I Breathe You In With Smoke.
They'll Never Take Us Alive.
TONY
I woke up to hearing Mya in the bathroom. I sighed and made my way to her, holding her hair as she cried over the toilet seat. About 5 minutes later, she flushed the toilet and sat against the wall.
"You have alot of puke for such a small girl." I chuckled.
"Gee, thanks." She mumbled as I reached into the medicine cabinet and gave her a bottle of Ibuprofen. "I'm never drinking again, I feel like I've been hit by a semi." I nodded and sat next to her.
"We all went hard last night, but this was your first time and you had more drinks than I did. Can't do that, silly." She nodded slightly and laid her head against my chest. I bit my lip, feeling memories of last night come back in a blur.
Holy shit, I kissed her.
"Tony.. we were drunk and I didn't-" She spoke quickly, noticing my change in behavior. I shushed her and pulled her into a hug.
"My, it's okay." She picked at her nails and sniffled.
"Y-You're not mad?"
"Why do you always think I'm mad at you?" She shrugged.
"I'm just so scared of fucking up." I frowned and kissed her forehead.
"And what do I always say to you?" Mya smiled, her eyes still fixated on her lap.
"That you could never be mad at me?"
"Exactly." She looked me in the eyes, the slight gleam back in them.
"You wanna go get lunch?" I asked.
"Y-" We both jumped when we heard a loud crash coming from downstairs, interrupting her sentence. I got to my feet, pulling her up with me as we walked down to see what had happened.
"Everyone okay?"
"Fucking Jaime man.." Alex mumbled and put his hands over his eyes. I walked over to see him on the floor, next to the kitchen table and groaning in pain.
"Dude.." I laughed, grabbing his hands and helping him up. "You good?"
"I feel like shit. I'm going back to bed." He mumbled and got back on the kitchen table. Mya laughed before tugging on my arm.
"Let's just get ready and go." I shrugged with a nod, walking upstairs.
MYA
How were things not awkward between us, but we weren't talking about it? Oh, how bad I just wanted to leave it alone, but I... I couldn't.
I picked at my salad and sighed.
"You okay?" I dropped my fork and shook my head.
"I have to talk to you."
"Okay, shoot." He told me, his mouth full with a taco. He set it back on his plate and I giggled.
"Whaa?"
"Tone, you got a little cheese.." I trailed off, wiping the bottom of my lip. He laughed and attempted to wipe it off. I leaned across the table and ran my thumb across his lip. He brought it between his teeth as I pulled away, mumbling a 'Thank you'. I blushed and nodded.
"So... First things first. Last night." Tony sighed.
"I knew we had to talk about this at some point. My's we were obviously drunk. Should the kiss have happened? Probably not, but it did. I was the one who came onto you, so I should be apologizing, but I can't apologize for something that I don't regret.."
"What? Why?" I asked, blushing a deep red.
"I dunno." He whispered, blushing also. "It just the way it happens to be, I guess."
I just wanted to ask him so many more questions, but I decided to leave it, moving onto something that I feared a reaction from.
"Um, Tone.."
"Mhm?"
"I'm thinking about going back to school."
"WHAT?!"
"I need my diploma.."
"Then do online school!" I shrugged.
"Why are you freaking?"
"I-It's just... You're... sensitive. We both know kids are cruel, and I don't want you to fall back into, well.. what we're trying so hard to get you out of. Y'know?" He whispered. I looked down at my plate, nodding. "I just wanna keep you safe."
"Nothing is set in stone, but I just felt like I needed to tell you."
"Well thank you."
"You're welcome, Tony."
"You ready?" I nodded. He smiled and waved over the waiter, quickly paying, and walking out with his arm around me.
We walked into the house to see Jaime and Jas cleaning.
"Hey beautiful." Jas smiled. "I figured you were dead from last night." Tony scoffed.
"She was this morning."
"Are you okay? I knew I shouldn'tve let you drink.." Jaime whispered.
"Himes, I'm fine." I mumbled as I wrapped him in a hug. He hugged me tightly, lifting me off of the ground and making me giggle.
"Where's Vic and Mike?"
"Vic's in the shower, and Mike's still passed out with some chick in his bed."
