Come Back

9 // The Truth.

Erikas pov-
Monday Morning.
I felt so different. Not being a virgin made me feel so alive. Like i was a new person. I talked to my mom and told her that i lost my virginity. She did the whole 'concerned mom' act, and questioned me. "Did you use protection?"  "Who was the guy?" "Did you like it?" "Do you see yourself being sexually active, and if so.. will it be with different guys?" Just a bunch of annoying questions. I thought she was going to just take the news and leave it at that.. like she did with Chance.
I almost regretted telling her, but i knew it would eat me alive if i kept it in.
The next person i would tell, would be Tessa. She would probably judge me a little, but i know she wont  tell everyone. I didn't want to tell Logan or Tony.. much less Chance. They'd cause a big problem.
I woke up and got ready for school. When I went downstairs and saw Chance eating and i guess Tony was still up in his room.

Erika: Morning
Chance: yo.

I just moved along and made myself breakfast. Egg whites and Toast with Avocado.

Erika: wheres mom?
Chance: she texted me said shes taking a 48 hour shift at work
Erika: oh my gosh, shes gonna work herself to death.
Chance: Agree.

We finish eating and I left for school early to catch up with Tessa. Chance and I finally got our cars on Saturday, so no more car pooling. I got to school and Tessa was there in the front waiting for me. I got out my car and walked to her.. On the way i saw Jake and some chick kissing/making out. I rolled my eyes and i felt my mood change. I already knew my day was gonna be bad. I met Tessa and she came up to me..

Tessa: so, whats so important that i had to meet you at school almost an hour early?
Erika: i need coffee
Tessa: we couldn't meet at a coffee shop?
Erika: nope, come on.

We walked back to my car and went for a quick coffee run. Chance texted and asked me to bring him and Anthony some coffee so i bought them one too.
Tessa was talking the whole time, and i was so annoyed i didn't even listen to her. Until she told me something that caught my attention.

Tessa: i might've sorta.. hooked up with your brother
Erika: you did what?
Tessa: it was once, we haven't done anything or said a word to each other. I just wanted to tell you.
Erika: well.. im not mad, just surprised.. i knew you liked my brother but enough to have sex with him?
Tessa: god, i kinda regret it. I know we wont see each other the same way anymore.

We pulled up and met the squad. I handed the boys their coffee and Jake walks up to us with the chick

Jake: hey guys.. you all remember Hailey?
Logan: i thought her name was Hannah?
Chance: no, it was Heather..
Anthony: Bro, it was Holly.
Tessa: guys... its Hailey.
Erika: i could've sworn it was Helen.
Jake: ENOUGH. Its Hailey. And you know her Erika.. shes on your team.
Erika: no shes not.. we don't allow SLUTS who are always late, and bad at cheer, on the team.
Hailey: hey im not bad at cheer.

Everyone laughs except for Jake, Hailey and Tessa. Tessa hits my arm softly and mouths "calm" to me. I just roll my eyes and flash a fake smile.
Jake and I make eye contact, he looked hurt and i know i did too. But i just shake it off. He used me, just like Chance said boys would do. I planned on building a strong wall around me (figuratively) and not letting any boy knock it down. We all head to class and of course my first period was filled of laughs, and flirts between Logan and I. Nothing serious, just messing around.
Second period, Jake sat next to me but we didn't say a word to each other.. instead his girlfriend came and sat in front of us and talked the whole period. I was about ready to snatch her head, but the bell saved her.
The rest of my day was fine, it wasn't exciting, just a boring Monday.
When i got in my car, i started balling. I think it was the idea that Jake used me, and i let him. The fact that i let him take my virginity and he just goes back with his ex,  annoyed and frustrated me so much to the point where i was crying. I got like that. I was the person who got so mad, they cried. (Im actually like this irl & it suckssss)
When i got home my eyes were blood shot and my mascara was running. It was so obvious that i was crying. I snuck in the house hoping Chance or Anthony weren't home.. but the were and they were waiting for me in the kitchen.

Chance: hey Erika.. i need to talk to you.
Erika: uh yeah .. ill be down in a minute.

I went upstairs and tried to clean myself up before i had to go back downstairs.

Chance's POV-
I got home and told Anthony what happened between Tessa and I. He was shocked, i told him i might be catching feelings for her. But i wasn't sure how she felt. He told me to ask Erika.. given that they're best friends and all. So i waited for Erika to get home, and when she did, she went straight to her room.
Something was off, she usually raids the fridge when she gets home, before anything.
I look at Tony and we're both confused.

Chance: ill go see whats wrong
Anthony: yeah shes kinda been acting weird-

I run upstairs and hear Erika crying softly. I knock on her door and i hear her mumble "shit"

Chance: Erika.. Are you crying?
Erika: n-no

I open her door and see her on her bed with a million tissues around her. They're all wet and black, from her tears and makeup im guessing. I close the door and walk to her bed and sit beside her.

Chance: whats wrong kid?
Erika: i- i miss mom thats all
Chance: don't lie to me Erika
Erika: im not
Chance: you are- now who hurt you
Erika: fine. but you cant get mad.
Chance: i cant promise that
Erika: then promise you wont act on your emotions, after i tell you.
Chance: i cant do that either
Erika: CHANCE!
Chance: fine i promise on both things.

She pauses, and hesitates to talk.. i can see shes really hurting.

Chance: Erika tell me.
Erika: Well.. the night of your party. I lost- lost my virginity
Chance: WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? TO WHO?!
Erika: Chance, calm down.
Chance: fine.. keep going..
Erika: and then i saw the guy today, with another girl and i thought he liked me, i was starting to fall for him.. but today made me realize you were right. He just used me.
Chance: tell me who it was. Please?
Erika: it- it was Jake.

Chances eyes lit up and he stormed out my room. I knew this wasn't gonna be pretty.

OHHHHHH SNAPPPPPPP ! WHATS CHANCE GONNA DO ?!!! FIST FIGHT? Keep reading to find out(;
