Synthetic Love

I didn't have work the next day which was a good thing. I need a break from my boyfriend. I was scared to see him after what happened that night. I was sitting on my couch when I got a phone call. It was Chris, I thought he'd be doing something important but when he called I felt better. "Hey, I wanted to know if you wanted to do something tonight? They are playing Rocky Horror at the Rex theater if your into that shit." "I love Horror movies. I'll go but I need a-" "Ride, I know" He said laughing. We hung up and I went upstairs and put on a black tutu and a Marilyn Manson shirt on. I put boots on and grabbed my bag and set it by the door. I went and got a salad out of my fridge and waited till Chris came. I got in his car and we went to his house. "My mom and sister might be home so beware" He said warning me when we were pulling up to his house. We got out and I followed him into his living room. "Chris is that you?" A lady's voice called from their upstairs. "Yeah, mom" He yelled. "I need your help I can't reach this" She yelled. He ran up to her and got her the box she wanted and they both came downstairs. "Who's this?" She asked. "This is Destery, she's my girlfriend." "You'r girlfriend is hear?" His sister yelled running down to us. We both turned. "Whoo she had blue hair, and is really pretty" She yelled. "I'm Brennan, you are?" She asked. "Destery, or Des" I said. "Your like a bratz doll" She said running upstairs. I laughed and Chris pulled me in for a hug. "You ready?" he asked. I nodded my head. We walked back out to his car. "There's something I haven't told you" I said as we pulled out. "Will it make me want to punch you?" he asked laughing. I don't know but when your sister said about a Bratz doll, I'm a model too" I said. "And that's bad?" "No, I'm not just a model...a pin up" I said. He nearly stopped the car. "Best girlfriend ever" Chris said laughing. "Good, I lost a guy friend last time I told him that" I said. We got to the theater and bought our tickets and went in and got our seats at the front of the theater. The movie started and Chris had his arm around me the whole time. We got up and left the theater. "Will you stay the night?" Chris asked when we got back to his house. "Yeah, I need a shirt" I said. He laughed and agreed. We went in and he got a phone call. I was sitting on his couch with my legs crossed when his guitar player came in. "Hey, Des didn't think you'd be hear" Ricky said. "Yeah, well we are together now" I said as he sat down next to me. "What do you like to do?" I asked adding "You seem so different than the other's in a good way though." "Thanks, I think...I don't know music, film, and writing is my thing" He said. "You write? Maybe I'll read something of your's one day" I said. Chris came back in and Ricky and I turned like we weren't talking. "Hears you stuff" He said handing a bag to Ricky. "See you later" Ricky said leaving. "Let's go" Chris said directing me to get up. We went to his room and he gave me a black button down. I sat on his bed. "So, will you sing me something?" I asked. "Where do you come up with these things?" He said laughing. I stood up and took off my shirt and slid the button down on and then I took off my skirt. I folded them on the floor and put my shoes on top. Chris was laying on his bead pushed up against the wall and I crawled over to him laying down in his arm. We fell asleep
slowly talking to each other and in the morning we both woke up to go to work. I put my clothes back on and we left his house not waking anyone up. We drove to the studio and the guy's were all standing out front. I ran in to the front desk and signed in and sat around waiting for calls. Chris and Angelo came walking down to the desk and stood looking at me. "I have something to tell you" Chris said looking at Ange then me. "I have to go away for a week, to shoot a music video." "Just a week" I said. "Just a week" He said. "I don know that's a long time" I said. "You can do it, Ricky and you can hang out you too seemed like you were getting to know each other the other day" Chris said laughing. "When do you leave?" "Tomorrow" Angelo said. "Deal" I said as we hugged. I really wanted to get to know Ricky more, and since he was Chris's friend I figured I should. I went home and fell asleep in my living room on my couch. I got a text from Chris that woke me up saying he'd see me when he'd get back.I went back to sleep for another hour and got up and went to work.
