HELP ME! I'm Falling

Forbidden Fruit

Soon as I walk out the door I can hear the music, the road was packed with cars, there are only three houses on my road, so that just mean Dylan’s party is already in full swing. Dylan's house is just a tad bit smaller than mine
(like who really cares) but Mr.James has a huge car shied it's bigger than their house for his large collection of muscle cars, as well as a cute guest house where Dylan throws most of his parties.
I see Kris waving at me trying to get my attention, I walk towards her she's talking to Lacrosse Captain and her latest victim Flin Crawford. Kris looks great her blond hair effortlessly highlighting her face, her blue strapless bikini top with floral bottoms she could pull off a paper bag, she's hella fit from cheerleading.
“Ross you’re a total babe!” Kris exclaimed as I approached her,
“Why thank ya” I say with a curtsy
“Flin should be worshiping the ground you walk on” I complemented. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the back it was packed with high school students music blaring kids in the pool, a bunch of girls laying on the beach chairs trying to attract their male pry. “Ross you missed it Reagan went up to Dylan when we were talking to him and was like awe Dylan were you waiting for me how sweet” said Kris doing her best Reagan impression
“Dylan was like no actually I'm waiting for Rosslyn have you seen her? She was so mad and she pushed some Junior into the pool as she was stomping away” laughed Kris while she informed me of the scene Reagan had caused “So she's gone home then?” I ask not wanting to run into her after that
“Yep her and her disciples except Anna-Rose who decided that making sure her boyfriend got home safe was more important than Reagan's  tantrum” said Flin, I was completely unaware he was following us.
I head over towards the pool house where Sabrina and Matty are talking to our moody host Dylan.
“I love your one piece Sebbie” I tell her as we approach them  the deep V-neck stops just above her belly button and the light colour complements her pale skin,
“Thanks Matty thinks it's too revealing” she says making quotations with her fingers, Matty puts a protective arm around her
“I'm sorry that I don't like the Idea of a bunch of horny guys checking out MY girl I do not want to share what is rightfully mine” Matty says placing a kiss on the top of Sabrina's head, she just rolls her eyes at her neanderthal of a boyfriend.
“Well that's gonna be hard there Matty she's a babe and shes best friends with the most beautiful girl in school” I say jokingly flipping my hair as dramatically as possible,
“I would say the most beautiful” Dylan said bluntly, ouch kick me while Im down there Dylan.
“Says the guy that wanted her here,” stated Kris
“That's besides the point” he defended  
“sure Dylan whatever you say” I patted him on the shoulder and walk away. Moody git seriously he was all nice and sweet earlier and i get here after he was looking for me and now hes being tool. The comment isn't the problem it was his tone. The great thing about Dylan having his party outside is that no one is squished together, and the other thing is the James’ hot tub is huge.
“Hey Ross want to join me?” Tatum called from said hot hot tub, Tatum Pierce he's a breath of fresh air that one always making people laugh and flirting with all the girls me especially it's all in good fun so I flirt back. I walked over to him and sit on the edge dipping my feet in not quite ready to take my overalls off and give the student body a show and by show I mean the sight of my ass that has been the talk of the school since Track started in April for some reason like I know most runners don't really have much of an ass but seriously.
Tatum was telling me about how at the last party Dylan was salty because I didn't come.
“I don't get why though he barely talks to me during history then he  just implied that I'm ugly like two minutes ago” I tell Tatum
“He wants you to come have fun with us and get out of the  house but then he sees you looking all sexy'n’shit and all he can think about is how you Rosslyn Miss Sex Goddess were with Mr.Perfect from Cornwall and how that asshole use to rub it in his face that you were with him and not Dylan you were the trophy and Dylan lost the game” Tatum finishes he really knows what he's saying
“First of all are you Dr. Phil and second sex Goddess seriously? Lastly Jake perfect HA don't make me laugh he's a cheating piece of shit that is obsessed with beating Dylan at everything and that's all I ever was a trophy” I confess for some reason,
“I'm easy to talk to, plus I know things I'm not dumb I'm observing and yeah sex Goddess because last Halloween you were Aphrodite and they are arch enemies and you got caught in the middle but Dylan has feelings and insecurities that Jake the snake uses against him not caring if he hurt you in the process” Tatum should be a therapist or something he is really easy to talk to or is he just that drunk I don't know.
