Sing For Me Ch. 06

WARNING: This chapter contains a mention of thoughts of suicide

Author's Note: I've begun the process of writing the next part of the story later in the semester. It's slow going but it's happening. Like i said there will probably be some delay after chapter 8 but I hope you'll bear with me.

I love checking my feed and seeing how many people are adding the story to their favorites, and seeing all the votes and how many people have read it. I was really unsure going into this how it would be received so it makes me really happy to see everyone enjoying it. As always if you have any notes or constructive criticism please feel free to let me know and I hope you enjoy

~~~~~~~~~~

The next day I awoke to my mom knocking on my bedroom door. "Rich, get up, you're late." I quickly shook away my sleep, and reached over Sam to grab my phone. I realized I hadn't put it on the charger the night before and it had died. Cursing myself I plugged it in and jumped out of bed. I quickly got dressed and packed up my backpack, while Sam just watched me slightly amused.

"Sorry," I said, "you can go back to sleep if you want."

She shook her head. "It's fine, I got plenty of rest." I pulled on my shoes and ran out to the kitchen. Looking at the time I saw that I had overslept by almost an hour.

I sat down and quickly wolfed down my breakfast, before running out the door. I was halfway to school when I realized I had left my phone on the charger. I hit my steering wheel, cursing once again. I managed to make it to my homeroom class just before the bell rang, Caity and Carter both looked at me in surprise. "Where have you been?" Carter asked.

"Forgot to charge my phone, so I overslept. Then I left my phone at home like a dumbass."

Caity laughed. "Way to go. You're gonna have some explaining to do at lunch. Bella was texting you but you never responded. She's a little upset." I sighed, rubbing my eyes.

Mr. Worchel called roll then left us to ourselves as he worked at his desk. A few minutes later the morning announcements came over the intercom. Once they had finished I went back to talking with Carter and Caity. "Is she mad at me?" I asked Caity, referring to Bella.

"A little, but I'm sure when you tell her what happened she'll be fine."

"I think you're stretching yourself a little too thin." Carter said. "You've got too many girls around you to worry about. That's why I only focus on Dani." I gave him a look, but said nothing about it, instead changing the subject.

"Did Henry say anything about whatever he went to do yesterday?" They shook their heads.

"No, he was pretty quiet all day. He didn't even say anything to me during graphic design." Carter said. I wondered what he was up to, and decided I would ask him during lunch. After the bell rang, I made my way to the front office, grabbing my lanyard off of a hook on the wall. I only had to deliver a few notes during the period, and decided to spend the downtime reading since I didn't have my phone. I ended up making it to chapter 5 and stopped. Despite the writing style tearing away at my soul I was pretty interested in the story now.

Lucy found me in the courtyard during our shared free period. "Hey, are you ignoring me?" She asked accusatorially.

"No, I'm not, sorry. My phone died last night and I didn't plug it in, then I forgot it at home today."

Her expression softened. "Oh, that's too bad. I tried texting you a few times last night. Your sister even reached out and said you weren't responding to her either. I was a little worried, but when I saw you here today I wondered if something might be going on."

I nodded. "Yeah I'm sorry. I just fucked up is all. I think Carter is right, I might be stretching myself too thin."

"Well what are you gonna do then?"

I thought for a moment. "Well, as much as I hate to even consider it, I may have to dial back on the time I'm spending with you guys. You know, with all the..." I trailed off, and mimed having sex.

She laughed. "Well you've been going pretty crazy with it. I wouldn't blame you for wanting a break."

I sighed. "Yeah. It sucks because I like getting to be with all of you, but I think I just need more time now that we're back at school."

She nodded. "That makes sense." She paused. "But, since we're at school, and we have some time..." She gave me a lusty stare, and I smiled as my answer.

She grabbed my arm and led me back inside. She pulled me down towards the fine arts hall, and I laughed when I realized where she was taking me. "You've been talking to Annie haven't you?"

She smiled and nodded. "Yep. She's got some good advice. Also she's really into seeing my boobs for some reason."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I don't know what's up with that. You should probably stop sending them to her so you're not feeding whatever weird fetish or addiction she's got going on."

Lucy led me to the auditorium and pulled me inside. The lights were off and I couldn't see anything, but she held my hand and led me around. When she stopped I heard her drop her bag and start to undress. I followed suit, and then she took my hand and pulled me down to the ground with her. She took the lead, grabbing me by my dick and pulling me inside her. She let out a moan as I entered her, and started moving. She kept getting loud, and I had to remind her to be quiet. There wasn't anyone here, but you never know when someone might pass or even walk in.

I ended up covering her mouth with my hand while we did it. It didn't do much, but it did help her remember to try and stay quiet. Then the door swung open, letting in a ray of light from the hallway. I saw where Lucy had brought us. We were in the opposite corner of the door, right near the stage. I saw two people walk inside before the door shut behind them. Lucy was breathing hard against my hand, but urged me to keep going, as I had stopped when the door opened.

I heard giggling coming from the two newcomers, and realized it was a boy and a girl. Slowly, I started fucking Lucy again, still holding my hand to her mouth. I heard the others whispering and giggling about not being able to see. Then I heard them start kissing, and the sound of clothes being removed. They were not attempting to be as quiet as we were, and I could hear the girl moaning loudly from across the room. I kept going slowly, but Lucy put a hand on my butt and pushed, urging me on even more.

I pumped into Lucy, my focus kept more on the other students in the room. I listened as they went at it. The girl was very loud, and I could hear the slapping sounds of their sex. I felt Lucy's breathing growing heavier as I continued. I don't think I could've cum in this situation if I tried. I was nowhere near finishing, but Lucy quickly reached the end. Her breathing sped up, and I heard her moaning from behind my hand. It was quiet enough that they couldn't hear it over their own sounds.

Then I felt Lucy clasp her own hand over mine. Her body tensed and her vagina clenched around me. She held her mouth shut and tried to be as quiet as she could, but the sound of her moaning was still loud enough. The sounds across the room stopped. "Was that you?"

"No."

"Is someone else here?"

"Oh my god I think so."

"When did they get here? I didn't see the door open."

"Did they come from backstage?"

"No, the door is locked. They must have been here the whole time."

"That's hot." This was all said in whispers, but then the girl spoke up addressing us. "Hey! You guys fucking?"

Lucy uncovered her mouth. "Yeah. You?" I stifled my laugh.

"Yeah." I heard the other guy laugh and let mine out too. "Who is that?" She asked.

"Lucy." I was surprised she told her real name.

"Oh my god Lucy it's me Jamie."

Lucy gasped. "Oh my god Jamie what are the chances? Who are you with?"

"Nathan." I heard the male voice say, "Hey." I knew Nathan. He was a nice guy, one of the band kids. "What about you?" Jamie asked.

"Rich." Lucy said.

"Hey." I called, echoing Nathan.

"Oh nice, he's cute." I decided to mess with Lucy while she talked to her friend, and slowly started fucking her again. Lucy let out a moan as I did. "Oh my god is he still going right now?" I heard Jamie say.

"Yeah. He hasn't cum yet. You guys can keep going if you want too, hm we don't mind." I heard them start doing it again.

"Nnngh so how long have you and Rich been together? I know- oh fuck, I know you started hanging out after he came back to school, but didn't know- mmmm, you guys were together."

"Well we're not like dating. But, hmmmm, but we started having sex a- ahhhh, a little while ago." Now that I was a little more relaxed I felt myself start to enjoy this. "Hooo, what about you and Nathan?" Lucy asked.

