Girl I Know

Chapter 12

I groaned as I realized I was on the hard floor. My neck and back cracked as I moved but I couldn’t get up. There was a weight on my waist and my eyes shot open. It was pitch black and I let my eyes adjust to the lack of light. I think it was like 3:32 I couldn’t read my watch that accurate. My den began too fade into view and I saw Jimmy and Leana passed out on the couch. Val passed out on Lacey, Zacky passed out next to his enemy DDR machine, Johnny was cuddled with a JD bottle in hand. I looked to my left and I saw Brian. His button nose and his full lips half parted letting air out, which fanned on my face. He looked so perfect, and kissable. However I had to pee and his hold on me would not allow that.

“Brian…” I whispered nudging him and he didn’t move. I couldn’t budge the vise grip he had on me.

“Briiaan!” I said whining louder. I smacked his face lightly and his eyes fluttered a bit, he was waking up. I pinched his nose so he couldn’t breathe and he shot awake.

“What the…fuck…M?” He asked seeing me and getting confused.

“Get off dude!” I said wiggling cause I had to fucking GO!

“Damn…sorry.” He said looking a little disorientated before he immediately let go of me and I got up and sprinted to the bathroom hearing my back and neck crack as I ran. When I got back into the room, my bladder wasn’t screaming at me and Brian was awake. I don’t think he had much of a hangover because he just got up and got water.

“How’s your head Bri.” I ask, running my hands through my hair and blinking my droopy eyes a few times.

“It feels good waking up without a hangover for once.” He said smiling a little. That tiny smile sent my heart going.
“Good cause im tired of shoving tylenol down your throat.” I laughed he mockingly rolled his eyes and groaned.

“Yes mom.” Before one of his trademark smirks appeared on his face. We walked up the stairs as we were going to our rooms.

“Fuck you.” I say pinching the monster on his arm that was dissecting and torturing all the others.

“That’s a mean monster Bri-Bri.” I pout and he checks out his arm.

“He’s sexy. Id tap that.” He said making the attempt to lick it and I giggled loudly.

“Im gonna go to bed, that’s just the fuckin bottom line.” He said walking down the hall after I stopped at my doorway.

“Same here dude, I cant though. I hate when I wake up and then after being awake it takes me like 5 years to fall back asleep.”

“C’mere.” He said walking into his room and waving his hand for me to come. What? What did he want me for? I obeyed nonetheless and walked into his room with a confused expression. When I walked in, Brian was tucked under the sheets, pulling the covers up just enough so you could see his eyes and that he was making a funny face.

“We goin’ night night!” He said in a high voice and I laughed having to lean against the door.

“Brian you idiot!” I indulged walking over and sitting on his bed. He pulled me over and he tucked me under his arm like Zacky used to when I was little.

“I used to do that when you were a kid, you would fall asleep like that.” He said snapping his fingers. I cuddled into his chest and smiled. I could feel myself getting fuzzy just by being in his arms. He kissed my hair like he always does.

“Goodnight kid.” He murmured.

“Night Bri-Bri.” I said softly.

Kid, cause that’s all I’ll ever be to you…

----

“M WHY ARE YOU IN BRIAN’S BED!” Zacky yelled at 12 pm. The bunch had just woken up, and Zacky was hungover, cranky and hungry. I got out of the bed leaving Brian.

“ I couldn’t sleep, so I went to sleep in here like you and Bri used to do when I was a wee person.” I said making a small amount with my fingers. He nodded and leaned on me.

“Haha that’s about the size of Matt’s dick.” Brian mumbled from the bed laughing.

“So you would have to have seen it before.” I said.

“No, but he also didn’t deny it!” he pointed out and we all looked at Matt.

“Hey! Ask Val.” He smirked and I swatted my hands around in the air signaling an over share.

“MATT!” I whine and he laughs.

“Curie?” Zacky cooed, kissing ass harder than ever before calling me by my cute nickname only select people are allowed to call me.

“Yes Zacky-poo?” I mimicked his tone. He hugged me tight and asked nicely.

