AXETON’S P.O.V.
After Lorelei slammed the door in my face I followed after my mom and dad.
“You know it’s not fair to her, when the party wasn’t even about her!” My father yelled.
“But it was for her, her and Axeton!” My mother pleaded.
“No Crissy, It’s never for her and always for Axeton!” he yelled again.
“What are you even talking about?” She asked appalled
“Every party Crissy, look at all the pictures you have! They are all of Axeton and only a few of Lorelei! Every party you make her clean up, you make her stay up until every guest has left. But Axeton? He gets to go to bed whenever he wants, he never has to help clean up let alone do it all by himself in the late hours of the night!” My father screamed again.
“You are being ignorant, Daryl you know that right?” My mother hissed.
“No Crissy, you treat her like she's the offspring you didn’t want!” My father’s voice now booming.
“I didn’t” My mother said with no emotion once so ever. Not fear, to resentment, just natural.
“What are you talking about?” I stormed in.
“Nothing Axeton” My father sneered.
“No, it’s time we tell him the truth” my mother huffed.
“You tell him your truth or the real truth?” My dad scoffed.
“The real truth Daryl” My mother rolled her eyes and patted her hand on the couch. When I didn’t move, she glared at me like I was a dog who didn’t obey her command.
“I’m fine where I’m at” I said annoyed.
“Fine, when you were born, I thought there was only one. You, but when I had twins, it was a surprise to your father and I. I wanted to give Lorelei up for adoption but your father refused. ‘You can’t separate them’ he argued. For days we fought about this, until I finally just gave up. There was no changing his mind, he went out and bought all girl stuff for her. Dresses, bows, pretty pink outfits, flower prints, new crib and crib set, anything she could possibly need. The only thing she would never have was the love I felt for you. We made a deal; it wasn’t the best one but it was one I was comfortable with. He would take care of Lorelei and I would take care of you. I never had to deal with her and your father was able to have his little girl.” My mother said angrily.
“But then it all got too much for your mom, she couldn’t take care of you by herself. I tried to spend as much time with you as I could while your sister was sleeping but your mother didn’t even want to be in the same room as her. So, I started to take care of you both, full time. That’s why you guys got so close. Once you were old enough to start taking care of yourselves and look out for each other I didn’t worry about you guys as much. Turns out I should have been worried the whole time; Lorelei never told me how your mother treated her. While I'm sure she had her reasons I wouldn’t have left it go on any longer.” My father said and left the room.
“You mean to tell me, because Lorelei is a girl. You’ve treated her badly because you didn’t want a girl? Or was it because you could only love one of us, and that had to be me?” I asked appalled.
“You are thinking about this all the wrong way Axeton, I loved you and she couldn’t have that” My mother smiled. Like maybe I would understand? But I would never understand how she tossed her own daughter to the side because she had more love for me. I pushed her to the side and walked out.
I knew if I gave Lorelei a little time, she would come down for food like she does every morning, but 5 minutes turned into 30, 30 turned into an hour, then two hours, then three hours. Before I knew it the whole day was gone and it was getting dark. So instead of waiting for her I took matters into my own hands. We had a nice conversation but she opened my eyes to a lot of things. I realized she didn’t have a mom or a big brother like she should have.
‘You going to Ashleys party?’ James texted me. My original plan was to skip it, but Lorelei is going and maybe this is good place to start making up for how badly I constantly f**k up. To show her I'm not like our mother.
‘Yeah, I’ll be there’ I answered.
I showered and got ready, I walked down the steps as I heard the door down the hall open and close quietly.
“Going somewhere?” My mother hissed.
“Yeah.” Lorelei said quickly.
“Not looking like that you aren’t” She huffed.
“I don’t think you can tell me what to wear anymore” She scoffed.
“Lorelei, I don’t know what mind games you are trying to pull but they won’t work on me” My mother said acrid.
“I’m not doing this with you again” She groaned.
“Hey, you ready?” I asked as I popped up the steps.
“Where are you guys going?” My mother asked sweetly.
“Sibling fun time, don’t worry about it.” I said bitterly.
Lorelei didn’t give me a second look before walking downstairs into the kitchen.
“Are you seriously still mad at me?” My mother asked offended.
“Huh, I don’t know. Did you purposefully hate Lorelei her whole life?” I said lividly and walked away. Joining Lorelei in the kitchen while she silently ate cold pizza from a few nights ago. I left her eat in peace and waited by the front door. When she was finally done, she grabbed her jacket she had threw on the couch and headed outside.
“Wanna ride?” I asked happily.
“I’m good” She scoffed as she walked down the driveway to Alex’s car.
I was a little taken-a-back not going to lie but I fully understood where she was coming from. Knowing what I know now makes me feel more like an ass then I would have if I was just a d**k to her all the time or hurt her feelings when we weren’t as close, but now I feel like a garbage person.