"He asked me out, hmmmover the summer, and we started going out thennnnuh."

"That's nnice. You guysss know each uh-other?" Lucy asked us.

"Not too well." I said. "We've had a class together before but aren't too close."

"Yeah." He affirmed.

"You guys, unh, wanna get to know eachhh other?" Jamie asked. We both yelled, "No!" at the same time.

"Not right now. Guys don't really talk to each other in these situations." I said.

"Ooooh come on. We're all just- hnnnn, having fun here." Lucy said, and I heard her laughing slightly.

"It's just a guy thing. Maybe later though." Nathan said. We both continued, the girls chatting while we had sex with them. Eventually I heard Nathan let out a groan, and their noises quieted.

After a minute Jamie called out. "You guys still going?"

"Yeah, Rich, huhhh, Rich still hasn't finnnished."

Jamie laughed. "Damn and you guys have been here longer than we have. Good for you Lucy."

Lucy laughed. "Did Nathan get you off?" She asked.

"No, he's still pretty new to this and is building up his stamina. I don't mind though." Lucy was starting to breathe heavily again.

"Come, uhhh, over here. I'll eat you ouuuut." I heard some rustling from the other side of the room, and then a flashlight turned on. Jamie walked over and shone the light on us.

"Hey girl." She giggled as the light landed on Lucy's sweaty body. "God I'm so jealous of your titties." Lucy laughed, and waved her closer. Jamie stepped over her head, and knelt down. The flashlight turned off, and I heard Jamie moaning right in front of me. The thought of what was happening right in front of me, hidden away by the pitch darkness around us, pushed me even closer to finishing.

"Lucy, almost..." I trailed off. She mumbled something from under Jamie, but I couldn't understand her.

"She said, 'Me too, fill me up.'" Jamie told me.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, I speak fluent 'face covered during sex'." She laughed, and let out a sharp moan as Lucy did something beneath her. Another mumble came out. "She said 'Pinch my nipples'. You wanna do it or can I?" Jamie asked.

"Have at it." I chuckled. She giggled in front of me and I heard Lucy moan out from beneath her. I heard footsteps approaching behind me.

"Smile." I heard Nathan say, and a flash came on. Jamie quickly reacted, holding up both her hands in peace signs, and smiling. I kept my head turned, not wanting to be in the picture.

While she was illuminated I got a nice view of Jamie's body. She had what you would call a swimmer's body. Very tight and lean. She had small, probably B cup breasts and below them a flat stomach that traveled smoothly down to her crotch. I could even see the hint of abs. Her hair was jet black and messy, and I could see she was probably first or second generation Asian American. I never told anyone, but Asian girls did something for me that I didn't know where it came from or why it happened, but it worked for me. It pushed me over the edge, and I bottomed out in Lucy, painting her insides.

I was breathing heavily, but still heard the sounds of Lucy's mouth working on Jamie, as well as the latter's moans. After a minute she let out a loud cry and I knew she climaxed. This also did it for Lucy, and I felt her tightening around me again. When everyone began to calm down, I pulled out and stood up. I heard Jamie stand up, and Lucy took a breath. "Oh, that was fun." The girls laughed.

"Any chance you guys have napkins or something?" I asked the darkness around me. I received my answer in the form of hands grabbing my legs blindly, and then a mouth around my still semi-hard cock. It sucked me a bit, and licked me clean, before pulling off. "Thank you." I said.

"No problem." I heard Jamie say.

"Jamie?!" Nathan and I both said at the same time.

"Sorry I couldn't resist. I'm still super horny." She said.

I stammered. "Dude, I'm sorry I thought it was Lucy." There was a pause.

"It's fine. I was just surprised cause I thought this was Jamie." My eyes bugged out, but I still couldn't see anything.

"Lucy, you're blowing him right now?" I heard her hum out 'mhm' around him. I sighed. "Alright, well I'm gonna get dressed."

I heard her pop off of him, and he let out a disappointed groan. "Okay I will too. Let's go off campus and get something for lunch. Jamie can you uh..." The flashlight turned back on and I could see her kneeling in front of Nathan. Using the light, she stood up and we went to find our clothes.

I saw Jamie kneel in front of Nathan and begin to blow him. Once we got dressed Lucy pulled out her own phone and used the light to guide us out. "Bye Jamie, I'll text you later okay?" I heard Jamie moan out in the affirmative. We walked out of the auditorium, making sure no one was around, and shut the door behind us. We walked towards the front of the school and Lucy let out a laugh. "So did you have fun?" I sighed but gave a smile.

"Yeah. I'll admit I was kind of freaked when they first showed up. That's why it took me so long. But I did have fun."

She looked at me with a devilish expression. "You know when Nathan took that picture, I felt you get harder inside of me." I felt myself turn red, and she giggled. "So what was it? The picture? Getting watched? Jamie?" I must have reacted when she said 'Jamie' because her eyes widened. "Oh you like Jamie? Or something about her?" She waited for me to answer this time. Figuring I had nothing to lose by telling her, I did.

"Okay, don't call me weird or anything, but something about Asian girls just makes me hornier than anything else does." She laughed, but I could tell it wasn't meant to be towards me, more just about the explanation.

"Well that's good to know. I have some friends I could introduce to you."

"Well as much as I'd appreciate that, I am still gonna be taking a break from all my 'sexcapades'." I made air quotes as I said that.

Lucy's expression fell. "Oh, right." She was silent as we walked to my car.

When we sat down I asked, "So what did you wanna get to eat?" She thought for a moment, and I could still see she looked a bit somber.

"I don't know. I guess maybe Wendy's or something." I watched her for a bit, but said nothing.

Eventually I started the car and said, "Okay." We drove in silence, and it wasn't until we were in line at the drive thru that I finally spoke up. "Lucy I'm not taking a break because of anything you did. I just have been too distracted. I mean today is a prime example, I was all out of sorts because I was too busy these past few days."

Lucy nodded. "I know. But it still just upsets me. It kind of makes me feel like you don't wanna be with me."

I sighed. "Hey." I said, and reached my hand over to cup her big tit. She looked down and giggled, a smile cracking on her face

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"I do want to be with you. And I'm more than happy to find a way to prove that to you. But I just need some personal time as well." I took my hand off of her. "Do you know how much sex I've had since last week?" She shook her head. "13 times, with five different girls. Not even counting oral or other stuff."

Lucy's eyes went wide. "Wow, I didn't realize it was that much."

I nodded. "Yeah, granted some of that was special circumstances, but even without those times, it's too much for me to do while I'm in school now. At least every day."

Lucy was silent for a moment. "Well, I think I can respect that. But that does mean I want you to start taking a little initiative when you wanna do it. Cause I don't wanna be playing a guessing game of when it's good for you or not."

"I'll work on that." After a moment I added. "After we get our food, you want me to sing for you?" Lucy smiled and nodded.

When we pulled out of the drive thru, Lucy plugged in her phone and started scrolling through it. After a moment she put the phone down and I heard the quiet intro of Everlong, by the Foo Fighters begin to play. I smiled at her. She smiled back, and grabbed my hand, bringing it back to her boob. We both laughed, and I began to sing along with the lyrics. I sang for her the whole ride back to school.

We arrived back at school a few minutes after lunch began. We went to our table and joined everyone else. "Aw lucky you guys got Wendy's?" Bella asked. "I want Wendy's." She looked sad.

"I'm sorry Bella, we went during our free period. And I'm also sorry for not answering you last night. I forgot to charge my phone and ended up leaving it at home today."

