Mine Chapter 4

I sat on the sofa watching Spongebob, laughing at the jokes most kids wouldn't get.
"Jake have you seen my--"
"No. For the millionth time no. I don't keep track of your shit Sav." I said, not breaking away fron the TV.
Savannah gave an annoyed sigh "It'd be nice if you helped me!"
"No." I said, crossing my arms "Today its 'wheres my makeup?' sooner or later its 'wheres my birth control?'"
I felt something hit my in the back of the head. I cried out and leaned forward, putting my hand over the spot. "BITCH!"
"Why can't you be a good brother?!" she screamed, I saw tears glisten on her cheeks.
"Because you're such a bitch!" I said "Poplars and outcasts don't get along!" I yelled back.
"JACOB! SAVANNAH! JUST SHUT UP!" Dad hollered from the kitchen.
I glared at her, pressing my lips together. She rolled her eyes and went back upstairs, muttering to herself.
I sat back down, rubbing the back of my head, trying to watch TV again. Not 5 seconds later there was an eager knock at the door.
I got up as quickly as my head could take it. I unchained the door and opened it, not quite looking at who was standing infront of me.
"JAKEY GUESS WHAT!" CC screamed.
I flinched, looking up at him. "What? Please don't scream."
His smile dropped. "Whats wrong?"
"Savannah threw shit at me. Damn I need some ibprofen..." I blinked away painful tears "Whats up?"
"I was gonna tell you I'm having a sleepover tomorrow. Bring your swimsuit, I'll get dad to fill the pool."
"You have a pool?" I asked too casually.
"Yeah. Its only five feet deep though, Mom can't swim." he cracked his knuckles, leaning on the door frame.
"Anyone else coming?" I asked.
"We could ask those other guys you hang out with..." he said.
I thought for a minuet. "I know Andy and Jinxx would be phyched, not sure about Ashley..."
He rung his fingers together, shifiting from foot to foot.
"As long as you have a bathroom with an electrical outlet he should be fine." I scratched the bump that was beginning to form on the back of my head. "Now I really need to get some painkillers before I pass out."
"Allright." CC looked around me. "Should I go or can I come in?"
"Come on in, spongebob is on." I turned and started for the bathroom. I saw CC plop onto Dad;s chair, flinch and get up again.
I was already in the bathroom. I poured 4 ibprofens in my hand and threw them down effortlessly.
"Hey whose gold eyeliner is this?" CC called.
"MINE!" Savannah ran down the stairs, stopping and glaring when she saw CC.
"Don't glare, at least I didn't steal it." he tossed the artificial golden stick at her.
She went back upstairs, I could feel the glare she had at the two of us.
"If she was my sister I'd hang myself." CC said, strutting over to me.
"You havn't heard the worst of it. Try getting woken up at 6 Am" I mimicked her voice "Jake have you seen my eye liner? Jake have you seen my curling iron? Jake have you seen my Nickelback shirt? Jake have you seen my birth control?"
"Birth control?!" he looked horrified.
"I bet she'll be asking that by highschool." I say.
"On the bright side you'd be awesome uncle jakey." CC said.
"You find the bright side in everything."
"Blame the ADHD." he grinned at me.
"JAKE YOUR SPIDER GOT OUT OF ITS GOD DAMN CAGE AGAIN!" Savannah shreiked.
I rolled my eyes, climbing the steps up to get Jeff back in his cage.
"I'll go now. bye bye." CC seemed to fly away to the door, dissapearing.
"Bye..."

(Next day, CC's POV)

I rose the next morning and stretched eligantly, the suns shining down on me in beautiful golden rays. I sighed happily. "What a beautiful day!" I sang as birds chipred.
Allright, thats not the way I woke up.
My eyes snapped open as my internal body clock told me I had enough sleep for now. I kicked the black comforter off that piled over me. I stretched, cracking all the bones in my spine and loosening my leg muscles, letting out a grunt and sat up.
My room was pitch black exept for the glow in the dark posters I had hung yesterday.
The green eyes from the HIM singer stared at me, the words TRON and a poster of some supermodel I forgot the name of glowed on the walls. I stumbled over the unpacked bozes I had left and the empty monster cans that were scattered on the floor and felt for the light switch. I flicked it right as I fell into another box of clothes.
Orange light flooded my room, I groaned and sheilded my eyes. Coughing slightly at the disgusting taste in my mouth I shuffled to the bathroom, filling a glass of water and gulping the taste of plaque off my tongue.
I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was in a matted mess, my eyes were bare and normal without eyeliner and my chest was red from falling. I itched my pubes and  went to work on my hair, dragging my brush through it.
My hair easily fell past my jawline and rested on my shoulders. I plugged in my straightener and let it warm, still trying to get the rats out of my hair.
I wondered what Jake was doing. Its 3AM so he's probably sleeping. If he's sleeping whats he dreaming about? Me? Pizza? Spongebob? Spiders? I wondered if he liked anybody...
"CC you retard." I laughed at myself as I picked hair out of the brush.
I didn't want to prove mom right that I liked Jake a little. Hes still my best friend! Plus mom might not let me invite him to the sleepover if I said I did.
I ran my fingers through my hair which I finally un-ratted. I picked up my straightener  and trapped a clump of hair in it, pulling it down slowly.
"Hurtful words, from my enemies of the last five years, whats it like to die aloone, how does it feel when tears freeze wheeen you cryyy the blood in your veins is twenty belowww..." I sang as I straightened.
