Because Of Him

When we ruined James

I stared blankly out the window as the guys muttered in the back seats and hayes's grip was tight onto the steering wheel. I stayed quiet for the rest of the ride as Hayes pulled out onto a dead street and In front of a house that I assume was James's house.

The house was pitch black inside like no one was there. Hayes stopped the car and the guys quickly got out. I took my time.

"So how exactly are you going to get inside?" I said as I crossed my arms.

"Easy," Hayes said "we break the window." I stared at him with my mouth opened and eyes bolted out. "Break the f*****g window??!"

"Yeah. Why not?"

"Grier, are you-"

"Let's go!" Dylan called as Riley and Logan followed him towards the back fence that led behind the house. Hayes nodded his head towards me and turned his heel and sprinted towards the back fence.

"So now what?" I said in a unpleasant tone. "We jump over the fence and break the window that leads through James's room" Riley said as he panted lightly in between words. "How are you guys so sure that no one is home?" I asked

"Easy, I use to be close with James," Logan said "his parents were always out and away doing business work and like I said, James is out of the house also"

"Okay. But that doesn't mean we have to break his f*****g window!"

"True but-"

"Let's just climb in. The asshole left the window open and fence gate anyways" Hayes said. Without hesitation he slipped himself through the opened window that neither of us had seen. The guys exchanged confused looks of awe's and slipped through the window as well. I stayed back for a few seconds. Dylan, Logan and Riley were already dropping the plastic bag and scrimmaging through it. Hayes still stared at me from inside the house. "Coming?" He said

"What if we get caught?"

"We're not gonna get caught" Hayes said

"Says who?"

"Says me. Now get your pretty ass over here" Hayes said with a half smile.

"Oh, bite me Grier" I hissed as I started making my way gently and slowly to the window.

"Gladly" Hayes retorted to my bite me remark. I rolled my eyes at him as I slipped through the window. James's room wasn't exactly clean nor dirty. It looked somewhat of both. His bed was made but dirty clothes were flooding the floor and god knows how long they have been there. Basketball posters were spread along the wall along with some pictures of models. I noticed a magazine jammed into the side of his bed, probably a porn magazine. But I'm not one to judge.

"Let's get to work then." Hayes said as he clapped his hands together. Riley turned on the lights and I felt a flash of blindness. I saw the plastic bag that was on the floor filled with multiple items. Hayes held out the first item: spray paint. Of course. Then after that, they started pulling out item after item, toilet paper, mustard, a can of tuna, the box of condoms, and lotion. I stared at the items cluelessly as Dylan held up the bottle of mustard. "What the hell are you going to do with that?" I asked

"This." He said, he went over to James's bed with a mischievous smirk and tore off the covers. The perfect made bed was now just a clumped cover that filled the floor. Dylan opened the mustard and without even stopping or thinking, he started pouring and spreading the mustard around James's bed. Hayes, Riley and Logan all oh'd, I for one, scrunched my face up to the sight of unpleasantness. "Perfect." Dylan said as he squirted the last of the mustard from the bottle and tossed it to the side. He put the covers back on the bed and fixed it to look untouched. He then whistled and brushed his hands together as he walked back over to us. This time, Riley took the can of tuna and went over to James's closet. I stood at a distance and the minute James opened the closet door, I could smell James's axe cologne filling my lungs from the smell of his clothes that were hung up in his closet. Riley popped the can of tuna and threw it inside the closet and shut the door immediately. "Just wait till that baby is in there for a couple hours. Then it really starts to get bad." Riley said as he rolled his words off of his tongue. "Here," Hayes said as he handed Logan the spray paint can. "I'm gonna do the parents bedroom one" "are you sure?" Dylan asked. "Yeah, you guys stay here and spray paint some s**t on his wall. Honey will come with me." I jumped In my spot. "Me?"

"Yes you, come on." Hayes took my hand and we left the room, leaving the guy's alone with the can of spray paint. The halls and everything were pitch black but Hayes seemed to know where he was going. James had a pretty big house. The kind of house where a loving family would live. The kind of family that made you want to wake up each morning just to have breakfast with them before a busy day, the family that was...completed.

The family that I never had.

And now I see why James was always cocky all the time around school, if I had a family like this, well, hell. I would be cocky also.

Hayes opened a door, revealing another bedroom which was James's parents's bedroom. He flicked the lights on as a wide bed was revealed. "Why exactly are we here?" I asked

"Because, James, has been a very very bad boy." Hayes said deviously. He suddenly brought out the box of condoms and the bottle of lotion.

