Broken Promises

You broke my heart.

"Hey everyone! I'm so happy you guys could join us!" Denise smiles as she greets them.

"Boys, everyone else is in the living room, why don't you go hang out while we catch up?" Denise says.

"Time to face the asshole," Nolan says rolling his eyes. I choke down a laugh as he stands up to greet them as well.

"Woah, Max?" Luka asks confused before seeing me. He gives me a questionable look before realizing it's me.

"I guess you took that whole, good girl thing to a new level huh?" Luka laughs.

"Yeah" I smile standing up so Lucas could get a pleasant view of me kissing Max.

"Rylee?" Lucas looks at me confused.

I ignore him completely and go back to Luka.

"So how was it after we left?" I ask confidently.

"Oh, well Jessica was a blubbering mess and Jason said something about being done with your s**t" Luka laughed.

"Everyone else?" I ask with a smirk.

"Well, after Jake and Noah found out he leaked the information about the bet, they put him back on restrictions. No talking to you, no being in the same room alone with you, a good slap across the face from Melissa, and he's doing your chores for the next two weeks" Luka replied.

"It wasn't that big of a deal; however, I would like to have seen Melissa slapping him." I smile at the thought.

"I thought you might say that, I was going to wait until you and Max came back but" Luka smirks pulling out his phone.

He pulls up a video of Melissa slapping Jason, after listening to Jake yell at him about how f****d up he is. I laugh getting a questionable look from Luka.

"Well glad that's taken care of" I smirk.

"You were seriously badass though you know that?" Luka smirks.

"I mean you didn't miss a beat when you called him out for his s**t. You are definitely not the same Rylee" Luka continues.

"Yeah, I guess that's what happens when someone f***s you" I pause for a second, glancing at Lucas, "Over one too many times." I continue, rolling my eyes.

"I mean, you did say you were tired of being the good girl" Luka smirks.

I quickly pull out my phone and text Luka about Max and I dating and how it's this whole thing I'll explain to him later. I got a questionable look before he nodded.

"So, how are you, Max?" Luka winks at him.

"Ya know, just spending time with my girlfriend" Max smirks.

"Woah-Woah-Woah, girlfriend?" Lucas chimes in looking confused and angry hurt even.

"I f****d you last night" Lucas laughs.

"I know" I shrug.

"And he knows?" Lucas asks disgustedly.

"Yeah?" I shrug again.

"What the f**k?" Lucas asks confused.

"It's called a pass" I smirk.

"Oh, so you tell me he's just a friend, I break up with my girlfriend for you. And you are off dating someone else?" Lucas scoffs.

"No, YOU broke up with Jessica on your account don't you dare put that s**t on me, Lucas, I didn't ask you to f*****g do that. I didn't need you to f*****g do that. I can hold my own" I reply getting his face my finger to his chest.

"Well, I guess you don't need to when you are f*****g half the town." Lucas laughed.

"Enough" Luka stepped in between us.

"It's cool Luka" I smirk walking Infront of him.

"It's funny Lucas, I distinctly remember you telling me 'I would never disrespect you, Rylee, I joke around with you there's a difference so which is this? A joke, or disrespecting me?" I scoff as I look into his eyes while he figures out what to say.

"Oh, f**k you, Rylee!" Lucas yells.

"You got bragging rights for that, remember?" I smirk. As Mr. Huntsberger rounds the corner.

"Rylee Banks?" He asks confused.

"Hi, Sir" I smile putting on my good girl smile.

"What are you doing here?" He smiles pulling me in for a hug as Lucas scoffs under his breathe.

"I ran into Denise and Alisha at the store, Denise offered to dye my hair for me." I smile.

"It looks nice" He smiles, looking at it.

"Very red" he replies again.

"Thank you" I smile.

"Your welcome Rylee" He continues to smile before walking to Lucas.

"What's the issue?" he asks under his breath.

"f*****g Rylee" Lucas says loudly.

"Fix your attitude" Mr. Huntsberger replies in a stern tone.

"Nothing dad, okay. I'll play nice and keep my mouth shut." Lucas replies sitting down on the couch.

"Good," His father says before walking back out.

"f**k you" Lucas mumbles under his breath.

"Hey, Alisha can you go get the boys to please?" Denise asks walking into the living room.

"Sure" She walks to the bottom of the steps.

"DINNER!" She yells loudly, I stifle a laugh as her mom looks at her with widened eyes slapping her legs with her hands.

"What I got them?" Alisha laughs.

"Ugh" Denise groans and walks out.

"Noah, come," Max says as Noah walks down the steps.

"Everything okay?" Noah asks.

