Sing For Me Ch. 07

WARNING: This chapter contains a mention of contemplating suicide

I woke up to the feeling of someone gently stroking the side of my head. My eyes fluttered open and I saw Bella sitting on my bed smiling at me. "Hey." She said.

"Hey." I responded. "What are you doing here?"

"Well you were in an accident last night, and you wouldn't respond to anyone. So I wanted to come see how you're doing. Your mom let me in."

I smiled at her. "Thank you Bella. I'm sorry I didn't respond, I just wasn't really in the mood to talk."

She nodded. "I know. And we don't have to talk now if you don't want to, I just wanted to check on you and see if I could cheer you up at all."

"Well I'm not sure I'll be good company right now. I'm not even sure why I'm feeling so depressed right now."

She thought for a moment. "Well I'll see if I can't help you out with that. You want me to give you a blowjob?" I shook my head. "You wanna have sex?" I shook it again. "You wanna suck on my boobs?" I had to really consider that one, but still shook my head.

"Can you just lay down with me for a while?" I asked her.

"Of course." I held my arm up and she crawled into bed with me, cuddling up into my chest as I wrapped my arm around her.

We laid there silently for a while before I finally spoke up. "I think I do know why I'm feeling so depressed actually." I told her.

"Why?"

"Because I won't be getting my car back. Mom and dad bought it for me for my 16th birthday, and I remember dad took me outside to show it off to me. I think he was more excited about it than I was. He got in with me for the first drive and we just rode all over town for hours. I loved that day so much. And no matter how much I would make fun of my car or call it a piece of junk, I still loved it because my parents got it for me.

"And I think now that I won't have it anymore, it's like another piece of dad is gone. And it was one of my favorite pieces because of that memory." I heard my voice breaking as I spoke.

"I'm sorry Rich. That makes a lot of sense though. I can't imagine how it feels. It's like you're losing him again." She shook her head against my chest. "It's not fair. You've lost so much and now you lose even more. You don't deserve any of it. You're the best person I know and life just keeps throwing everything at you." She sighed.

"That's just the way things go I guess. Some things are out of our control. As much as we try to be the authors of our own life stories, those things we can't control are put there by whoever's really writing them. I just wish my author wasn't such a cruel bastard sometimes."

Bella nodded. "Yeah, if I ever find out who's writing your story I'll break their fingers."

I snickered. "Thank you Bella. I'm really grateful to have you."

She squeezed her arms around me. "I'm grateful I have you too. Your author did a good job putting us together." We both chuckled at that.

"Hey Bella?"

"Yeah?" She turned her head up towards me.

"Can I suck on your boobs now?"

She smiled. "Absolutely." I slid down the bed and she pulled her shirt up over her chest. She undid her bra, which was another front clasper, and her beautiful pillowy breasts spilled out. I took one of her nipples into my mouth and suckled on it. She brushed the back of my head, and moaned softly deep in her throat. I eventually fell asleep like that, still gently sucking on her.

I awoke a few hours later, my mouth still wrapped around Bella's nipple. Bella had fallen asleep too. She had moved my pillow underneath my head, and I saw she had taken her shirt and bra off, probably to be more comfortable. This girl stayed with me and let me nurse on her while I slept. How did I ever get so lucky to be with her?

I released her from my mouth and she let out a soft coo in her sleep. Gently sliding up I wrapped my arms around her again, and pulled her in for a kiss. She kissed me back, and I thought she had woken up, but she was just instinctually responding in her sleep.

I held her to me for a time before she eventually stirred and opened her eyes. She smiled at me. I had a sudden urge to say something to her but stopped myself. I didn't know if I was ready for the big L word, even if it was with Bella. Instead I just leaned in and kissed her again. "Thank you." I said when I released the kiss.

"You don't need to thank me. I'm always happy to help you Rich." My heart fluttered. I took a deep breath and sighed contentedly. "I like waking up in your arms. You think I could stay the night so I can do it again?"

"Only if I can fall asleep sucking on your boobs again."

She smiled. "Deal."

Bella drove home to grab some things before returning to spend the day with me. I texted mom to let her know that Bella would be staying the night. She had gone back to work while I slept so it was just the two of us in the house. I wanted to make her lunch, but since the only thing I knew how to cook was eggs we ordered in instead. We sat on the couch, watching movies and talking with each other. Night fell and we watched one final movie before retreating to my bedroom. As per my request she let me suck on her boobs until I fell asleep. Though this time I chose the other one as I figured the first one had enough attention already.

I once again awoke to the beautiful sight of Bella sleeping in front of me. I had managed to keep my mouth attached to her all night, and I gave her another couple of sucks eliciting light moans from her sleeping form. I felt my morning wood pressing against her, and my brain, still hazy from sleep and now from horniness cooked up an idea. I gently slid Bella's panties off of her, doing my best not to disturb her sleep. I parted her legs, and felt she was already slightly aroused. Pulling off my pajamas I knelt over her and leaned down. I slid inside and began to pump into her, feeling her grow wetter from the stimulation.

Her breathing grew heavier and she moaned louder, still sleeping. I continued, gently sliding myself in and out of her, and watching as her boobs began to rock back and forth from the movement. After a minute, she finally stirred and her eyes opened. She gave me a smile and wordlessly adjusted herself, getting in a more comfortable position beneath me. Her hands grabbed hold of her tits and she squeezed them, her eyes closing from the added pleasure. I began thrusting harder now, and her moans increased in volume. I held a finger to my lips and she closed her mouth, biting down on her lip.

Having been constantly aroused since yesterday, as well as not having cum in a few days, I didn't last long. I held on as long as I could before I pulled out of her and used my hand to finish myself. I sprayed out over her naked body and she smiled, giggling quietly as I coated her. When I finished firing on her, she sighed contentedly. "Good morning."

"Good morning." I responded. "I'm sorry you didn't wake up in my arms, but you just looked so sexy I couldn't help myself."

She giggled again. "That's okay. I liked this better anyway. I think it's my new favorite way to wake up." I crawled over her and kissed her. "Just think. Soon we can spend the night together and you can wake me up just like that again, only you'll be able to fill me up with your hot cum. Or maybe if you're careful enough, you can do the whole thing without waking me, and I'll get to wake up with a warm belly and you kissing me." The thought was enough to make me begin to grow hard again. "I'd love to go again with you, but if you put that back inside me I'm gonna start getting loud." She kissed me now. "So how about I go take a shower instead."

I kissed her back. "How about we go take a shower." I said.

"But what about your mom?"

"She knows you're here. She won't mind."

In the shower Bella got on her knees and gave me a blowjob. She finished me off in only around 5 minutes, swallowing my load greedily. We washed each other and I had to stop myself from fucking her in there too, her magnificent body calling to me the whole time. Eventually we got out and dried off, getting dressed before walking out to the kitchen. Mom was seated on the couch in the living room watching one of her shows. She gave us a smile as she saw us. "Good morning. You kids sleep okay?" She asked.

We nodded. "Yeah, Rich's bed is really comfy."

"Are you hungry? I can make you some breakfast."

Bella nodded. "If it's not too much trouble that would be wonderful."

Mom smiled at her. "You're such a sweet girl Bella. Don't tell the others but you've always been my favorite." Bella giggled and blushed. Mom got up and walked to the kitchen to begin making us breakfast. Bella and I sat on the couch. "Don't you change that. I'm still listening." Mom called from the kitchen, referring to her show. I sighed but left it on. It was one of those campy cable romance shows. I don't mind romantic shows or movies, but this was just a bit too much for me.

Mom made us biscuits and eggs. Bella and I sat at the table together and enjoyed the food while mom watched her show on the couch. A little while after we finished eating Bella got dressed and went back home. I was just getting settled on the couch next to mom when she stood up, turned off the tv and told me to put my shoes on. "Where are we going?"

"Don't worry about it, just get ready to go." With a sigh, I got up and made my way to my room. I changed and put my shoes on, and met mom at the door. Without saying anything she walked out and I followed her to her car. When we got into the car she pulled out a sleep mask and told me to put it on. I tried asking her where we were going again but she just insisted I put it on.

I begrudgingly put it on, and could only listen as mom drove us. I spent the first few minutes of the ride trying to keep track of where we were to see if I could figure out where we were going, but mom eventually took a turn that I didn't know and I had no idea where we were after that. I could tell that we had gotten onto the highway at some point, and my mind was all over the place trying to figure out what was going on.

Eventually we pulled into somewhere and I felt the car stop. Mom put it in park, and got out. She opened my door and helped me get out. She turned me, and then told me to take off the mask. My eyes took a moment to adjust to the light, but when they did I saw we were standing in the lot of a car dealership. I looked at her shocked, but she just smiled at me.

