I'm Your Truth

Banner made by Rhain (Bittersweetstar) Thanks hoe! :]

As I trudged downstairs I could make out the sounds of silverware clinking in the kitchen. Johnny was sitting on a bar stool playing with his Fruit Loops. Since we were small he'd always eaten his Fruit Loops by color. Ya, real manly.

"Hey Johnny, you think you could drop me off at Brian's today? I told him I'd help him pick out colors to decorate his living room in." I say, hoping he'd buy it.

He gave me that little suspicious-eyebrow-raised look and cocked his head to the side, looking most ridiculous. "Yes, I guess I can swing by there on my way to Sally's."

"Oh, alright, who's Sally? I thought you were going with that Ana girl?"

"Uh, Sally's Beauty Supply, Jaden." He said in that duh tone. "My roots have grown out way too much and I don't use just any bleach on my hair. Haven't you noticed how shiny it is?" He said moving his head about under the kitchen light.

"Um, I'm just uh, gonna go get changed now." I say excusing myself before I found out any other odd truths about my brother. I raceed up to my room to change and heard him shout to be ready in 15 over my shoulder.

---~*~---

"If he tries anything on you Jaden, I swear, you just tell me and I'll take care of it." Johnny said gripping my cheeks in his hands and staring me in the eye. Wow, overprotective much?

"Honestly Bro, he's your best friend, you'd think you'd be a bit more trusting with him." I let out a laugh while pulling his hands away from my face and getting out of the car. "I'll have Brian take me home, so you don't have to worry about picking me up. Later Midget!" I say before walking up the driveway. I heard him call out a 'you better watch it hoe!' from behind me before he took off to go to the salon. Wow that's kind odd to think about. I could just see little Johnny sitting in one of those chairs with his head in that bowl looking thing that's attached to the back of the seat talking with old ladies who were getting their hair permed.

Not having to wait long after ringing the doorbell Brian answered in just a towel wrapped low around his hips. I must say, well actually I don’t know what so say, damn. I must have been staring because he cleared his throat and a arrogant smirk played across his lips. Yep, damn.

"Well, what can I do for you Jade? Get tired of Zack already and wanted something better?" he said letting me inside.

"Actually that is why I came over. We need to talk about something." I say a bit nervous considering his towel kept sliding down more and more every time he walked.

"Damn, never thought you'd move that fast." He said letting out a chuckle. Only then did I realize what it'd sounded like I was implying.

"Oh, no no no! That's not what I meant, I was talking about what went on between me and Zack. I just wanted to talk to you about not saying anything to anyone, especially Johnny."

"Why would I want to do that princess?" Brian asked leaning against the doorframe to the living room while I took a seat on the couch.

"C'mon Brian, don't be a douche, just don't say anything to anyone about it, please?" I plead giving him the puppy dog eyes. "Besides, look at it this way, now I'll owe you something."

That seemed to get his attention as he considered it. "Alright fine, but on one condition. You come to dinner with me tonight."

"Ok? But this doesn't mean anything's going to happen between us Brian, and I'm not going to drink anything tonight, so don't get your hopes up." I warn him before he could try anything or get any ideas.

"Alright sounds fair. Let me go get changed and the I'll take you home." He said before leaving alone in the dark living room. After drawing the curtains I flipped on the TV and watched Mythbusters on the discovery channel. Half an hour later Brian gave me a ride home and said he'd be back at six-thirty and to dress nice.

"And where were you, Missy?" Jimmy quizzed me as soon as I stepped through the door. Him and Zacky were sitting on the couch playing Halo 3.

"Oh, with Brian, don’t worry about it." I say sitting in his lap, blocking his view of the game. Since I've been living here for a month I've gotten attached to Jimmy and Matt. Jimmy was like the teddy bear and cuddle buddy for scary movies and Matt was the muscles behind anything I wanted to do, I always had him around when I asked Johnny if I could go somewhere I knew he wouldn't agree to, Matt would always talk him into it or threaten him.

"Your cheating on me?" He gasped feigning shock and pushed me onto the floor so he could see the TV.

"Sheesh Jimmy, you don't take news well." I say pulling myself to my feet, dusting my bottom off, and going to pick out an outfit.

"See, I told you you didn't sell her to a whore house!" I could barely make out Jimmy say to probably Zack and a muttered whatever in response.

Finally after throwing half my clothes about my room I decided on a simple grey dress that came to just above my knees. It was now 3 so I jumped in the shower and did my hair and makeup, slipping on my dress once I'd finished.

I walked back downstairs to let Johnny know I was going out. I found him talking with the rest of the guys except for Brian in the kitchen passing around beers.

"Hey, Johnny, I'm going out tonight." I say turning to go back to my room before he could stop me.

"Wait, wait, wait. With who? How long? Where? And why the hell do you have to wear such a short dress?" he asked reminding me of Dad when I'd go out on a date.