"Yeah buddy, everything is fine. Just wanted to check in before we ate, okay?" Max smiles.

"Everything is fine Max, stop hovering" Noah whines rolling his eyes.

"Okay bud" Max replies before patting him on the back.

"His kid?" Lucas scoffs.

"His brother asshole," I say walking past him.

"Stop looking at her ass," Nolan says sternly as Max wraps his arm around my waist pulling me closer.

As we sit down to eat things are quiet, Noah and Leo are talking about when they are going to hang out again, Max's hand grasping my thigh tightly under the table, Alisha and Nolan making sly remarks to each other, Luka and Lucas staring at Max and me, expect Luka with a smirk and Lucas with a glare, as the adults talk about adult things.

"So, Rylee how did you and Max meet?" Mrs. Huntsberger smiles politely.

"a few months ago, through one of my foster brothers; Jason," I smirk in Lucas's direction as his Jaw tightens.

"So how long have you guys been together?" Mr. Huntsberger asks.

"Two months" Max smiles squeezing my thigh harder.

"So does he know about you and Lucas?" Mrs. Huntsberger asked.

"If you are referring to the events of last night and this morning, yes. Max is aware of what happened." I reply tightening my jaw.

"And you are okay with her sleeping with other men?" Mr. Huntsberger asked.

"It was a pass; she didn't go out and cheat on me. I gave her permission to live her life for one night, as she did for me." Maxwell replied. Tightening his grip more.

"How about we talk about something else?" Alisha chimed in.

"Yeah, what about the bet?" Nolan smirked looking at Lucas.

"What bet?" Denise asked curiously.

"Oh, the bet Lucas made with a bunch of guys." Alisha chuckled.

"Well, better with guys than with girls am I right?" Lucas laughed.

"I'm bisexual, not gay Lucas" Alisha smirked.

"No, the bet he made about who could sleep with Rylee first. Guess what the winner got mom" Nolan smiled.

"I don't want to know," she said annoyed.

"Bragging rights," Nolan said threw his teeth.

"I think it's time we go," I said lowly.

"Rylee you sit down right now!" Mrs. Huntsberger demanded.

"With all due respect, I don't take well to being demanded to do anything" I reply gritting my teeth.

"You did pretty well last night" Lucas smirked under his breathe, before gaining a slap from Luka.

"Enough, all of you," Denise said quickly, slamming her hands down on the table making me sit in my chair.

"So, Rylee slept with Lucas. Max gave her a pass to do whatever she wanted. Emily, I remember you cheating on Alex two weeks before you got married. He still married you. Lucas, get your head out of your ass. You don't make bets to see who can sleep with someone first. Women are not objects made for your enjoyment, Luka doesn't slap your brother at the table, even if he deserves it. Nolan. Stop causing more problems. And Alisha, you're bisexual we know. Now sit down, and eat!" She yelled.

"Sorry Rylee, I forgot," she said lowly as I was visibly shaking.

"What's wrong with her?" Lucas asked Luka lowly.

"She was f*****g abused" Luka scoffed under his breath.

"Can I be excused for a second?" I asked lowly, Denise nodded her head and I took off for the bathroom, closing the door behind me and sliding down the wall. I closed my eyes for a moment letting everything consume me once again, no matter how hard I try I always end up in the same spot. In the bathroom with my head against the door, my eyes closed trying not to let the tears spill over as they desperately try. I took out my phone texting Melissa to call me with an emergency in five minutes. I waited a few minutes before collecting myself, wiping the one tear that had fallen I slipped out the door. Running my hand through my hair as I enter the dining room, forgetting the mark Lucas left on my neck.

"She's marked as mine" Lucas whispered under his breath so that only I could hear as I walked past. I've had just about enough with all of this nonsense.

"Are you okay?" Max whispered as I sat down.

"I'm fine mi Amor" I smiled kissing his cheek.

"Your love huh?" Lucas scoffed.

Just as I was about to say something my phone rang.

"Sorry," I said walking closer to the doorway.

"Hey, is everything okay?" I said lowly but loud enough everyone could hear.

"Rylee you need to get home, Jake got stabbed playing that stupid knife game! There is blood everywhere!" Melissa screamed through the phone.

"Okay, calm down. How bad is it?" I ask quickly.

"I don't know, we haven't pulled the knife out." She replies.

"Okay, don't pull it out. I'm on my way" I say quickly as Max stands up hanging up my phone.

"I'm sorry Denise, my brother stabbed himself playing a game. Unfortunately, I have to go take care of this!" I said walking towards Max.

"Oh no, which brother?" Luka asks, worried. I roll my eyes at him.

