Back Where it all Started

Why Me?

"Sophia."
I heard my name being called but wasn't sure if I was still dreaming or not.
"Sophia get up."
I groaned, no I was hearing my name actually being called.
"Come on Soph."
I heard Soph and knew it was my dad.
I turned over and opened my eyes seeing my mom and dad standing over me.
"Oh my god! What happened to your face sweetie?"
My mom gasped and came to my level on the bed.
My eyes got big remembering what happened to me earlier today.
Brian slapped me and gave me the worst bruise on my cheek.
I had to think of quick lie so I said the first thing that popped up.
"Oh nothing, just hit myself while opening my locker."
My parents looked at me crazy.
"What, like you've never accidentally hit yourself."
I looked at my dad and he just shrugged.
"Maybe like once or twice."
We both laughed and my mom was still looking kind of lost.
"I'm okay mom, I'll just cover it up with make up."
She sighed and got up.
"What time is it? I thought you guys said late afternoon."
"It is late afternoon. It's 4:45, almost 5:00."
My eyes widened. I slept that long.
"Oh well, how was your business trip?"
I sat up in my bed and looked at them.
"It went well, same shit different place."
I rolled my eyes at my dad, he acted like such a teenager sometimes.
"Alright dad."
"Anyways honey, we need you to get ready, we have to be next door by 6:00."
"Right, the dinner."
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Don't be so disappointed, this will be fun. You get to see your childhood friend whom I'm sure has been treating you well since we were away right?"
Oh just peachy.
I nodded,"Well, come on and don't forget to cover that bruise."
My mom walked out and I looked at my dad.
"I mean is it necessary that I have to go?"
I whined and he sighed.
"Unfortunately yes, it would be nice if you would come and speak to our old friends, but your mother is overreacting just a little. But just do this for your mother, okay?"
I sighed and nodded.
He walked out and  I went to take a shower.

