Another Cog in the Murder Machine

I walk to my car with Brayden trailing behind me. I try to think of something to say on the way to her house but the only words exchanged were directions to her house. I pull up in the empty driveway and glance over at her. I want to kiss her so bad, but I can't work up the nerve.
What if she doesn't want to kiss me, and she ends up hating me?
Just do it, Frank.
I turn to her just as she says goodbye and gets out.
"Bye," is all I manage to get out along with a small wave
I'll do it eventually.

*next day*

I walk down the stairs and I'm greeted by my mom, who kisses me on the cheek before leaving for work. I wipe my cheek and continue my journey to the kitchen grabbing some cereal, followed by the last of the milk. Mom will have to buy some more. I live with just my mom, no siblings or anything. My mom works most of the day so I'm usually alone, except for at school and band practices on the weekend. I'm in a band with my friends and we don't have a name yet, or any songs, so we kinda just hang out and mess around. I'd say we're pretty good, though, I should invite Brayden sometime. Brayden. Man, I can't stop thinking about her. I'm gonna kiss her one if these days, I have to. Even the guys think I should, they don't know her, though, because I haven't told who she is. If I do they'll ruin it, like the idiots they are. I get ready and head for school, the place I wish I could escape. I get to see Brayden, though. So I guess it's not ALL bad.

I sit next to Brayden on the table outside the school during lunch. She hasn't talked much today which is normal, so I keep talking anyway. I'm in the middle of telling her a story when I get cutoff by lips pressing against mine. After a second I kiss back and smile on the inside.

*Brayden's POV*

I sit on the table next to Frank and listen to him talk while simultaneously watching my breath in the cold air.
In the middle of his story I turn to him and press my lips against his before I can chicken out. He kisses back after a second and I mentally give a small sigh of relief before pulling away. He looks at me a little shocked and I can't help but blush a little bit. I open my mouth to talk but he stops me with his lips, softly crashing into mine, causing what feels like a volcanic eruption in my stomach to replace the butterflies. I told myself I wouldn't get feelings for him because he's just going to leave me like everyone else, but I can't help it. He's perfect. He parts his lips slightly and I do the same, since I don't really know what I'm doing considering this is my first time kissing. We pull away a minute or two later and I look away before being pulled into a hug. I give in and hug him back quickly when he whispers in my ear,
"let's ditch today."
I nod and grab my stuff, following him away from the school.

*Frank's POV (again)*

I snake my arm around her waist as we walk away from the school, not making much conversation on the way to my house. I unlock the door and she follows me in, looking around at the small space. I lead her into the living room and pull her down onto the couch, bringing her as close to me as possible and pressing my lips against hers. I brush my hand against her arm and see her exposed wrist in the corner of my eye. I gasp and grab her hand, her face full of fear as I push up the sleeve of her jacket. Covering her wrist I see cuts and scars, some look old while others are obviously fresh. I look her in the eye and don't even say anything, I just hug her. I stand up and pull down my pants exposing my thighs, I laugh slightly at her obvious discomfort. She looks at my thighs showing the small white lines that used to bring me comfort.

"You cut?" She gasped as I pull my pants back up.

"I used to," I sit next to her and pull her close.

"I want to help you stop to," I whisper, "will you be my girlfriend?"

She nods in response and I pull her close, and we stay like that for a while before kissing again. We hang out and get to know each other for the rest of the day, I smile as she begins to open up to me. She obviously doesn't tell me everything and I understand that, I don't expect her too.
I walk her home and smile the whole way back to my own house. I walk straight up to my room and lie in bed the remainder of the day until I fall into a deep sleep.

Notes