5 minuets later I was ready for school, which didn't start for another few hours. I sighed and went back to my bedroom to start looking for my gameboy.
I played Super Mario Bros and Frogger (old fashioned, I don't care.) untill 6. I think thats when Jake should be up...
I shrugged and grabbed my backpack. I shifted my arm warmers up my arm and ran down the stairs.
"OFFTOSCHOOLBYE" I called to my Dad, who was getting ready for work.
I knocked on the Pitt's residence's door. I heard the chain lock slide off and the door open.
This guy, huge and muscular stood 3 feet over my head. I looked up and gulped. He held a cigarette in one hand, not a hand a giant hand.
"Can I help you?" I recognized the voice as Jake's dad's voice.
"I...I'm..." my breath was caught in my throat. This man terrified me.
"You one of Savannah's friends?" he asked.
"N-no I'm f-fr-friends with J-ake." I studdered.
"Whats with the studdering?" he said, furrowing his eyebrows.
"In all honesty sir, you're terrifying." I said, shaking.
He smiled at me, rubbing my head. "Its okay little man. Jake's upstairs, tell him to get his ass out of bed because his alarm went off 10 minuets ago."
"Y-yes sir." He let me through. I ran up to Jake's room and pushed open the door.
Soft blue light shined in the room, just missing his face. He slept curled up just like me, his blankets shifted all twisty around his body.
"Jaaake its time for schoool." I sang, shaking his shoulder.
He grunted and rolled over, inching away from me.
"The scary monster will eat you if you don't get up" I said, leaning over him.
"No" he muttered. "No...no monsters..."
"I'll put Jeff on you." I said.
"Go away." he muttered.
I sighed, trying to think of something else.
"Jakeyy" I whined.
"Nooo" he turned over again.
'I'm gonna kill myself for this later' I thought, getting right by his face I said "Hey sleeping beauty do I need to kiss you?"
I leaned back before we bumpe heads. He pulled his blankets over his chest and stared at me as I roared with laughter.
"CC!!" he said, pouting.
"Tha...that.." I tried to catch my breath but I was laughing too hard.
"Not funny." he said, inching under his blanket even more.
"Yes it was." I chuckled, whiping tears from my eyes.
"Asshole." he kicked his blankets aside and went for the door. "Uh, what time is it?"
"five after." I said, checking my phone.
"Damnit. I can't shower..." he went to his dresser and shuffled through, throwing a white tank top and a black ripped shirt onto his bed.
"You have ripped shirts?!" I asked as he slid into his jeans.
"Yeah." he said, pulling them past his hips. I tried so hard not to stare at his ass...
"Where'd you buy it?" I asked, looking at Jeff.
"Regular wal-mart black shirt, a pair of scissors and bang. Ripped shirt." he said, holding it up to me.
"Why didn't I think of that?" I said, scratching my head.
He pulled on the two shirts, re-combing his bangs in place with his fingers. "How do I look?"
I looked him over. "Good."
"Just good?"
"What do you want me to say? Sexy?" he asked.
Be blushed "Wouldn't hurt."
"You look very fuckable in that outfit, Jake." I said honestly.
We laughed.
"Lets go." I started towards the door, he followed. Thank god Savannah didn't come ruin us today...

(School.)

My least favorite class was next, Maths. I slid into my seat near the back since thats the only open chairs that were left.
The teacher, some old guy with pure white hair and a black suit stood infront of the class. At the bell he shut the door and told us to quiet down.
"Get out your homework so I can pick it up." he said, starting over to the left side of the room.
He picked up the entire left side's papers then got to me. I looked up at him, trying to think up a good lie.
"Homework, Mister Christian?" he said, holding out his wrinkled hand.
I looked down at my hands "The gypseys stole it." I muttered.
"What?"
"The gypseys stole it." I said louder.
"The gypseys?"
"Yeah. A wild band of gypseys took my homework."
A couple people snickered. I sat up more.
"How did the gypseys take your homework?" he asked.
"Well sir, I was walking to school when I saw some smoke in the distance. I thought the highschoolers had set something on fire and I went to look. When I got there I foun d it was a bonfire, then these gypseys jump out and pick pocket me! They took my paper and unfolded it then started teasing me with it, waving it just out of my reach, and I said 'give me my homework you damn gypseys!' and they said 'No! No! We want you to fail!' and I tried to tackle one of them but they ran away so thats why I don't have my homework."
Everybody was laughing now exept the teacher. He clenched his fist, glaring at me. "Detention." I said, walking away. "No laughing!"
Wandering the rest of the room he stopped at Jake's desk. He held out his hand again. "Homework, Jacob?"
Jake grinned. "Gypseys got mine too."
Everybody laughed again, including me. The teacher stormed to the front of the room, picked up his ruler and slammed it on the closest desk. "THE NEXT STUDENT WHO USES THAT GODFORSAKEN MADE UP STORY AGAIN TO TELL ME WHY THEY DIDN'T TURN IN THEIR HOMEWORK GETS A WEEKS WORTH OF DETENTION AND AN OFFICE REFFERAL!"
The room fell silent. His eyes connected with every student in the room, daring them to talk.
I took that dare. "You said 'God'"
He glared at me. "Excuse me?"
"That could offend...nevermind." I put my head down.
The class was silent untill the bell, dismissing us for lunch.

~

"Nice story, CC" Jake laughed, patting me on the back.
"I dunno where it came from. Then again theres always random shit flying through my head." I said, tossing my hair out of my face again.