She pouted a bit. "It's okay." I rolled my eyes, knowing exactly what she was doing and why. I reached into my bag and pulled out my fries, handing them to her. Immediately she lit up. "Yay! Thank you Rich."

I shook my head and pulled out my burger. Lucy dropped her fries between us and we shared. "So." I said, catching everyone's attention. "I have something I've been wanting to ask." Everyone looked at me intently. I spoke slowly, enunciating my words. "What the hell happened to you yesterday Henry?" Everyone turned to look at Henry. I had expected him to get nervous, but instead he smiled.

"Okay, I came up with the perfect plan." He reached into his backpack and pulled out a stack of papers. Looking at them I saw it was a flier that said:

SMASH ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT

Next Friday, come to the cafeteria after school to test your skills against the best players in the school in a double elimination tournament with a $100 cash prize for the winner.

Open Call! No need to qualify, and no buy in. Just show up and fight!

For more information speak to Mr. Davis or Henry Ybarra

The flier also had a cool graphic that I think Henry may have designed himself. "Wow that sounds cool Henry. It'll be a big step for you." I said after I finished reading.

He nodded. "Yeah, I'm super nervous but I know it'll be good for me." He smiled.

"Is the school gonna be okay with it though?" I asked and he nodded again.

"Yeah, Mr. Davis is sponsoring it, and he helped me get it set up with the administrators. I'm gonna head to the office later to get permission to put these up around the school. I was wondering if you guys could help me with it."

I nodded. "Yeah for sure man. And I'll come play too. Can you make it Carter?" I asked.

Carter nodded. "Hell yeah dude! I'm gonna win me some money."

We all laughed but that did make me wonder. "Oh yeah, where is the money for the prize coming from?" I asked Henry.

"I'm paying it myself. And if I win then I don't have to pay anyone!" He laughed. "I even talked to a kid I know who runs a somewhat popular streaming channel to stream it for me." I was surprised. More from the fact that Henry had talked to someone of his own volition than anything else.

"That's great dude. I'm sure it'll be a big spectacle."

Henry smiled. "Yeah, apparently he's really excited and is talking to some people about some actual presentation stuff for it. Like banners, transitions, fight cams, things like that. He may even get someone to cast the matches."

"Dang. Well if it's gonna be that big of a deal maybe we should add a little more to the pot. I'm willing to throw in a bit for it to help out." I said.

"I can too. If it's as big as you say then you'll definitely wanna have more to offer than $100." Bella said. "I'll talk to my dad and see how much he'll let me put in. But if you do end up winning then you don't get to keep it for yourself." She said. Henry glared at her jokingly.

"Don't worry Henry, I'm happy to let you keep my share." I said. "So why don't we hold off on the fliers, and then make some new ones once everything gets sorted."

"Okay. Well let me know soon so I have time to get these up and get the word out." He put the fliers away and went back to eating. We finished lunch and Bella, Lucy, and I walked to our next class together. Mr. Gunderson was at the door welcoming everyone in and handing out worksheets.

When the bell rang, he walked into the class and stood up front. "Alright gang, don't worry about that sheet I just gave you, I'm just gonna have you fill it out to see how much everyone knows already. It's not graded, but it'll help me get a good feel for where we're at. Oh and this is not meant to be a partner activity. Don't worry we'll have plenty of those later."

He gave us around 20 minutes to fill out the sheet. I knew a fair amount, but there was also a lot that I didn't have a clue about. The whole time we worked Bella was using her foot to play with mine. Eventually he called the time, and told us to bring our papers up to his desk. After everyone sat back down he got up and pulled down the projector screen that every classroom was equipped with. He shut off the lights and hooked his computer up to the projector, showing off the first page of a powerpoint. "Okay, so I'll look over those before next class, but for now I'm gonna cover some of the basic stuff. Most of you should know this but just in case pay attention.

"Okay so first things first, if you don't know, the universe is the constantly expanding space that makes up the reality we live in. There's really no telling how big it is because it's," he paused for an answer, "constantly expanding right? Guys I like to have a little interaction here so if you know the answer shout it out okay? Alright so within the universe there are huge clusters of stars called galaxies. There's a few different types but the most famous is the kind that our galaxy, the milky way, is. Anyone know what kind of galaxy we live in? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?"

I spoke up. "It's a spiral galaxy."

He nodded at me. "That's correct, uhhh Rich." He pointed at me and I nodded. "Nailed it. It's always embarrassing when I get the first kid's name wrong." We all laughed.

"Okay, so galaxies are made up of hundreds of billions of stars across hundreds of thousands of light years. Crazy thing is though, so far we haven't been able to see a single conclusive sign of intelligent life outside of our own solar system. Now if we were to get into that we'd have to go into this whole thing called the Fermi Paradox, and that's some deep shit that we don't have time for." Everyone laughed again. I was beginning to really like Mr. Gunderson. "So almost all of those stars out there have at least one planet orbiting around them. We haven't found any that don't yet, but in a universe of infinite possibility there's bound to be at least one.

"Our star, 'el sol' or the sun for all you whiteys out there, has... 8 planets. Sorry, that one's on me it was a weird one. It used to be 9, but they revoked my boy Pluto's planethood." He pounded a fist on his chest and pointed up. "Okay, so here's where we might start to get into some stuff you guys don't know. How do stars and planets form?"

And so it went. When the bell rang Mr. Gunderson ran to his desk and pulled something out from one of the drawers. He came over to my desk as I was packing up and held a jar out towards me. It was full of dum dum lollipops. "Here, since you were the first one to speak up." I smiled and picked out a root beer flavored one. Mr. Gunderson nodded at me. "Good choice." He looked at Bella and moved the jar over to her. "Here quick, don't tell anyone." She giggled and picked out a blue raspberry one.

Bella and I walked to our last class together, and sat down, both of us finishing our lollipops. Donny sat down next to me, and asked about them. "Our last teacher gave them to us." He nodded. Ms. Isaacs started class with some icebreaker games, since we still had until next week to finish reading and there wasn't much else to do so far. We all got to know our classmates and teacher, and I learned that Ms. Isaacs actually grew up in town, but had to move away when her parents separated. She moved back to be closer to her mom when she graduated college.

We spent around half of the class doing that, before Ms. Isaacs gave us time to read, or do other schoolwork. I hadn't gotten anything from Mr. Gunderson, and had already read ahead in the book so I just sat there with nothing to do. Ms. Isaacs noticed and walked up to me. "Is everything alright Mr. Flynn?" She asked me.

"Yeah, I just don't have anything to work on, and already finished the reading."

She nodded. "Okay, well if you like you can read ahead a bit."

"I did. I made it to chapter 5." I told her.

"Oh, well then I suppose you can just use your phone quietly." I wondered how difficult I would unintentionally end up making this for her.

"I left it at home today." She glanced around the room, and then up to the clock.

Sighing, she said, "Okay, well just this once if you'd like, you can leave early." I glanced at Bella, who was working on something for another class, and she nodded.

"Okay, thank you Ms. Isaacs." I stood up, grabbing my bag, and gave Bella a kiss. I realized that Ms. Isaacs was still standing right in front of my desk, and saw her smiling amused. My face flushed and I quickly walked out the door.

I got home right around the time that school would normally let out. Sam's car was gone, but mom was still home. When I walked inside I didn't see her anywhere so I went to my room and grabbed my phone. It had long since fully charged, and I saw the stream of notifications I had missed since yesterday. "Rich?" I heard my mom call from down the hall.

"Yeah I'm in here." She walked into my room and looked surprised. "You got home early."

I nodded. "Yeah, my last teacher let me leave early. I got to beat after school traffic so that was nice."