“So your saying that the  reason Dylan wants me has nothing to do with Jake and their stupid rivalry because that's pretty fucked up, just like the hockey team making a fucking bet about who ever gets in my pants gets free drinks and every jock is in on it except the Lacrosse guys because my baby brother would kill them” Jamie told me about it two weeks ago after some jockstraps approached him and his teammates not realizing that he's my brother.
“Oppose to popular belief I've only had sex with two people and one of them is Jake and we only had sex once, so I dont get why it drives you all crazy I’m not some super experienced sex Goddess” I said using my matter of fact tone.
“It's not just you Scott made a list of five girls and you just happen to be on the top he came to us to and Dylan told him fuck off and quit being fucking pig or he's gonna get a STI by graduation,” if he doesn't have one already I shiver at the thought of Scott Bell slimy git.
“But Ross you are like the Holy Grail of babes don't ask why I can't tell you, you just are” he says passing me a Bud Lite lime. What the heck is wrong with the guys in this town, I crack open my beer and take a long swig, I don't really like beer unless its Corona but I'll drink anything at this point. “It's kind of funny y'all high school guys saying the Holy Grail of babes Ash calls me The Forbidden Fruit” I say trying to find the humor in their biblical references towards me in a sinful manner,
“like Ashton McCallister that dude pierced my nipple! Whys he call you that? isn't he like your brother's best friend?” whispered Tatum slowly moving closer
“Yes he is and because everybody wants a taste they can't resist”I whisper seductively in his ear his breath hitches and gets up I smile to myself knowing shit just got real he lowers his hand for me to grab I put my beer down and take it, Dylan is glaring at us from the pool house Tatum picks me up throwing me over his shoulder with one swift move
“What the hell Tatty” I chimed next thing I know Im under water did he just throw me in the pool? I stand up and Tatum is next to me in the water I splashed him and gave him the finger
“sorry Ross there was just way to much sexual tension I had to do something before I acted on it” he said pushing his dark hair out of his face giving me a big smile I cant even be mad at that face
“Tatum dont tell anyone about the fruit thing okay? And now I  have to take my overalls off thanks for that” I tell him as he grabs me by the waist and lifts me out of the pool.
“Of course Ross my lips are sealed but now I'm curious does he want a taste?” He asks jumping out of the pool I don't answer but I can feel my face getting red,Tatum is looking at me
“Or has he had a taste?..” my eyes widened at the question “ he totally has don't deny it I can see it in your eyes” I'm lucky Tatum is good at whispering we go grab some towels and dry off a bit. My poor overalls I unclasp the straps and wiggle the wet denim over my hips down my legs and step out “why do I have the feeling Im being watched” I say to myself I look up to see that Dylan was now next Tatum they swallowed in sync seriously guys I know I'm in really good shape but it's an ass.
“Gee are ya guys fifteen year old virgins or something? I joke “No but that was very seductive” Tatum cleared his throat “and it's very clear you've been doing your squats” he said gaining some composure I looked at Dylan and raised my brow at him, he scratches his neck a nervous tell.
“I've never seen your whole tattoo before, I've only seen the dove when your at practice it's really beautiful"  he said changing the subject but he just admitted he's watched me run
“thanks it's a memorial piece for my Aunt Thea,Ash McCallister did it” Sabrina walks up to us “Ash may have Tattooed it but Rosslyn here drew it” she cut in Dylan looked at me with shock and awe
“I didn't know you could draw?” Tatum said sounding like a question “Oh yeah she's quite the artist, Ash even showed her how to use the tattoo gun, then the guy lets her tattoo him!” Sabrina gloats about my talents more than I do yes I have lots but when you have nothing better to do you start new hobbies and get good at those hobbies.
