Girl I Know

Chapter 6

(Brian PoV)

I stared up at the ceiling before I looked over at the small girl currently sleeping in my arms. Her breathing was slow and even and her mouth was slightly parted. It was amazing how much she changed after all these years. I remember when she was 9 and she always wore her then brown hair in a pony tail, Zacky’s board shorts and an A7x t-shirt almost all of the time.

Zacky practically made the poor kid an advertisement of the band. It’s weird seeing her grow and mature into a young adult. She has black and silver hair, a cartilage piercing, an industrial (her and jimmy match too) a nose stud like mine, and a navel ring. She got her nose pierced because she always loved playing with mine; she wanted to be like me.

(Brian, 19 years old)

“Brian im gonna get my nose pierced like you.” She said 12 years old. She was just realizing the concept of ‘parental freedom’ now that she lived with Zack.

“Sure enough kid, ask your brother.” I said sarcastically. I doubted Zacky would let her get it pierced.

“Watch me.” She was so bold. She always wanted to emulate us… and prove everyone
wrong.

She ran back into the house, obviously looking for Zacky. I heard yelling and whining soon.

“I said no!” He yelled and I heard her groan. I snickered a bit. Jimmy showed up with smokes.

“Sup Bro.” I gave him a knuckle touch and he passed me a box of Marlboro smokes. I lit one up and gave him back the pack.

“Such a quality smoke.” I breathed out the noxious smoke.

“Why not! You ignored mom and dad and got snakebites!” She yelled, adding to the argument.

“I wasn’t 12!”

“Zacky! Stop being difficult!” The Bakers were persistent.

“Im being responsible and im not letting you get your nose pierced! Now shut up, I don’t wanna hear it!” He yelled and she walked outside. I was still smoking a Marlboro with Jimmy.

“Zacky is an ass.” She mumbled. We cursed constantly around her, but we didn’t want her cursing nonetheless. She wasn’t even a teenager yet, she shouldn’t be cursing.

“M don’t say that, it’s rude.”

“Well if he would just let me pierce my no-“She started but she didn’t finish. A devilish grin appeared on her face and she ran back into the house. The light in the bathroom went on and I heard the door close loud. She was in there before I heard her groan painfully before she laughed. It sounded like a sick victory laugh. She ran into a room and I saw the light in my room turn on.

Wait...

I put out my smoke, and I ran inside. I went up to my room and as I reached the door she opened it, my silver ring in her nose which was red and swollen.

“Mercury what the fuck!” Hypocrite much? Did I not just hear my ‘cursing is bad’ Mr. Mackey speech?

“Well Zacky wouldn’t take me to get it so I did it myself.” She replied her hand on her hips, her right eye tearing a bit, since she pierced her right nostril.

“Oh my god…Zack’s going to be pissed…” I mumbled to myself.

“I did it just like yours Brian.” She smiled, wincing a bit but radiating happiness.

“Oh god…Mercury Baker, how did you manage to pierce your nose.”

“I got Zacky’s piercing needle, I opened it and I pierced my nose, then I went into your room and got one of your silver rings.” She answered, tears trickling down her face.

“We got to show Zacky, now.” I mumbled grabbing her hand.

“No! He’s gonna kick my ass!” She said pulling away. I gave her a look and she just glared back.

“M, he’s gonna see it eventually.” I reasoned. She shook her head.

“Fuck, Brian I hate your small amounts of common sense sometimes….” She grumbled and I just rolled my eyes and pulled her with me.

I laughed to myself a little. I couldn’t believe she actually did that. It would be pretty kickass, but she’s 12. She pouted and reluctantly followed me.

“But it’s pretty kickass though. You’re a tough chick.” I replied making a proud smile cross her face.

“Yo, Zacky your sister is insane.” I replied as Mercury showed Zacky her nose ring…literally
45 minutes after he said she couldn’t get one.

“What the fuck!?” He yelled. We both flinched.

“Well you wouldn’t take me!” She yelled. He pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I didn’t say do it yourself! Do you know that is dangerous!?” He yelled and she looked at the floor. He sighed and he calmed down. He didn’t want her to be like us, and he tried to be the best influence he could, but she already got enough of our lifestyle.

“Mercury Sylver Baker, I let you stay with me cause you’re my sister and I love you. I don’t need you getting yourself into trouble or doing what I said you cant okay?” He said trying not to frustrate himself anymore and she nodded.

