Love Doesn't Really Exist... Right?

The Kiss

Jade's P.O.V.

I watched as Tristan and his friends drove away. I then turned around and went inside.

"Who the hell were you just with?" my mom screamed. "I can't believe it! It's your first day and you're such a slut that you're already sleeping around!"

Then there was a banging on the door. My mom opened the door and in walked Tristan.

"So, you're the guy who's been fucking my slut of a daughter?" she looked him up and down with a look of disgust as he glared at her.

"No, I'm the one who helped your daughter today when she was almost RAPED! But you wouldn't know that would you? I came back because she dropped her phone in the backseat when I dropped her off! And I heard you call her a slut and say she was sleeping around! You wanna know what actually happened today? She went into a fitting room and one of the employees forced their way in while she was trying to change! Then she screamed and sobbed as he tried to RAPE her! If my sister hadn't heard her screaming, she probably wouldn't be here right now!" I watched as a tear escaped Tristan's eye when he looked at me, I was sobbing once again.

My mom was shocked. "Is that true?" she asked me. I just nodded. Tristan walked over and lifted my shirt up, he pointed the bruises out to my mom.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know." she whispered.

Tristan handed me my phone and I hugged him and said goodbye, then walked upstairs.

Tristan's P.O.V.

I watched as she walked up the stairs. I turned to leave when her mom touched my shoulder. I heard the water running and assumed that Jade was in the shower.

"I'm sorry. I had no idea. I'm not fit to be her mother, I always assume the worst from her and, even when I realize I'm wrong, I can never comfort her." she said, taking me off guard.

"Can you stay the night? She needs someone to comfort her and she no longer wants me, she doesn't trust me and she shuts down whenever I try to help. Please stay the night with her." she begged me. By now the water was off.

"Alright, I'll stay." I said. I got up and went outside.

"Shane, I'm staying here tonight. She needs me, especially with a mom like that. I'll see you tomorrow." I told my brother.

"It's all good dude, just text me when you need to get picked up." with that, he drove away.

I went back inside. "Upstairs, first door on the left." was all her mother said.

I quietly walked up the stairs and went into the first door on the left, just like she said. I saw her curled in a ball, crying into a pillow. I sat on the end of the bed.

"Go away mom, please." she said.

"I'm not your mom." I replied.

She shot up and stared at me, shocked.

"Why are you still here? Does my mom know you're here? Oh shit if she sees you in my room she'll think I'm a slut!" she said frantically.

"Relax, she knows I'm here. She asked me to stay, I was going to anyway though. Even if she didn't want me to." I said, effectively calming her.

I pulled her into my lap. She straddled me again. Then she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me, she pulled back with tears coming from her eyes. I wiped them away and kissed her cheek.

She leaned in and touched her forehead to mine with her eyes closed. "Thank you." she said before closing the distance and putting her lips on mine.

I could tell that she had never really kissed before because she just left her lips still as they were pressed against my own. I took over and started to move my lips. She followed my lead. The kiss was slow, but it was the best kiss I've ever had.

She pulled back after a minute, probably out of breath. She got off my lap and said she'd be back. A couple minutes later she came in with a pair of shorts, sweatpants, and boxers. She handed them to me and said that I needed to change.

I went into her bathroom and took off my clothes, I then put on the boxers and sweatpants. I looked in the mirror and messed my hair up a little, it's a habit. Then I walked out and saw Jade in her undergarments looking through her dresser. She closed the drawer and started to open another one.

I walked over and wrapped my arms around her from behind. She stiffened, then relaxed as she realized it was me. She turned around in my arms and looked me in the eyes.

"Can I tell you something?" she asked. I nodded for her to continue. "That was my first real kiss." she told me.

"What do you mean by real?" I had to ask. A tear escaped her eye.

"I mean that, that was the first time I've ever kissed someone voluntarily." she was crying again.

I dropped the subject and pulled her closer to me. I hate seeing her cry.

After she calmed down, I let go of her and lay down on her bed. She grabbed some stuff and went into the bathroom. She came out a couple minutes later wearing some black short shorts and a neon green tank top. She grabbed her dirty clothes and mine, then left the room.

She walked back in, then she closed and locked the door. She walked to the bed and laid beside me after turning off the light. I draped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer as she cuddled into me.

"Thank you." she whispered.

"The fact that I got to meet you is thanks enough." I replied.

"Really?" she asked. I just nodded my head as I looked into her beautiful eyes.

She sat up and pushed me so that I was laying on my back. She then straddled me as I sat up slightly. She pressed her lips onto mine again, but this time they didn't stay still. She moved her lips against mine slowly, unsure if whether or not she was doing it right. I trailed my hand up her back and stopped when it reached the back of her neck. I pushed her more into the kiss as my other arm wrapped around her waist. I trailed my tongue along her lips and she didn't open, probably unsure of what to do.

I moved my arm down from her waist and squeezed her thigh. She gasped and I put my tongue in her mouth. Our tongues clashed and fought. I let her win as her tongue entered my mouth, then I fought my way back into her mouth. I took her bottom lip between my teeth and pulled gently before kissing her again.

She pulled away, out of breath. I began kissing along her jawline and then down her neck until I got to the spot between her shoulder and neck. She moaned quietly as I continued to kiss and suck that one spot. I removed my lips from her neck and gave her one last peck on her cheek.

I laid her back down on the bed. I then slid down to lay beside her. We lay on our sides, facing each other, both of us breathing heavily. I wrapped my arm around her and once again pulled her closer. Her breathing evened out and I kissed the top of her head, falling asleep to the sound of her steady breaths.