I was at the front desk when Ricky walked in with Ghost. "Come on" He said. I walked with him. "I get to take care of you for a week" He said as I laughed, "I guess" I said. "You seem pretty interesting wouldn't mind getting to know you" He said. I laughed and we started to talk at the studio as he and Ghost waited for my shift to end. "You and Chris...official?" Ghost asked. "I guess" I said. "you don't like him like that do you?" "No, I kinds do...it's different I think we rushed" I explained looking at Ricky. "Why don't you stay at my place tonight" Ricky said. "I don't care" I said. My shift finally ended about 20 minutes later and we went to Ricky's car. It was about 10 at night and we took Ghost home and went to Ricky's house. "You don't mind this do you?" I asked walking up to his dark house. "No, my mom wont be home to late, she's a nurse and my sister is with my grandparents" He explained unlocking his door. We went up to his room and sat around. "Do you have a shirt?" I asked. He gave, me a red button down and I took off my clothes and buttoned up his shirt and sat down on the floor. His guitar was sitting up against his bed. I picked it up and started to strum it. "Do you play?" "No, I wish I could" I explained. He got behind me and started to show me somethings. He smelt me and moved my hair from my neck. His kissed my on the neck, "Ricky" I said as he didn't stop. In an odd way I liked it, and I wanted more. I thought he was sweet and innocent but he wasn't. What would Chris do or say. Before I could think to hard into that I was under Ricky on the floor. He unbuttoned the red shirt I had on and we stood up. I took off the button down and his shirt and I was lifted up with my legs wrapped around him. We walked we went into his bathroom and the water was running from him going to get a shower and we went under the warm water. A loud bang came from downstairs and my heart stopped. "Shit, she can't be home" He said. "Who?" "My mom" He explained. He turned off the water and got out of the shower with a towel on. I got one from the rack next to the shower and dried off going to put my shirt back on. I stood by his door listening. "Rick," His mom said. "Yeah, you scared me" He said. I tried to hold my giggle back. " I'm sorry" She said. "My friend is sleeping over her brother is out on tour and she was scared so I told her it was ok to stay the night" Ricky explained. She agreed. He came back upstairs with a black shirt on and boxers, and laid down in bed. I crawled in next to him and he put his arm over me. I got a minute to think and the first thing I thought of was Chris. I got waken up by his phone call and I broke new's to him. It started with a "hi", and ended with a "were not meant to be." The week went slow and I dreaded it. Breaking up with Chris was really hard because we were prefect. But I felt the guilt with being with Ricky. I went to work the day Chris was coming back and I hoped that he'd still be friends with me. When he came in and gave me a big hug I new it was ok. It was all good, and he seemed happy. I think since it was only a week we were both ok with the situation. It was March and the guy's were still working and Ryan's
girlfriend Allie was freaking out. The guy's got on one of the biggest tours ever Warped Tour and Allie was their merch girl and needed help. that's when they asked me to be their new merch girl. I agreed to it, and was so stoked with it. I was outside on a break talking to my brother who's tour was extended. Ricky came out, "I know it was you" I said. "What?" He asked laughing. "You got me to be the merch girl, Chris is pissed at me I can tell" I explained. He laughed, "Can we maybe give it a try?" he asked. I laughed and we hugged. Want to hang out tonight maybe the mall?" Ricky said. I laughed and agreed. After work we went to the mall and then to his house. I didn't think I'd meet his mom in a blue tutu and a black shirt and rainbow knee socks, but anything is possible. "Mom, this is Destery" Ricky said sitting down at their kitchen table. "Hi" I said. "Very interesting Rick" She said laughing. "You'r hair is blue" she said laughing. "Tomorrow do you want to go to a poetry reading?" I asked. "I'd love to" he said. "I remember you write so I thought it would be fun"I said. He took me home and I called Andy to tell him the news. I still had feelings for Chris, and they were strong but I couldn't live with myself after what I did with Ricky. I went home and I went to sleep in my living room. The next day I got ready and put on a black skirt, and black tank top with a black fishnet shirt and black boots on. I grabbed my notebook, and my bag and got picked up by Ricky. "Whoo, you look different" he said as I got in the car. I laughed. "Well to go to a poetry reading you have to wear all black" I explained. He laughed. We pulled up to the 'hole in the wall' and got out. "This is it" I said as Ricky stood next to me. I kissed him and we went into the building. "Will you read?" I asked as we sat at a table. "Only if you do first" He said. I agreed and walked up to the mic to start. I read a poem I wrote about my mom, and when I finished everyone was snapping except Rick he was clapping. Everyone looked at him and I told them he was new. He got red in the face but I thought it was cute. Chris didn't know about the whole thing and I wanted it to stay like that. I really didn't want to hurt Chris, and I did regret getting with Rick but someone I thought maybe Chris and I really weren't meant to be maybe Ricky and I were meant to be.