"Well that's nice. But I don't want you leaving early all the time." She said.

"Yeah, today was just a weird occurrence because we had free time at the end of class, but I was already caught up on everything I needed to do so she just let me go." I told her.

"Oh, well good for you then Richie." She smiled. "Sam left a little while ago. She's such a nice girl, I really hope she sticks around."

I nodded. "Yeah, me too. What time did you want to go to dinner?" I asked her.

"Well, I ate a couple of hours ago, but maybe around 7?"

"That sounds good to me. I'll be ready." She smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek, before walking out. I looked back to my phone and saw I had a lot of messages, as well as a few missed calls from Annie. I checked the texts she had sent me.

A: Mom told me one of your girlfriends is spending the day with her? What's going on with that?

A: Rich?

A: Hey can you call me?

A: Rich I'm starting to get worried, is everything okay?

A: Lucy and Bella say they haven't heard from you either what's going on?

A: Okay Lucy just told me you left your phone at home. Way to go stupid

I chuckled and called her. It rang for a while before she finally picked up. "Oh now you call me. I was in a lecture, you could've waited a little longer."

I laughed. "Well my big sister was all worried about me and I wanted to let her know I was okay."

She sighed. "Well it was my last class of the day and it was nearly over anyway. So, catch me up to speed on everything that's been happening."

I explained everything that had happened since the last time I had messaged her. "Well it sounds like you and mom did the right thing with her. I'm glad you gave her some love, mom was right it sounds like she was needing it bad. And you can let her know that if she ever stays over she's welcome to borrow some of my clothes if she needs to." Annie said after I finished.

"Well I'm sure she'd appreciate it, but she's kind of... she has..." I didn't really wanna say it considering I was comparing Sam to my sister.

"Bigger tits?" She asked, finishing my thought for me.

"And ass." I said.

Annie laughed. "Well damn, now I really wanna see this girl." She paused. "Ca-"

"NO!" I shouted before she even got the first word out.

"Come on Richie," Annie said laughing, "if the girl's gonna be staying in my room I should at least be able to talk to her."

I sighed. "Fine. I'll send you her number, but that's as much as I'll do. Anything else you want you have to figure out how to get it yourself."

Annie sighed now. "Fine. I guess that's fair. Shouldn't be too hard anyway. I'll just have to work my magic." She was trying to get under my skin and it was working.

"What is it with you and the girls I'm seeing anyway?"

I heard her laugh. "Hey you've got good taste in women. Can't help it if I'm interested in them. Plus, I'm still dealing with my dry spell."

I groaned. "Why do you have to make me hear that with my ears? Just go and find some dude to have sex with instead of traumatizing me."

She laughed again. "Hey it's not that simple. I may be at college but I'm not the kind of girl who just spreads my legs for any dude who asks."

"Really? With how much you've been poking into my sex life I figured you would've been on your knees the second you got back on campus."

She scoffed. "You are such an asshole." She laughed. "Okay maybe I had a guy waiting for me when I got back, but he was a total two pump chump and it totally ruined the night for me."

I laughed now. "Aww poor little Annie can't find someone to give it to her good."

"What happened to 'stop traumatizing me'?" She asked. "Well when it's funny I can overlook the fact that it's you who's telling me it." I said.

"Well I was gonna try and have a clever comeback but with how things have been going for you I don't really have anything to use against you."

I laughed again. "Yeah things are pretty good. I'm actually having to take a break cause I've been having too much sex."

"Asshole." She said.

"Nah I'm not really into butt stuff." We both laughed.

"Well I'm almost back to my dorm so I'll let you go. Remember to send me Sam's number."

I gave an exaggerated sigh. "I will. Bye Annie."

"Bye Richie." She ended the call. I sent Sam's contact to her, and also told Sam that I did. She was fine with it. The rest of my texts were what I expected. Different people sending me something then asking where I was when I didn't reply. Bella had sent me a pic last night of her in her pajamas. Her hair was damp and she looked very cute. She was holding her breasts up under her arm and I could see her nipples poking through the fabric of her shirt. I saw that I had been on the phone with Annie for a while and figured that Bella was probably home by now.

Testing my luck I decided to FaceTime her. She answered after a few seconds and I saw her beautiful face smiling at me. She was lying on her bed and was wearing her glasses. Normally she wore contacts but she occasionally wore glasses instead. I thought she looked even cuter when she had them on. "Hey Rich." She said waving at me.

"Hey Bella. I figured I'd give you a call to make up for missing your texts last night." Her smile widened.

"Aww you're sweet. And you decided to FaceTime me so you could try and catch me in the bath?" She asked.

"Yeah." I chuckled knowing I had been caught.

She giggled. "Well I still appreciate getting to see you, and don't want you to leave without a little show so..." she pulled the camera back and pulled up her shirt. She reached up to her bra and unfastened it. It had front hooks, so when she unfastened it the cups fell loosely, and the weight of her enormous boobs caused them to fall to either side of her body. I was instantly rock hard.

"You're amazing Bella."

"I know." She said, angling the camera up slightly so I could see her smiling.

"So what were you up to?" I asked her.

"Just doing my homework, what about you?" She asked, watching me through the screen.

"Well Annie was worried when she didn't hear from me so I gave her a call to let her know I was okay, and we talked for a while."

Bella nodded. "That's good. What kind of stuff did you guys talk about?" She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

"Well mom let her know that Sam stayed over for a couple nights and-"

"Sam stayed over with you?" She cut me off.

"Yeah."

She looked upset. "Lucky. I wanna stay the night with you sometime."

I smiled. "You're more than welcome to. Just give me a heads up before you're planning on it."

She smiled. "Okay. Sorry anyway, what were you saying?"

I continued my explanation. "So like I said mom told Annie that Sam was staying over, and she wanted to know what was going on about that. So I told her why, and then her being the way she is, she wanted all the dirty details and made me tell her what we did."

I saw Bella's face get excited. "Oooo tell me too."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine. So after everyone left on Monday Sam and I had sex on the couch, and then-"

Bella cut me off. "No, don't just breeze past all the good stuff."

I laughed. "Okay. So after everyone left, Sam came up to me and gave me a kiss, then she got down on her knees and started blowing me."

I saw Bella's hand grab her tit and she started playing with it. "Uhuh."

"Then she took off her clothes and got on the couch, and I stuck my finger inside her dripping pussy, and talked dirty to her." Bella bit her lip and closed her eyes. "Then I stuck another finger in her, then another, and I started sliding them in and out of her." Bella's hand had dropped down and I could tell she was playing with herself.

"After that I got right up behind her and I started fucking her, hard." Bella moaned and I saw her get a shiver. "I pounded her from behind, grabbing her tits and slapping her ass." Bella's mouth opened and she started to writhe. "I told her she was only a hole for me to use, and that she was my little slut." Bella was loving every word of this.

"And I made her tell me she was my little slut, I made her scream it out loud." Bella dropped her phone to the side, but I could see from an angle that she was using her hand that was holding it to play with her nipple. "Then I slammed myself all the way down inside her and blasted her insides with my load." Bella spent a few minutes masturbating before she finally realized I had stopped talking.

"Sorry, I got a little distracted." She said as she picked the phone back up.

"I'll say." I replied smiling. I could see her breathing heavily.

"Was that the only time you did it with her?" She asked.

I rolled my eyes. "No, but I think I'll save that one for next time."

She pouted. "Aww don't tease me like that."

I laughed. "Sorry Bella but I gotta spread them out. Otherwise we'd be here all night and I wouldn't have anything to tell you next time."