I started to walk towards the used lot, but mom grabbed my shoulder and shook her head. Instead she pointed me to the new car lot. "Go look around over there, I'm gonna go talk to someone inside." I was in disbelief.

I walked around the lanes of cars, seeing what all there was. A few minutes later mom walked over with a salesman. "Have you found one you like yet Richie?" She called as they approached.

I shook my head. "No, not yet."

"Well why don't you keep looking, then we can talk to this nice man here about some." I walked through the next couple of lanes, mom and the salesman following behind, and eventually stopped behind a car. I looked it over, walked around it, and looked through the windows. It was a white Toyota Corolla SE. Almost the exact same car I had before, only newer. I looked at mom.

She smiled and said, "I had a feeling." She turned to the salesman and let him know that it was the car I wanted. He left and came back a few minutes later and handed me the keys. I unlocked the car and got in. It felt a little different, but still good. The seats were a bit of a nicer material than my previous car, and there were a lot more amenities available in this one. But as I turned the car on, there was only one thing I cared about checking. Connecting my phone to the bluetooth, I opened up my playlist, and scrolled until I found the song I wanted. Subdivisions, by Rush started playing. It sounded amazing, the natural bass of the speakers pulsing out the low synths cleanly. I knew it was my car.

The salesman led us inside and took us to a small office. After a few minutes of talking, mom managed to get him to knock $8,000 off of the total, for a cash in hand price, as well as a few other 'strings' the salesman would be able to pull. Obviously it was all just sales bs and mom saw right through it.

After filling out all of the paperwork, he handed us the keys and I took them. Mom walked me back to the car and had me take a picture in front of it. I got inside and sat there for a moment. I remembered dad taking me for a long drive when I got my first car. I stepped out and talked to mom. "I think I wanna take it for a drive for a while. I'll meet you back home when I'm finished."

Mom nodded. "That's fine. Don't take too long though because I wanna see you before I go to work." I nodded and she walked towards where we had parked. I sat back down and turned the car on. The clock inside read 11:02. Mom usually left for work right around 2, meaning I could drive for just under 3 hours if I wanted.

I pulled out of the lot, and headed out. I drove around the city, something I never really did. I spent time just thinking about my life, what I might expect in the future, and dad. A lot about dad. Eventually I made a turn and started heading in the direction of home.

I made it back just after 1. Mom asked me how my drive went as I walked in the door. "It was good." I responded. "I just spent some time thinking." She nodded, and I think she knew I had been thinking about dad. "I think I'm gonna go lay down." I told her, and walked to my room.

I checked my phone and saw I had a few messages waiting for me. The first had come from Bella.

BP: Thanks for letting me stay the night with you. Hopefully we can do it again soon

She also sent a picture that she had apparently taken yesterday. It was of me laying down in bed with her after she first arrived. I was asleep still having her nipple in my mouth. She sent it along with a text saying "You looked so cute I had to capture the moment." She also sent another picture a few minutes later. In this one she held her phone down by her stomach. She was using her arms to hold her breasts together, and I could see her eyes poking over the tops of them. That made me chuckle. I sent her a heart and thanked her for the pics.

I checked my other messages and saw a text from Donny.

DI: Hey Henry told me about your accident. Rest up and I hope you feel better. Hopefully we'll see you at the gym on Wednesday

I responded, telling him thanks and I let him know I would be good to show up on Wednesday. Going back, I saw I had a message from Henry asking if I wanted him to take me to school tomorrow. I told him I had it figured out, though I didn't let him know that I had gotten a new car yet. I decided to keep that from the group, letting it be a nice surprise for Monday. The last text I had was from Annie.

A: Hey mom just showed me your new car. It looks good. I'm still wanting to talk if you're up for it

I called her and she picked up after a couple of rings. "Hey Richie. How's the car?"

"It's good. I was pretty upset yesterday, that's why I never called, sorry. I probably wouldn't have been much fun to talk to anyway." I said.

"Yeah I get that. I don't blame you for being upset. I know you probably had a lot of sentimental value in the last car." I hadn't really ever opened up to anyone about those memories of driving with dad until I told Bella. But Annie always had a way of knowing things even if I kept them to myself.

"Yeah." I said somberly. "I didn't even feel like talking to anyone yesterday."

"Well that's not what Bella told me." She said

I let out a scoff, and shook my head. "Bella. Oh that girl and her mouth."

Annie laughed. "Yeah, she told me she spent the day with you yesterday. I'm glad you had her to keep you company. Even if you didn't want to talk to anyone else it's still better to spend time with someone than to just stew in your depression."

"Yeah. I'm glad she came over. She's too good for me." I sighed.

"I don't think so. I mean you won her affection somehow, so clearly you're good to her too. You guys are good together, you don't need to be so down on yourself." Annie paused, I think to let me respond, but I didn't say anything. After a moment she spoke up again. "She may have also shown me a picture she took of you while visiting."

I groaned in frustration. "Why are you all like this?" I said, and Annie let out a laugh.

"Oh come on Rich, it was a sweet picture. You were like a wittle baby sucking on a wittle booby." She said in a baby voice. "Or well, I guess not so little." She laughed again, and I laughed too this time.

"I mean can you blame me? I can't resist those things when she offers them to me."

"Yeah. Makes me kinda sad I didn't get a taste before I left."

"Hey there's always the holidays. You never know." With all the poking and prodding Annie did into my love life, I knew she also really liked Bella, and if she wanted to try and have some fun with her, I didn't see it as that big of a problem. As long as both of them agreed to it.

"Oh you better believe I'm gonna be there for it." She chuckled. "Well it seems like you're doing okay now, which is good." She took a breath. "And I'm really sorry about your car. I'm sure it must have really hurt losing it. But it may have been for the best. I almost didn't wanna say this, but part of me was a little worried you might have run that car into the ground trying to keep the memories you had in it. I think it may have been better that it was out of your control."

I thought about that for a while, then sighed. "Maybe you're right. As much as I loved that car, and the memories I had in it with..." I took a breath, "with dad, I probably wouldn't have been able to let go if it wasn't taken."

"Well that's the thing Rich, you still have those memories. Even if you don't have the physical reminder of them anymore, you'll still have them." Annie told me sympathetically. "You know I lost my pen, when I left the dorms for summer."

"You did?" I asked.

"Yeah. Normally I would carry it everywhere, especially after the accident. But when I got home, I went through my stuff and I couldn't find it anywhere. I was crying that whole night. It took me two weeks to finally accept that it was gone. But even still, I had the memory of when dad gave it to me. And every time I had thought of him when I used it. But when I got back, I found it sitting on my desk. And I'm sorry that you won't be able to walk out one day and find your old car sitting out there, but you can still have those memories with it, and him."

"Yeah, I know." I said, but she could tell I didn't fully mean it.

"Look I'm not telling you to let go of anything, but maybe it's just time for something new. A new car with new memories."

I smiled. "Yeah." I thought of saying something more, but at that moment, another thought occurred to me. Something I really felt like I needed to do. "Hey listen, thanks for talking to me Annie but I actually have something I need to take care of. I'll talk to you later okay?"

"Sounds good Rich. Feel free to call me whenever you need to talk. Bye." She said.

"Bye." I ended the call. I looked at the time, and it was a quarter to 2. Mom would be leaving soon, which worked out for what I wanted to do. I scrolled through my contacts and found the number I was looking for. It rang for a few seconds before it got picked up. "Hey, I need a favor. Can you come over?"

There was a knock on my door at around 2:30. Mom had left for work and wouldn't be back for almost 12 hours. I went to the door and opened it. Standing on the porch was my uncle Oliver, looking at me with a nervous smile. "Hi Rich." He said. I stepped back and invited him inside. I motioned to the couch as I shut the door, and he took a seat. "So can I ask what this is about?"

I stood across from him on the other side of the coffee table. I took a moment to think about how I wanted to say this, as it was something that would be very unusual. After a moment I took a breath and told him, "Okay. I know this is gonna be really weird for you, but I've given this some thought and it's something I really need. So I'd really like it if you could just go with me for this okay?"

He looked a little unsure and turned his head. "Is everything okay Rich?" I took another breath and nodded.

"I'm fine. I just... I need you to be my dad. For like 10 minutes please. You don't need to say anything or do anything, just sit there and be my dad. Okay?" If you don't remember, Oliver and my dad were identical twins. Oliver looked like he wanted to object, but when he saw the look I had on my face he nodded.

"Okay." He said.