I got in my car and headed to Ashleys party; I knew this wasn’t going to be a great look for me but I didn’t care honestly. Lorelei is my sister and it’s time I really started acting like it.
LORELEI’S P.O.V.
“You okay?” Alex asked me
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” I asked confused.
“Lolly we’ve been in the car for 10 minutes and you’ve just been looking out the window.” She answered concerned.
“Sorry, I'm just not feeling like myself today” I answered honestly. I wasn’t but I couldn’t tell them the reason why I wasn’t. Alex is my best friend without a doubt, I know she wouldn’t tell anyone anything about me even if we got into a fight but on the other hand, I couldn’t know that for sure. She doesn’t know about anything that happens in my house and when she is over, we all act like a normal family so she doesn’t think something is wrong with us.
“I noticed. It's okay, we are going to party like it’s 1999 and everyone is worried about Y2K” Alex laughed. I chuckled, more of a force then a real one.
The closer we got Ashleys the more I thought about how I didn’t want to be here. How I really just wanted to be alone and locked in my room until collage started again, at least then I wouldn’t have to deal with my mom all the time again.
“What’s up bitches!” Ashley yelled as we walked inside, Axeton close behind.
“Axeton!” She yelled running towards him completely pushing me out of the way. I rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen to get myself a drink.
“Lolo!” James yelled as I walked in.
“Yeah” I smirked ignoring him honestly.
“You know she hates it when you call her that” Jay said smacking him upside the head.
“Hey, Lorelei” Jay smiled.
“Hey” I said not even making eye contact while pouring myself a shot of Vodka.
“It’s me Jay” he said confused.
“I know” I scoffed and downed the shot like it was nothing.
“Okay?” He said confused as I poured myself another one.
“Should you be going this hard? You just got here?” James asked concerned.
“Did I ask for a babysitter?” I rolled my eyes and downed another.
“Lorelei there you are” Axeton said walking into the kitchen.
“Dude go away” I scoffed downing another one. I slammed the shot glass down on the counter, grabbed a wine cooler and walked out.
“Everything okay?” I heard James say as I left.
I rolled my eyes and went back to the party where everyone was getting drunk and high, dry humping each other on the floor, walls, steps.
“Hey, Jackson!” I yelled as I walked over to him.
“Lorelei?” He asked confused.
“Sure” I laughed.
“Are you drunk already?” he asked concerned.
“Working on it” I said and tipped my glass
“You really aren’t one for a party, why are you here?” he asked
“Well, I have these friends who drag me to parties I don’t want to go to and then leave me within the first 2 minutes” I laughed.
“Oh, okay?” he said confused again.
“I’m sorry” I laughed again and went to walk away.
“It’s okay, some of us are going to go smoke, wanna come?” he asked happily.
“Sure, why not?” I smirked and walked closely behind them outback.
“Lorelei!” Some of the others yelled as I walked out. I didn’t party much but I know how to handle my liquor, among other things.
“Hey Robbie, Kassie, Joe, Amila!” I said as I sat down beside them.
“Would you like to partake in the devil's lettuce” Kassie smirked handing me a blunt.
I inhaled, feeling the smoke fill in my lungs before taking another inhale and passing it to Jackson, I held it until it almost came around again and then exhaled, everyone watched in awe.
“What?” I asked confused.
“How are you so good at holding your breath?” Jackson asked concerned.
“Oh, I was champion of the swimming team this year” I laughed.
“So?” He asked confused.
“So, I had to hold my breath for 10 minutes in order to pass the test to be able to compete” I laughed again.
“And you didn’t cough?” One of his friends asked.
“Yeah, I smoke a lot” I chuckled before I inhaled again longer this time and then passed it, I released it after it got to the second person though, can’t show off all night, I guess.
“We haven’t seen you in a minute, where have you been?” Kassie asked with a smile.
“Oh, I haven’t felt like partying much lately” I smiled.
“And don’t forget about your friends that drag you to parties and then ditch you” Jackson smirked.
“Yeah, she usually just comes and chills with us all night and we take her home, we don’t drink much.” Kassie answered.
“I’ll take her home tonight, but thanks Kassie” Axeton said as he walked towards us.
“No thanks” I laughed inhaling again.
“Lori stop, you are going to make yourself sick” Axeton insisted.
“Axeton, I could drink you under the table and still be fine, ask James how it went for him last time” I smirked watching him and Jay come out behind Jackson.
“Three shots, and how much of that blunt?” Axeton said stupidly.
“Didn’t know I needed my brother to watch out for me now, four years of parties and now you decide to step up” I scoffed and shoulder checked him and downed my wine cooler as I walked away.
“That isn’t like Lorelei?” Kassie said confused.
I went inside and danced a little, or a lot. I was finally letting loose and I was tired of everyone telling me who I am anymore. I snuck off to the upstairs to get some quiet and get my head on straight, a party is not the place to have a breakdown.