"Jake" I answer.

"Sounds like Jake" Luka laughs before getting a questioning look from his parents.

"Hope he's okay though!" Luka smiles.

"Thanks" I smile and walk towards Max who already has Noah up and walking.

"Thank you for everything, we will come back soon. Again, I'm so sorry about everything tonight" I give a frail smile and we head out the door.

"f*****g f**k" I groan as we climb into the car.

"Do I get to see blood?" Noah asks excitedly from the back seat.

"No Noah" Max replies rolling his eyes as we drive off.

"Dang" She slouches back in the seat, a few minutes later he falls asleep.

"So, what was that about?" I ask Max lowly, putting a hand on his thigh.

"I was playing a part" Max smirked.

"And your hand on my thigh?" I smirk.

"To keep my cool," he answers.

"Okay," I say, removing my hand from his thigh.

"Well, the night is over, you don't have to play the part anymore" I smirk as he gives me a confused look.

"Okay," he smirks placing his hand on my thigh.

"Confusing" I mumble.

"What did you say?" He smirks playfully.

"Nothing" I reply, with a smile as his thumb strokes my thigh.

We ride in silence nearing my house with Noah in the backseat snoring away, the cool breeze of summer flowing through the car as I play with my hand in the wind. We pull up to the house, before saying anything we both check our phones. I sigh and Max groans.

"Everything okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, no" He answers.

"What's wrong?" I ask concerned with the look on his face.

"My mom brought some guy home, she asked me if I would keep Noah with me tonight" He answers as pure frustration covers his face.

"Do you want to stay here? I'm willing to bet the guys would let you guys crash with them." I reply.

"There is only one room I'd be willing to let Noah sleep in, and that's Jakes. There's only a bed and a couch in there and I will not share a couch with him" Maxwell laughs.

"I'll figure it out, don't worry about us" He smiles.

"Okay, so you put Noah in Jake's room and you can sleep in mine" I smile.

"There's only one bed in your room?" He asks, c*****g his head.

"I know" I smirk.

"Will you two shut up!" Noah yells from the back seat gaining a laugh.

"Okay fine" Max laughs, opening the door for Noah as I climb out of the car and head inside.

"Woah, who's the hot chick?" Melissa jokes as I walk inside.

"Right?" I smile delightedly doing a little spin.

"f**k Rylee," Jake says as he rounds the corner.

"Sorry" I smile.

"I didn't know it was you" Jake laughs.

"That's the point Jake," Noah says walking over to me, tugging on my hair.

"OW!" I yell in pain.

"Well, I had to make sure it was real" he scoffs.

"It is." I scoff.

"Anyways, I'm going out, nice to have you home hot stuff" Noah smirks as he walks out.

"Jake, care if Noah crashes on your couch?" I ask sweetly making puppy dog eyes.

"Don't do that again. No, I don't care, where is Max sleeping?" Jake asks as Jason walks down the steps with Jessica.

"My room" I smirk feeling the glare set in.

"Two guys in one day. Nice" Jason scoffs.

"At least I don't abuse women" I smirk.

"f**k you Rylee" Jason yells as Jake walks Noah upstairs.

"A lot of guys want to do that today" I smile shrugging my shoulder.

"So, who did your hair?" Melissa asks pushing Jessica out of the way.

"Denise, Alisha's mom" I smile

"Really? It looks amazing!" She smiles playing with the curls.

"Anyways, I had a long day so I'm going to go shower and head to bed." I smile.

"I'll hang out here till you're done" Max answers as he rolls his eyes.

"You sure? You could keep me company in the shower" I smirk.

"It's okay Ryles" He smiles.

"Okay" I smile walking up the steps slowly.

I went and showered, cleaning and shaving every part of my body. Trying to wash Lucas off of me, before crawling into bed with Max.

"You okay in here?" I heard Jason's voice as the bathroom door opened.

"Get out" I scoffed.

"Come on Rylee you can't hate me forever" Jason sighs.

"Jason I'm not playing get out!" I yelled loudly.

"Make me," he says.

"JAKE!" I yell as loud as I can as Jason inches closer to me.

"What's wrong?" Jake yells as he opens the door to see Jason standing in front of me.

"What the f**k is your problem dude?" Jake scoffs as he grabs Jason's shirt.

"Get the f**k out!" Max yells as he pushes Jason out of the bathroom.

"Oh look, her knight and shining armor." Jason rolls his eyes.

I think Max had just about enough with everything tonight and he just snapped, punching Jason across the face.

"Oh my god, Max!" I yelled jumping out of the shower wrapping a towel around me.