"Alright." I looked at him and tried to begin my thought. "I guess... fuck I'm sorry this is weird, give me just a second." He didn't say anything, he just sat there watching me. After a moment I took a breath and started. "Dad," I couldn't look him in the eyes to say that, "I know that you are the kind of person who would support me no matter what I chose to do. And I always tried to make the best choices in my life, so that you would be happy giving me that support. But right now I'm at a real crossroads.

"I know that the last time we talked you were trying to help me, and I wasn't really listening to you about it. And as much as I don't want it to be my final memory with you, that's what it ended up being. And I've been trying to fight off accepting it for a long time now, but the fact is that you're not here anymore. And I think it's time for me to accept it. I don't want to move on, and I never want to forget a single moment I ever had with you, and I never will. I just need to say goodbye. Because I never got a chance to. You were here one instant, and the next you weren't." My voice was breaking, and tears were beginning to form in my eyes.

"I miss you. Every day, I miss you so much. And I know that won't go away. But after my accident, and losing my car, I know now that no matter what happens in my life, I'll always have the memories, and in that way, you'll always be there with me." I looked at Oliver, and he had a look of empathy, as well as his own sadness in his eyes. "So the only thing left I need to do is say goodbye. So..." I took a breath, but couldn't get any more words out. I started to cry and I closed my eyes.

I heard Oliver stand up and walk over to me. He hugged me and we just stood there together for a moment. I pulled away from the hug, opening my eyes. "Thank you Oliver." He nodded.

"I miss him too. I know it's a stupid cliche twin thing, but I don't feel whole without him." I nodded. "I lost him twice. The first time was when... when I hurt your mother. I was such a naive asshole then. I fought with him, I blamed him for ruining things. God I was such a stupid kid back then." He shook his head. "I cut myself off from him. I barely spoke to him, and only ever saw him when I went home for the holidays.

"I made it worse when he told us that he was dating your mom. I called him a loser, said he was never going anywhere in life, told him he would never amount to anything worth a damn. After that I stopped talking to him altogether. And I didn't talk to him for years." He paused. "But then your sister was born. And he reached out, told me he wanted me to meet her. He never held what I said against me. Cause that's who he was. The best guy I ever knew. But even though he let me back into his life, I didn't stay. I couldn't.

"By that point I had realized how stupid I had been. How much I had messed up, and how badly I hurt your mother. I couldn't stand to face her. Even when I would visit I could never talk to her or look her in the eye. And because of that I couldn't be in your dad's life, not all the way at least."

I could see the amount of regret he held. "And I never had the guts to own up to who I was and what I had done. And then I got the news about the accident. And I..." he paused again and I could see him holding back tears.

"I hated myself more than I ever had, because I was too fucking cowardly and self righteous to just apologize. When I got the call from your mom, and she told me what happened, I still couldn't say anything to her. I wanted to end it all right then. I got to the point where I had a bottle of pills in my hand but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I wished more than anything that I could go back and tell myself to just grow a pair and apologize. But I can't, and now it's too late. I don't even feel like half of me is missing, I just feel empty."

I didn't know what to say. Part of me felt some obligation to dislike him, even if my mom had said that she didn't care what I thought of him. But he was still my uncle, and I still felt the love I had for him before I knew what he did. "It's not too late." I told him. "You can still apologize, and make things right. It won't bring dad back, but you could still ease your conscience a little."

He nodded. "I want to. But I'm still not ready."

"You may not ever be ready, but if you ever want to ease that feeling of regret, you'll have to face your guilt sometime."

"I know. And I will soon. I think... being your dad for a bit, and hearing you accepting his loss made me realize that I need to do it soon. I'll just need some time to compose myself for it. I don't even know what Natalie would say to me if she saw me now."

"I think she might thank you." He looked at me confused. "She talked to me after the last time we met, and it seemed like she moved on from it. I know she may have been pretending, but who knows? But she also said that without you, she never would have met dad, and Annie and I never would have been born."

He thought about it, and it seemed like the first time he had ever considered that. "So I guess in a weird way, I kind of owe you my life." I gave a little smile. "But don't try using that on me cause you still fucked up." We both laughed, and I saw him relax a bit.

"Thank you Rich. I know you asked me over here for your own reasons, but this really helped me too." He said. I only nodded in response. There was a bit of an awkward silence before he asked, "Have you taken that guitar out at all?"

"Yeah, a few times. I've been trying to teach myself how to play, thinking it might help me get a little closer with dad." He smiled.

"That's good. Have you learned any songs?"

"Nothing all the way, but I know most of Wish You Were Here, Free Fallin', and Knockin on Heaven's Door."

He nodded. "Those are good ones. Maybe uh," he hesitated, "maybe if you'd be okay seeing me again, I could teach you a couple I knew." I could see he was guardedly hopeful as he said this.

"Maybe. I'll be honest though this kind of took a lot out of me, I may go lay down."

"Oh yeah for sure, I get it. I'll get going. It was nice to see you Rich."

I nodded. "Thanks again for doing this. I really appreciate it." He smiled and nodded. I walked him to the door and let him out. As he was walking down the steps I called out, "I'll talk to you later Ollie." He turned and smiled when I called him that. He didn't say anything back and just continued walking as I shut the door.

When I was talking to him I realized that even though I now knew an unsavory truth about him, he was still my dad's brother. And I could see that he wasn't the same person who had done those things anymore. It would take some time, but I did want to have Oliver around in my life. That was one piece of my dad that I could control what happened to it.

I did end up taking a nap after Oliver left. I woke up around 5 to someone ringing the doorbell. When I opened the door I was surprised to see Carter standing on the porch. "Hey what's up?" I asked him.

"Well I was just coming by to see how you were doing. I haven't heard from you in a couple days. But uh, do you have someone here right now?" He asked, peeking around me into the house.

I shook my head. "No, why?"

"Oh, well whose car is that?"

"Mine."

He looked surprised. "Yours?" I nodded. "Like yours, as in you own it. Key in your pocket?" I nodded again. "Well what the hell man here I was worried you were like, I don't know freaking out about getting into an accident, and you're just here with a brand new car."

I rolled my eyes. "Well I mean I was feeling upset, but my mom bought it for me. So I don't have to worry about figuring that out at least."

"Yeah. It's really nice. I'm jealous." I laughed. "You break it in yet?"

"Yeah I took it for a long drive earlier."

He shook his head. "No man. Did you break it in?" He gave me a little nod and raised his eyebrows.

I scoffed. "No you fucker. I literally just got it. None of the girls even know I have it yet."

He laughed. "Alright. Well let's go take it for a spin. Grab some dinner or something." After my talk with Oliver and subsequent nap, I was in the mood to go out. Getting dinner seemed like a nice excuse.

"Alright, but you're buying." I said walking to my room to get my stuff.

Carter followed me in and shut the door. "Well there goes my plans of taking you to Blue Harbor and leaving you with the bill." I put on my shoes and grabbed my wallet, keys, and phone.

"Do you wanna invite anyone else?" I called out to him.

"Up to you. It's been a minute since just you and I hung out." I thought about it, and realized he was right. I hadn't hung out with just Carter since a few months before the accident.

"Alright yeah let's just do you and me." I said as I walked back to the front door. "But, I don't want any talk about the accident." I said pointing at him. "Either of them." I added

Carter held up three fingers together and put his other hand on his chest. "Scouts honor." We both laughed and headed out the door. I pushed a button on the key fob and my car unlocked.

"Oh it feels good to be able to do that." I said. The remote on my old key hadn't worked when I got it, and I never really bothered to replace it. Instead I always locked and unlocked my car by using the keyhole in the door. We jumped in the car and Carter started trying to connect to the stereo but I slapped his hand away.

"Come on dude." He grumbled but I shook my head.

"Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole." He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Did you seriously just quote Supernatural?" I quickly scrolled through my playlist, already knowing what song I wanted to put on. I answered his question by picking my song, and Carry on Wayward Son, by Kansas started playing. I smirked at him and backed out of the driveway.

We ended up going to Jonesy's. Carter practically demanded it after bringing up the fact that I went without him before. I was a little surprised when we arrived to see that there wasn't anyone else in the shop. It was dinner time and I expected the place to be packed. We walked in the door and there wasn't even anyone standing at the counter. We walked up to it, and I heard a voice yell, "Customer!" from the back. I smiled when I heard Sam call out, "I'm going" in response.

She looked tired as she walked around to the counter, but immediately lit up upon seeing us. "Oh hey guys. Why didn't you let me know you were coming?" She asked this and ran around to give me a hug.