“Mercury u don’t pierce yourself anymore. It could get infected, now u got to clean it every day okay.” He said to her, looking her in the eye. She nodded.

“Im sorry Zacky.” She said obviously sad he yelled at her.

“I guess its okay, just don’t do it again…now go upstairs.”

“GO PAPA ZACKY!!!!” Jimmy yelled coming in the house with an insane grin on his face.
They broke into laughter before she obeyed Zacky’s orders. Before she jogged up the stairs she poked me and said.

“Now we can be like twins Brian.” She pointed to her nose and smiled. I nodded at her and watched her go upstairs with a giant smile.

I laughed as she shifted a bit in my arms. I looked at the time. I was almost midnight. I got up from under her as quietly as I could and she rolled into my previous spot. I walked towards the door and I turned back before I closed the door.

She’s beautiful. I was taken aback by my sudden thought. She’s 15! I shook my head
and closed the door behind me. There was a knock at the door downstairs and I went to answer it. Michelle stood at the door in shorts and a “Syn” shirt and a fedora.

“Hey baby.” She cooed smiling and she kissed me softly. I wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her closer to me. I deepened the kiss as I snaked my tongue into her mouth. I pulled away with a smirk and a raised eyebrow and she had a dazed look on her face.

“Was that good?” I asked teasingly and she grabbed my collar and pulled me back for more. We finally separated, and I closed the door behind her.

“What’s up babe, what made you come at this hour?” I asked her genuinely curious about why she came this late.

“I wanted to see you Bri…” She replied giving me the ‘eye’ and biting her lip. I knew what
she wanted.

“Oh really…” I whispered in a rough, seductive voice. I felt her shudder and I smirked at her reaction.

”Brian...” She breathed out, holding onto my arms and staring me in the eye her chest rising and falling dramatically.

“I want you.” She growled nipping at my neck. I smirked and I scooped her up leading her
upstairs. I kicked open the door to my room and I locked it after. She climbed on top of me and began nipping at my neck. I moaned as my hands traveled up and down her body. She kissed my lips and we began removing our clothing, only breaking each other’s hold on our lips twice.

Before I entered her, I whispered to her.

“I love you M.”

Michelle didn’t seem to mind…

…But I’ve never called her M.

(Mercury PoV)

I lay on his chest and looked down at his perfect face. His strong arms wrapped around my waist. I leaned my nose into his and he smiled, his chocolate eyes lighting up.

“Mercury your perfect.” He whispered as he kissed my lips softly. I fluttered my eyes closed and I opened them again when I lost the touch of his lips.

“Brian I love you, I always have.” I felt myself drifting into consciousness. Brian looked at me weird all of a sudden and whispered.

“I love you Chelle.” I gave him a hurt expression and he closed his eyes and moaned.

“Fuck Michelle, don’t tease me.” He moaned out. I let tears slide down my cheeks rapidly and I sniffed.

“Brian it’s me, Mercury!” I said louder but he still called me Michelle, and I cried as he moaned her name out instead of mine.

I woke up, and opened my eyes blurred with tears. I heard moans coming from across the hall and my heart broke. Did he have to do this when I was here? Really, Brian I don’t want to hear you fucking the bitch.

“Fuck! Oh god, Brian!” I heard Michelle scream out. I shook my head and I got up in my shorts and tank and I grabbed Zacky’s keys.

I walked down the stairs and read the time. 4a.m. Wonderful. I hopped in Zacky's customized BMW. It was my favorite car; he promised when I could drive legally he would buy me a custom car. It had rims with diamonds, the death bat on the back window and ‘Vengenz1’ on the plate. I started the engine and sped away from the house. I went to star bucks, and picked up a coffee. I sat down in the corner, the only customer and drank my coffee.

Michelle probably knows I love Brian, and the bitch just wants to rub it in my face. I know she doesn’t love and appreciate him but I don’t know what he sees in that whore. I fucking hate that dumb fucking whore…

“Excuse me ma’am are you alright?” one of the employees ask. I then realized I had tears streaming down my face.

“Yeah, thanks dude.” I replied as I wiped my face and got up to throw away my coffee.

I just have to realize that he will never love me the way he loves Michelle, and that I can’t be with him if he loved me because he doesn’t.