She squinted her eyes at me. "Hm. Fine. But I'm gonna hold you to that. If I don't get another story next time then I'll withhold these." She said, lifting up one of her boobs to the camera.

"You wouldn't dare." I said, pretending to challenge her.

"Oh I would. I know you love my big beautiful titties, and I won't let you see them unless you tell me."

I gave a mock huff. "Fine. I guess you leave me no choice."

She smiled. "Good. I'll look forward to it. But since you were nice enough to tell me a story I'll let you have this. You might wanna start recording." I set my phone to record, hiding the view of my camera on my screen. Bella, still holding one of her massive mammaries, lifted it up to her mouth, and began to suck on the nipple. She moaned into her tit, licking around it and pulling on it with her teeth. After a minute of this she switched the phone into her other hand and repeated the process with the other one.

I pulled my pants down and began to jerk off to the sight. Bella noticed and pulled the boob from her mouth. "Turn your camera around." I did, and she moaned, bringing the nipple back and sucking on it again. She continued, swapping back and forth between each nipple until I reached my breaking point. I shot my load into the air, and I saw Bella watching enraptured. She let go of the nipple in her mouth, and I saw her lick her lips hungrily. "I want you inside of me right now." I smiled, though she couldn't see it.

I ended the recording and turned my camera back around. "I wish I could but I've got dinner plans with my mom tonight."

"Aww. Okay, well I want you soon."

I nodded. "I know. But we'll have to be careful too. I don't want you to lose control like last time and risk getting you pregnant."

She sighed. "Yeah. My consult for birth control isn't until this weekend and I won't even be ready until after my next period anyway." She looked at me sadly.

"Well that doesn't mean we have to wait. We can just use condoms until then." She gave a little smile. "You better mean it, cause I'm gonna take you up on that."

I laughed. "Sure thing." I paused. "But I do need to talk to you. I already talked to Lucy, but I kind of need to slow down on all the sex I'm having."

"Why?" She asked.

"Well, I mean after everything last night and today, if I keep going at this rate I'm gonna lose track of everything. I just need to hold off a bit for now. I'm not saying I'm gonna stop, but just maybe not have sex every day you know?"

She nodded. "That makes sense. As long as you make time for me it's fine."

I smiled. "Of course. I'll always have time for you." She smiled back and I saw her look as if she wanted to say something, but she let it go.

"Alright, well I'm gonna get back to my homework, but thank you for calling me."

I nodded. "Yeah of course. I'll try and call you more often now."

She held the camera out over her tits again. "One last look before you go." I took a screenshot and she giggled.

"Thank you Bella."

She brought the camera back to her face. "You're welcome. Bye Rich." She blew me a kiss.

"Bye Bella."

A few hours later I got ready to leave for dinner. Mom and I were at the door, and she grabbed her keys out of her purse and handed them to me. "You drive." She said. I took them hesitantly. She had never let me drive her car before.

"Are you sure?" I asked her.

"Yeah. You've proven you're a responsible driver. I trust you." We walked out and I locked the door behind us. When we got into the car I spent a minute adjusting the seat until I was comfortable. Mom just watched and said, "Thank god for driver presets." I connected my phone to the Bluetooth, but before I could pick a song mom snatched the phone out of my hand. After a moment she picked a song and said "My car my music."

Oh, Pretty Woman, by Roy Orbison started playing. Mom had pretty good taste in music too. I drove us to Memoria Italia, a local restaurant. It wasn't the nicest place but the food was good, which was all mom wanted. We had a nice dinner and just spent time talking about different things we hadn't had a chance to talk about in a while. When we got back in the car mom once again took my phone and started playing Hungry Like the Wolf, by Duran Duran. 1 out of 2 wasn't bad for her.

When I got home I checked my phone before getting out of the car and saw that Bella had sent a text to the group chat.

BP: Dad said if a couple of us are putting in money for the tournament he'd be willing to cover the difference and make an even $1000

HY: Holy shit really? Tell him I said thank you

BP: I will. But that does mean at least one or two of you are also gonna have to front some money

HY: I'm already in for $100

CC: I can probably pull $100 from my savings for it

BP: Anyone else?

LE: As much as I'd love to help I don't have a lot of money to spare sorry

DG: Same

CW: I spent all my money on school supplies and don't get paid until next week

I sent them my response.

RF: I can put in $100. But I'll just have to wait until everything's for sure happening before I do

"Rich!" I heard my mom's voice call from outside. Realizing I still had the keys with me I hopped out and ran to unlock the door for her.

"Sorry, I was reading some texts."

She smiled. "That's okay. I just didn't want to be standing out here all night. We stepped inside and I handed mom her keys. "Thank you for taking me out to dinner Richie. I'm glad I got to spend some time with you."

I gave her a hug. "Me too. Maybe if you ever decide to take off of work again we can spend more time together."

She gave me a light swat to the head but smiled. "I'll see about it. But I can't make any long term promises because the holidays are gonna be coming up soon and we're gonna be getting really busy."

"Oh yeah. Good times." I said sarcastically. "Just let me know next time you'd like to do something and I'll make time. I'm going to lay down mom, good night." I said walking towards my room.

"Good night." She called after me. I changed into my pajamas and laid down. I was tired and decided to take a shower in the morning. I made sure that my phone was plugged in and that I had no more messages before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

The rest of the week passed by normally. Lucy and I kept having some fun during our free period, finding different spots for us to have sex or for her to give me blowjobs. She joined Henry and me once again when we went to the gym. Donny had us run our same routine, and I could feel myself getting more comfortable with working out regularly. Donny suggested we find another day during the week to work out, and we decided we would go after school on Wednesdays. I also began to see more results. I had managed to shed almost all of the lingering body fat I had from my chubby days, and I could see some muscle definition beginning to appear.

Henry, Lucy, and I left Donny to continue his workout like usual, and Henry said goodbye as he got into his car. We got into my car and we drove back to her house. On the way we listened to Roundabout by Yes, and I sang along, pushing the limits of my voice by singing in that range for that long. Eventually we arrived and she invited me inside.

I hadn't actually been inside of her house before. It was a modest 2 bedroom house with only one story. She led me to her room and opened the door. The walls were a faded pink, with a few poster boards hanging around, as well as a mirror next to the closet. She had a strand of LED lights running around the perimeter of the room where the wall met the ceiling. They were currently cycling through the spectrum at slow intervals.

There were pictures of her and her friends scattered around, and I even saw a few of us together that she had printed out and hung up. "Nice place." I said.

"Thanks, I know it's not the nicest but it's home." She sat down on her bed.

"Hey as long as it keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer that's all that matters." She smiled. "I'll be honest though, I did not take you for a pink room kinda girl."

She laughed. "Yeah well it's the way my parents painted it when I was born, and I never saw a point in changing it."

"So did you just bring me inside to show me your room?" I asked her.

"Do you not remember?" She asked. I tried thinking about what she may be referring to, but couldn't come up with anything. That is until she started lightly bouncing on her bed, causing her tits to jiggle enticingly in her sports bra. My eyes went wide and she smiled as I got it. "Come here." She said, and I obeyed. She pulled down my shorts and watched me grow to full length. "Well I'm not quite as sweaty now, so we can't do this all natural. But I don't think you'll mind."

