The Beginning of My Actual Life'
~Chapter 27 'I'm Taking A Raincheck'
'My birthday?? But I- its not, I-'
'Nope definitely is' said Chaz as I looked at all the smiling faces around me.
'Happy Birthday' Jade said handing me the long awkward shaped parcel.
'Um I uh thanks' I replied holding it awkwardly.
'You don't even know what it is yet, open it!' She was laughing. I hesitated looking at it.
'You okay babe?' I turned to Chaz he looked worried.
'Um yeah, no- yes I just never really, I don't get presents on my birthday or, or even a birthday. I had kinda forgotten when it was a long time ago.' I said frowning. My eyes started watering as I looked at them, Mike I've only seen a few times, Another person I've just met and Chaz all seeming so honest and positive. Then there's me like a dark pit drowning in my self only to make them worry and it would be my fault if I told them why. Just like it was my fault what happened. Mike and Jade hardly know me yet they are showing me more kindness than I deserve. I have known Chaz over half a year even if most of it was from a hospital bed and trust him completely but I haven't told him. I think I should but I don't want to. Even as I thought this he came over to my side and held me steady concern etched into his face.
'H-hey Chester I need to talk to you for a sec alone, sorry guys' I couldn't even look at any of then as Chaz picked me up and helped me walk upstairs. He waited until we were in his/our room closing the door before asking 'What's wrong? you know you can trust me.'
I started crying 'that's the problem, I would trust you with my life but you don't know enough about me, if you did then you definitely wouldn't trust me'
'Everyone makes mistakes baby its how you handle them and move on, I trust you just the same no matter what you've done'
'But y-you don't even know what it is yet'
'Hey, look at me'
I couldn't so I just sat there on the edge of the bed staring down at my lap.
'Hey, please look at me'
He put one hand under my chin and lifted up my face. A single tear fell down my cheek as I looked into his warm eyes.
'Nothing you could say will make me think any differently of you. Every person deserves a second chance and what ever you did, whoever you were, your not that person anymore, you're my amazing girlfriend and I won't let any of that come between us. He held up my hand entwining his through it looking from our hands to me. 'Now, who are you?'
'I-I'm Skye Rogers..'
'And?'
'And I'm Chester Bennington's girlfriend'
He coughed looking into his lap.
'Fine. I'm Chester Bennington's amazing girlfriend' I said rolling my eyes at the word amazing.
'That you are' He smiled at me pushing me down on the bed and slowly kissing me.
I giggled 'Your bestfriend is downstairs and your perfectly okay with leaving him waiting so you can kiss me.'
'Hmm pretty much' he started pulling his shirt off.
'C'mon baby we've got visitors' I murmured into his soft lips putting my hands on his to stop him from taking his shirt off completely.
'Fine but I'm taking a rain check' he smirked at me wiping under my eyes with his thumb.
'You are beautiful, its your birthday and you're going to celebrate it' he stated.
'You know im gonna ask you how you knew it was today, later?'
'Yup gives me long enough to come up with an excuse' He grinned opening the door for me. I gave him a meaningful stare, took a deep breath and held his hand as we walked down the steps.
'I'm really sorry guys, I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for waiting.'
'That's alright but you know if you'd taken much longer I would've had to believe Chaz was trying to do things and ditching us two down here.' Mike laughed. Chaz and I shared a look smiling at each other. I think Mike saw it coz he caught my eye and smiled.
'Like you guys didn't try anything while we were upstairs, you should've heard Mikey the other day saying about how he couldn't keep his hands off you' Chester countered smiling towards Jade.
Me and Jade were both blushing and looking at the floor. The guys were laughing their heads off at our awkwardness.
I digged my elbow into Chaz's ribs and he lightly shoved me sideways. I shoved him back trying to keep a straight face but ended up laughing too.
I looked up and Jade had taken Mike's hat off the bench and was waving it over the bin. Now we were all laughing along with Mike as he dared her to drop it not thinking she would. Mike's face when Jade let go of his hat was priceless even after she caught it a few centimetres above the bin and threw it to him. He held up it up as if it was Simba from the Lion King and slow marched it to the bench.
'These presents aren't gonna unwrap themselves and there's only one birthday girl I know of 'He said smiling and handing me back the still wrapped present.
I picked it up and shook it, didn't make a sound. I tapped it and it was definitely solid.There were four points sticking out of the shape and I started getting an idea of what it is, I ripped it open.
'OH MY FREAKING TROLL'S BEARD MIIIIKE!!' I ran over to him and jumped on him he laughed wrapping his arms around me. I wrapped my legs around him to balance myself burying my face into his chest. I thought you would like it. 'LIKE IT? I LOVE IT!!' I could hear Chaz and Jade laughing at my reaction somewhere behind and to the side of me. I let go of Mike and ran over to Jade giving her a hug too. 'THANKS HEAPS'
'Haha that's alright, Mike chose it, I just helped with the design being a bit of a tomboy myself.'
'IT'S AWESOME!' I ran over to my previously discarded present and ran a hand over it. I flipped it over where it had 'Uncontrollable' written in messy graffiti across the underside of my new skateboard lightly running my hand over it. 'I can't wait to try it out, I've never had one of my own could- could you guys teach me?' I looked up them.
It was Chaz that spoke up. 'Why of course, it would be my pleasure my lady.' He said grinning and taking my free hand.
'Just to let you know, we all ride and we're pretty competitive so Chaz has quite a challenge to teach you before our next competition.'
'We'll set it back a few weeks so you have more time to learn, can't wait to see you make your first stack at the skatepark' Mike said laughing everyone joined in including me. I'm not afraid of stacking I've got heaps of scars from falling out trees, jumping bikes and ...-'
'Jumping bikes? how could such an innocent person manage that?' Mike asked.
Chaz coughed and it sounded suspiciously like not so innocent.
'Skye's right about the scars I've seen them' he stated happily.
'Some of them' I added in winking at him.
He tried saying something as the proud look on his face disappeared as quickly as it had come leaving him unable to string a sentence together.
We were all laughing when he got up and brand back a little parcel from in the fruitbowl. Wow original hiding place I thought to myself and as he came closer to me I could tell he wrapped it himself. There was so much stickytape the original wrapping was distorted.
'Nice wrapping skills Chester' laughed Jade and we all joined in.
'Happy Birthday baby he said kissing me, no not on the cheek or forehead as would be appropriate with the fact there were other people in the room but full on kissed me on the lips. I heard the stickytape and wrapping-ripping behind me and heard something open. He kept the kiss going I forgot there were other people in the room. Then a felt a cold sensation around my neck. He let me go and I looked down to see what the design on my necklace was...
*Hey guys I'm probably not your fav person in the world right now but anyways I finished it. I had all the ideas just stringing them together T_T
