Seventeen (Zach Dempsey/ Montgomery De La Cruz

Chapter 5

I heard a soft knock at my window, and I looked up from my phone. I got up and opened the window letting Monty inside. Once he was in I pulled him in for a hug feeling some relief after the day I had

"Hey it's ok." He said rubbing my back as he held me

After we slept together we agreed to just be friends, and he actually became a big part of my recovery. He would take me to therapy, go on runs with me, and mostly he would just sit and listen when I was going through one of my episodes. He also let me in a little more about his dad, and still comes to say sometimes

"When I find out who put that shit on the board I'm gonna fuck them up. He said as we pulled away and sat on my bed

"Don't, it won't change anything. It's set in their minds Perri down is a slut." I said thinking about the writing in the bathroom

"Hey what did I say about that? You are amazing and if anybody says anything different I'll fuck them up." He said making me smiled

"You're sweet Monty but you can't fight the whole school for me,"

"Why you think I can't take them?" He teased

"Oh I definitely know you can, but it's not worth it. Besides most of the people still talking about it are girls. I said laying my head on his shoulder

"You are worth it so just say the word and I'll handle it."

"My hero." I teased

"You know I saw you checking me out on the field earlier." He said I sat up and pushed him away

"Whatever! You and the rest of those dogs never stop checking me out."

"I admit it, seeing you in those shorts does something to me." He said winking at me

"You just always have to take it there."

"Admit you like my muscles." He said flexing a little I chucked

"You have bulked up nicely from wrestling." I said poking his bicep

"I got to give the ladies what they want?" He said and I smiled

"So how was court?" He said and I shook my head, trying not to bring back the thoughts, I stood up

"Let's go somewhere." I said and he chuckled

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah I don't want to be here right now, let's go." I said opening the window

We drove around awhile before ending up at the docks, I loved looking at the water the sounds of the waves and birds just took we away. We sat with the radio playing softly as I rolled a joint

"Are you sure about this?" Monty asked me for the third time

"Why are you being such a baby about this? you smoke all the time." I said glancing at him

"You don't." He said looking at me I just rolled my eyes

"And your track season is about to start, how are you gonna pass your drug test?"

"The same way you pass yours." I said then I lit it then I took a hit

"Hey talk to me." He said and I looked into those green eyes I knew I could trust him

"Zach and Hannah had something going on behind my back."

"You knew that already."

"No I thought they had hooked up once! But they showed me these texts today. They were talking and flirting the whole time I was gone last summer."

"Damn I'm sorry Perri."

"I just can't believe I trusted him. I'm so fucking stupid."

"No he is, and Hannah is not here but what she did was fucked up. " He said and I was still having a hard time processing my emotions.

We passed the joint back and forth until it was gone, I looked at him as he sent a text he was so handsome

"Monty?" I said and he looked at me and leaned over and kissed him he froze then kissed back before pulling away

"We can't do this."

"Why not?"

"We've been down this road I don't want you to anything you'll regret."

"I'm not, Monty I need this."

"Perri you're high."

"I'm fine, with everything that's happen the trial, my panic attacks, and Bryce!"

"Did he say something to you?"

"You have no idea what I go through having to face him everyday. I want this Monty I need to feel in control of my body again." I said looking him in the eyes then he kissed me

"Tell me if you need me to stop." He said and I straddled him

"I'm ok." I said him kissed him again
