Twisted Reality

Run [6]

Demi's POV:

Once I finished dropping Alex off at school I decided to do a quick trip to the grocery store so I could buy some dinner for tonight. Wilmer was away for 2 weeks as of the early hours in the morning, I would be lonely but I had Alex I guess. Wilmer and I aren't in a great place at the moment, he's being quite flirtatious towards other women and I have a feeling he's not as interested in me as he was at he beginning of our relationship. I got lost in my thoughts and before I knew it I was pulling up to the stores car park. I strolled through the store leaning all my weight on the shopping cart. I really can't be bothered for this. I go to turn the corner and someone bashes their cart straight into the front of mine. "Do you fuckin-" oh shit. Oh my fucking shit. "Wow! Long time no see Demi! My my have you changed, what's it been... 7 years? You look so different, last time I saw you your hair was black! I'm surprised I even noticed you!" I can't believe what I'm even seeing. How is this even possible? It can't be. My ex girlfriend. Of course, I was only young of course, I was about 18 and in my experimental phase. We didn't even break up in a bad way, she was only working over here in the states for half a year and then she had to return home. We also didn't want to attempt a long distance relationship. Her soft Scottish accent still remains as sexy as I remember. What am I thinking. "H-hey, Cat - how have you been keeping?" I stuttered. I still think about her 5 days a week and how my life would have turned out if we were still together. She still makes me so weak. She smiled at me "You look like you've seen a ghost." She laughed. "I've been keeping pretty good actually, I've not long just moved here to California for good. I'm still just settling into my flat, my room mate is a piece of shit, all she does is have guys all the time, I can barely sleep!" If I heard that correctly she just stated that she has moved to the states for good. "That's good, don't you live with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband?" I asked curiously. "No way, I haven't been with anybody in 7 years funnily enough." She laughed. She hasn't been with anybody since we broken up. This is very strange to me. "Surprising." I replied. "Hey, I really have to go and check that my house mate hasn't burnt the house down by now, but we should definitely go for coffee some time in the next few days? I know you have your boyfriend and all, I see it in the tabloids but we can go as friends. For old times sake?" She asked me excitedly. I tried my hardest to hold in a huge face eating smile. "yes I definitely will go to coffee with you!" I replied in a tone that sounded too excited for a simple conversation like this. "Great!" She replied in an overly happy tone. "How about tomorrow?" Tomorrow is Wednesday. Sounds great. "Tomorrow is great!" "Okay, here's my number, text me yours because I really gotta fly!" She said and pulled me into her arms and gave me a quick hug. I felt better in Cats arms than I ever have felt with anyone else, even Wilmer. This isn't good, I cannot let Wilmer know about this. She quickly released and smiled at me and before I knew it she was walking away with her shopping cart. I sighed. What am I doing.

Alex's POV:

Me and Savannah are still deciding on which song to perform. After about half an hour of me biting my pen and Savannah looking cute as fuck, Savannah decided to speak. "Have you heard the song Beautiful by Bethany Dillon?" She asked and looked me in the eyes. We were not far away from each others face at all. We were sat right opposite each other cross legged on a mat, I could even feel her knees touching mine. You can only imagine the amount of strength it took me not to kiss her right there and then. I did know that song, that song is one of ones that have helped me on several occasions and I mean really helped me. How did she even know it? "Yes I do. I didn't know you would, but I can't play it so I'll need chords." I replied. "Slow down, I'm tone deaf and can't sing to save my life so I was hoping you could sing. I already know the chords!" Shit. That means I have to sing. I've never sung in front of anyone before. "I-I can't sing in front of people." I told her, feeling extremely embarrassed and weakly smiled. She placed her hand on my leg and chills ran up my spine. "Hey, it'll be okay. We can spent plenty of time together and get your confidence up in no time. I'll help you through it." She gave me a kind smile. She got up onto her feet and walked over to the guitar rack and grabbed one and brought it back to us. I stared at her as she began putting her fingers on the fretboard to find the right chords. Her hair fell slightly over her face and I smiled to myself. She began to practice the song and I hummed along on to her guitar playing. She finished the song and looked up into my eyes and smiled. "Do you wanna skip coffee today and chill at my house for a bit and we can practice this song and make hot cocoa?" I asked her, "of course we can go out if you want to?" Savannah grinned. "I was hoping you would say that, I'm excited to see your house"
"Girls, you have done absolutely nothing, we will discuss this in detention." Miss. Richmond ranted at us both with her annoying ass fucking egg voice, I hope someone cuts it the fuck out with a blunt knife. Miss. Richmond made her way back to the front of the class and slapped her hand against the piano top to make the class listen. "You have 5 minutes left so pack up your things and get ready to go, I'll see you after lunch and see the rest of you in detention also." She explained whilst staring at Savannah and I. The whole class was silent, too scared to say anything so they don't have to face the wrath of Miss. Richmond. 'Psst' "do you wanna skip detention later?" Savannah whispered to me with a huge grin on her face. I like her rebellious side. "Is that even a question?" I grinned. The lesson finished and lunch was quickly over. We practiced our song a bit more and discussed which exit we were going to leave from to avoid Miss. Richmond. The lesson finished and Savannah grabbed my arm and dragged me across the other side of the school to the back entrance. We reached it and it was locked. Fuck, I checked the time and it was already 3:15pm. Me and Savannah were the only ones in detention I can only imagine that Miss. Egg queen was still looking for us. Savannah dragged me through some corridors and we turned the corner and spotted Miss. Richmond and she also spotted us. I froze. "Shit! Cmon" Savannah said as she pulled my arm and made us run around the school, Miss. Richmond definitely wasn't far behind. Savannah had no clue where she was doing but pushed her body weight onto a door and made it open. She pushed me in and closed the door. It was pitch black and the size of maybe a tanning machine. She was right behind me and I could feel her body pressed against my back. I moved my arms up slightly and felt myself knock something off of a hook. Shit, I panicked and with that Savannah slapped her hand over my mouth and put her other hand on the front of my stomach. I felt that sensation down below that I'd never felt for a girl before. I'm so fucking turned on and all she's doing is laying her hands on me. My breathing began to slow down. She slowly removed her hand and whispered, "I think she's gone." "I'll go and check." I said and moved forward and reached for the door knob. Before I could open the door she grabbed my waist and turned my around. Before I knew it her lips were planted on mine. I obviously accepted her kiss and I felt her tongue plead for entrance, I accepted that also, obviously. She swapped our positions so I now had my back on the wall. She deepened the kiss and roughly pushed me further up onto the wall and pinned my arms up to the wall. She pulled away and let go of my arms. "I'm so sorry I don't- I really didn't mean to do that, it just came to me and you're just so-" I cut her off with my lips before she could say another word. "Don't talk, it's okay." Savannah smiled and we left the janitors cleaning closet.