“Can you make Zacky Poo breakfast? He wants pancakes!” He said childishly trying to lick my cheek.

“Fine…” I caved. I went into the kitchen and began taking out eggs and bacon and toast and other breakfast items. I needed a lot because one, I needed to make some for all of the guys and girls, and two Zacky was a reason within himself.

I mixed the pancake mix and put eggs and egg stuff in the blender so I didn’t have to mix it by hand. The kitchen was a busy place as the group began to wake up.

“OH FUCK!” Jimmy yelled from the den and I could hear bottles rolling around. Men…

I poured the batter in the pan and went to go make the eggs on a different burner.

“I smell…FOOD!” I heard Johnny squeal and I heard footsteps scurry up the stairs. I wonder when his hangover will hit him. As soon as he came up stairs he held his head and started groaning in pain.

“Whoa, slow down there buddy.” I said laughing.
“M my head hurts!” He groaned and I huffed.

“Johnny im not your mom go get some meds.” I said. I slaved away on a hot stove making them breakfast and they expect me to do everything else! Well maybe I was almost their moms but hey its just being nice on my part.Besides id be more than happy to do whatever Brian wants, by all means necessary.

After about half an hour I was like Iron Chef status and I had breakfast on the table with orange juice and chocolate milk cause I like that stuff.

“Foods ready.” I call tiredly, sitting down in front of my plate and chowing down on my breakfast.

“OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!” Zacky came running with Jimmy.

“Oh my god I love your pancakes!” Val said smiling with her mouth full.

“Can I keep you as my personal chef forever.” Brian said also with his mouthful.

Hell yeah you can keep me, tied to your bed! I was shocked at my own thought. What the fuck was that?

You know you would want that. I sure do. Im pretty sure I had a weird expression on my face and Zacky noticed. He made a face at me and I shook it off.

“Sorry Bri but don’t get used to this. I already have Zacky and his gluttonous self.” I said pointing to my brother.

“HEY!” He mumbled with pancake sticking out of his mouth.

“Chew and swallow idiot.” I say laughing and he gives me a funny face. The breakfast was soon gone as the morning progressed, and I sure as hell wasn’t washing the dishes.

“That was awesome.” Jimmy said patting his belly like a drum.

“So where are you guys taking me?” I ask casually and they all look at me. I crossed my arms and cocked my hip.

“I made you losers breakfast!” I said smirking.

“Fuck! I knew this was too good to last!” Brian threw his arms up playfully. Just you wait Brian, ill get cha.

“Just chill guys I just wanna go to the Beach!” I said and they agreed. Val darted her eyes to me and I looked at Val and Lacey and Leana. We smiled and we all ran upstairs giggling and laughing.

“So M what are you gonna wear?” Val asked going through my closet along with Lacey and Leana. Im pretty sure they kept some of their bathing suits in my closet just in case of predicaments like these.

“I love my monokinis.” I said smiling.

“I think you should wear a sexy suit! You will have guys at your feet!” Leana said bumping my hip.

“Lea im basically a baby.” I said laughing.

“Pshh! You look like you could almost be one of us!” Lacey agreed and I rolled my eyes.

“Besides Brian’s single now.” Val said casually and Lacey and Leana looked shocked. So did I.

“You like Brian?” Leana asked and I made a squeak hiding my face in my pillow.

“Shh.Y-yeah…” I said blushing a bit still hiding in the pillow.

“You do know he’s seven years older than you right?” Lacey said and I groaned. Stop reminding me!

“ Girl, why didn’t you tell us. That’s great!” Leana said and the girls all smiled agreeing.

“W-what?” I ask looking up at their smiling faces.

“Honey that’s great! Now I know I’d rather see you with Brian than Michelle. I know she’s Val’s sister and all but the way you two are best friends is just so much cuter and I can see you two so much happier with each other.” Leana said sitting next to me and putting her arm around my shoulder.

“You don’t care that im 18?” I ask surprised

“Well hun, It would be better to wait until you are a little older but I wouldn’t mind at all.”