"Like wild gypseys that steal homework?"
"Yeah."
"dafuq you guys talking about?" Ashley said, ploping down across from us.
"Wild homework-stealing gypseys that build bonfires in sub-urban neighborhoods." I said plainly, poking at whats supposed to be spaghetti.
"That was you?!" Ashley said, amazed. "I heard some populars talking about it in the hallway, saying some kid got his homework taken by gypseys and pissed off the teacher."
"Yep. Thats our CC." Jake said.
"Andy would love that story." Ashley said, smiling. "Where is my sexy singer anyway?"
"Uhhh..." I felt a little grossed-out by that name. "Andy...sings?"
"Beautifully." says Ashley.
"Amazingly" says Jake.
"You should hear him sing Sweeny Todd, its amazing." Ashley said, leaning on his elbow.
"What about Sweeny?" Andy said, sliding in next to Ashley.
Ashley hugged him for half a second. "We're bragging to newbie about how amazing your singing is."
"Newbie has a name." Jake growled.
"Okay grumpy face. We're bragging to CC about how amazing your singing is." he said, rolling his eyes.
"If you need proof I'm willing." he said.
"Go ahead."
He cleared his throat throat and began to sing what I assumed was a Sweeny Todd song. "I'll steal you, Johanna, goodbye Johanna! You're gone and yet you're mine! I'm fine, Johanna. I'm fine..." he stopped singing. "I forget the rest."
"Not bad." I said, clapping.
"Not bad?" Jake laughed. "This guy won the talent show 5 years running."
"Five?!"
Andy rolled his eyes "Not much to brag..."
"Bullshit! Thats amazing!" I said.
"Jake's a god in guitar." Ashley said.
I turned to Jake, he sweeped some of his hair behind is ear "Well..."
"I never saw a guitar at your house." I said.
"Its under my bed. I keep it there so nobody gets any ideas..." he said.
"Jinxx plays violin and guitar, I play base." Ashley continued. "Do you play?"
"I can play the drums decently." I said, spinning my fork.
"Are you in band?" Andy said.
"No, we would've seen him yesterday." Ashley replied, trying to spin his spoon like me.
"I could ask Sandra if you could use her drumset..." Andy said, looking around the room. "Wheres Jinxx?"
"Finishing a test." Ashley said. "He'll be here soon."
"Whose Sandra?" I asked. I havn't met another drummer before let alone a girl...
"Best lady drummer I know." Jake said.
"Impressive." I said, poking the slop again.
Jinxx finally apeared with a girl. Her bleach blonde hair fell past her shoulders, highlighted with red and black. She wore dark red lipstick and carefully-aplied eyeliner. a black dress fell down to her knees.
"Hey Jinxx hey Sammi" Andy said, moving over to let them sit on the bench.
"Finally finished that damn test." Jinxx sighed, looking down at the school food.
"Revolting." the girl named Sammi said, looking at his food. She pulled out a brown bag and dumped it out, handing each of us one thing from it.
I got a small baggie of doritos. "Don't you eat?"
"I lost my apitite when I saw this stuff." she pointed to the school food.
"Thanks baby." Jinxx said, kissing her on the cheek.
I poped a dorito in my mouth, crunching gratefully.
"So we were talking about our musical talents before you happy couple showed up." Jake said. "You play violin, right Jinxx?"
Jinxx nodded his head, spooning some choclate pudding in his mouth.
"I play keys." Sammi said. "What about you?"
"We're gonna try to get Sandra to let him play on her drumset." Andy said.
"Is that a sexual referance?" I turned around to see another girl behind me, her hair swooped across her forehead and sunglasses hid her eyes. She wore all black and didn't pass 5"3
Butterflies grew in my stomach as I looked her over. I could feel my face start to glow...
Andy laughed. "As if. Sandra, meet CC, hes a drummer too."
"H-hi..." I studdered.
"Nice to meet you CC. What do you play?"
"D drum. I'm not very good I mean I hear you're better." I scratched my head. "Nice to meet you too."
"I'd shake you hand but god knows where thats been." she chuckled at her own joke.
"Thats okay!" I said.
"Is he always like this?" she asked Andy.
"No..." Jake answered.
"Anyway. Would you let him play on your drumset? I wanna see how good he is." Andy said.
"He got them moves like CC!" Jake giggled.
I looked at my lap, embarrassed.
"Shes gay" Jake whispered in my ear. "Girls, y'know?"
"Really?" I whispered back.
"Yeah. Sorry bro."
"As long as he brings his own drumsticks he can." she said.
When she left I looked back up. Jinxx and Andy were grinning at me "You liked her didn't you CC?" Andy giggled.
"Pft. Not my fault all the hot chicks are lesbian." I shrugged."Even with my moves like CC"
"Jake would like your moves I bet!" Jinxx giggled.
I hid my face, blushing again. Jake let out a little annoyed sound "Do not!"
"Uh-huh. Sure." Ashley chimed in.
"Can we change the subject?" I murmured.
"I vote yes!" Jake said.
"Fine. But that was in payback for you making fun of us, Jacob." Andy said.
"I said sorry weeks ago!" He protested.
"Doesn't stop us." Andy said, crossing his arms.
"Pft. Whatever." Jake rolled his eyes.
"Hey I just remembered something." I spoke up.
"Did you remember where the gypseys took your homework?" Ashley said.
"Haha, no. My mom is letting me have a sleepover at my house. You guys in?" I looked at everyone across from me except Sammi. I knew mom wouldn't let her come.
