Birthday.” Everyone greets me. To my surprise my mom listened to me and didn’t invite half the world. The only people that’s here is: Gina, Pablo, Grey, a few friends from school, Kayla and Brian. “Thank you mom, I love it so much. I love it” I say hugging her. “Don’t thank me yet you still haven’t gone outside.” She grins. Brian grabs my hand and leads me to the backyard. When I step outside I’m stunned, there are various food trucks and two game trucks. “Kayla.” I stammer gripping my heart dramatically. “What’s wrong?” She asks “There’s so much food. I’m not gonna be able to try it all.” I gasp and she giggles “We’re going to try.” I say confidently “Twin we can’t.” She laughs as I walk off to the first truck “We will try.” I repeat myself smiling excitedly.

Hours later and Gina and Pablo went home, my friends from school went home and Eddy showed up. Now we’re all in the living room playing the “Shrek 2” video game on the playstation 2. “You died, pass the controller.” I demand “No, but Kayla made me die.” Brian argues “No I didn’t.” She laughs “Yes you did, you were supposed to throw one of Red’s apples so I could get across and you didn’t. I only died because you didn’t help me.” He explains “Either way, you died and it’s not from outside interference so pass it.” I say. “Fine.” Brian gives in passing the controller to Grey. Just then there’s a knock on the door “I’ll get it!” Brian shouts “Since I’m the only one not playing now.” He glares at everyone making us laugh. He walks away to open the door and we unpause the game and get back to playing. “Alicia.” Brian calls my name and I pause the game back. “What?” I turn around and my heart drops. This isn’t a dream, this time I’m really looking at Joey. “Hey baby girl.” He says with a half smile “Happy Birthday.” He adds, but I just sit there frozen, scared to move. “Who’s he?” Grey asks snapping me out of my trance “Her boyfriend.” Joey answers for me. “Um, if I remember correctly she broke up with you.” Kayla replies to his answer. “Alicia?” Joey looks to me to take his side “Well I- She’s not wrong Joey.” I mumble “Maybe we should talk in private.” I say getting up and heading up stairs. I walk into my bedroom and sit down on my bed, Joey walks in behind me closing the door and sitting down next to me. We sit there. Saying absolutely nothing. Not even looking at each other. It’s so awkward. I have so many things I want to say to him, ask him. Yet I have no clue what to say. Where to start. I look up at him to see he’s been staring at me this entire time waiting for me to say something. “Joey I- I’m so- I never meant for-” I try to talk “It’s not your fault Alicia, being with you was my choice. I begged you. I wanted you. I want you. I don’t regret it and I don’t want you to apologize for it.” He says sternly looking me in the eyes. Now I’m silent again. Not knowing what to say, but this time I’m staring at him. Looking him in his eyes. I’m just now becoming aware of the sexual tension between us. My eyes flutter down to his lips, longing to feel them pressed against mine, pressed against me. I look back up to his eyes and see a hunger in them that wasn’t there before and I know just what they’re hungry for. I lean forward to kiss him but then I stop myself. What are you doing? Kiss him! Why did you stop? Instead of me doing it, he closes the small gap between us with the most hungry passionate kiss I’ve ever gotten from him and it drives me wild. I wrap my arms around his neck and lean back pulling him down with me. “I want you.” I murmur not breaking away from his lips. “I want you to baby.” He says breaking away to kiss my neck. “So bad.” He bites my neck gently and unbuttons my shorts tugging on them to get them off of me. I lift up some and help him get my shorts off all the way. When they’re off he lays me back down “Where the hell are your panties?” He grins and I bite my lip and shrug. He spreads my legs open and runs his thumb over my clit. “I’ve missed this tight little pussy of yours so much.” He sighs before flicking his tongue over my clit “Mmm.” I sigh as he gently begins to suck my clit “Brian no!” I hear my mom scream downstairs. I sit up so fast I get a little dizzy. Joey and I both look at each other confused. I quickly pull my shorts back on and Joey and I rush downstairs together. When I get there I can’t believe my eyes. “Hey Alicia, Happy Birthday.” James says