“You guys are seriously the best” I said laughing.

“It’s just a crush though I don’t think its that serious.” I said covering it up a bit. Leana and Lacey just nodded in understanding but Val gave me that knowing look. It is true, Val knows all…

“Lets get dressed girlie.” Lacey said pulling me up and pushing me into my closet, laughing on the way.

---

“MERCURY SYLVER BAKER PUT ON SOME FUCKING CLOTHES NOW!” Zacky yelled at me once we got to the beach and saw my bathing suit. Hey Zack don’t get mad at me, get mad at Val over here.

“Val made me wear it!” I shouted and he glared at Val.

“Well put on some clothes, I don’t want men staring at you like you’re a piece of meat.” He said harshly and Val rolled her eyes.

“She looks fine!” Leana argued.

“I second that!” Jimmy yelled and Leana laughed. Zacky looked at him and he put his arms up in defense.

“Hey! Im just agreeing with my wife! But looks nice, in a completely non perverted way.” Jimmy said nodding

“She looks like a stripper!” Hey! Pillsbury dough boy do not get me started on your ass!

“HEY!” Val and I yelled. I felt really ugly now. Brian probably doesn’t want to see my ugly self either since he completely avoided visual contact with me. I reached for the shirt that was nearest to me and put it on. This was a bad idea, this is why I like my monokinis…

“That’s better.” Zacky said satisfied and Val, Lacey and Leana groaned. Gena was coming she was on her way here. I smelled the familiar scent of Brian even though he wasn’t near me. I looked down and saw I was wearing his black ‘Hustler’ shirt. Great.

“Guys!” I heard a familiar voice call. I turned around. I saw Gena walking down the beach and I got up and ran to her screaming,

“GEE!” She smiled before I hugged her tight.

“Hi Gee!” I said happily. I haven’t seen her in weeks!

“Hey cutie how are you! Why are you wearing Brian’s shirt?”

“Because Zacky was being a dick and said the suit Val gave me made me look like a stripper.” I said glaring at my brother. A frown appeared on Gena’s face. She grabbed my hand and walked authoritively towards Zack.

“Hey baby.” He said smirking, but the smirk faded away when he saw Gena’s face.

“Did you just call her a stripper?” I smirked at Zacky when he looked at me.

“No! I just said she looked like one! I don’t want my sister walking around like that!” He defended.

“That’s not any better!”

“She’s eighteen!”

“So?!”

“That’s the point! She’s 18 not 20!” Zacky retorted

“ Zacky I’ll kick your ass.” She threatened playfully a smirk sliding onto her face.

“I could take you.” He said smirking back. Gena crossed her arms.

“No sex.” She said simply and that was all it took. Zacky’s eyes widened and he had a shocked face.

“Noo!” Zacky whined and I doubled over in laughter as he followed her like a puppy.

“Zachary Baker you are one weak man.” I shouted after him.

“DUCK!” Jimmy shouted and I hit the deck as a foot ball came hurdling in our direction. Brian jumped and caught it and I almost drooled buckets. His swim trunks hung dangerously low on his hips and in his perfect form in the air, his muscles flexed and rippled under his skin, as small water droplets ran down it. Oh lord take me now…

I got up and dusted the sand off of his shirt.

“Hey M you wanna play!?” Matt yelled catching the football and I nodded.

“Who’s team am I on.”

“You can be with me and shortshit.” Matt said and I nodded. I faced Brian, Jimmy and Zacky.

“You losers are going DOWN!” I said pointing to the ground

“Bring it Baker!” Jimmy taunted.

“I’ts already been brung!” I shouted.

“Oh no she didn’t!” Brian yelled just before Matt called hike. I ran behind Jimmy and Zacky getting open. I held my hands up in the air and Matt spiraled the ball to me in a perfect throw. I caught that shit and hauled ass. Brian was right on my tail and I ran faster. I was so close when I felt a force on my back and I was brought to the floor. It didn’t hurt though I guess Brian cushioned the impact with his body. I was pinned under him. Iliked the view from here.