“BABE!” Yelled a familiar voice I could feel the colour drain from my face as the group of teenagers in front of us part like the red sea there stood the last person I thought I would see at Dylan's house and he coming over to me someone kill me “I know your sexy as hell babe but come on and cover up these losers don't deserve to see your perfect ass" sneered Jake, someone kill me please. He comes over to me trying to wrap me in a towel he just stole off of someones chair, I take a step back
"I'm not your babe Jake and even if I was you don't control me my body my rules" I spat trying to stay somewhat calm, Tatum came up beside me crossing his arms
"Get out of here Garnham this is private property and quite frankly your presence is ruining my vibe" Tatum said coldly
"Chill yourself Pierce I was in the neighborhood and just wanted to make sure my girl was being safe" Jake said winking at me, why is everyone winking at me and in the neighborhood yeah bull that just means he was stalking my house like every other Friday "She's not your property nor is she your girlfriend so you had to come back here and make sure she was here why? Other than being a nosey prick" Dylan said stepping up to face his nemesis "I saw McAlister's motorcycle in front of her house so I had to make sure she was and not getting into trouble with him" Jake answered what the hell is that suppose to mean, Dylan and Tatum gave me a questioning look "Well I better get going" he said with a wave and walked away. He literally just came here to annoy me and let me know he's watching plus he likes to make everyone question me, because he knows I hate being in the center of attention and he wants Dylan to think he's still in the picture even if its against my will and he is slightly stalking me and I've only told Kris and Sabrina, now I either tell the guys the truth or let their minds run wild with the thought of my ex boyfriend stalking me and probably has a shrine dedicated to me.
"So that was weird" says Tatum looking down at me "He literally came here to make sure you knew he is still watching you" blurted Kris "Kristal Davis! that was suppose to be a secret" scolded Sabrina
"Well it ain't anymore" Dylan said under his breath, I shot him a dirty look
"So, how long has he been stalking you?" Asked a concerned Matty, well just tell them.
"Well after we broke up before the school year started he dropped off the face off the Earth then on day during exam week I was leaving the tattoo parlor and he was walking by and he did not look impressed that I was hanging out with Ash, he got mad at me like he was making a scene so I went back inside to wait for Ash and we left together on his bike and when we got to my house I saw his Charger turn at the end of my road since then I've noticed him driving passed the school and my house like every Friday he's probably there every other day but I don't go out much"
They stared at me, maybe I should have said anything. "It's not a big seal guys I know he's a creepy psycho and all but he's harmless he's just a big baby I broke his thumb and he cried for four hours so I'm not overly afraid he just likes to stir the pot and piss me off" I told the guys "you broke that fuckers thumb why?" Chuckled Tatum
"He was being an ass and he threatened to text my brother some stuff about me that I rather not have him know so I grabbed his thumb off his phone and bent it the wrong way" I informed him of my spaze like tendencies "um maybe you should go to anger management Ross" said a concerned Calum "she did she was required to after she head butted Mr.Gilinsky in the seventh grade" blurted the loose lipped Kris
"Kris these are trademark secrets if you can't keep your mouth shut you won't be allowed to drink anymore" warned Sabrina
"I remember when that happened he was in your face about your obsessive leg shaking," Calum said "that was awesome, it was the only time I've seen that big of a man cry like a fucky baby" laughed Tatum
"Weren't you supposed to be like expelled for that?" Asked Matty
"Yep, but after my mom came in and sweet talked our principal and told them about my severe anxiety and Gilinski was being an insensitive oaf I only got suspended and for a week and wasn't allowed to return to school until I started anger management and therapy for my anxiety" I informed the group on the topic at hand because of Kris' loose lips I don't blame her nor am I mad its the booze plus these guys are in our circle of friends and I trust them especially Matty and my personal Dr.Phil Tatum.
"Now that you're out of  your overalls is it hot tub time!?! Exclaimed Tatum
"Yes,Tatty we can go in the hot tub now" I smile Tatum shoots his fist in the air and grabs my arm and we raced over to the hot tub followed by his brother, Sabrina, Matty, Kris,and Dylan who was grabbing the case of Corona.
