Tangled in the Great Escape
Fast Forward
6 months have passed, it’s November now and so many things have changed. Tony has completely moved out and has moved in with his girlfriend. Vic started dating a beautiful girl named Emily about 4 months ago and she’s amazing. I’ve become good friends with Kate, and we had just celebrated her 20th birthday. The boys’ band, Pierce the Veil, had been around awhile before Jaime and I were officially together but now they’ve gotten such a huge following. I never really knew how big they were all I had known was that they’re amazing. They’re going to be going on tour in a few weeks and I’m excited and scared at the same time. I’m not sure if I’m going to be staying home for the tour or going with them. Even if I don’t go I know I’ll be kind of okay, I have Kate so I won’t be completely alone and I have a job that I love that I would willingly put more hours into, plus there’s Tony and Vic’s girlfriends.
During the 6 months I ended up cutting quite a few times and had to get stitches last time, which means I have many more scars. That was nearly 3 months ago but I’ve been clean since them due to everyone helping me so I’m finally trusted enough to be alone again. Jaime turned 23 is still working at the music store and I’ve gotten a job there as well. It’s really nice seeing these people come in and watch them fall in love with music. Jaime and I have begun to move out and into a small 2-bedroom house which I find perfect. We’re moving the rest of our things in today after we get off works. It’s friday and I’m currently at the music store with Jaime, placing vinyls back to where they belong when Kate walks in.
She waves to Jaime and comes directly to me, “Hey, when do you get off?”
“Uh, in about 2 hours. Why?”
“Dammit, I was hoping you would take me to see Mike.”
“I can just make Jaime wait for me after his shift, I’ll go with him. You can borrow my car, but try to slow things down with him. He’s going to be leaving for tour soon and just be careful, I don’t want either of you getting hurt.” I give her my keys and shes out the door with a slight smile.
I walk behind the cashier counter to pick up some more records to put away, “You probably shouldn’t say things like that Hales.”
“Do you disagree with me? You guys are leaving soon. It’s not the best thing for her to get attached to him right now, they’d only started dating a few weeks ago.”
“Give them a chance.” He leans down and kisses me before someone walks into the shop. We continue through our shifts helping people find what they want and organizing shelves. To me it never feels like it’s 2 hours when I work here. We wait for the next round of workers to clock in then make our way home with the last few boxes of our things.
We arrive and I take my boxes straight to our bedroom. We have a King-size bed in the middle of the room, against a wall. We didn’t bother with much furniture, there’s really no point. We have a bedside table, a lamp, and a chair next to a bookshelf. There’s a bathroom with a nice big bathtub and shower attached to the bedroom. I’m placing the last of my clothes into my side of the closet when Jaime walks in.
He comes behind me, snaking his arms around my waist and plants a soft kiss to my cheek. “Hey beautiful,” he whispers, his breath against my skin gives me chills.
“Hey babe,” I spin around facing him. I kiss his neck and pull at the hem of his shirt, “you should take a shower with me.” My hand goes to the back of his head, playing with his hair and I pull him in for a kiss. His hands end up on my ass keeping me against him.
He breaks the kiss by biting my lip and pulling aways. “Why do you do this to me Hales,” he presses his forehead to mine. “Go get a shower, the guys are coming over.” Jaime walks away as I go toward the bathroom grabbing a towel along the way. I strip down and get into the shower.
By the time I’ve washed and shaved I hear the doorbell ring so I decide to get out. After squeezing the water from my hair I wrap a towel around myself and walk to our room. I pull on panties and a bra then a pair of ripped blue jeans and a tank top. I run my hands through my damp hair as I walk to our living room to see who’s already here. Tony is on the couch with Stephanie in his lap and Jaime at the other end of the couch. Mike’s in the armchair with Kate squeezed in with him and Vic sitting on the floor. They’re all laughing at a story that Jaime’s telling about when I tripped on my way up the stairs, spilling everything out of the box I was carrying. I lean over from behind the couch and give Jaime a soft kiss before going around the couch and sitting between his legs on the floor.
Vic interrupts the Jaime, “Why do you always sit on the floor?”
“It’s comfy.”
“It’s hard.”
