Always & Forever (A 'The Last Of Us' Fanfic)

Chapter 3

Beth and Tommy got to his house. Beth parked on the side of the street, that way it would be easier for her to head back. She got out and opened the door for him. He slowly got out of the truck, not wanting to lose his balance. Beth wrapped one of his arms around her and guided him to the front door. She pulled out the keys and took a few seconds to find the one that opened the door.

"Okay, Tommy. Can you get upstairs on your own or do you need help?" she asked once the door had finally been opened.

He stumbled a little bit as he moved forward just an inch.

"Well, I guess that answers that question. Come on," she said.

She took the time to make sure that he got to his room without any accidents. However, right when they reached the top of the stairs, Tommy moved his free hand over his mouth. Beth started to panic.

"You got a bathroom up here?" she asked.

Tommy signaled to the left with his head. Beth quickly moved him along until they had reached the bathroom. He removed his arm from Beth and knelt in front of the toilet. He picked up the lid then let everything out. Beth made her way downstairs to the kitchen. She grabbed a glass and filled it with water. The sound of Tommy puking his guts out could be heard throughout the house. This whole experience was enough to convince her to never ever get as drunk as Tommy had been.

"Beth!" Tommy called out.

"Coming!" she shouted.

She took the glass upstairs and handed it to him once she reached the bathroom.

"Here. Drink this. You've gotta hydrate yourself," she said.

He took the glass and chugged the whole thing.

"Thanks. And thanks for taking care of me, Beth. You're too good to me," he said grabbing some toilet paper and wiping his mouth.

"So. Have you learned your lesson? Do you want to feel like this again?" Beth asked leaning against the door frame and crossing her arms.

"I think I'm gonna hold off of the liquor until I'm 21," he said leaning against the cold porcelain.

"Good. Glad you've learned something tonight," she said.

"You gonna go back to the party and hook up with my brother?" Tommy suddenly asked leaning back to look at her.

Beth then felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment.

"What...wha-what... what makes you ask that?" she stuttered.

"Seriously? Beth it's so obvious you two are crazy for each other. He's got zero game so it's all up to you to make that happen," he retorted.

"You don't know what you're saying, Tommy. You're drunk," she said.

"I may be drunk but I'm not blind, Bethy," he said smiling weakly.

"So...are you gonna pass out here or are you gonna pass out in your room?" she asked wanting to change the subject.

"I think I've let out all that I can, for now. Nice job in changing the subject by the way," he said.

He started getting up slowly. Beth went over and stood next to him in case he lost his balance.

"I've got you, Tom," she assured him.

"Thanks, Beth. Seriously," he retorted.

She nodded and guided him to the room down the hall.

"Okay. I'm just gonna sleep for all eternity now," he said once he'd flopped onto his bed.

"Sleep as long as you want, kid," Beth said.

"He loves you, you know," he muttered.

"What?" she asked.

"My brother. He loves you. For as long as I can remember. I really hope you guys end up together. I know it would make him real happy," Tommy said kicking his shoes off.

"Why are you telling me all this, Tommy?" she asked.

"Cause I know I'm not gonna remember any of this shit in the morning. So I figured, what the hell," he said.

Beth was rendered speechless. She had hoped that Joel felt the same way but to hear his brother confirm her hopes was a little hard for her to digest.

"Who knows what will happen," Beth said after a long silence.

"Well whatever happens, I hope it happens soon. Thanks again for getting me here. And even though I may not remember how I got here, know that I appreciate it," he said.

"No problem, Tommy. I'll see you tomorrow, okay," she said.

Tommy simply nodded and pulled up his covers. She closed the door slowly and made her way downstairs. She wasn't all that sure about what to do with the information she now had. She honestly thought that she was the one who had the crush. Now that she knew that he felt the same way, it changed things. Or did it? She had been extremely nervous about telling him. The main reason was the fear of being rejected by him. That and the thought of losing him forever. But if he felt the same way, maybe telling him how she felt would be easier. She had to get back to the party. Tonight could be the night that changed everything between her and Joel's relationship. Finally.

Joel was going in and out of sleep. Roxanne couldn't contain her urge any longer. She went ahead and stripped down completely. Before she climbed on the bed, she went over to unlock the door. If Beth did come back, she wanted to make damn sure that she had the best seat in the house. She went back to the bed and straddled Joel.

"Beth?" he asked sleepily.

"I'll be whoever you want for the next few minutes," she whispered.

She went and undid the button on his jeans and carefully pulled down the zipper. Joel opened his eyes and could clearly see it was Roxanne on top of him. He didn't have the energy to push her off. Roxanne was able to pull off his pants and briefs. She had complete control over him. She slowly slid down and was filled with instant euphoria. Joel was the one guy she could never get which was why she wanted him so badly. As much as Joel knew he was gonna hate himself for this, he couldn't deny how great it felt. This was his first time and the feeling was new and sort of wonderful. He placed his hands on either side of Roxanne's hips as she rocked back and forth. She arched her back as the wave of her orgasm was about to hit.

"Oh...Joel," she moaned.

"Beth..." he grunted as he pumped harder into her.

Roxanne didn't care. She had Joel Miller. She had finally gotten to ride him like she had always wanted. And he felt incredible inside her. She never wanted this to end.