"You have any sliced lime for those there Dill Pickle?" I asked using the nickname his sister gave him when they were kids "Don't call me that Roo Roo" Dylan says slyly
"Oh you little shit!just go get me four slices of lime for my Corona" I huffed crossing my arms, he took a beer out of the case and took it inside I glared at the back of his head as jogged away as if he remembers what Jamie used to call me when he first started talking now I only wish the kid would shut the heck up little brothers I tell ya.
Dylan came back out of his house with the beer "M'Lady" he said handing it to me and went and sat across from me "Dylan you gonna get me some lime too?" Asked Calum "uhh nope not likely" Dylan replied "not fair man"  Calum protested I stuck my tongue out at him " Nobody can resist this face" Tatum said pushing my cheeks together making me look like a fish. Why me I thought as I took a sip of my beer that has the perfect amount of lime.

As the night went on the seven of us sat in the huge ass hot tub drinking beer talking about the most random stuff, while the rest of the student body were 'dancing', making out or a combination of the two.
I don't know what time it was when everyone left but a sophomore named Chad had taken it upon himself to get his uncle who is a bus driver to take our drunk classmates home, no drunk driving accidents tonight. "What a sweetheart" said every girl here, Chad is now the coolest kid at school "he will do great things" I said as they left, leaving  Flin Crawford passed out in the hammock but nobody had the balls to disturb him.
"So Ross.. you have your tongue pierced so now I'm curious how many piercings do you have?" Asked a very drunk Tatum
"Twelve" I replied not needing to even think about it, "badass" complimented Calum yes that's a compliment in my books, I'm a bit of a rebel and slightly addicted to being stabbed with needles, Dylan and Tatum were looking at me counting my piercings "Three in one ear and five in the other that's uh… five six seven eight" Tatum said counting his fingers he's so sloshed Im pretty buzzed but my word.
"Plus her nose and tongue so that's ten"  Dylan said joining in on the counting,
"Two more… you totally have your kitten pierced don't you!" Tatum winked satisfied that he figured out the mystery, I raised my brows at him "Actually, no I didn't want to risk losing all feeling down there thank you very much" I say in a matter of fact voice and end with a hiccup. Dylan sat there giving me another look over when his eyes stopped at my breast and smirked at me  "And all this time I thought you were just happy to see me" he says smoothly after noticing the fact that it's the little barbells going through my nipples that you can see protruding from my bikini top not my actual nipples "That's hot" he gulped trying to look at my face "I got mine done too!" Tatum yelled enthusiastically joining us again,
"Yeah, we can see that Tatty" I say putting my arm around him and patting his shoulder he looks down like he forgot he was only swim trunks, so very drunk.
Kris and the guys were very drunk,well except Matty he doesn't drink he's our mom when we drink.
"You girls should get going its 4:08 and I need to get these drunkards to bed" Matty says getting out of the hot tub "Yeah we should head back before Virgil gets up" I say following him Sabrina grabs Kris while I gather our stuff I give each of the guys a hug and take Kris from Sabrina so she can give her man a kiss before we depart. Matty rounds up his herd of drunk boys into the guest house.
The girls and I take out time walking back to my house as we approach the door I hear someone calling my name, I see Dylan running across the road in his boxers waving my overalls in the air "Ross you forgot these" he said coming up the driveway to us "oh thanks Dylan, it could have waited till tomorrow" I say as he handed them to me "it could have but a raccoon could have stolen them and they'd be gone forever" he said dramatically reminding me that he is very intoxicated I just nodded at him "well i'm going to head in and your in you boxers g'night" I say walking into my house and closing the door when I see him walking away. I head upstairs  to my room and go into my ensuite and put on a nightie because I don't think my friends would like waking up to me naked next to them, I put my hair in a bun and went to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow…..

"ROSSLYN WHY IS DYLAN PASSED OUT IN THE FRONT LAWN?"