“OH MY GOD LORELEI!” Cory yelled as I opened one of the doors.
“Oh god Cory I’m so sorry!” I yelled and went to walk out without taking another look until I saw the shirt sitting on the floor.
“Josh?!” I yelled looking up again
“Cory are you f*****g kidding me?!” I yelled.
“I’m drunk?” She left out a half chuckle.
“f**k you!” I yelled and slammed the door.
Josh is my Ex-boyfriend. We dated for 6 months and broke up 2 months ago. I haven’t really cared to date since then, mostly because I was focused on school; also, because he cheated on me with Ashley. I was livid and seeing red, 6 months and I still meant nothing to him. One time he could get away with it and I might forgive him but one of my close friends?
Two can play at that game. I watched as Cory and Josh were following me close behind but not close enough that I couldn’t disappear if I wanted to.
I walked downstairs and outside to Jackson, He was mysterious and hot, he wasn’t Jay but I knew he wouldn’t so Jackson was my best bet. He was cute and smart, popular yet mysterious, he didn’t care what people thought and was sexy as all hell.
I walked over to him and whispered in his ear, to the untrained eye it would look like we were going to have s*x but to him and I, we were just giving Josh a taste of his own medicine. Jackson took me by the hand and led me upstairs, we were basically seen by no one but Josh and Cory.
“Why did I do that?” Jackson asked as he shut the door and locked it.
“Oh, I walked in on my close friend and my Ex-boyfriend doing the nasty.” I smiled and sat down on the bed.
“Okay, so what now?” He asked lowly.
“Now, we can jump around and moan or we can sit here quietly.” I smiled again.
“Or we could have s*x?” he asked raising his eye brow.
“Okay” I shrugged my shoulders and started kissing him.
“Wait really?” He said pulling away
“This isn’t some type of bet or something is it?” I asked confused.
“No, I just, I may be popular but I never thought you would go for someone like me” He confessed.
“Jackson, you are hot, okay? And this is just a no strings attached random party hook-up. One-time thing, okay?” I said to make sure he understood.
“Yeah, makes sense to me” He smirked and kissed me again.
His kiss was so gentle and then turned hungry like he couldn’t wait for more, he slowly undressed me kissing every part of my body making his way down to my core, small pleasurable moans escaped my lips. placing kisses all around it and then on it, flicking his tongue in the most pleasurable way possible brining me to my first orgasm I moaned loudly as he inserted a finger and started thrusting slowly, keeping a steady rhythm as I cried out his name.
“Two and we didn’t even get to the main course” He teased bringing himself up on his knees, undressing his lower half.
Girls have gotten with Jackson before but I always thought they were lying about how big he was. Man was I rudely mistaken.
He pulled a condom out and slipped it on in the most s****l way possible, as if I wasn’t already a slip-n'-slide. He positioned himself between my legs rubbing himself between my folds before taking a slow entrance.
“f**k” I yelled as he slowly pushed himself into me.
“Shh” He smiled bringing his hand over my mouth.
He started off slow, keeping the same pace for a little, then started to get faster, harder, and then slowed down again.
“Stop doing that!” I whined.
“Oh, I'm sorry, am I doing something wrong?” He teased. Bending down taking my hard n****e in his mouth making me moan louder as he started going faster.
“That’s it, c*m for me” He smirked as he thrusted in and out faster and harder until pushing himself deep inside of me slowly letting me ride out the orgasm before starting again.
He thrusted in and out, faster and harder than before, putting my legs on his shoulders, playing with my c**t as he did so, I moaned louder as I finished so did, he. He flopped down beside me on the bed, we laid there breathlessly for a few moments.
“So, was I as good as everyone says I am?” He joked.
“Eh, could’ve been better” I laughed
“Lorelei you in there!” Axeton yelled through the door.
“Yeah, just needed a breather!” I yelled back quickly throwing my clothes on Jackson doing the same. I fixed my hair in the mirror hanging on the wall and opened the door as Jackson sat on the bed.
“Why is he in here with you?” Axeton hissed.
“We were talking?” I asked confused as Josh and Cory stood behind him.
“Cory said you were having s*x with him?” Axeton glared at Jackson.
“Oh, did she also tell you she's f*****g my ex?” I smirked now with a whole crowd of people around the room.
“You’re what?” Alex yelled pushing her way through.
“I am not” Cory defended.
“Yeah, you are. That’s why I asked Jackson to pretend like I whispered something dirty in his ear so he would lead me upstairs” I laughed.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me. Jackson promised to do a shot with me” I smirked and led Jackson out of the room to the kitchen where Alex followed close behind.
“Lorelei, did you and Jackson actually?” She asked.
“No, we didn’t" I laughed as I poured a shot for Jackson and I.
“Are you sure?” She asked concerned.
“Alex, Jackson is a really great guy. I think you’d like him” I smirked and downed my shot and left them in the kitchen.
