You Leave Me Breathless

[Peyton]

Trinity and I were driving Mikey back to his apartment, seeing as he’d slept over the night before. Well, I’m not sure how much sleeping got done, but you get my point. Last night was their two month anniversary, and as much as it amuses me that Trinity has changed so much, she seems to...really like Mikey. Like, more than she’s ever liked any guy before.

It’s a bit of a strange concept after all these years that I’ve known her to be the complete opposite. But I’m not going to mention it. Fuck knows what she’d do if I did!

Anyway, Trinity parked the car and cut the engine. I got out the car, smiling slightly as Mikey slid his arm around my sister. They look cute together, sue me!

“I don’t know if Frank’s home, Pey. Said he was going out for a bit. You okay waiting for him?” Mikey announced as we walked up the stairs

“Eh, it’s not like we’re dating,” I snorted

“You might as well be,” Trinity sang

“Don’t start on me, whore,” I retorted

Mikey just chuckled and opened his apartment door. I felt my heart freeze at what I saw. Frank had a dark-haired short girl pinned to the wall, and they were furiously making out. Frank quickly broke away when he heard us, his eyes going wide.

“Jamia?” Mikey frowned

“Hey Mikey! It’s been so long!” the woman smiled

I heard Trinity growl, and Mikey looked uneasy.

“I didn’t think you would be back so soon, Mikes,” Frank said weakly

“Clearly,” Trinity said coldly

“Aren’t you going to introduce us, babe?” Jamia said sweetly to Frank

I cringed at the nickname.

“Uh, sure. Jamia, this is Mikey’s girlfriend Trinity and...her sister Peyton. Trin, Pey, this is...my girlfriend Jamia,” Frank said as calmly as possible

“Frank, can I have a word with you, for a sec?” Mikey said quickly

Frank couldn’t seem to leave the hallway quickly enough. Jamia smiled at us. I knew we weren’t smiling back.

“So...Frank never mentioned you,” Trinity said fake-sweetly

“Didn’t he?” Jamia frowned

“Not at all. We’ve been here since...June? Not a word,” Trinity shrugged

“Oh. Um, I’ve been volunteering in Africa since May, but I’m home now. I’ve missed Frank,” Jamia said happily

I just stayed silent, not trusting myself to speak. How dare Frank lie to me? I mean, sure I was sleeping with Drew when I was sleeping with Frank, but at least I wasn’t actually dating one of them! And he lied about having a girlfriend! Then Frank reappeared, Mikey looked pissed off behind him.

“I’ll take you home now, Jamia. Gotta get to band practice in a bit,” Frank announced

Liar. There is no band practice today.

“Okay, it was nice meeting you girls. See you Mikes,” Jamia grinned

Trinity stamped on Frank’s foot as he walked past her. He whimpered but didn’t say anything. As soon as the front door closed, narrowed her eyes at Mikey.

“There had better be a fucking good reason for her,” Trinity said angrily

[Trinity]

Mikey sighed, and nodded.

“You might want to sit down for this. Come on,” Mikey said softly

Peyton looked completely numb, so I took her hand and pulled her along. Mikey followed us into the living room, sitting down opposite.

“First of all, I just want to tell you that I had no idea Jamia and Frank were still together,” Mikey started

“What do you mean still together,” Peyton asked tightly

Mikey groaned, running his fingers through his hair.

“Frank and Jamia had been dating for two years till May. He told us that he broke up with her before she left, but he literally told me just now that he never did. Jamia thinks they’re still together and Frank doesn’t have the balls to break up with her properly,” Mikey said hesitantly

“So he’s gonna ditch my sister just like that?” I spat

“Technically we were never together,” Peyton sighed

“You were in an open relationship, Pey. That means you were technically together,” I retorted

“Still...”

“If you knew about this, Mikey, and you’re lying, I won’t be happy,” I interrupted, glaring at my boyfriend

“I swear I didn’t know! Why would I hurt Peyton like that?” Mikey pouted

“You tell me,” I shrugged, folding my arms over my chest

“Look, Trinity, Peyton, I promise I didn’t know, okay? If you want a proper answer, you’ll have to ask Frank,” Mikey said seriously

“I’m not talking to that asshole again,” Peyton snapped

“Ditto,” I nodded, “I don’t even want to see his lying face,”

“Please don’t be like this,” Mikey begged

“He’s been sleeping with my sister while he had a girlfriend!” I exasperated

Just then, the apartment door opened. It was Frank. He had better hide if he knows what’s best for him.

“Gimme the car keys,” Peyton said darkly, standing up

“Pey...”

“GIMME THE CAR KEYS!” Peyton shouted

I scowled at her for yelling at me, but threw them at her anyway. Peyton stormed out of the room. I couldn’t help but smile slightly at the sound of Frank crying out in pain before the door opened and slammed shut. I looked up at Mikey, who looked uneasy. Well, he could clearly see I was on the verge of blowing up, so I guess he’s got a reason.

“Trinity...”

“Don’t talk,” I said sharply, interrupting

“But...”

“Don’t talk,” I repeated

“Please...”

“For fuck’s sake, shut up won’t you?” I shouted

“Why are you taking this out on me?” Mikey exasperated

“I don’t know, okay! You’re the closest person, and unless you want me beating up Frank then just shut up!” I retorted

“I’m not going to sit here and listen to this. When you’ve calmed down, I’ll be in my room,” Mikey said softly

I rested my head in my hands as he walked out the room. I couldn’t help but feel guilty for snapping at Mikey. Sure, it wasn’t his fault at all, but I was just furious for Peyton. She’d been lied to the most, and I knew that she felt a lot more for him than she would ever let on. With a groan, I stood up and walked down the corridor to Mikey’s room. I didn’t bother knocking on the door, and just walked right in.

“That was quick,” Mikey said with a weak smile

“I’m still angry, but at Frank. So just stay quiet and just let me let out my anger,” I said simply

Mikey frowned as I walked towards him, but blushed as I unzipped his jeans and tugged them down.

“Shouldn’t we shut the door?” Mikey asked tightly as I pulled my t-shirt off

“It’s Frank’s fault if he walks in on anything,” I shrugged, pulling Mikey’s t-shirt over his head

“You’ll be the death of me,” Mikey groaned as I wriggled out of my short shorts

“Shut up and get naked,” I ordered

Mikey just laughed, but did as I said. I don’t why he’s laughing. I’m serious about letting out my frustration. Mikey won’t be able to walk tomorrow.
