Sia's POV
''Easton'' I call as I follow him out into the car park and he finally turns around.
''Easton please you can't tell anyone'' I tell him.
''So it's true you guys are together?'' he asks and I nod.
''Please Easton let me explain, you can't tell anyone'' I beg.
''Don't you have a boyfriend?'' he lowers his brows.
''Yes but..''
''I just didn't think you were that kind of girl'' he says and I feel all the air leave my stomach from the harshness of his words. His tone isn't harsh but the words hit me hard. I don't want anyone to think I'm that type of girl because they see me with Hero because I'm not and it really hurts me if people think that of me.
''I'm not, it's just... I don't know how it started it's confusing but I don't want you to think of me any other way. I'm still the Sia you know''
''Does Nelson know?''
''No''
''How could you do that to him? I thought you were so much better than that'' he says with disappointment.
'' I am better than that I will tell him soon''
''Please don't think of me any differently'' I add.
''I'll try not too but don't get yourself hurt. Girls like you don't be with guys like that unless they're looking to get hurt or for trouble. I think you shouldn't be with someone like him. Please don't put yourself in a situation when you know you're gonna get hurt and most of all if you are hurting other people. Just be careful'' He warns me.
''I will but please don't tell anyone, I will explain this another time'' I tell him.
''I won't but I really think you should tell Nelson, he deserves to know''
''I will soon'' I say and I watch him walk off to his car.
''Aren't you gonna watch the game?'' I ask him as he gets closer to the carpark.
''Yeah, I just forgot something in my friend's car''
''Okay well I'll see you later'' I say and walk away.
At first, Easton didn't really expect a thing, he thought Hero and I were just friends or something but when Hero said 'make sure and pack my favorite lingerie for tonight' that's when his eyes looked like they wanted to pop out of his head and so were mine.
Why would he just randomly say that?
I know he doesn't like Easton because he claims he likes me and all which he doesn't but he just made things so much worse. Easton could've just seen me here with him and thought we were friends and left but no Hero had to make sure he knew we were together. Are we together? Or whatever we are. I don't even know what we are although we have slept together and he took my virginity.
I know I need to tell Nelson that I haven't been loyal to him and there is someone else but that would cause so much drama in my life right now which I don't want. Having to deal with Hero is enough I can't bear adding any more drama to my life.
If I tell Nelson then I mother would get involved because obviously, he would tell her and then his parents and his family would get involved as well as Erin and April making everything so much worse and I really don't want that. I have to figure out a way to tell him without everyone else getting involved.
I still can't believe I did that to Nelson, well I'm still doing it. Ever since I came out there and I met Hero I don't feel that way with Nelson but I still shouldn't have done that to him, what a good person would do is break up with the person that she has lost interest in not cheat on them, I can't believe I have become one of those girls, the ones who cheat on their boyfriends. Never in a million years I would've thought that I would've done something like that but I did.
Hero's POV
''You can fucking keep your eyes on all the women here and I don't give a shit but don't ever look at Sia like that again you asshole'' The guy nods in fear then I release my grip from his shirt as I walk out of the men's room giving him a death stare.
Why the hell was he looking at her legs anyway? and soon after all his friends eyes were trailing up and down her body making me even madder and Sia was uncomfortable but she was too shy to say anything.
Where the hell is she anyway?
I got all the food and everything and I tell the guy next to our seats to hold them for me while I go look for her. The game's about to start soon where is she, I know she's mad at me but I didn't think she would've stayed outside.
Wait is she still talking to Eastwest?
Just as I say his name I notice him sitting in the front row getting ready for the game. So he's in here which means she isn't talking to him outside so where is she? I walk outside and the night breeze sweeps over my face. It's so cold out here, where is she? I scan the parking lot looking for her but I see nothing but cars parked until I see something sitting down in the dark in the corner curled up in a ball, it's Sia. I walk up to her and stand in front of her.
What is she doing? Is she alright?
''Sia'' I call but he doesn't respond nor lookup.
She pulls her knees close to her chest with her hands and her head is buried in them.
''Sia'' I call a bit louder in case she didn't hear me the first time but she still ignores me.
''Sia'' I say softer and lightly touch her head and I hear a sniffle come from her.
Oh god don't tell me she's crying. Why is she crying? What does she expect me to do comfort her? I'm terrible at comforting people not that I have ever really done that before.
I've never even done that to anyone before, once I tried with Diesel when his fling cussed him out in text messages and he was upset and I just made him feel worse and we ended up cussing each other after.
I don't know what to say, I'll just make her feel worse or whatever reason she's crying for. Why can't she be like all the other girls I've been with, they're not shy and they don't cry for everything like she does and most of all they don't take things that are nothing and make them a big deal and cry and get upset over it like a 4-year-old.
