Broken Promise

May 21st

Molly's P.O.V

Tom hadn't arrived at rehearsal yet and we were all sitting on the floor in Dani's garage sipping beers.

Tom had taken me out on our second date last night. And it had gone very well. I got butterflies just thinking about it. Ew. Gross.

"So then what happened after you guys saw the show? Did he take you back to his place?" Asked Sarah eagerly.

I shook my head and bit my lip.

"No...do you think he should have? I mean it's weird right? We've had sex before so I don't get why he didn't. I hate this bullshit. This is why I didn't want to date in the first place."

Sarah laughed and shook her head while Dani sipped on her beer bottle deep in thought.

"You're a terrible person. Honestly just fucking awful." Said Dani teasingly.

I smirked.

"I know. But like I honestly have no idea where to go from here. Help! I mean we had two really good dates, well I thought they were good, but last night he just kissed me on the cheek and dropped me off at my house. It's not even like I have school or finals anymore so why?"

"I'll ask Mark after rehearsal-"

I glared at Dani.

"You absolutely will fucking not. And you don't tell Mark anything we discuss in the pink triangle of trust got it?"

She raised her hand in surrender.

"Woah ok, ok I won't ask anything. Maybe...he just wants to make it more special this time." Said Dani with a shrug.

I frowned.

"What do you mean? Special how? It's just sex." I asked.

"Awwww this is too adorable. I can't cope. Well what I think Dani is getting at is that Tom cares about you so maybe he wants to go slow this time and kind of rewind over what happened and make this your first real time. I mean you've heard of the third date rule right?" Said Sarah with a slow wink.

I laughed as I felt my face heat.

"Shut the fuck up Sarah! Yeah of course I know about it but I mean I sort of skip straight to the sex usually so it's not something I ever did before...Do you really think that's what he's doing? But I don't want that. Fuck...this is all so confusing and stupid I don't know why I'm even bothering with this dating bullshit."

Sarah smiled at me gently.

"Because you care about Tom enough to try this "dating bullshit" that's why. You're doing this for him even if you won't admit it."

I felt like I was blushing hard. My heart pounded in my chest. I felt so warm all over. Stupid Tom DeLonge fucking up everything I thought I'd known in my life before him.

Car engines idled then turned off. I smiled. Tom and Mark hopped out of their own cars. Weird. They usually rode together. They were both laughing. Hearing them laugh never failed to make me smile.

They were honestly the dumbest most kind hearted guys I'd ever met in my life and I felt awful that I'd been mean to them for so long before. I'd been so wrong. About lots of things not just them.

"Hey baby." Said Mark as he went over to Dani and kissed her.

I gagged.

"Awwwww." Said Sarah.

"Hey." Said Tom as he smiled at me.

"Hey."

He was so completely adorable and I just wanted to kiss him and that was completely unacceptable.
