Impractically Inseparable

Shane (18)

Haley's POV

I woke up to the sound of the shower running and I rubbed my eyes. I glanced at the clock on the night stand next to Sal's bed and saw that it was eleven. I slowly sat up and heard the shower turn off. Sal walked in, wearing just a towel and he looked at me. "Oh good you're awake. You need to get ready," he sweetly said. Instead of getting up, I flopped back down on the bed with the comforter hiding my face. I heard Sal walking over and he pulled the comforter away from my face. I groaned and rolled over. He chuckled and pulled me by the arm. I grabbed onto the mattress and he gave up. I smirked at him and pulled him onto the bed. "What do you think you're doing?" He chuckled. "Being cherubic," I smiled remembering that vocabulary word from ninth grade. "What's that mean?" I rolled my eyes and shoved Sal lightly. "It means having child like behavior." "In that case, you're being very cherubic," he snickered while kissing me.

Thirty minutes later

I was breathing heavily and rolled over to look at Sal. He smiled at me and rubbed my bare skin. I shivered at his touch and he pulled me closer. "You know, as much as I loved having sex with you, I think we're moving too fast," I whispered to him while playing with his fingers. I was so nervous for what he was going to say. "I don't disagree with you, but I wouldn't take it back," his voice vibrated. "I wouldn't either; I'm glad that my first time was with someone I love," I murmured. "But-" I cut him off, "I didn't love Shane and it was unwillingly. He raped me. I don't count it. I count you as my first and I want to count you as my last." Sal was silent for a few minutes but then hummed in response. He started getting up but I pulled his arm back.

"We have to get up. I need to be at set in thirty minutes." "Fine!" I groaned. "Ha! Point me! Sal: one, Haley: one!" "Fuck!" I yelled while walking past him. I caught him looking at me and asked, "Like what you see?" He nodded and I laughed, "Get dressed." I pulled out a red flannel, black jeans, and my black converse. I quickly got dressed, brushed my hair, then turned around to see Sal wearing the same thing as me.

I coughed and he turned around. He looked me up and down, then fell on the floor laughing. "I don't find it funny but okay." I grabbed my toothbrush and went to brush my teeth. On the way to the bathroom I heard Rose laughing down the hall. I walked to the living room and saw she was texting someone. "Who ya texting?" She quickly turned around and smirked. "Oh, nobody. Who where you fucking?" I flipped her off and walked back to the bathroom.

I quickly brushed my teeth and threw my toothbrush in my suitcase. Sal, Rose, and I got in his car and drove to set. When we got there, everyone else was already there. I got out and walked to Kerri and Bessy. We linked arms and went to get Rose. We then started walking off to wherever while the guys filmed. Sal quickly pecked me on the lips and ran to the guys. The girls smiled at me and I shook my head. "Come on let's go play truth or dare," Kerri said while dragging us to the fountain. I could see the guys from here and I quickly looked away. We started the game and I wish we hadn't.

An hour later

"Kerri, truth or dare?" Rose asked. "Truth." I knew exactly where this was going and I wish it didn't. "Did you sleep with my brother?" She asked. Kerri looked confident as she answered, "Yes." "You bitch!" Rose yelled. Rose went to throw a punch, but I stepped in between them. "Don't do it!" "Haley move!" Rose flatly said. I shook my head. Suddenly I felt a fist come in-contact with my face and I stumbled backwards. I looked up to see Rosalie shaking her hand out and I went after her. "You fucking bitch!" I yelled. I could feel blood come from my lip and my right eye swell. Bessy blocked me from going after Rosalie and I quickly turned around. I walked the other way fast while covering the right side of my face.

I heard running behind me and heavy breathing. "Haley, are you okay?" I turned around sharply and glared at Kerri, "Do you really have the fucking gall to ask that? You shouldn't have said yes to that fucking question!" I then turned back around, leaving Kerri standing in the crowd. I kept my head down until I ran into someone. I glanced up and saw it was Joe. I pulled my hood up of my flannel and was about to walk around Joe, but he caught my arm. "Haley? What's wrong?" I looked around and saw cameras. "I can't tell you in front of the cameras." Joe pulled me to an area without the cameras and tilted my head up. "Tell me," he demanded. "Turn your earpiece off," I whispered. He sighed, but did it. I finally looked up and his eyes widened. "Who the fuck did this?" "Rosalie," was all I said. "You have to tell Sal." I started shaking my head fast, "No, I can't and neither can you!" Joe sighed and I glanced behind him to see one person I never wanted to see again. Shane.

"Haley, you have..." He trailed off when he saw I wasn't listening. He turned around and saw where I was looking. "Is that?" I quickly nodded and he stood in front of me when Shane started walking to me. "When I tell you to run, you run, okay?" I nodded and gulped. Once Shane was about twenty feet away Joe yelled, "Run!" I quickly took off and tried to remember how to get to Sal's house. I could feel my heart in my throat and I was about to fall from exhaustion. I heard footsteps running behind me and that made me speed up.

"Haley! Get back here! You're mine!" I could feel tears in my eyes and pushed myself to go faster. I suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground. Shane slowed down and grabbed my wrist harshly. He yanked me up and I yelped in pain. Tears stung my eyes and started to fall onto my cheeks. "Let her go!" I heard Sal say. He couldn't see my face because Shane was blocking me, but if he did, he would think Shane did it.

"Who are you? The police?" Shane laughed. He gripped my wrist tighter and I cried out. I could see Sal get madder and try to go after Shane, but Q held him back. Joe and Murr pulled Shane off of me and I fell to the ground. Sal ran to me and lifted my face up. Once he saw the right side of my face, he stood up and was about to punch Shane. "Sal! He didn't do it! Rosalie did." Sal looked shocked, but said, "He broke your wrist and hurt you." Q pushed Sal to me and Sal carefully picked me up. I hid my face in his chest and he whispered little things to me. God, all I do is cause pain and ruin lives. I shouldn't exist at all.