I sit down next to her and I really hear her crying. I rub her head lightly then gently raise her head up from her arms but he refuses and puts her head back down. I finally get her to keep her head up and I tuck her hair behind her ear and turn her to face me and her eyes are teary.
''What's wrong?'' I ask and she takes a moment to respond.
''I'm a horrible person'' She says.
Where is this coming from?
''Who told you that?'' I ask. If it's that asshole Eastwest I'm gonna drag his ass out here right now and make him regret telling her that.
''No one, I just know to myself that I am''
''You're not''
''How would you know? Ever since I came here I've been doing such horrible things I've never done before in my entire life before. I'm constantly lying to everyone, I sneak out almost every night from my internship for the wrong reasons and I'm betraying my boyfriend at home who loves me'' She cries.
It's all true, she is doing all those things and I am the cause of them all but I don't want her to think she's a horrible person because she's not, she's very far from that. It's I'm the one who is a horrible person not her and she shouldn't ever think that about herself.
''That doesn't make you a horrible person'' I tell her.
''Yes it does. I just wish I was home in my bed right now'' she says.
''I let you take something from me that I never thought would be taken from me right now, my virginity. I sneak out every night to sleep with you and constantly lie to everyone making them think I'm such this great girl when really I'm not, I'm horrible especially for doing that to Nelson. Besides no good girls would be with doing this'' She says.
''Doing what?''
''You know us sleeping together'' she says.
That is also true, the girls I usually sleep with are nothing like her, I don't even look at girls like her far less for sleeping with them. I usually sleep with bad girls who are maybe even worse than I am but Sia isn't one of them and I don't want her to ever think that just because we had sex.
Sia and I are opposites and just because we had sex doesn't mean she's a horrible person or is anything like me, she's very far from that.
''Sia none of those things make you a horrible person. Yes you did those things and you made mistakes but you'll learn from them. Sometimes in life, you try hard to fight away from something but instead you end up fighting for it without even realizing it but you can't help the way how you feel towards it. Sometimes feelings just draw you in closer. If you loved Nelson you wouldn't have hurt him like that but you did so crying about it now isn't going to help just own up to it. Sia, you are so beautiful more than you know, you're smart, intelligent, caring and loving and so much more so don't ever think less of yourself no matter what and you'll see it even more in the future when you have you, husband and kids, and you're living in San Francisco you'll see that the mistakes were only leading up to something good'' I say and she looks at me and a tear falls from her eye.
''You okay?'' I ask and she nods.
''Let's go, it's cold out here'' I say and get up.
I hold my hand out for her and she places her hand in mine and dusts the back of her skirt before she makes her way into my arms. She wraps her arms around my back and I bury my head in her neck inhaling her scent. God, she smells so good, it's a mixture of lavender and coconut and her gorgeous scent. I never liked girlie scents like that, it's cringy but it smells so good on her. I unlock the car and open the passenger door for her but she declines.
''Aren't we going to watch the game?'' she asks.
''I thought you wanted to go home well back to the tents''
''No, I actually wanted to watch the game with you'' she says and gives me a small smile and I give her back a wicked one.
I run up to her and lift her up off the ground and spin her around while she giggles before putting her back down and she looks much happier than before.
She is way too good for me.
''Could you carry me?'' she smiles and raises her brows.
I turn around and she climbs on my back, her hands are on my shoulders and my hands are holding her legs in place as we walk in the stadium. She hugs me tighter for warmth as we walk inside. I set her down by the entrance and I sling my arm around her as we walk in.
Sia's POV
Hero is so into the game, almost every five minutes he gets up from his seat and yells something to the players along with some other people behind. He gets angry sometimes but most of the time he's happy. His smile and blue eyes light up the room, he smiles and laughs most of the time causing me to join him. I love seeing this side of him, I've never seen it before.
I try watching the game but I barely understand anything and I keep mixing up which goalkeeper is for which team. Hero's much more entertaining to look at than the game so I keep my eyes on him the whole time, although I hope he doesn't find me creepy. I feed him throughout the game and every bite of the hotdog he takes he has this little mustard stain on the corner of his mouth, I smile every time and wipe it off.
''That game was so fucking awesome, probably the best of the year. Coming down top the end was so scary, I was sweating, I was so scared that they weren't gonna win but those assholes didn't stand a chance because they're fucking awesome'' he says and runs forward like a crazy person out the door.
''You're really happy tonight'' I tell him.
''Why wouldn't I be it's a great night'' he says and runs out even further along with the rest of the crowd out the door.
''See you later'' Easton touches my back.