"I have a pool too, if that persuades anyone." I added.
"Sure" Andy said.
"Okay." Said Jinxx.
Ashley hesitated, playing with his hands.
"C'mon baby it'll be fun." Andy said to him.
"Well...I'd have to get wet..." he said.
"We have half a million towels and the pool is only 5 1/2 feet deep." I said. "Please? Mom's getting beer."
"Your mom is WHAT?!" Jake half-shrikes.
"You heard right." I grin crossed my lips.
"Fine." Ashley said. "What about Pitts-a-hut?"
"I said I'd come when he came pounding on my door at 6:30 last night." Jake said.
"Where do you live?" Jinxx asked.
"Right across from Jake. The house with the dead Yard Flamingo in front." I said.
"Nice!" Andy laughed.
Students began to file out of the lunchroom. We followed suit, dumping our trays into the trashcan.

~

I rushed around my house, re-arranging things, cleaning up every speck of dust or dirt, even moving some furniture around.
"Andy and Ashley would want to sit together so put the loveseat over here, WAIT! Thats too close to the wall, they might get chlosterphobic...maybe by the window NO WAIT What if th vent makes it catch fire? Over here should be fine...lets see, Jake likes to lay down on sofas so I'll put that in right here..."
"CC calm your tits." Mom said, carryig in a tray of water and fruit snacks.
"I can't!" I said, shoving the sofa closer to the loveseat. "They'll be here any minuet hell I think I see Jake already!" I peeked out the window. Jake was crossing the street with a gym bag slung over his shoulder.
"I said, calm your tits. Nobody likes a nervous wreck." She said, opening the door for Jake.
"Hi Mrs. Coma." Jake said, dropping his bag.
"Hey Jake. You here for Nervous Wreck?" she asked.
"MOM HELP ME MOVE THIS!" I yelled, attempting to move the sofa.
I felt arms grab me around the middle, lift me up only to slam me back on the ground. Mom put her hands on my shoulders. "Calm." she said.
I let out a sigh, relaxing my muscles. I turned to Jake and held out my arms. "This is out little hell hole of a home. Make yourself comfy." I said.
Jake looked around. "Nice." he said.
I took another breath. "Any idea when everybody shows up?"
"Andy said he'll be here around 5, Ashley should be with him and Jinxx in walking so he should be here any second."
"Okayokayokay..." I cracked my knuckles. "Any minuet okay uhm...house looks neat?"
"Shiney neat. Don't go crazy." Jake said.
"Can't go where you already are!" Mom added, strutting to the kitchen.
Jake wandered over to the sofa, plopping down on it. I hurried after Mom, grabbing five Orange Crushes out of the cooler.
I threw one to Jake and set the others on the glass coffee table just as the doorbell rang. I swung open the door, Jinxx stood there with his overnight bag on his shoulder.
"Hey you're here!" I said happily, opening the door. "MAH! JINXX IS HERE!"
"Thats great!" Mom called back.
Jinxx stepped in, looking around. "Nice place C." he commented.
"Crush is on the table, get comfortable just don't fall asleep." I said, pointing to the carefully arranged furniture. Jake waved at Jinxx.
Jinxx sat on the floor with his back against the wall. I felt a pang of annoyance; I spent all that time on seating arrangments and he sits on the floor?! I sighed, calming down again.
"What time is it?" I asked.
Jake looked at his phone. "5:05" he said.
I sat next to Jake, pulling my legs up to my chest.
"So um...whats the occasion again?" Jinxx said.
"my birthday is coming up and I kept telling my mom about how I actually had friends." I said plainly, resting my head on my knees.
A motorcycle roared outside, I turned around and looked out the window.
A couple on a bike stopped infront of my house, revved the motor twice and shut it off.
"Thats would be Ashley and Andy." Jake said.
They took off their helmets and strapped them to the bike then took their bags off of that I assumed to be the trunk on a motorcycle. Andy skipped up the sidewalk while Ashley jogged to keep up.
"Welcome to my beautiful home. Try not to die from its beauty." was my greeting for them.
They dropped their bags next to Jake's and Jinxx's then dropped onto the loveseat just as I intended.
"I'll go tell the parentals that everyone's here." I said, running to the kitchen.
Mom was sitting at the table, reading a James Patterson novel. "Mom everyones here." I said. She bookmarked her page and got up, following me to the kitchen.
"Okay this is my mom. Say hi mom." I said.
Mom gave a little wave. "Don't worry I'm going to bed soon since I'm so old." she joked. "I have a couple rules for safety."
I groaned. Really?!
"Shut up CC." she elbowed me, making me stumble a bit and caused the guys to chuckle. "Rule one, no head firsts into the pool. I don't want your parents suing me. Rule two, no more then five cans per kid. I have no idea how immune to alcohol you guys are and again, angry parents are my number one fear. Drinking in the pool is PROHIBITED. Not even his dad does that. Rule three, if you wanna go sexytime it can't be in anybody's bed."
"Mom!" I said, referring to the last rule.
"I know you when you're drunk you'll hump a sheep if it wasn't illegal." she said.
Everybody was cracking up. I glued my eyes to the floor.
"Anyways. Theres a bottle of Black Velvet in the cupboard. If I find a drop missing from it everybody goes home and CC loses pool and videogame privlages, I'll tell all of your parents and no more sleepovers untill he's married. Got it boys?"
"Yes ma'am" we said in unison.
"Okay. I'll get my boring ass out of here and leave you to CC." she returned to the kitchen.