“You lose!” He yelled and I whined.

“Get off fatty.” I pushed his chest and he rolled off me.

“That’s not fair! Brian’s fat so he can just eat the fricken ball!” I cried and Brian looked offended. I smirked and got up playing for a half an hour more.

“Val! Lets go in the water! I wanna go look at the fishies!” I said childishly and she laughed going with me. I took off the shirt much to Zacky’s protest and went with her.

“Brian’s staring at you hardcore.” Val whispered in my ear. I blushed, my heart sped up and I felt all giddy inside because I could feel his gaze on me.

“ Look at you hypnotizing all these older men. Zacky must be having an aneurism.” She giggled and I laughed splashing her with water. She splashed me back and this sparked an all out water war.

“Chick fight!” I heard Johnny yell and there were multiple splashes in the water. I started diving underwater and I opened my eyes. The water was clear and I could see everyone’s legs. I could see Jimmy’s hands were where they shouldn’t be…just kidding…I think.

I swam up to Brian’s legs and I grabbed his foot and pulled him under. As he submerged I saw him slow down and he puffed up his cheeks he opened his eyes and looked at me wide eyed. I blew him a water kiss and he flipped me off. I blew the air out of my lungs before resurfacing laughing.

“That wasn’t funny! My life was in danger!” He cried dramatically and I rolled my eyes. I realized that even though I knew I was in the deep end, I was more far out than I shold be. I got scared and I started to kick my legs to stay at the surface.

“Whoa, whoa, its okay M. Its just the ocean.” He said holding me up.

“I know but I hate being far out. I’m scared some rogue wave is gonna come and take me away.” I said laughing a bit.

“Trust me M, you aren’t gonna get taken by some shady waves.” He laughed andbegan to swim back to shore. I could feel his muscles ripple beneath me as our bare skin touched. As we got nearer I saw the faces of the girls minus Gena who was busy flirting with my brother. They all had cute knowing looks on their faces. Val had that shit eating grin plastered on her face and I wanted to smack her. I got off and put my feet in the soft sand and curled my toes. As I was walking in the water, I stepped on either a piece of glass or a sharp ass shell that sliced the fuck out of my foot.

“OW!” I yelled as the water around me turned a murky red.

“Oh my god! Are you okay?” Matt picked me up and everyone saw there was a sharp shell sticking out of my foot.

“Ow that is a bitch!” I whined. I didn’t want to cry but tears pricked my eyes anyway, few rolled down my cheeks.

Brian picked up my foot and looked at it. It started to burn cause of all of the salt water and little sand grains in it.

“Oww! Brian quit playing doctor and just get it out!” I whined wiggling my foot a little but I just exacerbated the pain and I made a face. Brian took it gently and started to slide it out. It didn’t come smoothly though, I could feel it tearing with its jagged edges.

“Shit, that’s in pretty deep.” I kept making sounds of pain and discomfort and my foot was pretty bloody. Finally Brian pulled it out and my foot just ached now. Zacky came back with napkins and stuff and he put it on my foot applying mass amounts of pressure.

“Ow, Zacky why napkins.”

“Oh im sorry ill just pull that first aid kit out of my ass.” He said sarcastically and I smacked him.

“And you cant do anything because now im a crip. And its just wrong to hit crippled kids.” I said poking my tongue out. He flicked my nose and I growled.

“Imma shank you dude.” I said seriously and he just pressed harder on my foot. Jimmy came back with some lifeguard with a first aid kit and started to douse it in alcohol.

“You motherfucker! Warn a chick next time!” I hissed as I felt the burn lick at my wound. The lifeguard just continued to jerk off and put more on it before he used Neosporin and wrapped up my foot.

“Thanks dude.” I said. Just cause i was rude doesn’t mean I cant make up for it. He just nodded and walked away. Jimmy made a life guard stance and was like.

“It’s all part of the job miss.” And I shook my head laughing.

“Guys we should get going. Its late and Im pretty sure M could use a nap.” Gena said.

“You got it dude!” I gave her a thumbs up and she laughed. I tried getting up but failed.