"We hadn't really decided until we were already on hmmmm" I started but was cut off by Sam kissing me. When she released me I gave her a look and said, "Well hi there." We both laughed. "Anyway like I was saying we were taking the new car out and just decided to come by on the way."

Sam looked surprised. "You got a new car?" I nodded.

"Yeah, I had to. I got in a wreck the other night."

"What? Are you okay? What happened?" Sam's face turned to serious concern.

"I'll tell you about it in a bit."

"Well there goes 'no talk about the accident'." Carter said, chuckling. I shook my head and ignored him.

"Will you be able to sit down with us for a bit?" I asked Sam.

"I don't know. Place is kind of packed, might be hard for me to find time." She said sarcastically and walked behind the counter. "So what do you guys want?"

We placed our orders. Sam gave us half price and called it the 'friends and guys i'm fucking discount'. We filled up our drinks and sat down at a table near the counter. "So why's the place so dead Sam?" I asked

"Some new chain place opened up down the street. Everyone's been going there." She said as she worked on our food. "We've been averaging like 10 people a day now. It sucks, we're having to look at scaling down."

"Oh that's not good." I said.

"Nope. I'm hoping we can get some business back soon, because after all the part timers are gone, I'm first on the chopping block."

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Carter asked.

"Well unless you can bump our averages up by about $5000 per day then probably not." She sighed and started working on the second sandwich.

"Well now I wish you didn't give us that discount. I wouldn't have minded paying full price." He told her but she just shook her head.

"It's fine. Wouldn't really make a difference anyway."

"Well hopefully once the hype around the new place dies down you'll start getting more people back."

"Here's hoping." She said. She finished making our food and brought it out to us. She sat down at an empty seat beside me and took off her cap. "So what the hell happened? You were in an accident?"

I nodded and finished chewing on the bite I had taken of my sandwich. I explained to her everything that happened on Friday, including the tournament. She got very happy when she heard that Henry was reaching out and set the whole thing up. Then I explained the accident and everything that happened after. Carter listened too as I hadn't told anyone the full story yet. "Oh my god," Sam said, "that bitch hit your car then tried to get you to fuck her?" I laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, I couldn't believe it. Like that would've done anything anyway."

"You should've just done it. Could've fucked her and got a new car." Carter chimed in.

"Well I was a little more concerned with the accident, considering my previous trauma, and you know the fact that it's a fucking car wreck." I said.

"Sorry. Just trying to add some comedic relief." He said sheepishly before taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Well why didn't you tell me about this?" Sam asked.

"Because I wasn't really in the mood to talk. And also I didn't wanna worry you."

"And Rich hasn't given me your number yet so I couldn't text you." Carter added.

"Dude, you have a girlfriend, why do you need the number of someone I'm seeing?" I asked him.

"I have my reasons." He said. I rolled my eyes and took a bite of my food.

"Well I'm glad you're okay." Sam said. "But I do wish you would've told me what happened. I would've come to make sure you're okay."

"Don't take it too hard Sam." Carter said. "He literally only texted us when it happened and none of us heard from him after. I had to show up on his doorstep just to talk to him."

I felt bad for having kept my friends in the dark about everything, but with all of my emotional ties to the car I just didn't want to get into it with everyone. After my talk with Oliver I was a little more open to it, but I was planning to wait until we were all together so I didn't have to go over it more than I needed to.

"Yeah but I didn't even get told it happened. For all I know you could've been planning to never tell me." Sam looked really hurt that I hadn't let her know about the accident.

"I'm sorry, I really only let them know because it was gonna come up anyway because of school. I wasn't even hurt so I didn't plan on mentioning it to anyone else anyway." I told her.

"I still would've liked to know."

I nodded. "Can I do anything to make it up to you?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. Did you have something in mind?"

"You've got someone else here right?" I asked her.

"Yeah, why?" I grinned and stood up.

"Back in a minute Carter." He looked at me a little upset that I was leaving him, but continued eating his food. I grabbed Sam's arm and pulled her towards the bathrooms. She immediately realized what I had planned and started giggling. I pulled us into the women's restroom and locked the door behind us. I had thought of going into the men's but figured that it had a higher chance of smelling and could kill the mood.

We both removed our pants and I bent Sam over the sink counter. I pressed my finger into her pussy and felt that she was already wet. "What are you just always turned on or something?" I joked.

"When I'm around you I am." She said, giving me a wink. I played with her a little bit while I reached my full length, then I stepped up and slid into her. I began pounding her hard and she immediately began to get loud.

"I hope you don't mind," I said as I fucked her, "I'm gonna have to make this one a quickie so I don't keep Carter waiting long." She nodded her head and sucked in a breath.

"I figured. Probably mmmm, probably for the best since I'll have to get back to work soon." I continued my assault on her insides, hoping that the sound of her ass clapping against my thighs wouldn't be audible from outside. I pulled her shirt up and unsnapped her bra, grabbing a hold of her tits beneath her. I gave her nipples a pinch and she bit her lip through a moan that would've been quite loud otherwise.

"Hey, what would I have to do to get you to work the rest of your shift braless?".

She looked up at me in the mirror and gave me a wicked grin. "Ask." I smiled back at her and pulled on her nipples again, causing her to moan loudly. After a minute I pulled out and spun her over, lifting her up so she could sit on the counter. I slid back in and started pumping into her again. I leaned down and sucked on the skin of her breast and she scratched at my back. I pulled off of her after a moment, and observed my work. A small hickey was forming just above her left nipple.

She tapped me and pointed to her neck, signalling she wanted one there as well. I avoided going there first because I thought she might not want it to be visible, but clearly I was wrong. I gave her another one just below her ear this time, and she whispered in my ear. "I want people to know when we walk out." I had to admire how bold she was. But it definitely turned me on more.

She wrapped her arms around me and pulled herself up. She placed her lips on my neck and gave me a matching mark. The feeling of her holding me like that, while sucking on my neck, and obviously while having sex with her, drove me to the end. With a grunt I pushed in hard, sliding her back across the counter slightly, and filled her up.

I pulled out and let her climb off the counter. She gave me a kiss then began to pull her pants back on. I redressed as well, and considering I was about to go back out and eat, washed my hands. Sam fixed her shirt in the mirror, then picked her bra up off the counter, handing it to me. "Hold onto that for me will you?" I took it, and not knowing what else to do with it, I folded it up as best as I could and stuffed it into my back pocket. This was a little tough considering Sam had a rather large pair of tits.

She unlocked the door and walked out, me following behind her. Carter was still the only one in the restaurant. I walked next to Sam once there was room, and had a great view of her braless tits bouncing and jiggling in her shirt. We both sat back at the table. Looking at my phone I saw that we had only taken around 5 minutes but that was enough time for Carter to finish his food.

"Sorry about that." I said once we had rejoined him. I picked up my sandwich and began to eat once again.

"You really just left me here to go do that?" He asked.

"Dude, off the top of my head I can think of at least three times since you and Dani started dating that you've left me so you could go do it." He laughed and gave a pleased smile.

"Yeah. Good times." I shook my head dismissively and took another bite of my food. "So you feel all better now Sam?" He asked her. She gave a pleased grin that said it all. "Good. Well I'm glad that all worked out."

We chatted idly as I finished my food. Once I was done Carter and I got up, refilled our drinks, said our goodbyes to Sam, and left. Once we got back in my car he asked, "So you wanna go do something else?"

"I don't know man, I'm kinda beat now. Long day you know?" He chuckled as he put on his seatbelt.

"Yeah that and giving it to Sam in the bathroom. Also, total missed opportunity to break in the car dude."

"What is with you and car sex right now man? It's broad daylight, you think I'm gonna do that right now?" He just laughed at my reaction.

"Sorry man. I'll be honest, Dani and I had made plans for today, but since you weren't answering she told me I should come check on you." He told me.

"Oh so what you're saying is I cock blocked you and you visited me because your girlfriend told you to?" I said this in a half serious tone that Carter knew meant I was joking.

He just stared at me with a blank face for a moment before saying, "Yeah that's pretty much the gist of it." We both laughed and I started the car.

Carter and I said goodbye after arriving back at my house. Even though the weekend had been pretty rough for me, all in all I think I came out better in the end. I sat down on the couch and checked my phone. I saw that Sam had messaged me a little bit after we had left. When I responded she immediately texted back, probably bored out of her mind with no customers

SR: You still have that bra?

RF: Yeah

SR: Good. I was worried Carter might've tried to snatch it from you at some point

RF: I don't think he knew I had it

SR: He definitely knew it was gone. That boy could not keep his eyes off of me

RF: Can you blame him?

SR: Not really. When you're as hot as I am it kind of comes as part of the deal

RF: So what do you want me to do with this thing?