"I'm over this" Max scoffed walking down the steps as I looked at Jason who was laying on the ground.

"f**k you" I scoffed stepping over and running after Max who was outside.

"Max comes back please" I yelled.

"I didn't leave princess" He scoffed sitting on the steps.

"What's wrong Max?" I asked concerned sitting down next to him.

"It's just a lot Rylee. Jason, Lucas. This whole weird ass night" He scoffed throwing his head back.

"I just need a break" He replied.

"A release" I sighed looking at my wrists with another fresh cut on them.

"Yeah" He answered.

"Then come on" I smiled.

"What?" He looked at me confused realizing I was in a towel.

I crawled onto his lap and kissed him hard and rough, after a second, he returned the kiss. Angry, hungry for more. He picked me up and carried me inside.

"HAVE FUN!" Melissa yelled from downstairs.

I laughed among his lips as he chuckled into mine, he carried me upstairs not putting me down until we got inside my room. I smirked as I locked the door behind us, dropping my towel fully.

"f**k Rylee" Max inhaled sharply as he looked over every inch of my body. Running his hand over my body before picking me up against the door. This hasn't been a long-time coming thing; I haven't wanted to rip his clothes off for a long time. Though in some way we have a different connection.

He pinned my arms at the sides of my head interlocking our fingers together while holding me up with his waist. While kissing my neck gently a small moan escaped my lips. He wrapped his arms across my back, removing me from the door to the bed. I laid there as he pulled a condom out of his wallet, watching him intently.

"What?" He smirked as he looked down at me.

"Nothing" I smiled biting my lip.

"Keep doing that, I'll give you a reason to bite it" He smirked.

"You already are, aren't you" I laughed.

He took his shirt off before leaning down slightly, trailing simple kisses down my neck, to my chest, across my breast, down my stomach, over each one of my thighs before settling his mouth on my c**t. I gasped at the sudden warmth, before letting out a small moan in its place as he licked me hungrily running my fingers through his hair.

He nipped at my thighs before working his way back up, I sat up to watch him as he pulled off his pants and boxer. Exposing his hard c**k, fisting it slightly as he stared intensely at me.

"You have a pretty mouth you know that?" He smirked walking closer to me.

"I don't think I've heard that before" I smirked, edging closer to the edge.

"Well, I can tell you it would look prettier around my d**k" He groaned as I took all of him at once, gagging myself in the process. I wrapped my hand lightly around him, stroking with the movements of my mouth pushing his c**k to the back of my throat.

"f**k Rylee" he moaned as he looked down at me fisting my hair. Pulling himself out of my mouth pushing me to my back on the bed slipping the condom on himself. As he pushed his c**k between my lips before finding the entrance, pushing himself slowly in as he mumbled "f**k" under his breath, I moaned with pleasure.

"Rylee!" A knock came from the other side of the door.

"Yeah?" I yelled back, irritated and annoyed as Max stopped all movement.

"Rylee, I need you!" Luka yelled through the door.

"Luka?" I yelled sitting up.

"Rylee please," he said his voice cracking. I pushed up off the bed away from max as he quickly threw on his boxers; I wrapped the stray blanket from the bed around me opening the door quickly.

"Luka, what's wrong?" I asked as the tears fell from his eyes.

"There was an accident on the way home, Lucas" He stopped and looked at me.

"Oh my god Luka what's wrong with Lucas?!" I yelled wrapping my arms around him.

"He's in the hospital. Are you naked?" He looked at me awkwardly and then looked at Max who was struggling to put his pants on.

"Oh god. Oh god, Rylee!" Luka yelled.

"Shut up" I scoffed slamming my bedroom door.

I threw on a long sleeve shirt with a pair of ripped jeans throwing my hair in a messy bun as I ran down the steps.

"So, he hurts you and you run right back to him?" Max scoffs as he walks behind me.

"This isn't for Lucas, it's for Luka," I said angrily.

"Sure" He scoffs rolling his eyes.

"Whatever Max," I say irritated before turning to Luka.

"What hospital?" I ask concerned.

"The one down the street I can't remember the name," Luka says as tears fall from his eyes.

"It's okay" I smile cupping his face.

"Seriously Rylee?" Max says as we walk towards the door grabbing my wrist.

"f**k Max let go!" I wince in pain.

"I didn't even grab you that hard" He scoffs pulling my sleeve up, revealing the fresh cuts on my arm.

"Rylee, what the f**k is that?" Max asks shocked pulling attention towards us.

"Max let go or I swear I will never talk to you again," I say sternly before ripping my arm away.