“Hey guys, help a sister up will ya?” I asked extending my arms for someone to pull me up. Brian bent down and scooped me up and cradled me like a child.

I think we like to call it bridal style

Quiet you…

“Well aren’t you just saving the day!” I said pinching his cheek.
“It’s all a part of the job…” he said in a macho man voice like Jimmy and I giggled.

“Gena are you staying tonight?” I asked and she nodded.

“Whee!” I threw my hands up in Brian’s arms.

“We’re gonna have a sleepover! Right Jimbo!” And jimmy yelled.

“Hell to the mother fuckin yes!”

----

“I don’t hate you because your fat. Your fat because I hate you”

The girl said before she dove into the girls with her wheelchair. We started cracking up, that was my favorite part. Mean Girls is an awesome movie, how do I know? Lets ask M.Shadows, he’s seen it three times. He blames it on Val but we all know that’s a lie. We already have incriminating evidence of that Aqua CD Jimmy broke.

I made the boys watch mean girls. Wink. The girls left to go do adult girly stuff and I was stuck with the usual bunch.

“ Think that quote applies to a certain Brian Haner in here.” I said coughing trying to cover it up a bit. I stole a glance at him and he had narrowed eyes at me from next to me. He crossed his arms and pouted.

“I am not fat! I am and sexy, and the ladies love me.” He replied cockily smirking.

“Ha and Zacky isn’t chubby.” I replied sarcastically and Zacky threw popcorn at me.

“But at least he is resourceful! He uses his food in more ways than one!” I said pointing at him and Zacky pouted. I had two pouting guitarists on my hands.

“M stop calling me fat! I am not fat!”

“I know Zacky, your just pudgy.” I cooed and he nodded.

“Brian don’t pout either.” I said looking back to the screen where Janis Ian confessed to ruining Regina Georges life.

“Fine but you have to say that I’m a muscular, sexy god.” Me and Zacky both looked at him with an ’excuse me?’ kind of face and he just shrugged. Had we been alone I would have said it in a heartbeat, but now it was just kind of weird. Like he knows he’s messing with me. That sneaky bastard…

“I don’t lie Brian. Its bad, Zacky says good little girls don’t lie.” I said making an innocent face.

“You are the farthest from innocent and you are definitely not a little girl.” He said smirking at me raising his eyebrow. I wanted tokiss smack that look off of his face.
That definitely had some double meaning to it…I just know it.

“Asshole, im barely legal.” I said laughing pushing his shoulder. Brian laughed heartily before squeezing my shoulders.

“Nah im just fuckin.” I pushed him off and shook my finger.

“Nope! Now you have to walk around the neighborhood door to door and inform everyone that you are a registered child molester who wants to babysit their kids.” I said seriously and he started laughing hard, everyone did.

“Fuck you.” He grumbled and I smiled. I had won, finally that motherfucker wins everything!

“I love this movie guys.” I mentioned towards the end of it where ‘girl world’ is finally in order.

“Yes Curie we know.” Jimmy ruffled my hair. I loved when Jimmy called me Curie! It was just the aspect of Jimmy himself doing it, cause I love Jim with all my heart!

“Aww Jimmy your so adorable!!!” I cried crawling over Brian’s lap to hug him and pinch his cheeks. I found myself comfortable in Bri’s lap and I just stayed there.

“Your comfy Bri-pie.” I said touching his smooth legs.

“Do you shave your legs?” I ask and he raises an eyebrow.

“Wax?” He shook his head no.

“Oh my god Brian you used my Nair!” I shriek and he laughed and said no.

“I just don’t have hairy legs, the hair on them is soft and thin so u cant see it so prominently.” He explained and I nodded

“Oh I see. Too much estrogen, you can get that fixed you know Brianna.” I smirk and he bites my cheek and it hurts.
“Owwsch!!” Bwian schtop!” I said sounding like I had a retainer in my mouth.

“HE’SCH TRYING TO EAT ME!” I screech and he lets go. I could feel the bite mark on my cheek and his spit running down my face, yucky! I wiped it off on his shirt and I punched his arm hard.