“Well some hard things can be quite nice,” I smirk up at Vic as everyone breaks into laughter again and Jaime nudges me with his leg. “Anyways, how are things going with getting ready for tour.”
“It’s going great actually especially since we’re leaving in a couple of weeks. It’s first tour so it’s not like it’s going to be the best. We’re just opening but at least we’ve got the opportunity. Maybe we can get far with this. It just sucks leaving for 2 months,” Stephanies scared, I can tell by the way she squeezes Tonys hand as he speaks. I definitely don’t know her as well as I’d like to but her heart’s on her sleeve.
“Hey Vic, where’s your girl tonight?”
Kate tries to get Vics attention, he zoned out when we started talking about the tour. “What? Oh, she’s at home with her family, it’s her brothers birthday.”
“Well, Hales and I were thinking it’d be nice to have Steph and Emily stay over here the night you guys leave.”
We continued to talked about the tour and anything else that came up for a few hours before everyone left around 11p.m. This is our first actual night in our new home, we’ve spent so much time getting it ready for us but we hadn’t stayed over night or anything. It’s so strange to be alone, just me and Jaime, after having all of our friends around. When we were still with Mike and Vic no one would leave at the end of the night, everyone would just crash there. I don’t think Jaime and I have ever been alone like this. Sure, we had been home alone at times before but that’s not the same as this. Looking around it’s obvious that we’ve just moved in. There’s not much around the house, we didn’t have much besides what was in our room before. We have a couch and an armchair with a tv for the living room. A microwave and nearly empty fridge along with the built in oven and stove in the kitchen. Then there’s the guest bathroom and the empty spare room, we’re hoping we can eventually get it set up as a guest room.
Jaime and I are now cuddling on the couch with the t.v. on but I’m too distracted by my thoughts to even know what’s on. Time has flown by so fast. I’ll be turning 23 in 5 days on the 15th. I don’t think anyone remembers, no one has said anything about it. I’m actually hoping they don’t remember, I don’t really like the attention. I like being with my friends, I don’t like being the topic of interest amongst them. Jaime and I have been officially together for 8 months now, but it feels like it’s been so much longer. I guess it’s because of how long we’ve been friends, we met almost 11 years ago. Besides that, we’re best friends and that just makes it all so much better because we don’t have to go through the stage of trying to get to completely know each other.
Without a word, I pull out of Jaimes arms and walk to our bathroom, grabbing 2 towels along the way and placing them on the towel rack. I turn on the water for the bathtub, waiting for it to get warm before plugging it to stop water from escaping. Jaime walks in, giving me his beautiful smile as I strip down to my cheeky panties and bra. “I thought you said you wanted to take a shower with me,” He pulls me to him by grabbing my ass as he speaks.
“You missed your chance earlier,” I smirk at him and turn around and shut the water off before the bath gets too full. Jaime sweeps my hair to the side and unclasps my bra, yes he can finally remove my bra with no problem. I push my panties down my scarred hips dropping them to the floor and stepping out of them. Before I can step into the bath I’m stopped by Jaimes hand pulling me away from it as he pulls his clothes off. He gets into the tub then smiles at me as if to tell me to get in with him. Thank god we have a bath big enough for this. Doing things like this feel so good, I feel at home in his arms. He’s almost always holding me, says he feels like he’s able to keep me safer this way. I’m sitting between Jaimes legs and leaning back against him so his head on on my shoulder. One of his hands on my right thigh with his thumb rubbing my inner thigh and his other hand resting against my lower stomach.
I don’t know how long we’ve been sitting here but the water is getting cold and I’m beginning to drift off. “Baby, we should get in bed I don’t want you to fall asleep in here.” I mumble an okay and pull myself up and out of the bath. Jaime is quickly by my side with a towel wrapped low on his hips and he wraps a towel around my body. I follow him to our closet where he pulls on a pair of boxers and hands me a tank top and a pair of panties. We both get dressed and climb into bed and I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
During the 6 months I ended up cutting quite a few times and had to get stitches last time, which means I have many more scars. That was nearly 3 months ago but I’ve been clean since them due to everyone helping me so I’m finally trusted enough to be alone again.