"What was that about?" Luka asked as I ran to his side.

"Nothing, come on" I smile as I feel the blood run down my arm. I hold his hand with the bruised arm so the blood doesn't fall on him as we run to the hospital.

"How is he?" Luka asks running into the waiting room.

"He's going to be fine Luka, he's awake," Mr. Huntsberger says.

"See I told you. It's okay" I smile wiping the tears from his cheek.

"Come in with me?" Luka said lowly.

"Of course" I smile as he pulls me down the hallway.

We stood at the door for a minute while Luka collected himself before he opened the door slowly, I took a deep breath before following him inside.

"Yeah, I'm fine don't worry, I'll talk to you later" I heard Lucas's voice before I saw him, letting a sigh of relief fall.

"Hey" He smiled at Luka.

"Rylee?" He looked at me confused.

"Yeah" I smiled before sitting across the room.

"What are you doing here?" He asked raising a brow.

"Luka said there was an accident, he was pretty shaken up so I came for him," I answer as the anger melted away. f**k the bet, it's something stupid to get mad over. He almost died tonight and the last words I said to him was 'his brother asshole?' I scoffed to myself.

"What?" Lucas asks irritated.

"I can go if you want me to," I said lowly looking at the wall between them as blood ran down my hand.

"No, it's okay" He answered.

"Rylee, what's that on your pants?" Luka asked walking over to me.

"Nothing Luka" I smile cover my hand with my sleeve.

"Is that blood?" He asks looking at it more closely.

"Rylee come here," Lucas said sternly.

"Lucas leave it," I answered.

"Luka, can you give us a second please?" Lucas asked, of course, Luka agreed and left the room.

"Rylee, come here please" he smiled. He was lying in a hospital bed, I felt like I didn't have a choice. I walked over slowly as he smiled at me.

"Just do it" I rolled my eyes holding out my arm. He pulled up my sleeve before looking at me with sad eyes.

"Don't do that" I scoffed.

"Is it because-" I cut him off.

"The bet? Not the whole reason Lucas." I answered, shoving my sleeve back down.

"When did you start again?" he asked running his hand over my thigh.

"This morning" I huffed, rolling my eyes.

"Why?" he asks.

"The fight with Melissa, The f*****g corridor, Jason, You, the bet." I sighed sitting on the bed.

"Rylee, I forgot about the bet until that morning. I promise" He replies.

"But you still made it Lucas, you. You are the one that made it all up, bragging rights as the prize. Making me feel like I was worth something, anything for one night just to get in my pants" I sighed standing up.

"Rylee you are worth something. You are worth everything to me" he says lowly.

"If I was worth anything to you Lucas, you would have never made that stupid f*****g bet. You wouldn't have broken my heart!" I say as tears stream down my face.

"How did I break your heart Rylee, I never even had it." He scoffs.

"Didn't have it, Lucas? You've had it for so f*****g long, I can't remember a time you didn't have it when you didn't give me butterflies while looking at you When I haven't caught glimpses of you in class when I didn't struggle to focus if you sat behind me. f**k Lucas, you are so stupid sometimes!" I yell through the tears.

"You loved me?" He scoffed, shock or disbelief I didn't care.

"Yes Lucas, I loved you." I sigh settling next to him on the bed.

"But love is a stupid word that only hurts. I can't do this Lucas. I can't talk to you, I can't be in the same room with you, I can't sit next to you and pretend my heart doesn't fall when I look at you now, you broke my heart Lucas, in half, in 2 pieces and I can't just act like it never happened." I reply as my hands cup his face one last time.

"Would it help if I told you I love you? That everything Luka said was true?" He asks holding my hand to his face.

"No Lucas, it doesn't" I smile kissing him on the cheek before standing up.

"Apart of my heart was yours Lucas, but now I need to go fix it" I smile wiping away the tears that stained my cheeks.

"I'll see you around Lucas, I'm glad you're okay" I smile happily as another tear falls, quickly wiping it away.

"I'm going to head home, okay?" I smile at Luka before giving him a quick hug.

"Are you okay?" he asks kissing the top of my head.

"I will be" I give him a smile before walking out to the waiting room.

"Hey" I give a low smile as I walk over to the Huntsbergers.

"Rylee" Mrs. Huntsberger glares at me.

"I just wanted to apologize for how everything happened and check to make sure you were okay. I won't be bugging you at all anymore or causing problems." I smile before walking away as they exchange whispers. I walk home wiping the tears that fall from my eyes, cheeks red and puffy as I near the house. I slump down on the steps letting out a sigh before bursting into tears again letting out a silent scream as I struggle to breathe.