“Well first that hurt! And you wonder why I call you fat! I am not fat no matter how small and delicious I may appear!” I said laughing and hugging him.

“We shall reconcile.” I say and he nods. I scramble off and hop onto johnny’s lap.

“Wow M you sure get around.” Zacky snickered and I threw the movie cover at him, feel the wrath of Regina fucking George Zachary!

“I love Johnny though!” He’s my favorite today besides Jimmy. You’re an ass Zach, Brian bit me, im still irked at Matt for making you do that and I hope his nipple still hurts.” I said and squeezed Johnny.

“You’re so SMALL! I like it!”

“Haha Christ she called you tiny!” Jimmy said wiggling his eyebrows and Johnny flipped them off.

“Well guys, im gonna head home and check on Val.” Matt said getting up off of the couch and Jimmy and Johnny followed. I pouted.

“Aw okay! Ill see you guys tomorrow! Love you!” I hugged all of them and they left closing the front door leaving me Bri and Zack.

“Well what are you two still doing here?” I ask crossing my arms.

“Excuse me little girl, I own this house.” Zacky said mocking me.

“I own you.”

“Dammit!” Zacky 0 Mercury 234562346!

“Im going upstairs, you two do whatever. Not like that.” Zacky said with a wave of his hand walking upstairs. If my brother knew what I would do to this man I would be kept so far away.

“So Bri…how are you doing?” I ask, wondering how he’s taking the whole deal with Michelle.

“Oh im fine. It’s a nice day out, we went to the beac-“ He said but I cut him off….idiot.

“No I meant how are you dealing with the Michelle problem.” I ask seriousness coating my face and my green eyes clouding with curiosity. I saw a look ass over his face that made me want to take back my words. He just looked at a loss for words.

“I don’t know. Im trying to get over it, I don’t want to dwell on it forever, but its harder than it seems. So many things remind me of her, I see her with other guys and It keeps reminding me that she’s not mine anymore. It makes me realize how much my life completely revolved around her, how much I loved her, and how stupid it was of me.” He admitted and I didn’t know what to say. I started to get a little pissed seing how that whore completely broke him down.

“She really didn’t deserve you.” I said truthfully. He looked at me like I was crazy.

“No really. You loved her much more than she loved you. She was too busy whoring around to realize that…dumb bitch.” I said mumbling the last part and averting my gaze to the door.

“M…don’t say that.” He all but growled at me.

“Where do think you get off Brian? I have every right to think and know she’s a whore!” I said asserting myself, asshole doesn’t growl at me.

“ I said don’t fucking talk about Michelle like that!” He yelled right back, his eyes burning with anger, sorrow and loss.

“I just fucking did! She fucking broke your heart! She left you waiting in the dust, she’s gone Brian!”
And as soon as I finished my sentence I swore his eyes turned black and he looked like he was gonna smack the shit out of me. He got in my face, towering over me. His shoulders were set and rigid and his jaw was firm. He looked so scary, yet so dominant and sexy at the same time.

“I’ll say this one more goddamned time. Don’t you fucking ever disrespect Michelle again in front of me because she is so much better than anyone else, especially you.” He said deadly calm and I felt like my heart evaporated in my chest. My eyes widened and my mouth slightly parted. My skin ignited with fire as I felt a raging fire burn inside. My hand twitched. I swung my fist and got him right in his perfect cheekbone. His head whipped to the side and he looked shocked.

“FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU AND YOUR WHORE! FUCK YOU AND YOUR MISERABLE EXCUSE OF A LIFE! I SHOUDNT HAVE FUCKING HELPED YOU! I SHOULDNE HAVE EVEN CARED YOU WERE HURTING BECAUSE NOW BRIAN, NOW YOU FUCKING DESERVE THIS SHIT! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO SAY THAT YOU UNGRATEFUL SON OF A BITCH!!”

I roared right back and I grabbed a hoodie before stormed right out of the door, slamming it behind me sending a shockwave through the walls of my house.