I turned back to the guys. They all looked at me as if silently asking me what to do now.
"You guys look like the people you'd see at a strip club" I giggled.
"He would know." Jake said, elbowing Ashley.
"Well speaking of guys in their underwear who wants to go swimming?" I jerked my hand to the padio door.
"Me!" Jake and Jinxx got up at onece. Andy stood up and held out his hand to Ashley.
"I still don't like the idea." Ashley said, getting up slowly.
"Oh quit bitching." Jinxx said, following Jake and I outside.
I was already wearing my swimsuit so I just took off my shirt. Andy look off his jeans and shirt while Jake, Jinxx and Ashley had to go get their suits from their bags.
After everyone got into their gear we stood by the door, looking at the clear blue pit of water.
"That says six feet." Ashley said, his arms wraped around himself even though it was pretty warm out.
"Theres a five feet." Jake pointed to the middle of the pool labeled "5ft."
"Okay okay..." he leaned against Andy.
"Whose going first?" Andy said.
Jinxx raised his hand. I stepped out of the way as he took a running start then jumped, doing some sort of barrel roll before dissapearing under the water. His head poped up a second later and he shook water off his eyes.
"C'mon!" he waved.
Jake went in next, running a good 5 feet before awkardly belly-flopping into the water. He came up a little later rubbing his chest in pain.
"OUTTA THE WAY!" I yelled as I ran, I pushed off the side of the pool, did a perfect front flip before crashing into the water.
Bubbles swirled around my head, crawling up my body. I spread my arms out and let myself float upward.
My head broke the surface. I spit out water and clawed the hair out of my eyes. Jake and Jinxx whooped and high-fived me.
Andy went next, doing a running-lead cannon ball. The wave sent water into my nostrils and I was still coughing it out by the time he swam over to us.
"Come on Ashes!" Andy said, beckoning his.
Ashley slowly walked to the edge, looking down at the water and shaking. "Its too deep." he squeeked.
"No its not Jinxx survived it and hes a midget!" Andy said. Jinxx splashed water at him.
"I'm scared." he said.
Andy swam over to him, holding his arms open. "I'll catch you!"
Ashley bit his lip, looking at us. Jinxx gave him a thumbs up while Jake waved his arm.
"Promise?" Ashley said.
"If I drop you I'll let you kick me in the balls." Andy said.
Ashley giggled softly before extending his arms and hopping off the side. Andy grabbed him around the shoulders.
"Yaaaay!" I called, clapping for them.
Ashley pecked him on the lips. Jinxx gave a little "aww" at this.
"Come on so we can swim!" I said.
Ashley climbed on Andys back and they swam over together. "We're here!"
Finally" Jinxx dissapeared under water again, swimming under our legs and towards the end of the six foot zone. I felt Jake grab me under the knees and back, lifting me into some kind of bridal-style.
"Jake wh-"
"Guess the color I'm thinking of." he said.
"Um...green." I said.
"Nope." he dunked my head under water for a second. "Guess again."
"Grey?"
He dunked me again. I spit water out before guessing again "Black?"
"Close." he dunked me again. I thought hard for a second.
"White?"
He let go of me. I high-five-shoulder-bumped him.
"Don't ever do that again, please." I laughed.
"But that was fun!" he said "Dad does it all the time with me when we went swimming."
"Warn me atleast" I said, splashing him.
"Fine." he leaned back and floated, pushing off the side with his feet.
"Hey you know what my favorite thing to do that freaks people out in public?" I said, grinning evilly.
"What?"
I swam under, facing down and let my body float upward. My limbs floating lazily around me.
"So 2006, CC" Jake said.
I smiled to myself, deciding to ignore him. Have some fun.
I can hold my breath for a good two minuets, so I had breath to spare. I floated for a little bit, trying not to move.
"Okay you can stop now." Jake said.
I held back a giggle.
"CC seriously. Not funny." He started to sound worried.
"CC?" I felt him turn "JINXX!"
I saw jinxx's black trunks in the water. "What? OH SHIT!"
I felt hands on my back. I jerked to the side and jumped. "ROAR!"
When they screamed I almost fell over in laughter. Thir expressions made it even funnier, Jinxx still had his arms over his head and Jake...pure terror.
"You're sick man! Sick!" Jake pushed me, forcing me back a few inches.
"I was joking. I told you-"
"I thought you were dead! DEAD! Death isn't a joke CC!" Jake sent waves of water at me, I covered my eyes.
"Dude I'm sorry I didn't think you'd get upset." I said. He looked on the verge of tears.
"I'm sorry." I repeated.
Jake ran his fingers through his hair, looking at the sky.
"Jakey?"
He rushed at me, I braced for another shove but insted he flung his arms around me. I slowly put my arms around him, hugging back.
"Don't scare me like that again." He murmured.
After that nobody pulled Dead Man's Float trick again. By 9:00 it was completely dark and the mosquitoes were eating me like a buffet.
"Urgh guys I think we should go in." I said, slapping one that got on my arm.
"Whatever you say Mr. Host." Ashley giggled, clinging to Andy.
I threw everyone a towel and slid open the door. On the door I found a note in Mom's handwriting.
"Jake. The cans are downstairs in the cooler by the TV. Remember, 4 cans per kid so drink slowly. No more pool time after you've opened one okay? I don't need any dead kids on my record. Love Mom."
I read it out to the guys, not rwading the "love mom" part.
"Aw but drunk swimming is fun!" I added, leading everybody down stairs.