She reached beside her bed and pulled out a bottle of body oil. She flicked open the cap and poured some over her tits. She began to rub it in, making sure to get it between them before arching her back, presenting them to me. Knowing an invitation when I see it, I lifted up the bottom of her bra, or bras as I realized she was wearing two, and slid my dick up between her large tits, feeling their warmth envelop me. I let the fabric of the bras go, and put my hands on her shoulders. I began to thrust between her melons, sliding smoothly through with the help of the oil. I saw my head poke out the top with each push, and Lucy gave a little giggle as she did too.

She smiled up at me, clearly happy I was enjoying myself. Given the position we were in there wasn't much we could do besides let me have my fun. I saw her nipples poking through her bra, and so I knew she was still enjoying it somewhat. I pumped myself over and over between her chest, feeling them squish around me. "I wore one of my old bras today. It's a little small but I didn't mind since I knew it would feel even better for you." She smiled. Knowing she was thinking of ways to help me feel even better added to the pleasure. I was in heaven. I felt myself nearing completion, and I began to go faster.

Picking up on it, she grabbed the sides of her boobs and pushed them together, squeezing me even tighter. I let loose, sending cum flying up towards her chin. She laughed and opened her mouth to catch the next one. I had stopped fully thrusting against her tits, but I still bucked my hips with every twitch of my cock spitting out seed. Eventually it stopped and she just held me there for a moment. She wiped her face with her finger and sucked the mess into her mouth. She looked down at her chest after swallowing and sighed. "I wish I didn't have to shower so I could wear this on me all day." My cock twitched at that and she giggled. She gave her tits a shake around me for a bit, then looked up at me and winked before pulling them off of me, letting my dick fall limp.

I pulled my shorts back up and she gave me a smile. "What did you think?" She asked me.

"I'm wondering how we never did that before."

She laughed. "Well I'm happy to do it again for you. Maybe we'll make it our after workout tradition."

I nodded adamantly. "I am all for that."

She laughed again. "Alright well unfortunately I stink so I'm gonna have to hop in the shower. I'll walk you out though." She led me back to the door, and gave me a kiss goodbye before letting me out. Feeling a little playful I gave her boobs a squeeze and she laughed, shaking them one more time for me before I walked out.

Bella sent me a text on Sunday letting me know that she had picked up her first round of pills and was now on the countdown until she had her next period so they would take effect. I responded letting her know that I would pay her a visit first thing when she was ready. During that week I continued practicing the guitar and I could feel the beginnings of calluses forming on my fingertips, as well as under some of the joints. Henry also got confirmation on some of the plans for the tournament and we showed up early to put up fliers on Monday morning.

Henry let us know that he had been approached a few times with people interested in the tournament. He said that he managed to talk to them normally and wasn't nervous at all. I was really happy for him and glad that he was finally able to open himself up to other people. Finally Friday arrived, and the tournament would be happening soon. Henry had listed me as part of the event staff, and because of that I was able to leave my final class early that day to help set up. It was an A day, meaning I had PreCal last, and I was more than happy to have an excuse to leave early.

When I arrived in the cafeteria, I saw that a lot of the equipment had already arrived and Henry was there telling people what to set up and where. I couldn't believe this was the same kid who couldn't even give a presentation in English class last year. I walked up to him and he got excited when he saw me. He ran over and showed me the plan he had mocked up on where everything would go. I helped where I could, but a lot of the equipment owners preferred to set up themselves.

At the far end of the cafeteria there was the "main stage" area. There wasn't actually a stage, but it was where the games being played on stream would happen. There were also multiple console setups where other matches would be played. To the right there was a small table with a viewing monitor where the matches would be cast from. A large projector screen was set up so that streamed matches could be viewed by everyone as they were played. I was astonished that Henry managed to set this all up only by asking a few favors.

We managed to set everything up by the time the final bell rang. Within a couple of minutes people had begun to file into the cafeteria. Henry was up at a table by the entrance doing registration. The whole group showed up, and even though Carter and I were the only ones who would be playing, the others were there to support Henry. We all sat down at a table together and were chatting as things got settled. Eventually Henry made his way up front and picked up a microphone. He turned it on and after testing it he began addressing the room.

"Alright, uh first off hello to everyone. I'm really grateful so many of you showed up to play. I had hoped to maybe get around 20 or so people when I first started planning this, but I am happy to announce that we have over 200 players here tonight." There was an applause. "Yeah crazy. But in the interest of time that does mean that we are going to be making one change to the rules. We will now only be playing a single elimination bracket. Meaning if you're out, you're out." There was a bit of a murmur between some of the kids sitting around the room.

"Matches will be best of 3, with 3 stocks, and no hazards, until the top 8 where we'll switch to best of 5. Stages are all Omega random. We'll have a screen showing a live bracket, as well as matches being played on stream. If you see your match will be on stream please be ready, don't leave to go to the bathroom 2 minutes before or anything like that. Oh yeah, and I wanna give a big thanks to Omar, aka ReStocks for streaming the match, as well as helping put a lot of this together." There was another round of applause. "Also a thanks for Mr. Davis for sponsoring the event, as well as my best friends for supporting me through this process." He pointed us out and we all gave a wave.

"Alright, I guess that's about it, so let's get to it. Pete and Carter you're on stream first." He turned off the mic and set it down. After a few minutes of everyone warming up, Pete and Carter took the stage, and started the first match. I played my first at the same time so I couldn't watch but Carter won his match 2:1. I played mine and managed a clean 2:0. I saw a few kids already walking out after playing their matches, but some still stayed to watch the rest.

I kept track of the bracket as everything progressed and was able to figure out who the top contenders would probably be based on what was played. Henry was one of them, as well as a few kids named Dylan, Luke, and Ben. Carter and I got knocked out early, so we just watched Henry play his matches. I also took a moment to peek at the stream, and saw that there were nearly 1000 people watching. Henry was soaring through his matches, with only a few lost rounds. When he wasn't playing, I took a moment to watch the other kids who I thought might make it through.

I thought that Henry would probably be able to take most of them, but was a little worried about Luke. He was a Steve player and had yet to lose a single game. After a couple of hours it was finally time for the top 4. Most of my predictions were correct, though Dylan got knocked out in the top 8 and the last player was a girl named Lilly. Henry went up against her and each game was close but Henry still won 3:1. As expected Luke won 3:0 and he and Henry would be playing the final match.

I could tell Henry was nervous, but we did our best to reassure him. They took their seats at the table for the final match. Henry picked Shulk, and Luke took Steve. The games were intense, each one coming down to the wire. A fair amount of people had stayed, and we all watched intently at the spectacle unfolding. Everyone cheered at great plays and game wins. It was close, both Henry and Luke both had two games on the board. They loaded in and started the final match. Henry managed to take Luke's first stock, but after that Luke just whittled him down.

Henry was already in the red after the first, so he quickly got knocked after Luke respawned. Henry fought as best as he could but Luke just seemed to know what was coming. He took another stock from Henry, and was driving the damage up high. Henry finally managed to take the second stock from him, but at this point there was nothing that could be done. Henry's damage had passed 100% and any solid hit would send him flying. He put up a good fight, but in the end Luke took it all.

I expected Henry to look upset, and maybe just to walk off the 'stage', but instead he turned toward Luke and I saw he had a big smile on his face. They stood up and gave each other a hug, then Luke threw his arms up victorious while Henry applauded behind him. Henry walked over to us and smiled as we welcomed him back. "Sorry you didn't win man." I said, but Henry shook his head.

"This wasn't really about winning for me. I just needed to know that I could push myself this far." He picked up his backpack and grabbed the envelope that held the prize money out of it. I thought about what he said as he walked toward Luke. I was happy for him. Even though he didn't win, he put himself out there and came out to applause with a smile on his face. And that was the real victory for him.