''Goodnight'' I tell him and Hero turns around and stares at him until he walks away from me.
''Excuse me miss can you take a picture of me and my wife?'' a man asks me.
''Sure'' I say and take the phone from his hand.
I hold up the phone and take the picture. The couple is elderly like in their 50's or maybe 60's which makes me wonder why are they are at a football game.
''Thank you do you want me to take one of you?'' The woman asks.
''Uhm yeah actually'' I say and call Hero and he walks up to me kinda confused.
''Do you wanna take a picture?'' I ask him.
''Of what?'' he asks.
''Us''
''Why? I don't really like pictures''
''Please just one'' I beg.
''No''
''Please'' I beg again.
''Okay fine but just one''
I pull out my phone and give it to the woman but Hero grabs it out of my hand.
''Your phone is a BLU'' he says and turns it around examining it.
''Yeah so?''
''Who the hell has a Blu phone? It's so lame''
''No it's not'' I defend.
I know most teenagers are into the latest phones now but not me. I have had this Blu phone for a while and it works pretty good, I mean it's not the best but it's good enough for me.
''Use mine'' he says and pulls his phone out and gives it to the woman.
Hero and I stand close to each other awkwardly until he pulls me closer to him and wraps his arm around my waist. I put one hand on his stomach and look up at him while he looks down at me with both of us smiling as the light on the camera flashes. I run-up to the woman and take the phone examining the picture, it's so perfect. Hero and I both look so happy the necklace on my neck is prominent, the lighting is great and it's taken right under the football stadium's name. Hero's smile is everything and it definitely reaches his eyes, he's really happy tonight and I'm trying to enjoy every second of it as long as it lasts.
''Thank you'' I tell the couple and they smile and walk to their car.
''Aww I love it, will you send it to me?'' I ask and he says 'yeah' and leads me to the car.
The rain is getting heavier by the minute and it's getting colder but Hero turns up the heat for me. We drive in silence for about 10 minutes with Hero's hand on my thigh and me staring out the window until he breaks the silence.
''What kind are you gonna get?'' he asks and I'm confused.
''What do you mean?'' I answer his question with a question.
''Pill'' he says and I think I know what he means birth control. Is he serious right now? Even if a girl is getting birth control he doesn't tell the guy what kind she's gonna get that's weird but apparently Hero wants to know everything.
''I don't know'' I say.
''Wait are we gonna get it now?'' I ask him.
''Yeah''
''What? why? I didn't think I would've started it so soon''
''I told you I would just use the condom the first time but after that I want you to get on birth control''
''I know but can we just use the condom another time and I will get on it another time''
''No Sia I told you I wanna feel all of you and I want to fill you till you're dripping and you need to get on it now. Did you do any research or anything on it?'' he asks.
''Yeah but it has a lot of side effects''
''Well yeah but everyone will react differently to it. Just talk to the pharmacist'' he says.
''Okay fine''
We pull into a small pharmacy that's opened 24/7 and the rain is turning into a storm. Hero gets out of the car and runs to the trunk and comes back soaked in the car with two jackets. He gives me one to put on and it's huge but his scent fills it which makes me eager to put it on. Hero gets out and opens the door for me, we get out and Hero walks at the back of me with his two hands on my arms rushing me inside. We get inside soaked and the pharmacy is actually kinda big, it doesn't look that small like it looks on the outside. Hero disappears and walks into another room while I talk to the pharmacist alone.
''How can I help you?'' the woman asks.
''Uhm... I was wondering what kind of birth control pills you have'' I say and bend my head down a bit
''Which one were you looking for?''
''Uhm what's the best one you have?''
''We have the mini pill, combination pill, and the combo pill but you must know the difference and which one will be right for you''
She goes on and explains all the types, what they contain if they are good for me and most of all the side effects. After about almost a half an hour I finally decide on getting a combination birth control pill with high estrogen which she recommends. I cash for it and thank her and she said if I'm feeling sick or the side effects are intense comeback and let her know. I walk into the other room to look for Hero and I stop in my tracks when I see him talking to two familiar people Dash and Livia then someone bumps into me making me turn around.
''Oh sorry Sia didn't see you there'' Brooke says from behind me.
''Come let's go see what the others are doing'' she says and leads me to them.
''Look who I found, Hero you didn't tell me Sia was here'' Brooke sneers and everyone looks at me awkwardly.
''We should get going'' Hero says and they all share a look indicating something that I can't decipher. What was that?
''Actually Sia you should really come to the party on Friday, it's gonna be wild'' Livia says and Brooke and her both chuckle.
''No she's busy'' Hero answers for me and he glares at them.