They seemed amazed at the basement. A flat screen TV by the far wall, atleast 3 sofas and a few tables plus the cooler my mom mentioned. On the other side of the room was cleared out for our sleeping bags. The only un-carpeted place was the small area under the stairs.
Ashley seemed to like my dad's motorcycle posters, by the way.
I knelt by the blue cooler and threw everybody their share of alcohol. Jinxx and Andy seemed to get a little loopy off of the first can. Jake, Ashley and I otherwise were fine.
"This place, is so..cool!" Jinxx said, sipping his second. "I mean, you came here like a week ago and it looks like you lived here for five years."
"My dad owned this place so there was already some stuff in here." I said, moving onto my third beer and feeling the effect start coming on. "I came here when I was little CC, I remember. And...and I found some playboys...I wonder if they're still here."
Jake was laughing at me. I giggled along with him "Whatsso funny?"
"You're talking weird man." Jake looked confused suddenly "I'm talking weird."
"We all talk weird!" Ashley said.
Andy was crouched by the DVD shelf, looking it over. "You got any Batman shit here?"
"uuhhh..." I burped "dunno. I'm gonna go look for those playboys."
I got up and wondered to the stairs, looking under the little shelf by it. All there was was dust bunnies that made me sneeze.
"I dun see them!" I  called.
"CC we;re playing a game c'mer!" Jinxx called.
I crawled over since walking was a little hard. So was another thing but I ain't going into that.
"Wuzzap?" I said, sitting between Jake and Jinxx.
"We're playing truth or dare can." he said.
"What the...wait is everybody done? With...their stuff?" I said.
They nodded. Jinxx sat an empty can in the middle of our circle and spun.
"Shit spin the bottle?! Nonononono..." I said.
"Its truth or dare and we pick who by who the bottle lands on." Jake explained.
"Oooh. I get it." I pulled my knees up to my chest and Jinxx spun the empty can again. It landed on Andy.
"Truth or dare?" he asked.
"Uhm...dare."
"I dare Andy to..." Jinxx thought for a moment. "to slap himself."
Andy giggled. "I don't wanna!"
I raised my hand "I'll slap you."
"I'll slap your ass" Ashley said "Now bend your ass over."
"Nooo" Andy said.
"Do it!" Jake, Jinxx and I began to chant.
Andy backhanded himself on his right cheek. Ashley leaned up to kiss it.
"Still a better love story then Twilight!" Jake said, making us all laugh.
Andy spun the can, it landed on Jinxx.
"Truth or dare motherfucker." he asked.
Jinxx smirked. "Truth."
"Have you fucked Sammi yet?" he asked.
He blushed, looking down he said "Yeah."
We all screamed "oh" in unison, making him blush harder.
"JINXXIE BE GETTIN SOME!" I laughed as he spun it again.
The can stopped at Jake. Jinxx looked around me and asked him "Truth or dare."
"hmm..." he tapped his chin. "Dare."
"Slap CC." he said.
"Whats this with your obsession with slapping people?!" I asked, pushing him over.
"I think the question is where?" Jake purred.
I laughed nervously as the rest of the guys cracked up.
"Anywhere!" Jinxx choked through giggles.
"Bend your ass over!" he said, mimicking Ashley. I rolled onto my side and he slapped me down under.
"Owww!" I groaned, rolling onto my back. They laughed harder.
"Spin it already!" I groaned through the pain in my ass.
Jake spun the can and it landed on Ashley.
"Truth or dare?" he said.
"Truth." Ashley said, ringing his fingers together.
"Have you fucked Andy yet?" he asked, grinning evilly.
Andy his his face, Ashley didn't "Not yet" he said.
"Oh ho!" Jinxx called. Ashley leaned forward and spun the can; It landed on me.
"Truth or dare CC?" Ashley laughed.
"Dare fucker!" I said, spinning.
"I dare you..." his eyes traveled to Jake, a mischievous grin crossed his face. "I dare you to make out with Jake."
Jake and I looked at eachother with the same expression. I turned back to Ashley "like, toungey?!"
"Durr." he said.
I looked back at Jake who was blushing harder then I was. "How long?" he asked, looking back at them.
"30 seconds."
I bit my lip. taking a breath. "Its a dare so..."
"Yeah." Jake looked back at me.
I leaned forward and pressed my open mouth against his, pushing my tongue between his teeth. I saw his eyes shut and followed suit, running my tongue over his.
"15 seconds!" I heard someone say.
I could barely hear, barely smell, all I could feel was this. Jake began to kiss back, opening his mouth and shoving his tongue against mine...
"Aand..time!" Andy said. I had to pull away and whipe my lips, still looking at him. Hey, just because we're not kissing anymore doesn't mean we have to break eye contact.
"That was hot" Jinxx giggled. Jake broke the eye contact and his his head in his lap.
"I don't want to play anymore..." I murmured, looking down.
"Aw come on! I slapped myself and you want to quit over a little kiss?" Andy objected.
"Little kiss to you." Jake murmured.
"Okay one more spin." I said, "Andy you spin for me."
Andy reached forward and spun the can. It landed on Jake.
"Truth." he said immediately.
"Who was your first kiss?" Andy asked.
Jake was quiet for a while before he answered. "CC."
Silence.
I looked at him sideways, I saw tears fill his eyes the second time tonight and he gave a shuddering sniff. Ashley and I put our arms around him, Ashley shushed him softly.