Luke took the envelope and gave Henry another hug, and I saw them talk to each other for a moment. Henry nodded and smiled after Luke said something then they bumped fists and Luke walked towards the table I had seen him at between games. Henry spent some time talking with everyone who had worked the event before he finally came back to us.

"Well, you guys may be seeing a little less of me in the days to come. Because I just made a new friend."

We all gave a little cheer for him, and Caity said, "About time. We've all wanted to kick you out for a while now." Henry laughed and shook his head.

"You guys don't need to stick around. I gotta stay to help with cleanup and it'll probably be another hour or so." I stayed to help Henry finish up, but everyone else took off. When we finished Henry and I walked towards the parking lot together.

"I'm proud of you man." I said, giving him a pat on the shoulder. "You put on a hell of a show."

He nodded. "Yeah. Thank you, for everything, Rich. I couldn't have done this without any of you guys, but especially you." I smiled at him.

"Of course man. I was happy to help."

He shook his head. "That's not what I'm talking about. I was... I was broken when I first came to this school. But you took me in, when probably no one else would have. You helped get me here. I owe all of this to you. I'll be honest, if I hadn't met you, I don't know if I would still be here today." He paused solemnly. "But now thanks to you, and everyone, I think I'm finally recovering." I was about to say something but he quickly added, "Oh and Sam too. She really helped me, I need to thank her again."

I nodded. "I'll tell her, she'll be happy to hear it." He smiled.

"Thanks man. I'm really happy you're my friend."

I gave a small chuckle. "Alright, quit trying to get into my pants." We both laughed.

"Oh speaking of, you know that girl Lilly?" I nodded. "I asked her out."

I gave him a surprised look. "Oh really? What did she say?" I asked.

He made an annoyed look, and raised his pitch to sound like a girl. "'Did you seriously just ask me out after you beat me in your own tournament?'" We both laughed at that.

"But, I kept talking to her and eventually she agreed to go out on a date with me." He said.

"Hey, that's awesome man. Congrats."

He smiled. "Thanks dude. But I wanna keep it on the down low with everyone until after. I feel like Caity will probably try and get me to screw it up." I didn't think that Caity would actually do something like that, but then again Henry hadn't seen her more caring side that I had.

"Yeah sure thing man. Where are you gonna take her?"

He looked out in front of us. "No idea."

"Well what were you thinking about doing with her?"

"No clue."

I laughed. "Alright, well text me later and I'll try and help you come up with a game plan." I told him.

"Sounds good man. I'll talk to you later."

I nodded. "Later." We went our separate ways and I made my way to my car. As I sat in my car, I thought for a moment and decided that now would be the perfect opportunity to do something I had been looking for the chance to do for a while now. Get my revenge on Henry.

RF: Guys, I have important news about something that happened after you all left

LE: Did something happen to you and Henry?

RF: Yes to Henry, no to me

RF: Henry asked a girl out on a date

LE: Wow! Great job Henry

BP: Good for you! Who is it?

I heard the muffled voice of Henry yelling at me from across the parking lot. "Rich you son of a bitch!" I turned and saw him running towards me. I laughed and locked my car. He tried the handle when he made it, but it wouldn't open. He started banging on the window and calling me all sorts of names. I looked down and sent another text.

RF: That girl he beat in the tournament Lilly

BP: Oh yeah she was cute

LE: Yeah Henry, get you a gamer girlfriend

Henry looked down at his phone when I sent my text. "You motherfucker!" He started hitting my car harder. I just laughed and started the car.

I cracked the window and said, "Payback's a bitch ain't it Henry?" He glared at me angrily as I put the car in reverse and began to back out of my spot. My phone rang as I drove off and I saw Henry was calling me. I answered and casually said, "Hello?" Immediately Henry's screaming voice came through.

"Dude! What the hell? I asked you not to tell them."

I laughed. "Yeah, and I asked you not to tell my sister about me and Lucy but look how that went."

"That was different." He said.

"How was that any different?" I asked him.

"That was for boobs Rich. Everyone knows all promises go out the window when boobs are involved."

I laughed again. "Well maybe boobs were involved for me. You don't know."

"Fuck off dude, you texted that the second you left. No boobs involved."

"Well I can get boobs involved. I'll text Lucy right now and I bet she'll send some."

He sighed. "Asshole." He paused. "Send me them if you do."

I scoffed. "Hey, you've got a girl to take out on a date now. No boobs for you unless they're from her."

He groaned. "Fine, god. I'll get my own boobs."

"Send me them if you do."

"Oh fuck you Rich." I laughed.

"Hey, I didn't even get a good look at her, what's she got?" He was silent for a moment.

"Bigger than Caity, smaller than Sam." I nodded to myself.

"Not bad man. Alright go home, I'll start thinking of some good date ideas for you." I ended the call and once I was at a stoplight I picked up my phone to find a song to listen to. I scrolled for a minute, not sure what I was in the mood for, when something crashed into my car from behind.

The airbags went off immediately, and I fought against them until they deflated enough for me to get out. Stepping out of the car I walked around to the back and saw a midsize SUV lodged into the crumpled rear end of my car. I threw my head back. "Are you fucking kidding me?!" I screamed into the air. I heard the door of the SUV open and saw a girl I recognized from school.

"Oh no! Oh my god! I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Oh shit I'm gonna be in so much trouble!" I could tell from her voice, and the way she was holding herself that she was slightly drunk. I sighed and went back to my car to get my phone.

I snapped some pictures of the accident. "What are you doing?" The girl asked me.

"Taking pictures." I said and snapped another.

"Why?" I looked at her dumbfounded, glancing between her and the cars. Without saying a word I gestured towards the cars, and walked around to take a picture of her license plate.

"Hey! Don't do that. Why are you taking pictures of my car?" She yelled.

I took a deep breath and said, "Because, your stupid ass drove your car into mine. So, I need pictures to file an insurance claim."

Her face turned mad. "Don't call me stupid! Or my ass!" I rolled my eyes and walked around to the other side to continue taking pictures.

"Hey! Cut that out!" I ignored her. "Come on, it was just a little accident, your car's fine." I stared at her in disbelief.

"Even disregarding how wrong you are, I need to have evidence of the crash no matter how serious it is." I walked to the front and took the last of my pictures.

"Come on please, I can't get in trouble, I shouldn't even be out right now."

I nodded. "That's the first thing you've said that I agree with."

Her face turned. "Asshole!"

"You should probably be doing the same thing. Insurance companies need evidence from both sides." I told her.

"Why are you such an expert in car crashes anyway?" I felt my blood boil, and I turned and glared at her.

"If you must know, it's because I was in a car accident earlier this year and it killed my father. So my mother, being the smart and responsible woman she is, told me to always make sure to be safe, and make sure to have as much evidence as possible if I am ever in an accident again. And what do you know? Here we are!" I was fuming now, and I knew I would probably snap if she said anything else that pissed me off. But I saw her eyes fall, and her shoulders dropped as she took in what I said.

"I'm sorry." I took a breath, but said nothing. "Wait," I readied myself for the next bit of inane drivel that I expected her to spout, "you're that kid aren't you? Rich... something. Rich kid." I nodded, struggling to listen to her. "Maybe I can do something for you. I really don't wanna get in trouble, is there anything I can do to make you stop?" I shook my head. "Come on, I've seen you with all those girls. Even Lucy Erickson. You telling me I can't offer you something that'll change your mind?" I rubbed a hand over my eye, the frustration I felt towards this girl growing exponentially.