"I'm gonna go have dinner with a friend I met the other day her name is Brianna. I'll probably just stay at her place if it gets late and she told me to dress nice, though I'm not sure where exactly we're going." I lied through my teeth.

"I don't know Jade, there's a lot of weirdos out there and I've never met this girl before." Hmm, he should talk.

"C'mon, John, let her go, it's not like she's made a lot of friends since she's been here." Matt stood up for me.

"Ok, fine, but call me if you decide to stay at her house." He said chugging the rest of his beer. I gave him a quick hug before thanking Matt and running back to my room to grab my purse and check my makeup. Giving myself a once-over I nodded and slipped on my flats but noticed Zack standing in the doorway.

"Who are really going with?" He asked quietly.

"I already told you, my friend Brianna." I say trying to get past his thick body.

"Don't lie to me, I'm not as blind as your brother." He replied sternly and grabbed my wrist.

"Zack, What is it to you? Mind your own business and let me go. I'm gonna miss my ride." I say trying to jerk out of his grip but failing miserably.

"Why Brian? What's so special about him?" He growled.

"If you knew who I was going with why bother asking. Look I've got to go now." I say as he finally released my wrist and I darted past him, ignoring the look of hurt look he was giving me.

As I had guessed Brian was already parked outside and waiting. As I hopped in I couldn’t deny the fact that he cleaned up well in his grey pinstripe slacks and black button up shirt.

"You look nice." I complimented his attire.

"Ditto." He said before starting his car and taking off down the street. I gave him an odd look seeing as how a big muscular man saying 'ditto' was a bit… odd.

It only took about 20 minutes to get to the restaurant and Brian gave me a talk before I was allowed to leave the car.

"Ok look, these people are pretty important, so don’t make a fool of yourself, and try to act… mature. Oh, and go along with whatever I say. Understand? If you mess this up for me I'll tell everyone about you fucking our fat little guitarist. Kapeish?"

"Um, alright?" I ask not sure what I'd gotten myself into.

The restaurant was Italian with candles set up all around.

"Umm, Brian, who exactly are these people?" I ask as the waiter led us to a table with an older looking couple,

"My parents."

Uhhh, wuh?

"Brian!" The woman squealed getting up to give hi a hug.

"Hey, Susie, how are you?" He asked being all polite, before giving his father that man hug thing they do so well.

"Good, good. And who's this?" She asked, smiling at me.

"Oh, this is Angelica, my girlfriend. This is my step-mom and dad." He introduced us. Though I'm sure face was one of complete shock. His girlfriend? And what the hell? Angelica? It's a pretty name, but god why couldn't have just used my real one?

"Oh, how nice, it's a pleasure to meet you." His father offered his hand. I shook it before taking a seat.

We talked more over our food. Well at least they did, I tried to stay out of it.

"I hope you don't me asking, but how old are you exactly?" His step mother asked me. "You look a bit young, but not that I'm complaining because most of the girls our son dates are a bit trashy and so far you most definitely have our approval."

At this Brian opened his mouth before I had the chance to screw things up. "One, she's 20, but looks great right? Two, not all my girlfriends are 'trashy', I thought you liked Michelle?" He covered for me.

Dinner went on with many more questions like this and Brian answered almost every one of them. I couldn't help but to notice how much wine his parents were drinking as well as him. They were now on they're third bottle. Deciding we should get home, I pulled a drunk Brian out to the car and drove back to his place with the aid of his directions. It took 45 minutes because I kept missing turns when he told me about them as soon as we'd passed them. Finally though we made it back to his house by eleven.

"Hey Brian, I hope you don't mind but I'm just gonna stay here tonight. So lets get you to bed." I said and helped him to his room and pushed him under the covers as best I could with his intoxicated state. After many complaints I managed to keep him there and went back into the living room to call Johnny while I sat on the couch.

Not a moment after I'd hung up did the stereo someone playing Hoobastank's 'Inside You.' I turned around to find Brian standing at the side of the couch with the remote in his hand.

"What are you doing Brian?" I asked my patience wearing thin. Slowly he made his way over to me, only then did I notice he was only in his boxers. I was about to repeat myself as he stood in front of me but stopped short when he straddled my lap.

"What the fuck man? Your soo wasted, get off you're gonna break my legs." I joked with him. Drunkenly he placed a finger over my lips before shushing me and started to grind his hips into mine. This continued on fore a few minutes, my face still holding confusion and horror. Finally he got off me but only to turn around and shake his ass in my face.

"Hey, Brian, what the hell are you doing?" I asked finally scared out of my mind.

"I'm giving you a lap dance, what the fuck's it look like?" He slurred with a 'seductive smile that could probably only charm a skunk.

At this I couldn’t help but to fold over with laughter. Oh, god how I couldn’t wait to rub this in his face in the morning. Composing myself once again I led him back to his room and made sure to stay there till he fell asleep before I crashed on the couch.