I gulped and felt my breathing tighten.

"Um, Hayes, what are you going to do with that?" I croaked. "Simple, lotion in condom+in parents bed+parents away from home= James is the only one supposedly home and I don't think his parents are to fond of their son having s*x in their bed while they're away." Hayes said. My left eyebrow scrunched up as I stared at him with confusion.

"So that's what those are for..." I mumbled beneath my breath. "Why? What did you think they were for?," Hayes said. He stared at me blankly for a moment before a wild smile appeared on his face and he started laughing. "Oh! You thought-" "Hush...God, you have the craziest ideas..." I muttered. "Why thank you, actually how about you do the honors" Hayes said as he gestured towards the bed.

"Me?!"

"Yup," Hayes handed me one of the condoms and the bottle of lotion. "Whenever you're ready."

"What do I do??!"

"Just put some lotion in the condom, put the condom in the parents bed then boom, we're done." I sighed after hayes's stupid explanation. I opened up the condom and the bottle of lotion and the lotion slowly started making its way out. "Careful, don't put too much. Guys don't usually have that much jiz-"

"Shut up Hayes!" I said. He laughed as I gave him a foul look as I continued squeezing the bottle of lotion. Once it was a good amount I tossed Hayes back the bottle of lotion and made my way to the parents bed. I hesitated as I stood by the side of it and then I placed it in the middle of the bed. Just near the middle of the pillows so it was quickly noticeable.

"Bravo, she did it" Hayes said as he clapped his hands. I rolled my eyes, "shut up. You're lucky I didn't shove that bottle of lotion up your ass" I hissed

"Actually, I think I would've liked it." Hayes said with a smirk. I nudged him playfully before making my way out the parents bedroom and trying to find my way back to James's room. I found his room and opened the door. The first thing that caught my eye was the guys all spraying the same thing around James's room. The words "sandy cheeks my ass" dripped in red paint all along the walls. I studied the words for them to make sense, at first I thought it was an inside joke but then I realized it was a joke involving Riley's ex sandy. "You guys just really-"

"What the f**k? Why the hell are the lights on?" A voice said downstairs in a loud tone. "I don't know babe, did you forget to turn them off?" Another voice said. It was a female and I could immediately recognized sandy's voice.

"Aw shit..." Hayes mumbled. He shut James's bedroom door quickly but quietly. He mouthed the words. 'Lets go' towards all of us and for once, I was the first one to move. I wanted outta there. I didn't want to get caught. I couldn't get caught. But for some reason, I loved the adrenaline. Like I was feeding off of it and I knew that some time down the road I would have to thank Hayes for being the first to actually give me the feeling and experience of all this. I slipped out the window and stumbled towards the grass, I picked myself up quickly and not even looking back as I sprinted towards the car. In which, I don't see how James wasn't suspicious that a car was parked in the driveway of his house. Was this guy really that clue less?

I got into the car and ducked down. The last thing I saw was the guys slipping out the window and sprinting back like I did. All the guys got into the car, panting...

All except Riley. He stood outside staring at the house with his fists clutched and what looked like anger overpowering him like the hulk. Unexpectedly he picked up a big rock that was near the garden, screamed the words "you bastard!" And threw the rock at one of the windows. I didn't know which room was behind that window but all I knew was, if we got caught, we were screwed. The window shattered and shreds of glass fell. Riley sprinted back into the car as we all jumped in our seats. Hayes started the car and pulled out the driveway with the tires screeching.

Once we pulled out from the driveway, and the street, and reached a safe distance we all sat in silence as we all panted heavily.

"Well," I said as I clicked my tongue "that was fun." I said as I eyed the guys.

"Yeah, too bad we didn't get to use the toilet paper" Dylan said

"What were you going to use it for?" I asked

"We were gonna TP his house but then realized it was too basic."

"Whatever. He can just shove the rock I threw through the window up his ass" Riley said and the car filled with laughter.

Hayes kept driving and driving until we started getting closer and closer to Taylor's house again. The guys had fallen asleep in the back and Hayes and I were the only ones awake.

"Had fun tonight?" Hayes asked as he stopped at a red light and gazed at me quickly.

"Yeah, surprisingly I did. Did you? Wait never mind. You always do this kind of stuff"

"True. I do, but tonight was better than any other night I've ever had"

"Why?"

"Because you were with me this time."

"Well, this isn't the first time." I said. Indirect to the first night he came to my house.

"And it isn't the last." Hayes said.