SR: Whatever your heart desires

RF: Yeah that doesn't help. I'm like Henry where I fall into the category of guys who don't know what to do with women's clothing except take it off

SR: Well what else would you wanna do with it besides that?

RF: Idk. Use it to slingshot grapefruits?

SR: Yeah maybe I should get that back from you then. Those things are expensive anyway.

SR: If you really don't wanna do anything with it then that's fine. I just know some guys I hooked up with before liked stealing my underwear after so I figured it was a guy thing

RF: I mean I appreciate the thought. But I don't quite have the honkers to fit this thing

SR: Did you just use the word honkers?

RF: Oh yeah. I've got all sorts of silly words for boobs

SR: I'll have to get a list sometime

RF: I'll have a laminate waiting for you next time you come over

SR: Lol. Alright well my manager just told me we're closing early tonight so I gotta start working on that. I'll talk to you later okay?

RF: Sounds good. Bye Sam

SR: Bye

I pulled the bra out of my back pocket and unfolded it. I did have to admit that having a girl wanting me to have her bra did turn me on a little bit, but I still didn't know what other appeal there was. But that didn't change the fact that I had the bra in my possession at the moment. I found the tag and the size that it showed was 34DDD.

Like I told Sam, my knowledge with bras was pretty much exclusively limited to taking them off, and getting mad at my sister for leaving hers all over the place. But I did know that D was when you started to be considered bigger than average. So three of them had to mean you were a lot bigger than average. And that knowledge turned me on more than just having the thing in my hand did.

As much as I would have liked to give myself time to enjoy that knowledge, I was already pretty tired, and had to be up for school in the morning. So I placed the bra in my sock drawer for safe keeping, and got myself ready for bed.

I'll be honest. When I showed up to school on Monday in my brand new car, I felt like a bit of a big shot. Not that anyone paid any attention to me. There were kids who had shown up with nicer cars than I had before, so mine wasn't worth any fuss. But that didn't stop me from having my movie moment when I got out of the car and swung my backpack over my shoulder.

My friends were all very happy to see me, and when I showed them my car after school let out they were all very impressed. I think I saw Henry sulk a little when he realized he no longer had a nicer car than I did.

The word about the accident had spread quickly around the school. Apparently when Amy, the girl who hit me, had told her friends, they sent it down the gossip train and pretty soon most of everyone had heard about it.

That actually had me a little worried, because when you've got that many people telling the story to each other, you end up with the world's worst game of telephone. For all I knew people would be saying that I set her up and was running an insurance scam. I mean after all, what are the chances that I would get into two car accidents that weren't my fault in the same year?

At one point during the week one of Amy's friends, another girl named Evie, approached me angrily asking why I had gotten her in trouble with the cops. I told her that I was just doing what I was supposed to do when you're in a car accident, but she just called me an asshole and stormed off.

I didn't like that I suddenly had a lot of attention again. At the very least last time everyone had been sympathetic, but now that people were starting to blame me for Amy's stupidity, I just wanted to turn invisible. There were a few people I talked to who knew the whole situation and said I didn't do anything wrong, but when faced with the masses, the words of the few do little in support.

By Friday I was completely worn by all of it. I had come to school wearing a hoodie and spent as much time as I could with the hood pulled up. Considering it was still late August I was running pretty warm in it, but it still made me feel a little more comfortable.

When I finally made it to English, which was my last class of the day, I just wanted to go home and lay down for the entire weekend. We had some more free time at the end of class and I spent it with my hood up, head down, and earbuds in. I was listening to Paranoid, by Black Sabbath when I felt a hand on my back. I looked up and saw Bella motioning for me to take out my earbuds. "The bell rang Rich, let's go." She told me.

I nodded and stood up, putting my backpack on. As we made our way to the door, Ms. Isaacs called my name. "Rich." I turned my head towards her. "Can I speak to you for a moment?" I looked at Bella and she told me that she would wait outside for me. Ms. Isaacs pulled a chair up to her desk for me as the rest of the class exited. When the door finally shut I sat down across from her.

"Are you doing okay?" She asked me. I shrugged. She gave a small nod and took a breath. "I heard about what happened. Obviously because it was students involved in the incident the school was made aware, and the teachers of said students were told what happened." My eyes dropped as she spoke.

"I've also heard some of the talk between the students, and I know some of the things that are being said about you. It's put me in a bit of a rough situation, because I want to be able to put a stop to some of the lies being spread, but I'm not really allowed to discuss it with students who weren't involved.

"I've been on the receiving end of some nasty rumors myself, and I know what that can do to your mental health. I don't know if you have someone you talk to for things like that, but if you don't and you feel that you're starting to decline, there's no shame in seeking help. I know that therapy can get a bad rap, but if you're open to it I know from personal experience that it's very helpful."

I nodded. "Yeah I know. My mom talked to me about it after my dad passed away, but I never actually saw anyone. My friends have been really helpful when I've needed help though."

She smiled. "That's great. Having some good friends around you is always a big help. But if you ever find that it's not enough don't be afraid to meet with someone about it." She took another deep breath. "The school has suggested that if I see students struggling that I recommend they go see the school counselors, but between you and me I know that they can't do anything." I let out a small chuckle.

"Yeah, when they say they're counselors, what they really mean is they'll tell you to just try and ignore it and hope for the best. So professionally I'll say if you need help go see the school counselors," she shook her head as she said this which made me laugh again, "but personally, not as your teacher, just as Olivia, keep an eye on yourself and don't be afraid to reach out.

"If you ever need to, you can just let me know and I'll be happy to talk with you. Though I do need to warn you that I'll still hold a professional obligation to let the school know if you tell me you're thinking of harming yourself or another student."

I nodded understandingly. "Thank you Ms. Isaacs. I'll let you know if I need anything."

She gave me another smile. "Happy to help Rich. Now you probably don't wanna keep Bella waiting on you any longer." I got up and headed out the door. Bella was leaning against the wall outside of the door. She started walking with me as I headed towards the parking lot.

"What did she want to talk to you about?" Bella asked.

"She heard about everything going on and just wanted to ask if I was holding up okay." I told her.

"Oh, that's nice. I kind of figured it would be something about that." She took a moment to think about something. "So, are you doing okay Rich?"

I sighed, and gave her my real answer. "I mean I won't pretend that some of what's being said hasn't gotten to me. But I'm doing my best to try and ignore it." I looked down at her. "Plus I've got some pretty great friends to help me out." She smiled at me.

"Yeah we're the best."

"No I meant my other friends that I spend all my time with. Why'd you think I meant you guys?" I joked and she bumped herself against me.

"Dick." She called me that but laughed. We walked in silence for a moment and I reached down to take her hand. She held mine and squeezed it lightly. "Well, in other news," she said and I looked back at her, "I started my period today."

"Ew gross. Why would you... wait. So that means?" She nodded.

"Yep. In a few days I'll be all ready for you to give me all of those big hot loads inside me." I felt my cock begin to harden at the thought. Bella knew exactly what she was doing and I saw her smiling to herself. "Well normally I'd probably take you somewhere and take care of you, but I feel really unsexy when I'm on my period so I don't know if I'd be in the mood. Sorry." I nodded understandingly.

"That's okay. I'm sure I'll manage. Unrelated but what's Caity up to right now?" We both laughed.

"Well I actually don't know. We're still doing our separate things right now, remember?" I had actually forgotten about that. Even though they still hung out when we were at lunch, that was just because all of us were there anyway. But besides that the two of them had been spending time finding things to do without each other.

"Oh yeah. How's that going?" I asked her.

"It's good. I had a little trouble finding things to do at first, but I met a couple girls in one of my classes and we've been talking and even hung out. We went out to the mall and did some shopping the other day."

"Wow. Real generic girl stuff there huh? Almost like you had to think of what normal girls do and shopping was all you could come up with." She laughed. "Well that's still great Bella. I'm proud of you guys for trying this out."

"Yeah I'm glad we did. But I'll admit I kind of miss spending time with Caity."

"Well you did say that this may be temporary going into it right? So maybe you can talk to her about doing something again. Wouldn't have to be a lot, but maybe just once or twice a week the two of you could hang out again." She nodded as she thought about this.

"Yeah maybe. But I don't know how she's been doing with all of this so she may not want to."

I shook my head at this. "She's still your best friend. There's no way that she wouldn't want to spend time with you. But if you want I can talk to her and see how she might feel about it."

"If you don't mind, that would be really helpful."

"Of course. You've been so helpful to me recently, it's the least I could do." I smiled at her.

