First Love

Heartaches

Damien's POV

I watched as Jordan pushed him onto the lockers. Dante wasn't taking his shit and punched him in his cheekbone. I was in shock. Jordan stumbled from the hit. Dante walked out of school because Jordan just stood there probably just as shocked as I was. 

I chased after Dante trying to catch up with him. When I was near him I called out to him but he didn't turn around. So I dragged him into an alleyway hoping he'd finally listen to me.

"Listen, I'm sorry and I'll never do anything like that again," I said looking at him with a serious tone.

"Fuck you!" he said as he started to walk off but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back and pinned him against the wall. His head was turned sideways so I cupped his chin in my hand to make him look at me. I stared into his eyes and got lost. He looked back at me with sadness in his eyes. I inched towards him seeing that he didn't make any signs of wanting me to stop I kissed him softly after first feeling butterflies in my stomach I kissed him harder moving closer. I licked his lips asking for permission to enter. I swirled my tongue around his and left a trail of spit as my tongue left his mouth. I bit his lip and grabbed his hair to turn his head sideways for access to his neck. Licking his soft spot as he whimpered. 

"Let's go to my place," I whisper in his ear as he nodded.

When we arrived we take our shoes off and our pants and hop in the bed. He comes close to me and lays on my chest as I play with his hair. After about 20 minutes of us cuddling in bed alone with our thoughts, I noticed that he fell asleep. After a while, I drifted asleep as well.  

 Damien's Flashback/Dream

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Your dad is downstairs!" my mom says.

I quietly have a little breakdown in the middle of my room because I don't want to see that piece of shit. I decide to just say fuck it and go meet him. Bad decision.

As I'm walking down to meet my dad I trip on a step and roll down the stairs.

"Hi..." I say as my father stares at me in disbelief.

My mom breaks the awkward tension.

"Ahem, so you guys chat while I finish up making dinner!"

My dumb ass dad finally speaks up.

"So how have you been lately Dante?" my dad says energetically

"Pretty good, you?" I say with absolutely no interest at all.

"Good, I just found out the boy we're adopting is 16!" he says right before covering his mouth like he wasn't supposed to say that.

"You're adopting somebody...with who!?" I say angrily.

My mom runs into the living room and starts screaming at my dad with tears in her eyes. I sit there confused, angry, just a bundle of emotions. I run upstairs and begin to cry as I listen to them arguing and screaming. After at least an hour of screaming and throwing things I hear a loud bang then a crash. I run downstairs wondering what happened.

I run downstairs wondering what happened. As I reach the bottom of the stairs my heart drops. My mom is on the ground with blood running down her nose. My dad is still on top of her beating her, so I run and tackle him and start punching him repetitively.

My mom begs me to stop but I don't hear her at the moment I'm just focused on watching this fucker bleed. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

My mom pushes me off of him.

"GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" I scream with tears falling down my cheek.

He limps out without a word. I give my mom the first aid kit without looking at her directly because I couldn't bear the pain of seeing her because I know I'd do something I would soon regret. After handing her the first aid kit, I run upstairs and shut my door behind me and I immediately start crying.

I gasp as I wake up from this recurring flashback and Dante woke up from my sudden movement. 

"You ok?" he says while rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah, just a nightmare," I say while sitting up checking the time on my phone.

8:00 PM

"Fuck, it's late. I'll drive you home."

He nods still sluggish because he just woke up. 

I get into the driver's seat while he sits in the passenger side. The car ride back was silent beside him giving me directions to his house. Once we arrived we said our goodbyes and I drove off.

I make my way up to the door unlocking it with my key. I'm scared of what my mom is going to say. I make my way up the stairs and those damned creaky stairs. This time she isn't waiting for me at the top of the stairs. This just makes me even more nervous. I head to my room trying to make the least noise possible as I turn the handle. When the door fully opens it's too dark to see anything. I turn on the light and I almost scream. My mom is sitting on the bed looking at me. 'She was just sitting there in the dark waiting for me? What the fuck.' I thought to myself. 

"Care to explain why you're home at 8:45 PM when school ends at 3:00 in the afternoon?" she says looking scary as hell.

"It was a study group for science class I thought I texted you." 

"You need to start being more responsible. You're going to make me get you a tracker like Life 360." 

"Sorry! It won't happen again I swear," I say hoping she'd take that and not give anything like that. I feel sorry for anybody with any type of tracker. I honestly think that's extreme, especially if you didn't do anything life-threatening.

"Yeah, yeah ok," she says walking towards my door but turns around.

"Also, your high school called and said you punched someone? Yeah, you're grounded." 

Fuck me.