"Its okay Jakey same for me." I said softly, rubbing his back. "Cam'mon, we're drunk and the nights little..I mean young. Lets do something!"
"I vote prank calling people!" Andy said.
"Great idea man!" Jinxx said. We all took out our phones and scrolled through our contacts.
"Hey Jake, dude, lets call Savannah and piss her off." I said, elbowing him. He laughed and scrolled down to her number.
"Oh you do NOT wanna see Savannah Pitts mad, bro." Jinxx warned.
"Its fun at times." Jake said. "Hey Jere-I mean Jinxx, remember when you broke up with her and she went ape shit? Daaamn I thought she was gonna stab you with something!"
"You dated her?!" I half-screeched.
"Oh just caz I play violin beautifully girls fall for me." Jinxx said plainly. "Sammi is different though, shiit shes beautiful. Y'know what? I wanna tell her that now..." he started to scroll through his contacts and clicked on her name, shushing all of us.
"This will me good." Ashley whispered.
"Hey baby you awake?" He said happily. "Oh yeah I forgot you're a zombie. Well I just wanted to tell you, tell you that..." he stopped for a minuet, listening. "Maybe a lil but I just wanted to tell you, you're beautiful. You're amazing and I love you to the infinity and beyond!"
"Its 'to the moon and back' retard!" I giggled.
"Shhhhh!" he hissed at me. "CC is being an ass and talking while I'm talking baby. You love me right?" he paused "how much? Aww thats a lot!"
The rest of us were stifling our giggled behind our hands. Jake leaned on me, laughing into my shoulder.
"I love you too baby. Dream...dream about me." he said before hanging up.
"That was adorable!" Ashley said.
"I'ma marry her one day." Jinxx said dreamily.
I picked up Jake's phone and held it up to him. "Call Savannah!"
"Fine. I'll act like a pimp okay?" he clicked on her number, adding *67 before the number. "Everyone shut up!"
"Put it on speaker!" I said. He clicked it on.
The phone rang three times before she picked up. "Hello?"
"Hey, is this Savy?" Jake asked in a deep voice.
"My name is Savannah...um, who is this?" she asked.
"This is Paul."
We covered our laughes as she replied "Who?"
"Paul, My name is Paul." Jake said.
"Why are you calling me, Paul?" she asked.
"What, sweetheart?" he said.
"Why are you calling me? Where'd you get my number?" she said.
"I got it off the bathroom stall at McDonald's." Jake said "It said 'if you wanna fuck me, call me and I'll give you a free cheeseburger.'"
Everybody was cracking up. "What? I don't even know you and I don't give people hamburgers..."
"I said cheesburger!" Jake yelled.
"Whatever! I don't--"
"WHERES OUR FREE CHEESEBURGERS, BITCH!" I yelled into the phone "I WANT ME SOME CHEESBEURGER PUSSAY!"
"Yeah me and my boy Ronny want some!" Jake said.
Andy, Jinxx and I burst out laughing. Jake started laughing too.
"I'm calling the cops!" she yelled into the phone.
"Whoah calm down Savannah, shit!" Jake said in his normal voice.
"JAKE?! IS THAT YOU?!" She screamed.
"Don't forget the CC!" I said.
"You guys are assholes! I'm telling dad!" she said.
"Tell dad about this and I'll tell about what I saw you doing with that 6th grader in the bathroom." Jake said seriously, hanging up.
"Dude! Did you hear her freak out?!" Andy said "I don't even give hamburgers..I SAID CHEESBURGERS!" he fell over laughing.
"WHERES MAH CHEESEBURGERS?! I WANT ME SOME CHEESEBURGERS!" I yelled in the same voice.
"You should prank call one of your old friends, C" Jake said.
"Pfffffft what old friends?" I said as he took my phone.
"Kay then whose Rinnie R?" he said.
Oh yeah, I had a friend from 5th grade. "Suuure he's probably asleep."
He clicked Ronnie's name and it began to ring. I put it on speaker and held it closer to me.
"Hello?"
"RONNAAYYYY!" I said, slightly changing my voice.
"Who is this?" he said, giggling slighty.
"This is...this is your dick!" I couldn't think of a false name.
"This is m dick huh?" he asked.
"Yeah. Just hanging down here with my boys." I laughed.
"Ah well are you nice and warm motherfucker?" he asked.
"Yeah nice. Hey man, its been a while can you fist bump me?" I looked at everybody, amazed they wern't laughing.
"I ain't giving you a fist bump you don't have any arms." he said.
"Yes I do, look!"
"No you look normal to me."
"Come on Ronnaayy!" I said.
"Christian I know its you." he said.
I gave them the 'oh shit, I'm caught' face. "Uh, whose this CC you speak of?" I asked in an accidental french accent.
"CC I've heard your french accent, dickhead." he laughed. "Where you at?"
"I'm in your underwear cuz I'm your dick!" I said, trying to lose all CC voice.
"I'm not wearing any underwear." he said and hung up.
We all looked at eachother. I sighed slowly. "Well then..."
"Lets listen to music!" Andy suggested.
I jumped to my feet but didn't land on them, I just nearly missed Andy and fell head-first onto one of the sofas. Everybody laughed at that atleast...
"Here they are!" I reached in the cabnet between the sofas and pulled out the Playboys, tossing them at the group.
"Sweet!" Jake said.
"Now its time to play 'get boners from the mags then try not to make it obvious!'" Ashley said, picking one up.
I stumbled to the radio, turning it on to a local rock station.