I was ready just in time to leave and go next door.
I'm sure it looks like I have a cake face because of how much foundation I had to use just to cover this one bruise.
Thanks Brian.
I walked down stairs and we headed out the door.
We walked next door and knocked.
It was my mom and dad in the front and me in the back.
They opened the door after a minute and all of them greeted us.
It was three of them just like us except they had an asshole of a son and not a nice daughter.
"Ah, Martha! It's so nice to see you!"
Amy, Brian's mom, greeted my mom with a hug.
"And Steven looking handsome as ever."
She hugged my dad and my dad hugged Brad, Brian's dad, and my mom hugged him also.
"Don't tell me this is Sophia. She is so gorgeous!"
I smiled at her compliment and she also gave me a hug and so did Brad.
"Brian don't be shy."
Brian stepped out and looked right at me and then smiled and gave my mom a hug and dad a hand shake.
He then came up to me and just stared at my face.
I guess he was looking for a bruise.
He then hugged me out of no where and it took me a second to hug back but I did so they wouldn't think anything suspicious.
"Alright lets go and get settled in. Martha why don't you come and help me get finished up and Brad and Steven can go watch the game. Oh and Sophia and Brian can go up stairs to his room and catch up if they would like?"
She smiled at me and I widened my eyes.
"Um, would it be okay if I-"
"Actually that would be great," He turned and looked at me,"Lets go catch up some more Sophia."
I looked up at him and his expression told me not to deny his offer.
"Great! Come on Martha May!"
My mom rolled her eyes playfully and followed her into the kitchen while my dad went into the living room with Brad and Brian took my arm and pulled me up stairs to his room.
I wanted so badly to just yell out for someone to help me already but I decided against it.
We entered his room and he pulled me in front of him and closed the door behind him.
He had a pretty nice room for him to be a boy.
It was nicely organized and clean and smelled like some type of cologne.
"So, lets catch up."
He came up behind me and turned me around and put his hands on my hips.
"I know exactly what we could catch up on."
He smirked at me and tried to get out of his grip.
He picked me up and threw me on his bed.
I tried to get back off but he climbed on top of me.
"Get off of me!"
He pinned my arms down by one hand and started feeling me up.
"No, please don't this, Brian I will do anything you want but please don't do this."
I had on a dress and it was easy for him to get his hands on my underwear.
"Anything?"
He looked up at me and raised his brow.
"Yes anything! Get off me!"
"If you'll do anything then you will do this."
He smirked and went back to putting his hands under my dress.
"Please Brian don't do this while all the parents are here."
"Well, why don't we go and get a room down the street?"
"No!"
I tried kicking my legs around but that only made my dress ride up even more.
"Sophia struggling won't help."
Tears started to form in my eyes.
"I said I'll do anything for you not to do this to me."
"Well, what is anything to you?"
"I don't know! Just don't do this!"
I wanted so badly to get away from him and run down stairs and beg to go home.
"Well, I gotta a suggestion."
I looked up at him and he looked down at me.
"Be my girlfriend."
I widened my eyes at him.
"No...n-no, NO! I'm not gonna be your girlfriend."
"You said anything."
He started to feel up my dress again.
"No, stop."
He stopped and looked at me.
"Why do you want me as your girlfriend?Don't you have all the girls all over you? And you don't even like me!"
"I like you, yes I admitted it, I like you. I have since we were younger but I just never showed it and no, but yes all the girls want me and about that Connor dude, don't ever talk to him again."
I looked at him shocked and confused and angry all at the same time.
"You don't tell me who I can and can't talk to."
"As your boyfriend I can."
"No! I can't do it! Get off me, I wanna go down stairs."
"You don't do it you know where it's gonna end up leading too."
He taunted me.
I knew he was right and I didn't wanna get raped by him. I knew he would do it.
"Fine."
"So do we have that clear."
He leaned over me towards my ear.
I nodded and he kissed my ear.
"But I guess we can wait until we have sex right?"
He sat up and winked and got up off the bed.
"Come on. I'm sure the food is almost ready."
He walked out the door and I stayed there on the bed.
I can't believe he talked me into being his girlfriend. Why would I ever agree to something so stupid and he said that he likes me. I find that very hard to believe. If he did, what boy shows his feelings for a girl that he likes by hurting her. And then Connor. He is gonna be the most heart broken. I'm heart broken just thinking about it. I really liked him.
I got up after thinking hard about what just happened and went down stairs.
Sure enough the food was ready and we all sat at the table.
It was me and Brian on one side of the table, My mom and dad on the other side and Amy and Brad on the ends.
The dinner wasn't as bad.
All they talked about was how we moved from different places and that this one is definitely permanate  for now.
They also talked about me and asked if I was doing well in school and in life.
Well, I was until I got here.
Brian mentioned that he just asked me to be his girlfriend and held my hand and lifted it above the table for everyone to see.
They all smiled and said the usual oh I knew this was gonna happen and saw it coming.
Then my dad brought up the awkward sex talk and I stopped him before he could get into more detail about it.
They talked some more while I just sat there and played with my food.
Once we were done, my mom helped Amy clean up while my dad and Brad talked more about their jobs and Brian took me outside to talk.
"So tomorrow morning I will be in front of your house to take you to school."
He took my hand and held it.
As much as I wanted to pull away, I restrained myself from doing it.
"Okay Brian."
"Don't try anything tomorrow either."
He looked at me with a stern look.
I nodded and looked down.
He lifted my chin back up and tried to kiss me but I pulled away.
"No, I haven't-"
"Had your first kiss? That's alright, that's what boyfriends are for."
He took my chin again and attempted to kiss me again but I pulled away.
He sighed and put his hands up.
"Okay, so not tonight? Fine, but tomorrow when I try to kiss you, you better not pull away."
He caressed my cheek but his tone was very stern and I knew that if I tried what I pulled tonight that I would have a whole new bruise.
My parents came outside and we walked back to the house and all got settled for bed.
I ended up crying and wishing that my parents never moved back here.
Why me? Why did he have to be our neighbor?
I kept questioning things in my head and just fell asleep crying.
