In Her Arms (LGBT)

{13}

Mack's POV

Swish.

"No fucking way! You two are finally together?" Mia exclaimed dribbling a basketball.

"Shhhh! But yes." I responded with a smile.

"Hold up though. Y'all just became friends and then started making out later? Isn't that...fast?" Mia questioned.

"Dude, we are lesbians. It's surprising we haven't slept with each other already." I scoffed.

Mia rolled her eyes. "Isn't Piper pansexual?"

I shook my head. "Nah. She told me last night that she only told people she was because she was afraid they'd judge her if she only liked girls."

Mia made that little, "oooh" sound.

I nodded and shot another basket. "Look, I really like her. I want it to work. I don't know what happened but I just really, REALLY like her."

Mia nudged me. "Yeah I get it. I always knew you two would end up together."

I scoffed. "You did?"

She giggled. "Of course I did, idiot."

"Hey, by the way. She wants to do, some like, double friend date with you, me, her and Carson." I added.

"Yes! That sounds so fun!" She exclaimed.

We finished up the extra session and headed out the door. I noticed Piper waiting for me outside.  She smiled and waved at Mia who was walking next to me.

"Hey there, Piper!" Mia exclaimed. She looked at me and lightly pushed me.

I gave a small chuckle and walked over to Piper. I went in for a hug but she decided to plant a kiss right on my lips.

We parted but I pulled her in for another quick kiss.

Mia let out a small cough, reminding us that she's still there. "So. How's life in paradise?" Mia questioned.

Piper chuckled and grabbed my hand as we leaned back onto the hood of the car. "Great. No problems...yet."

I turned my head quickly to look at Piper. "What do you mean 'yet'?"

She rubbed her thumb on the back of my hand. "Couples fight. Don't worry."

"Sorry-just, some past stuff. Reminded me of that." I sighed.

Piper kissed my forehead and turned back to Mia. "How's life going for you?"

Mia shrugged and looked at the ground. "Its going."

I looked at her and gave a questioning look.

"Nothing's wrong, I just-I don't know. Seeing that my best friend finally has someone, it makes me feel...alone? Yeah. Alone. I don't have someone to hold and say I love you to." Mia spoke.

I placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her in for a hug. "You aren't alone. You're an amazing person and I promise you will find someone soon. I promise."

Mia hugged me back and gave a small sigh. "Can you see the future or something?"

I let out a little laugh and backed away from her. "No. But-just trust me on this one. K?"

She nodded and began to back up. "Well. I'm gonna leave. See you two later?"

I nodded and got into Pipers car. Mia and I had come here in the same car, but I wanted Piper to pick me up so we could hang out.

Piper got into the drivers seat, started her car, and drove out of the parking lot. I placed a hand on her thigh, I guess out of some type of instinct, even though I had never done that.

Piper gave out a small gasp and her eyes darted to my hand.

"Oh-shit I'm so sorry." I removed my hand but she quickly grabbed it.

"Put it back please. I just didn't expect it." She said in a low voice.

I put my hand back on her thigh and we kept driving.

"I'm sorry. Just by the way." Piper sighed.

I gave her a confused look. "For...?"

She bit her lip and put her right hand on my hand. "This is probably being rushed."

I shook my head. "Woah, woah, woah. No, I'm fine. If you think this is being rushed, we can totally slow it down. I know I kinda came off strong yesterday, but I didn't mean it."

She gave a shaky breath then pulled to the side of the road so she could make eye contact with me. "I'm a virgin. Kind of."

"Thats fine but what to you mean kind of?" I asked.

She grabbed both of my hands and turned in her seat so she was completely facing me. "I was sexually assaulted for many years of my life."

My eyes sharpened and a sudden feeling of hate and anger boiled within me. "By who?"

She sighed and looked away. "My cousin. He is 5 years older than me. He did it from when I was 6 to when I was 13."

I let go of her hands and pulled out my phone. "Whats this bitches name?"

Piper gulped. "He's in jail."

"I don't care I'm gonna kill him." I said.

She looked at me and grabbed my phone. "You sound insane."

I made eye contact with her. She looked as if she almost had fear in her eyes.

My expression softened and I pulled her in for a kiss. When we parted I brushed her hair from her face.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered.

She shook her head and closed her eyes. "It's not your fault. I just thought I should tell you."

"Is that why you kinda panicked when I touched your thigh?" I asked.

She gave a small nod. "Yeah. He did that a lot. When I was at his house, he would touch my thigh sometimes. It became a pattern where every time he touched my thigh that's also when he would make me do-stuff."

I felt so much pain for her. I didn't know what to say so I just kissed her. We sat there, kissing in a car parked on the side of the road. She leaned over and pushed me onto the door. I smirked into the kiss and began making my way from her jawline, down to her collar bone.

Then as I pulled away for a split second, I saw a car pull up behind us.

"Mack what's wrong?" She said under heavy breaths.

"Your dads here." I groaned.

She looked behind us to see her dad step out from the car.

He began walking up to Pipers car very slowly.

~{Note from author}~

Well hi, I'm back. It's been a minute. I honestly walked into this story and threw my self to it. I started hating it and left it. After I realized more and more people were reading it, I decided to continue. I added a more sensitive topic in this chapter, which will also be talked about in some future parts. I'm going to talk about other sensitive stuff as well, so be prepared. (Sexual Assault, Drug Use, Depression)