I walked Bella to her car and gave her a kiss goodbye. After that I drove home and knocked out my homework. Or at least I tried to. After spending 5 minutes staring at the same question without being able to comprehend what was being asked, I decided that my mind was too preoccupied to focus on homework.

I realized that I needed to talk to someone about what had been going on. Someone who would hear what had happened and be able to give me some suggestions on what to do without trying to protect my feelings. Someone who had experience in the realm of the modern day high school girl.

If you guessed that I was talking about Annie, you are correct. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. She picked up after a few rings, and I could hear that she was with at least a couple of other people. "Hey Rich, what's going on?"

"Hey Annie, so I had something I kind of wanted to talk to you about but I can hear you've got some people with you right now, so I guess-"

She cut me off. "No, that's just my roommate and her friends, they're getting ready to go to a party. They won't be here too long, I can talk. So what's up?"

"Well, when I went back to school on Monday, everyone had heard about the accident."

"Naturally."

"Yeah. And... well you know how these things go. By the time it reached the masses the story had been misheard and told wrong in every way imaginable. But now a lot of the kids are saying that I was in the wrong for getting the girl who hit my car in trouble. Her friends have even come up to me and told me I was an asshole and things like that."

"Oh I'm sorry Rich, that really sucks."

I was about to keep going but then I heard a voice on the other end of the line say, "What's going on?"

Annie tried to dismiss them and let us talk on our own. "Oh don't worry about it, it's just my brother dealing with some drama from some high school bitches."

"Oh that's the worst. High school drama is such a pain in the ass." I heard the voice say. "What happened?"

"I don't think he wants to talk about it with someone he doesn't know, sorry."

I realized that having other girls who might have similar insight like my sister may actually help me figure out something faster. "Actually Annie, I don't mind. I can tell them if you want."

"Are you sure Rich?"

"Yeah, it's fine."

Annie put the phone on speaker, and I heard her friends all greet me and ask what happened. I explained the whole situation, starting from the wreck, and going into all of the things I had dealt with during the week. To my surprise they actually listened intently, and didn't really interrupt me while I spoke. "So this Amy girl got wasted, rear ended your car, got herself arrested, and now all of her friends are blaming you for it?" One of them asked.

"Yeah."

"God, high school girls are so stupid."

"That was literally you two years ago Kenzie." I heard another girl say.

"Yeah, but I'm two years more experienced now. And that experience has made me come to realize that high school girls are all stupid."

They all laughed and when it started to die down I said, "So now everyone's heard different things about what happened and a lot of them are blaming me and saying that I got her arrested."

"What a bunch of little shitheads. You need to go up to Amy and tell her little stupid self to buy you a new car, and to stop lying and making you look like the bad guy."

I was about to correct her and say I already had a new car, but Annie jumped in for me. "God shut up Kenzie." She was laughing. "Sorry Rich she's a little uh, extra sometimes. But realistically, there's not a lot you can actually do about that unfortunately." I sighed.

"I mean you can try all you like to set the story straight, but now that the word's spread across the school, you won't have much luck trying to stop it. I think the best thing for you to do right now would be to just try and get your mind off of it. These things tend to die down pretty quickly and by next month it will barely be a thought at the back of anyone's mind."

"I guess. I just wish that I didn't have to deal with all of it right now."

"I know, and I'm sorry. But if I'm being honest, if you tried to do anything about it, there's a good chance you might end up making yourself look worse anyway. I would just do your best to keep your head down and let it all blow over. And as far as getting your mind off of things, just spend time with one of your little girlfriends this weekend."

"Your brother has more than one girlfriend?"

"No I don't." I tried to jump in, but I was ignored.

"Yeah, he's seeing like 5 girls at once right now."

"Wow, what a little stud. So what does he have like a huge dick or something?"

"Kenzie!"

"I mean how else would a guy get 5 girls at once like that?"

I just sat silently and hoped that they would get off of this subject soon. That didn't end up being the case however.

"No, he's not huge. Just a little over average I think." I heard Annie say.

"Whoa, how do you know that?"

"I walked in on him playing with it over summer."

"ANNIE!" I screamed, and heard the girls all laugh. "God you're the worst."

"Aww don't say that. You know you love me Richie."

"I'm hanging up now. Thanks for the advice, and also for ruining my night."

"I'm sorry Richie." She called out mockingly. I ended the call and sighed to myself. Annie was probably right, trying to tell everyone what really happened would probably only make things worse. I would just have to wait it out and hope nothing too bad happened along the way.

I had joked about it earlier, but realized it had been some time since Caity and I spent some time together one on one. I texted her, asking if she wanted to come over, and she said she would.

"So how are things going now that you're spending time without Bella?" I asked her. We had put on a movie and were currently on the couch watching it.

"It's been alright. Kinda tough honestly, I haven't really had a lot of luck trying to meet new people. Apparently I can be kind of intense when you first meet me." We both laughed at that. "But on the plus side, now that I have some time to myself, and I'm cherry free I've been able to have some fun."

"Oh yeah? I thought I saw you walking a little wonky yesterday. So what are you like 10% of the way through the senior class? 20?" She hit me on the arm.

"Shut up dude, it's not like I'm on my back every second I'm out of school. I just reached out to a couple of exes and we met up. I don't have the luxury of having someone different on my arm every day, but I do have needs."

I nodded understandingly. "Sorry if I haven't really made time for you since we did it."

Caity shook her head. "No, don't worry about that. I'm happy that you were my first, but I also understand that you've got a lot going on. I'm not jealous of the other girls getting more attention, but I'm also not limiting myself to just seeing you. No offense or anything."

"No, I totally get it. I'm happy you know what you want. But, that doesn't mean we're not ever going to do something again right?"

"Oh hell no. If I ever need some dick, believe me you'll be the first person I call if no one else says yes." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Have you thought about whether you and Bella will start hanging out again any time soon?" I asked her.

"A little. As much as I enjoy getting to spend some time catching up on all the sex I've missed out on, I do miss spending time with her. She's my only real girl friend and there are some things that we can do or talk about that you just can't do with guys." I could tell that she was missing Bella a lot more than she let on.

"Well maybe you guys can ease back on the experiment a bit." She looked at me puzzled. "You don't have to completely stop, I mean from what it sounds like you're getting to enjoy yourself, and Bella told me she is too. But you also both said that you miss spending time together. So maybe the two of you could start hanging out again. Not all the time like before, but just on a normal, regular basis like most people do."

"I would really like that. But even if Bella misses me too, what if she's not ready to come back?"

"Caity, trust me, she wants it. You two will always have a place for each other in your lives. You did the right thing by spending a little time apart, but that doesn't mean you should stop hanging out entirely. Just a little less from now on."

Her face told me she agreed with what I said. "No more twins?" She asked.

"No more twins is why you're feeling this way right now Caity. This won't be no more twins, just less twins than before."

"Thanks Rich. I'll talk to her about it soon."

"Good."

"So what about you? How are you feeling about everything?"

I shook my head. "I don't really wanna talk about it right now, Caity. I'm trying to get my mind off of all of that right now."

"No worries. But if you ever wanna talk let me know. I'll be 'Serious Caity' if you do. Promise." I chuckled and thanked her. I took a moment and focused on the movie, until I felt Caity lean over and start unbuttoning my pants. I looked at her and she just smirked. "What? All the sex talk before got me kinda horny."

"You won't hear any complaints from me." I helped her by taking off my pants and pulling down my underwear. Caity pulled me into her mouth and quickly got me hard. She took off her jeans and panties and got on her hands and knees on the couch. Getting behind her, I slid in and began thrusting.

Being honest, I probably wasn't in the best mindset for having sex. My mind immediately went elsewhere, completely taken over by the things I'd heard people saying about me throughout the week. Normally I can brush off most things that get said to or about me, but with the amount of people saying these things, it definitely managed to get to me.

It wasn't fair to Caity. Normally I would be putting all of my focus on pleasing the girl I was with, but within two minutes of us actually starting I could've been in line at the DMV for all I knew. My eyes wandered the room, my ears tuned out the sound of her moans, and I barely felt the pleasure of our two most sensitive areas sliding against each other. I hadn't realized how distracted I was until I heard, "Are you just focusing on the movie instead of having sex with me?"

My senses seemed to flood back to me all at once. I sighed and fell back, sitting on my feet. "I'm sorry Caity. I'm just overwhelmed by this whole week. I promise it isn't anything you did." I ran a hand through my hair and adjusted so that I could stretch my legs out.

"It's alright dude. I know you've got a lot on your plate now, especially with all of those assholes spreading lies about you." Caity turned so she was facing me and leaned against the arm of the couch. "I was a little surprised you even invited me over if I'm being honest. I kinda figured after everything you would've just gone radio silence for the weekend. Don't think anyone would have blamed you for that."