We arrived at my house and to my luck my mom wasn't home. I showed her around my house and we made our way to my bedroom. I threw my stuff onto the bed and opened my drawers. I found a little bag that I store my joints in. It's been about a week and a half. I grab one and shove it in my pocket. "Do you wanna go out in the back yard for a bit?" I asked her. "Sure" she replied as I started heading down the stairs. We got outside and I went into my secret hiding spot where go to smoke so my mom doesn't find me. It was basically just behind a bunch of bushes, I'd already made it homely to me a few months ago by bringing out benches and rugs etc. It looked cool to me. I pulled the joint out of my back pocket and started to light it up. I took a long drag and relaxed in my chair. I don't know why I'm doing this because whenever I get high in the company of others I always get too emotional. This will probably turn out bad. "Do you want some?" I take a risk and offer Savannah. She looks unsure. "You don't have to of course." She thought for a few seconds. "I've never done drugs before, but I've always wanted to smoke weed and you would be a great person to lose my weed virginity with so of course!" She said excitedly as I passed her the joint. She lifted it up and put it between her beautiful lips and inhaled. She coughed her guts up first time but of course fought on and gave it another try. By the looks of it she really enjoyed it. We finished the joint and just relaxed on our deck chairs for about half an hour in a comfortable silence. "Hey Alex... Do you want to know why I chose the song I did for our project?" She asked. I was very intrigued but I was scared to know. What if she knew things about me. "Sure." I let out. "I'm just going to tell you all of this and probably regret every single word of it but who gives a shit. So I went through a really shitty stage of like hating myself and I'm just going to come out here and say it, I saw your wrists earlier today at the lockers before music class and I want to say I've been there trust me." She rolled up her shirt and I saw lots and lots of scars on her stomach. She continued, "that's not what I wanted to say, what I did want to say is your attitude when we first met reminded me of how I was maybe 2 years ago or so. You were so quiet and distant and I could tell you weren't happy with yourself and that's why whenever you pushed me away I wouldn't give up trying to be a part of your life. I chose the song because I feel like it can relate to you a lot, and the song really got me through a rough time. You are so beautiful and I really need you to understand that and stop this" She said in a sympathetic tone as she pointed to my wrist. I literally felt my heart strings rip, she's so amazing. "Why did I get so lucky to gain you as a friend? But can I ask one thing?" "Ask away" she replied. "Why did you do that to yourself? You're so beautiful I just can't imagine somebody like you to hate themselves?" I automatically felt rude after I said that but I can't take it back. She stiffened her body and straightened her back. I must have hit a nerve or upset her. "Everything changed for me on April 12th two years ago when I-um, it's just.." I stopped her, "you don't need to tell me anything if it makes you feel upset, I shouldn't have asked." I said. "No it's okay, I'm already half way there. So.. My- my younger sister killed herself. This is so weird and I'm sorry to put such a downer on your mood and I'm so shit I'm so sorry" she said as her voice broke on the word sorry as she began to cry. I quickly walked over to her chair and pulled her into a huge hug. I rubbed her back and heard her mumble the words "I'm such a fuck up". "You are not even close to even being on the verge of being a fuck up babe" I said as I pulled away. She smiled and I wiped away her tears with my thumbs as I cupped her cheeks. I gave her a quick peck on the lips. "I'm so incredibly sorry Sav" I said whilst giving her a weak smile. "Don't apologise, you calling me Sav has just made everything okay, let's go back inside, it's getting chilly." She asked. I can't believe Savannah has just practically told me her life story. I'm so into her.