''No actually I'm not, is it at the same cabin?'' I ask.
''Yeah and this time don't leave so early, the later it is the wilder it gets'' they laugh.
''Are you going?'' I ask Hero and he says 'yeah' but he looks mad.
''Great looks like it's gonna be a party'' Brooke says and my phone rings and I excuse myself and walk out f the room to the front to take it, it's my mom.
''Hey mom'' I answer.
''Sia I have been calling you and texting you for the last week and more and you don't even pick up, I told you to keep in contact with me. I was getting worried'' she starts off.
''Sorry mom but we had to turn our phones off for a little while because it was distracting most of the other interns''
''Oh okay. What did you do today? Nelson has been more worried than I am''
''Uhm we're about to get our next assignment tomorrow''
''I heard it's having a lot of rain tonight in Escondido so make sure and stay in the tent at all times''
''Ok thanks mom for calling but I've gotta go, I call you tomorrow'' I tell her.
''Okay love you''
''Love you too'' I say and hang up.
I walk back into the room where Hero and his friends are. I stand at the side far away from them and observe Hero and Brooke for a minute while Livia and Dash and cashing for drinks.
Brooke has her hand on Hero's arm and his twirling her hair with her fingers. They are both looking at each other then Hero's eyes leave hers and move down to her low cleavage exposing her breasts. Her breasts are practically spilling out of her low bra and a tank top and Hero's eyes can't seem to leave that area while she moves in closer to him. hero just stands there while she moves closer to him and continues to touch his arm.
His eyes finally meet mine and he moves away from her and rushes over to me. He grabs my arm and pulls me all the way out of the pharmacy and under a shed in the carpark.
''What the hell do you think you're doing?'' He roughly says.
''I should ask you the same question''
''You're not going to that party and that's the end of it''
''Why because you don't want me to see the way you act around your friends''
''Fuck no, you are not going and I will make sure of it''
''You can't tell me what to do if I wanna go to the party I will'' I snap.
''I saw the way you were looking at her why don't you go with her? You couldn't take your eyes off of her chest'' I say and I hear the door open and they all walk out past us.
''Gosh she's so sexy, I imagine the taste of her breasts every night'' He snaps and his eyes are dark and I feel like crying but anger takes over my saddness. He just said that to make me mad.
''Then if you want her so bad then why don't you go with her, I'm sure she's as desperate as you are'' I say and his fists are clenched at his sides. He walks up closer to me and corners me against the wall while he slams his hand on the wall above my head and he looks me dead in the eye.
''I'm not desperate you are. You're a stubborn pathetic stupid little girl whose life is perfect with everything handed to you. You were looking for excitement, spice outside what your square of a boyfriend couldn't give you, I just decided to fill your excitement to just let you get the experience what you've been longing for but believe me I didn't enjoy one bit. You have nothing that I want and never will you ever have but I just did it to give you the experience you've wanted for a long time because let's face it, he wouldn't have even pushed it in the right hole. Girls throw themselves at me and I fuck all of them unlike you no one wants you and nor will anyone ever will'' He says and looks me once more in the eye before he heads to his car.
''Where are you going?'' I ask him and he doesn't answer but opens the door.
''You can't just leave me here'' I say and he gets in and drives off leaving me cold, alone and wet in the rain.
He will come back for me like he did last time. He will be back soon, please let him come back now.
After about 10 minutes he doesn't return and I begin to panic.
I close my eyes and tears fall down my face. How will I get back to the tents I have no one to call without questions arising of how I got here. I see a car pull up and the people look familiar, oh god, why does it have to be them. Dash, Brooke, and Livia come back, but why didn't they leave?
''Sia you okay?'' Dash asks me.
''Yeah'' I respond.
''You don't look fine, where's Hero?''
''He left''
''He left you here?'' he asks and I nod.
''Do you need a ride back? We were going back to the cabin''
''No thanks, I'll take a cab'' I tell him, he must be the nicest one in the group. I don't even know where to get a cab. The last thing I would want right now is to ride in a car with Brooke, Livia, and Dash but I actually have no choice because I would be stuck out here all night.
He walks inside and comes back out with a bag.
''Dash, uhm actually can I have a ride?'' I ask and he says yeah and leads me to the car.
''Woah Sia you don't look too good, where's Hero?'' Livia asks.
''He left''
''So you just left you here? What'd you do to make him mad?''
''Nothing he gets mad at everything, even when it isn't my fault he still takes it out on me'' I admit.
''What'd he say?'' Brooke asks. Why is she trying to make small talk with me?
''Just hurtful stuff'' I say not wanting to talk about it.
The drive is long with Brooke and Livia only asking me questions about Hero and me.