I looked up at her. "So you're not mad?"

"I mean I'm a little disappointed. Kinda blue balling me here. Or whatever the female equivalent of blue balling is. But I understand."

"Well, I may not be in the right headspace, but I am still hard. You're welcome to use me if you want."

Caity smiled and crawled over to me. "Sounds like a plan. You watch your movie, and I'll get us off."

While it may not have made for a great sexual experience, having my mind so occupied did end up helping out some. I wasn't exactly timing myself or anything but I did notice that I lasted a hell of a lot longer than I usually did before I finally came. Caity managed to get herself to climax after around 10 minutes, and afterwards she tried to finish me off just by blowing me. But even after a while of this I still hadn't finished. Caity only stopped because her jaw was hurting, which she said had never happened to her before.

In the end she ended up just sitting in my lap with my dick inside of her, just slowly grinding on top of me as we both sat there watching movies. It was a little funny in retrospect but I honestly thought it was a nice experience. Eventually I felt it building and let Caity know. After a joke about it taking forever she let me know I could do it inside her. I didn't know but apparently Caity had been on birth control since she was 16, even though she hadn't had sex until her time with Bella and me.

Caity ended up leaving around 9. We hadn't eaten as we were both a little preoccupied, and since I wasn't exactly craving eggs I went out. I would really have to talk to mom about teaching me how to cook at some point.

I went to a local fried chicken place and ate there. I had been trying to avoid having fast food since I started slimming down, but with how late it was I didn't think any sit down places would be open for much longer. At least ones I could afford. So I settled on greasy chicken as it was still better than some of the alternatives.

The place was pretty slow considering the hour I had arrived at, but there were a few other late diners there with me. I went up to the counter to place my order, and was met by a familiar face that I couldn't quite remember where I had seen it before. I told the girl my order and after paying I decided to ask, "Have we met before? Because I feel like I recognize you from somewhere."

She thought for a moment but shook her head. "No, I don't think we've met, but you do seem familiar. What's your name?"

"I'm Rich."

"Oh you're the guy who got in the accident."

I sighed expecting to hear some new version of the story from her. "Yeah. That's me."

"Damn, I'm sorry about that. Can't imagine losing your dad that way." With all the hubbub about the incident last weekend, I had almost completely forgotten that people would also probably know me because of my first accident.

"It's past now at this point. To be honest I thought you were gonna bring up the other accident."

"Oh yeah, no that one I don't really care too much about. Amy's always been a troublemaker and honestly a little punishment would do her some good. Oh also I'm Lilly by the way."

"Oh, that's where I know you from. You were in Henry's tournament."

She nodded. "Yeah, that was me."

"So are you looking forward to your date?" She made a face when I brought it up that immediately told me the answer was no. Before she could give her answer though I said, "You don't wanna go do you?"

"No, not really. I mean he seems like a nice enough guy but, I don't know."

"Then why did you say yes?"

"I felt bad. He was really nervous talking to me and when he asked me I just couldn't bring myself to say no."

"As much as I want to just say something like 'what's the harm in going' I care too much about Henry for that." I thought for a moment. "You guys close soon right?" She nodded. "If I stick around can I talk to you about it?"

She thought for a moment but reluctantly agreed. I ate my food then once I was finished I went out and hopped on the hood of my car, leaning my back on the windshield. I played on my phone and sipped my drink until Lilly walked out.

"You want a refill for that before we shut off the machine for the night?" She called out from the door, but I shook my head. She walked over towards me and stood in front of my car.

"Don't you need to help them finish?" I asked her.

"No, I told them you were my ride and you had to get home soon. So, can I get a ride?"

I sighed and slid off of the hood. I held out my cup to her. "Maybe I'll take that refill after all." She smirked and grabbed my cup from me.

"What did you have?"

"Sprite."

She walked back inside to get my drink, and I went ahead and got into my car and started it. I picked a song to listen to, Wanted Dead or Alive, by Bon Jovi, and waited for her to return. When she got back she sat in the passenger seat and set the drink in my cup holder. She gave me her address, and after putting it into the gps we left. "So, what exactly do you not like about Henry?" I asked.

"It's not that I don't like him, I just don't really do dates or anything like that."

"So if he didn't ask you out on a date, and just asked to start dating, like boyfriend, girlfriend, would you have said yes?"

She thought for a moment. "I mean maybe. I might've asked to just get to know him a little before deciding."

"That's fair." I took a breath. "Look, I'm gonna tell you something but I don't want you thinking I'm just telling you this to make you change your mind, because I'm not. And also regardless of what happens, you don't tell anyone I told you this."

"Well that's not ominous at all." She joked.

"In his freshman year Henry went to a different school. And while he was there he asked this girl out, and she laughed in his face. Then she started telling people around the school about it, and it led to him getting made fun of, and eventually bullied for the rest of the year."

"Oh my god, that's horrible."

I nodded. "It broke him. For the last two years he hasn't been able to approach anyone about anything, or able to make basic conversation with someone he doesn't know. The only reason that he and I are friends is because I saw him alone on his first day and wanted to help. My friends and I are the only people he's talked to since he changed schools. But then recently someone I know started helping him. She basically taught him how to speak to other people from scratch. And a little bit after that is when he decided to host the tournament. He did the whole thing just to try putting himself out there."

"Quite a big jump from not talking to anyone from that."

"Yeah. I think he was ready to try improving himself but just needed a little push to get started. But all of that doesn't really matter because he ended that night by asking you out. I honestly didn't think he would ever have the confidence to do that again. And like I said I'm not telling you this to make you change your mind, it's just to let you know how important this was to Henry. So even if you decide you don't want to go out with him, at least give him the courtesy of telling him why."

She went silent for a bit after I had told her all of this. "Well like I said before I don't really like going out on dates. But I do think that I kind of have a little something for Henry." She smiled to herself. "I think it was just the way he looked like he was having the time of his life doing what he loved. It caught my attention. So maybe I could try stepping out of my comfort zone a bit since he really stepped out of his for me."

"I think he'd really appreciate that. And in the worst case you spend one evening with him, you two don't match up as well as you thought, you tell him thanks but it's not for you, and that's that."

"I think I can manage that."

I thought about something then that might've made things even easier for the both of them. "You know, you might reach out to him and ask if he'd rather just spend time hanging out then going on a date. Knowing him he may be more comfortable if he's in his element."

She pondered that for a moment. "So you mean I should ask him if he just wants to play games with me instead of going out?" I nodded. "And you think he'd be okay with that?"

"Yeah. Trust me, that's Henry's happy place. You won't meet the real Henry until you're five games into smash with him." I chuckled. By this point we had reached her house, and I parked in front of it. "Whatever you decide, just talk to him about it. That's all I ask of you."

She nodded slightly and opened the car door. "Thanks for the ride." She stepped out and walked towards her door. I sighed to myself, really hoping that she would talk to him. I don't know what would happen to him if he were to go through a rejection like that again.

The next morning I had a text from Henry saying that Lilly had asked him to just hang out and game with him instead of going out on a date. I smiled when I saw it, happy that she took my advice. I texted him back saying that I was happy for him and that he could let me know if he needed any help.

We talked a little more about it while at the gym and I could tell he was very excited. I was happy for him, Lilly seemed like a nice girl and I hoped they would get along. I wasn't fully in the mood to do anything with Lucy after our workout, and she was very understanding. When I dropped her off she gave me a kiss and told me she hoped I felt better.

When I got home from the gym I was still trying to find different ways to take my mind off of things, and that day I decided I would spend some real time practicing the guitar. I had put in a little effort every few days or so to take it out and play one or two songs, but today I really wanted to see how much I could do.

My fingers were now topped with calluses that helped me be able to play for longer. I played a few chords to check the guitar's tuning when I took it out of the case, and then pulled up a new chart that I wanted to learn. Hallelujah, by Leonard Cohen. I didn't quite have the bass voice that he did, but I figured as long as I could play the right chords, my octave wouldn't matter if I eventually tried to sing over it.

I spent around 3 hours playing before my fingers started hurting too much to continue. In that time I had managed to learn the song well enough that the last time I played through it I managed to do it without looking at the guide. Feeling satisfied with that I put the guitar away and resolved to continue working on it when my fingers recovered.

The rest of the day I spent doing various different things around the house. I cleaned up my room, did laundry, and even managed to make it through my homework. Around the time I finished folding up all of my clothes and putting them away I got a text notification.

When I checked my phone I saw that it was from Annie.