"Sounds about right." I laughed and went to grab Jas' trash bag.
"No. Go lay down with Tony" She winked, causing me to blush.
"I hate you."
"Love you too, babe." I rolled my eyes and made my way upstairs, walking into my room and collapsing face first onto the bed next to a sleeping Poppy, groaning when I heard my phone ring in my back pocket. I pulled it out and rolled over, furrowing my eyebrows at an unknown number texting me. I opened the message, my heart stopping as I read it.
Unknown:
You think we wouldn't find you?
TONY
I watched as Mya walked upstairs, only snapping out of it when I felt hands on my shoulders.
"We need to plan." Jaime told me.
"Plan?"
"My's birthday is in less than two months away, so we all need to-"
"What day."
"June 9th, but we all need to plan a party or some shit." I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face.
1 month, 15 days.
She'll be 18.
"Y-Yeah."
"Awe, Tone, what's got you all happy?" Jas taunted. Jaime raised his eyebrow.
"Just happy."
"Mhm."
"Am I missing something?" Jaime asked, turning around to Jasmine, whose eyes were locked on me with a smirk. I narrowed my eyes and nodded my head towards my room. She nodded.
"Nuffin Himes. I'll be right back." She said, both of us, leaving behind a slightly confused Jaime.
JAS :D
Tony grabbed my hand, rushing me upstairs and closing the door.
"What was that back there?!" He whisper yelled at me. I smirked.
"You know something."
"Yep."
"Spill." I giggled.
"Well, I was the first to wake up, and I checked to make sure everyone was here and safe. I couldn't find My or you, so I flipped. I ran to her bedroom and saw her on the floor sleeping, and I was like 'oh, okay.' Until, guess who she laying with?"
"I-It's not like that!" He sputtered.
"Tone, chill. You know me, I'm not one to run my mouth about shit. I've known you since you we could barely walk for fucks sake, and wanna know what I think? I think you like her."
"I-I..."
"Her and I have had this conversation too, and-"
"Wait, what did she say?"
"Whoa, pushy." I laughed and shoved his shoulder. "But like I said, I'm not going to tell secrets, but I will play cupid if I gotta."
"I can't do anything. Sure, she'll be eighteen soon, but-"
"Jaime, yeah. That may or may not be an issue, but whatever. You two are bros, so he should trust you with her." He shrugged.
"I don't know, he wouldn't take it lightly. Just, lay low until I figure shit out." I rolled my eyes and nodded.
"Fine, but Mike and Vic know too."
"Fucking awesome." He breathed, pushing past me and walking out.
I sighed and followed.
"Sorry, Himes."
"S'cool." He told me, handing me my trash bag, only for me to set it back down when my phone rang. I took it out of my back pocket, realizing that my agent was calling.
"Hey Mark."
"Jasmine! How are you love?" He asked in a heavy british accent.
"Life's good."
"Life's 'bout to get betta!"
"Oh really?"
"I booked you a shoot in Miami and Paris."
"WHAT?!" I screamed, watching Jaime cringe, mouthing something about his hangover. I gave him an apologetic smile.
"You have 2 weeks to pack. I bought your ticket."
"Wait, how long will I be gone?"
"Eh, 3 months?" Shit. My's birthday.. I'm going to miss it.
But, money is money. I either attend all shoots, or get dropped.
"O-Okay. Text me details. Thanks." I whispered, hearing Mark scream a goodbye as I took my phone away from my ear and ended the call.
"Hey, you okay?"
"No.." I sighed. Jaime wrapped me in a hug.
"What's gotcha down?"
"I'm leaving."
"Oh okay, I'll finish-"
"No, I'm leaving."
"Oh.. How long?"
"Miami and Paris back to back. Mark said 3 months. I-I'm going to miss Mya's birthday.."
"She'll understand, Jas"
"I just want to be there, y'know?" He nodded and pulled away.
I just got back, and I'm already leaving the people I've grown to love.
I woke up to hearing Mya in the bathroom. I sighed and made my way to her, holding her hair as she cried over the toilet seat. About 5 minutes later, she flushed the toilet and sat against the wall.
"You have alot of puke for such a small girl." I chuckled.