"I'm a little curious myself. I mean, you got one of the hottest girls in school. You've gotta have something that got her attention. Can't we make something good out of this situation?" She asked, and as she did, she pulled the tank top she wore down showing me her breasts. She was probably around the same size as Caity, but I didn't feel the need to ask her about it.

"Put your shirt back on. I'm not gonna sleep with you, or let you blow me, or whatever you had planned." She frowned and let go of the top, and it snapped back into place, covering her. I opened my phone app and began to dial 911.

"Hey, who are you calling?" She asked, but I ignored her. After a moment the operator picked up.

"911, what is the location of your emergency?"

"Hi, I'm on East 3rd and Benedict, I was just rear ended by another car." The girl's eyes went wide and she started pacing around.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!"

The operator's voice answered me on the phone. "I see, and are you injured at all sir?" I looked down but didn't see any visible injuries.

"No nothing I can see. I don't think the other driver is either." The girl was panicking and I could see she wanted to say something to me but didn't want the call operator to hear.

"Okay sir, I'm sending a nearby patrol car to your location, it should be there within a few minutes. Please stay on the line until I have confirmation that the officers have arrived."

"Okay I will." I sat down on the curb beside my car, holding the phone to my ear. After about 3 minutes of waiting I saw lights approaching. "I think I see the police car." I said to the operator.

"Okay, please remain on the line until I have confirmation from both you and the responding officers." The squad car pulled up behind us and two officers stepped out. "Okay sir I just received confirmation that the officers are on the scene. Are they there with you?" The operator asked.

"Yes, they just got out of the car." I answered.

"Okay, you can end the call now." I did this as an officer approached me.

"Hi there, I'm Officer Jensen," he turned and pointed to his partner who was speaking to the girl, "that's Officer Owens. Are you one of the drivers involved in this accident?" I nodded.

"Yes, I was the one who was hit."

He nodded. "Okay, would you mind telling me your name and explaining to me the whole situation?" I nodded again and explained it all to him. He had a small notebook that he scribbled something in as I spoke. "I see. So obviously there's gonna be an investigation, but it seems pretty clear that you're the victim here. I'm gonna go have a chat with my partner and we'll compare notes, then I'll come back to you."

I nodded, then asked, "Is it okay if I call someone in the meantime? I'm probably gonna need a ride after this."

"Yeah go ahead." He walked towards his partner who was still addressing the girl. I sighed and dialed mom's restaurant. The phone rang for a moment, before one of the hosts answered. I told him who I was and he brought the phone to the kitchen.

"Hello this is Phillip." Phillip is the head chef if you don't remember. I could hear in his voice that he was clearly upset at being pulled to answer the phone.

"Hey Phillip, it's Rich." I told him.

"Oh hey Rich what's up?" He asked, his tone lightening.

"Can you put my mom on? I need to talk to her about something. It's important."

"Sure thing boss." I heard him lower the phone and yell, "Natalie, phone!" A moment later I heard my mom's voice.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hey mom." I said.

"What's wrong Rich?" Mom had a rule when she was at work. All kitchen staff did not carry their phones while working. So if Annie or I needed to reach her, we had to call the restaurant and ask for her. But we could only do this in emergencies or other extenuating circumstances. I figured this qualified. "I was in an accident."

She gasped. "Are you okay? Where are you? I'll come right now." She continued talking frantically on the phone, as well as to her coworkers.

"Mom, mom!" I shouted, getting her attention. "I'm fine, just calm down, I'm not hurt."

I heard her take a breath. "Okay, I'm sorry Richie. Can you tell me where you are so I can come get you?" I told her where the accident was and that I was here with the police officers. "Okay, I'll get there as soon as I can." She told me.

"Be careful mom, remember I'm fine." I said.

"I know, I'll be safe, I promise. I'll see you soon."

"See you soon." I responded and ended the call. A few minutes later Officer Jensen walked back over to me.

"So, it seems like the other driver involved was under the influence. That means that this is already a criminal charge." I looked at her and she was sitting on the ground crying. "Now, there's also the fact that she is under the legal drinking age, so no matter how much she's had we'll have to file a report on this anyway, but I just have to check with you and see whether you'll be wanting to press charges as well."

I thought for a moment, then sighed. "No, I don't."

He looked at me curiously. "Are you sure?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah. She just made a mistake is all. No one got hurt. So I don't wanna press charges."

He nodded. "Okay. Well I'm gonna need to take down your information for the report. So I'll need to see your driver's license, as well as your registration and insurance information." I went to my car and got everything, then gave it to him.

As he was writing I asked, "Is there anything I can do to maybe help her get less of a punishment?" He looked up at me but shook his head.

"No. Unfortunately the most you can do is refuse to press charges. Because she was under the influence charges have to be filed for that no matter what." I nodded understandingly. The officer talked me through the process of how everything would go down and what my next few weeks might look like.

A few minutes after he finished talking to me I saw my mom's car pull up and she got out and ran towards me. "Rich!" Officer Owens stepped in front of her.

"Ma'am this is an ongoing accident, I'm gonna have to ask you to step back." She told her.

"No, it's fine I'm his mother." Officer Owens looked at me and I nodded. She stepped out of the way and mom ran over to me. She pulled me into a hug and berated me with questions.

"I'm fine mom really, it's fine." She took a breath and ran her hands through her hair.

"I'm sorry. I just... I got so worried when you told me you were in an accident, I couldn't..." She trailed off.

"I know mom. I'm fine, don't worry." She nodded but I could see her tearing up.

A while later Officer Jensen came back over to us. "A tow truck's on its way here. If you have anything you need to get out of your car now is the time to do it." I nodded and went to the car. I really only had to take my aux cable and my backpack. I didn't keep anything else in the car besides my registration and insurance papers and some loose change. The tow truck arrived around 10 minutes later and began pulling my car onto the trailer. I watched the bumper fall off as my car dislodged from the SUV.

The SUV was then loaded up, and the truck driver told us where he would be taking them before leaving. I gave my car one final salute as it was hauled away. After the officers said we were finished, mom took me home. I just rested my head against the window the entire time, listening to the sounds of the car and everything passing by outside. "Rich? Rich?" I heard my mom's voice. I turned to look at her. "Did you hear what I said?" I shook my head. "I said we need to figure out what we're going to do about getting you a new car." I didn't respond.

"Are you hungry? Have you eaten?" I shook my head. "You want me to pull through somewhere?" I thought for a moment and nodded. Mom only offered to get fast food when she thought I wouldn't be in the mood for her cooking. This would usually be when I was stressed out or feeling depressed. Tonight it was both. Mom brought us to Taco Bell and got me a meal before we headed home.

I sat at the table quietly with her, just staring at my food. I could tell mom wanted to tell me I needed to eat but she didn't say anything. She got up and walked towards her room, leaving me alone. I eventually got around to eating, and regretted not doing it sooner as my food had gone cold.

I went to my room and laid down in bed, pulling out my phone. I saw Annie had texted me.

A: Hey mom told me what happened. I know you're probably not in the mood to talk right now but whenever you're ready I'd like to talk to you

I didn't respond. I opened up the group chat and sent a message.

RF: I was in a car accident. I'm fine but the car isn't gonna make it

BP: Oh my god, I'm so sorry Rich, do you need anything?

LE: Do you wanna talk to anyone?

CW: What happened?

CC: You okay dude? Like emotionally?

I didn't respond to any of them either. Bella tried to call me a couple times but I let it go to voicemail. I debated on whether I should call her back for a while, and also if I should talk to anyone else. Eventually I locked my phone and turned over to go to sleep.