"We're gonna start this rock block off with some Perl Jam tonight ladies and gents and those who can't sleep or you're getting off work because your boss has made you work overtime!" Said the girl on the radio "This song is called Jeremy."
"Your song, Jinxx!" Ashley laughed.
"What? No...it really shouldn't be." I said worridly.
"His real name is Jeremy." Jake said.
"Ohhh." I nodded my head. "I was scared for a second."
"At home, drawing pictures, of mountain tops, with him on top. lemon yellow sun aaarms raised in a V, the dead lay in pools of marron below.."
"This song is disturbing." Ashley commented.
I crawled back to my spot next to Jake who was flipping through the pages of a Playboy. Blonde girls dressed like bunnies with too much makeup posed on the pages along with some others...
"Whats this song about again?" Jinxx asked.
"Some kid shot his brains out in a school and they wrote a song about it." I said, looking over Jake's shoulder.
"That sucks." Andy said, staring at his magazine.
We all sat quietly, listening to the music. A couple times the rustling of a page turning.
"DAAAAMN THOSE ARE HUGE!" Andy yelled, holding his magazine out infront of him. Ashley and Jinxx leaned over, giggling at it.
"Alright guys this is a happier song just so you don't drive your car off a cliff, its called Crazy Bitch by Buckcherry."
"This station kicks ass!" Jake whooped, headbanging slightly.
"Rave time!" I jumped up and spun, banging my head so hard I had to bend over. Jake sang along to the course as we all jumped around.
"Yo'a crazy bitch butcha FUCK so good on top of me yeah!" He yelled, saying the bleeped out word as loud as he could.
I heard a thunk as Jinxx ran into the wall. He stumbled over and passed out on the sofa a second later.
"Jinxx is out!" Andy called.
"One down, four to go." Ashley said.
"More like three!" I stood up stright "It takes at least six to make this guy pass!"
Black spots poped infront of my vision, making me stumble slightly. Jake reached out and grabbed me, pushing me back onto my feet.
"Thanks man." I said, waving my fists in the air.
Jake grabbed my shoulders and danced in front of me, purring the next lyrics.
"Crazy bitch, crazy bitch, crazy...bitch..." the lyrics were meant to me moaned, he did it perfectly.
I covered his mouth "Shush shush or I'll make you my sheep."
He licked my finger, making me pull it away. "Bitch!" I said.
"When I dream I'm doing you all night..." he leaned closer to me "thats true shit"
I put my hands down and put them around his hips. pressing my forehead against his. Jake licked his lips then looked at mine just as the music got harder.
"You're crazy but I like the way you fuck me!" I sang, grinning at him.
"You will fucking love it." he giggled.
I rubbed my hips against his, swaying in some sort of non-moving waltz. We didn't dare break eye contact with eachother as we danced, even though a song that really didn't fit the moment was playing (She Fucking Hate Me, Puddle of Mudd.)
"You're driving me crazy." he said as I grinded my front against his.
"Aw is Jakey is horny?" I sang-whispered.
"Yeah." he strained his voice, biting his lip.
I pushed harder, bringing his pelvis against mine and moving my hips against his ass. I stole a peek at Andy and Ashley, who were busy making out on the sofa.
"They're not looking." I whispered, leading him back towards the stairs.
The space by the stairs hid you from everything, unless you stand directly beside it. I pushed him against one of the wooden posts that held the steps up and pressed my lips against him again.
He moaned softly, running his fingers through my damp hair. I ran my fingers along the elastic of his swimtrunks, tugging slightly.
He pushed my head away slightly, looking down. "Shit, C" he whispered.
"You don't have to whisper." I said, pushing a few strands of hair behind his ear. "they can't hear us."
"Just being careful." he smiled, pecking me on the lips.
I pulled down his trunks, dropping them around his ankles. he let go of my hair and did the same to me, only going down with them.
I backed up against the wall, he wrapped his hand around my dick and pressed his lips to the dead, tracing over the crease slowly.
"Oh-ho-ho shit!" I giggled, rubbing his hair in circles.
"You're hard C," he slipped his mouth back and forth once. "really hard."
"Do that again" I asked. "Please.."
He smiled up at me before sucking me in again, bobbing his head back and forth, making me moan inwardly.
"You're so good at this." I giggled. He licked up like it was a lollipop, rubbing an O around the top. "I've practiced." he giggled.
"Keep going, make me cum." I said, playing with his long-ass hair.
He went back to sucking, pressing his tongue hard.
I clenched my teeth, trying not to scream.
"Oh god oh my god Jake...Jake...Jake" I thrusted in his mouth, moaning.
He dug his nails into my thighs as I grabbed hold of his hair, pulling his head back and cumming. Jake stuck out his tongue to catch it.
I dropped down, pushing him on his back and putting my head between his legs. He bent his legs and rested his feet on my back.
I mived my head up and down, ignoring my gag reflexes that screamed at me. Jake let out a moan and scraped his nails against the concrete floor, leaving small white lines. I pressed my lips together and blew harder.
"Just like that baby" he moaned, swaying his hips.
I went faster, trying not to scrape my teeth. Jake moaned louder, pressing his feet hard against my back...
"OH FUCK!" he moaned, exploding in my mouth. I looked up at him, he fell back into his elbows and his eyes were squeezed shut.
I pulled his dick out of my mouth, swallowing his cum. He slowly let me out of the leg trap he had put me in and sat up. I crawled over him and kissed him again.
"I love you." I whispered.
His eyes were closed. I got off of him and lied down, resting his head on my chest.
