The rest of the night was crammed full of long discussions and cake.
“So are you really sure about this?” I asked Joe. “I mean I don’t want things to end up like they did before,”
“I know that I want to do this.” Joe said. We were sitting on the couch, holding hands with out fingers laced together.
“Okay, well then in that case, I am sure too.” I said with a smile.
Joe smiled widely. I could tell that he was happy, I mean we both were. Since the day that we broke up, I have felt like something was missing. Eventually I filled the empty feeling with feelings of anger and confusion and scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream. But I guess being back with him now I feel complete. Well maybe not complete, but that hole in my heart had been filled. Sadly in filling that whole, I created another one; Kevin.
Joe leaned in and gave me a quick peck on the lips just as Kevin walked into the room.
“Hey can we limit the PDA,” Kevin asked, jokingly. I could tell that it pained him to see his brother kissing me. Especially since a couple of hours ago it was us making out on the couch.
I stifled a laugh and then pulled my hand away from Joe’s. Moments later Nick was in the room, and the four of us were chilling on the couches.
“So you guys are…” Nick drifted off, making it a “fill in the blank” thing.
“Together,” Joe said happily, grabbing my hand and kissing it.
In that moment I wanted to curl up under a rock and die. It was such and awful feeling, knowing what I did to Kevin. I immediately looked down at my lap, not wanting to see his reaction, but he surprised me.
“Contrats,” he said. The weird part was, he meant it.
I looked at him in confusion. Did he really not care that me and Joe were together. Was he even happy for us? Did he not have feelings for me?
“Well, I am going to go to bed,” I said, and then got up.
“You’re still spending the night?” Kevin asked, confused.
“If that’s alright with you,” I said.
Kevin smile back. It was a real smile too. The corners of his mouth still looked a little droopy, but still he was happy. “Of course,”
We all headed upstairs and started getting ready for bed. It was only then that I noticed that I was still wearing Kevin’s shirt. I thought about taking it off and asking Joe for a shirt. I mean he was my boyfriend now. I should be wearing his shirt if anyone’s. But as the sweet smell of Kevin’s cologne engulfed me, I couldn’t help but leave it on.
I pulled the covers over me, and then sat up once I saw a dark figure standing in the doorway.
“Joe?” I asked.
The figure was silent, but walked over to me. I couldn’t make out a face.
“Joe, what are you doing?” I asked, laughing a little, thinking he was probably going to jump at me and start tickling me.
The figure came into the light. It wasn’t Joe. It was Jake. I opened my mouth to scream for one of the boys, but nothing came out. Jake inched closer, until he was standing over me, and I was lying on my bed.
“Jake please no,” I pleaded. “Please, please, please,”
“Shh baby,” he said tucking my hair behind my ear. “I promise it won’t hurt… too much,”
Just as Jake grabbed me I started to fall. I kept falling in darkness until I finally woke up. I was sweating like crazy and by the looks of it I had kicked off all of my blankets in the night.
“Thank God,” I muttered and then got out of bed.
I crept downstairs into the kitchen for a late night snack, but I wasn’t the only one with that plan.
“Kevin?” I asked, happy to see him there.
“Hey,” he said quietly. His eyes looked tired, and his face looked sad. It was a type a sad that he couldn’t hide. It was perminate for the time being, if that makes any sense.
“Some night, huh?” I said.