A: Hey, how are you doing?

RF: I'm alright. Managed to take care of some stuff around the house today

A: That's good. Maybe tomorrow you could go hang out with some of your friends though

A: It's not good to stay inside all weekend

RF: I hung out with Caity for a bit yesterday

A: Where?

RF: The house

A: Okay, well hanging out with Caity is fine, but tomorrow try and hang out outside the house

RF: Why does it have to be outside? It's scary out there

A: You're a big boy. You can handle the outdoors. Fresh air and sunlight will help you feel better

RF: Fine. Maybe I'll go swim somewhere, enjoy the sun before it starts to cool down

A: That's perfect. You should see if Bella is up for hosting a little pool party

RF: I'll see

A: Let me know if you do. I'm gonna text you tomorrow to make sure you're not at home all day

RF: Okay. I'll talk to you later

A: Bye

I texted Bella to see how she would feel about having a pool party, and she seemed excited about it. We let the group know and they all said they would be there.

So the next day, around 2 in the afternoon I found myself over at Bella's house hanging out with everyone in her pool. The pool had a volleyball net set up over it so we spent time playing that, as well as just hanging out and messing around in the water. Bella's dad even fired up the grill and made us all burgers for lunch.

A couple of hours in I was taking a little break and laying out on a lounge chair. I had my eyes closed behind my sunglasses and was just basking in the warmth. I heard someone climb out of the pool and walk over to the chair beside me. I opened my eyes and saw Lucy standing by the chair and toweling herself off. I had hoped I could be subtle and watch her from behind my glasses but by now all of the girls had a kind of intuition about me.

Lucy gave me a smile and put the towel down onto the chair. She folded it all the way down and then reached into her pool bag, grabbing a bottle of suntan lotion out of it. She laid down on top of the towel and got settled before holding the bottle out to me. "Put this on me." Not even asking. Not that she needed to; I was about to offer to do it anyway.

I stood up and took the bottle from her. When I did she reached behind her and untied her bikini straps. I immediately began to grow hard in my swimsuit, and had to subtly adjust myself. I poured a few lines of the lotion onto her back and began to rub it in. Her skin was already warm from the sun and incredibly soft. She sighed and also began to let out a low pur as she felt my hands moving across her back.

She knew exactly what she was doing to me. Her head was turned to the side that I was standing on, and her eyes watched me work. I could see her watching me begin to slowly tent out in my shorts and she giggled to herself. Deciding to have a little fun myself, I grabbed the bottle again, and poured some more lotion into my hand. I rubbed them together and put my leg onto the chair. I swung the other one over her and straddled over her legs, then began to massage her sides, starting low by her waist, and slowly making my way up.

My hands grazed the sides of her breasts, which had been squished out on either side of her torso, sandwiched between her and the chair. I glanced around, seeing the rest of my friends currently distracted with a game of volleyball, and no sign of Bella's dad. I began to 'apply lotion' to her breasts, making sure to cover all of the exposed skin thoroughly. The entire time Lucy just continued her low purring, and occasionally wiggled her butt against my crotch, which she could feel pressing against her.

I jumped slightly at the sound of someone else climbing out of the pool. I looked up and saw Carter giving me a little smirk as he went to grab his towel, but he said nothing. After he dried himself a bit, he took the chair that I had been using before and just watched as I, not so subtly anymore, played with Lucy's tits.

After a minute I decided to move on and stepped off of the chair again. After taking a second to quickly adjust my now incredibly hard boner, I poured a little more lotion into my hands and began to cover her legs. I once again started low, rubbing her ankles, and up her calves. I took a moment and got her feet, giving her a little tickle when I did which made her laugh cutely. Then I continued my way up, going towards her thighs and up to her butt.

I adjusted her bottoms a bit, pulling them up, and began to rub the lotion on her. I took the opportunity to squeeze and play with her cheeks and she let out a low moan. I glanced at Carter and saw him smirking at me. Looking up I saw the others still splashing around in the water, and decided to really start teasing Lucy.

I slipped my thumb under her bottoms and pressed it against her pussy. She tensed in surprise, letting out an audible whimper. She did nothing to object though, and I could feel she was wet already. She adjusted her legs slightly, giving me easier access. I looked up and saw she was burying her face into her arms. When I did I also saw that the others had stopped what they were doing and now looked up at Lucy and me.

Feeling a little embarrassed I pulled my thumb back, and I heard Lucy let out a disappointed whimper. She turned her head to me and asked, "Why'd you stop?" I pointed to the audience in the pool, and when Lucy turned to look at them they started teasing her with ooos, kissing sounds, and asking how she was feeling. Lucy's face flushed red, but she still gave a smile and laughed at them. "Let me get some of that!" Caity yelled up at us and started laughing.

I was opening my mouth to say something back to her when the back door swung open and Bella's dad poked his head out. "Hey Rich, can you come here for a second?" He called to me from the door. Unsure, and a little nervous I walked over and followed him as he stepped back inside. "Your phone was ringing in here and it seems like someone really wants to talk to you. It went off probably 3 times or so from the same number. Thought it might be important and I just wanted to let you know." I thanked him and went to where I had set my phone down.

I looked and saw I had indeed missed multiple calls and had a couple of voicemails waiting for me. I listened to them and found that it was from one of the police officers handling my accident case, and they were asking me to reach out to them as soon as I could. I called the number back and felt a little anxious as the phone rang. When it went to the receptionist, I told them my name and the officer who had been calling me and I was transferred over.

"Hello this is Officer Reynolds speaking."

"Hi this is Richard Flynn, I'm returning your calls I missed."

"Oh yes, hello Mr Flynn, so the reason I was calling you is because I wanted to let you know that Ms. Gordon's arraignment hearing was held this morning and she pled guilty to her charges. So we shouldn't need to reach out to you anymore regarding this case."

I let out a sigh of relief. "That's good to know thank you. I was a little worried when you called multiple times, I thought something might've happened."

"Oh I apologize about that. I know you're currently still in school and I just wanted to try and reach you to give you the news so you wouldn't be stressed about it. I've got a couple of boys myself and know that school can be stressful enough already."

"Thank you Officer. I am relieved to hear it. So since she pled guilty then that's it?"

"As far as you're concerned in the matter, yes. You won't be needed for any more of the case."

"That's good. Thank you sir."

"You're welcome. Have a nice day."

"You too." I hung up the call and gave another sigh of relief. I hoped now that everything with that side was over, that I wouldn't need to worry about everything on the school side. I texted mom and Annie the news and went back out to enjoy the rest of the day with my friends.

I ended up leaving Bella's around 6. I was driving Lucy home and we were both very worn out. "Sorry about earlier." I said to her.

She looked at me confused for a moment before I saw the realization hit her. "Oh, you don't need to worry about that. I was teasing you so you teased me. It's only fair." She smiled.

"Yeah. I couldn't exactly help myself when you looked so good in your bikini." She giggled at that.

"Yeah, I'm pretty hot. It's only natural." She joked and we shared a laugh. "I just wish we didn't have to stop."

"Well I'm not really the type of guy who likes doing it with an audience."

"Me neither." She sighed. "But having sex in a pool is something I've always wanted to try."

I groaned internally at the thought. "Oh we'll definitely have to try that at some point."

She looked at me. "Oh yeah? You like that kind of thing?" I nodded. "Well maybe we can talk to Bella about finding some private time in the pool."

"That is something we definitely need to do." Lucy laughed at my response.

"It'll be nice doing it without these things weighing on my chest the whole time." She grabbed her boobs and lifted them slightly as she said this.

"Hey if they're too heavy I'll hold onto them for you as long as you like."

"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you?" She asked teasingly. "Well I'm really happy we got to see you. I know you weren't doing too well with all of the nonsense going on at school, and I think everyone would've understood if you wanted to take a little time to yourself."

"Actually having time to myself probably would've made things worse. I was getting buried in my own thoughts and really needed something to take my mind off of them for a while. And feeling you up by the pool really seemed to do the trick."

She smiled and rolled her eyes. "Well if that's all you need just call me next time. I'll let you play with them all you like if it helps you feel better."

"Well I may ask for a little more too if you're willing to go that far."

"We'll see. And normally today I'd probably offer to do something with you but I'm worn out so we'll have to wait until next time sorry."

I shook my head. "No worries, I'm pretty tired too. I may end up going to bed pretty early anyway." We pulled up in front of her house and she gave me a kiss before getting out.

I yawned as I began to drive back to my house. I was a lot more tired than I had thought. Luckily though I made it back with no incidents. I collapsed onto my bed, still wearing my swim trunks and quickly fell asleep.
