Chapter 1

Molli pulled back from her lover’s embrace and sat up on the blanket.  “Jude, I think I heard something.”

Jude laughed and reached around to unhook Molli’s bra.  “Come on Molli.  There’s nobody out here.  All of the other girls are probably at Brentwood high watching their jock boyfriends play football or trying to snag themselves a jock boyfriend.  Either that or they’re already in the beds of the married men that they’re sleeping with.  With the girls you go to school with, it’s pretty much a toss-up.”

“Shut up Jude.  It’s not like the girls you go to school with are any better.  The girls at Crestview just have more money or at least their parents do.  I swear I heard something.  What if it’s Tory?  You know she likes to sneak around out here and spy on people.  I think she likes to watch other people have sex.  That’s why I don’t understand why she’s so uptight about doing it with you.”

Jude kissed her.  “But you’re not uptight about doing it with me, are you Molli?  That’s what I like about you.  You’re not one bit uptight.”

Molli removed Jude’s hand from under her shirt.  “Stop it.  Why can’t we go do it at your house like civilized horny teenagers?”

“You know my whole family is home.  We can’t exactly sneak off to my bedroom when my brother’s probably in there playing around with his computer.”

Molli sighed.  “Why don’t we go do it in your truck then?  At the old make out spot.”

“They started busting people for going up there again.  And my truck’s almost out of gas.  Did your mom send you your allowance?  Do you think you could spot me a twenty until I get paid?  You know I’m good for it.  Or maybe thirty since I’m almost out of rubbers.”

Molli didn’t believe that they’d started busting people for going out to the old make out spot.  Her best friend in town whose dad was a cop said that they never busted people for going there unless some kind of assault or rape took place.  She also couldn’t believe that Jude was asking to borrow money from her again.  Granted, his parents had a lot less money than hers did, but he had a job and he never seemed to remember to pay her back.  She sighed again and started to reach for her purse.

Jude put a hand on her arm.  “It can wait babe.  I want you so bad.  I got hard in my last class because I was thinking of you.  The way you look naked, the sounds you make when you’re on top of me.  Damn I love it when you’re on top.”

Molli didn’t like being on top when she had sex with Jude because he finished way too quickly, but she didn’t want to tell him that.  She felt a little like she was using him to get away from her married lover Eduardo whom she had gotten mixed up with shortly after she had started attending Crestview Academy.  She also felt bad being with Jude when he still had a girlfriend.  She was tired of not being the main woman in her man’s life. 

“When are you going to break up with Tory?”  Molli let Jude press her gently back onto the blanket.

“I will.  I promise.  She thinks that she loves me.  Just not enough to have sex with me.”

“Maybe you want Tory to catch us together out here so that she’ll break up with you.  You don’t have the balls to break up with your girlfriend.”

“I love you Molli.  I knew that you were the one for me the first time I saw you.  I was already in so deep with Tory that I thought I needed to give our relationship a chance.”

“Sure Jude.”

She let him kiss her and they were soon making out heatedly.  Several minutes later, she knew she heard a noise and sat up, pushing Jude back.  He didn’t stop kissing her though, and his hand was still under her shirt when she caught a flash of light in her peripheral vision.  Molli disentangled herself from Jude and looked up and straight into the eyes of Jude’s girlfriend.

“What the hell are you doing Jude?”  Tory said.  Molli saw her shove a digital camera into her purse.  “No, never mind, I know exactly what you’re doing, but why?”

Jude stood up and pulled Molli with him, standing in front of her, though she was 5’8 and he was only 5’7.   “Do you really need to ask that Tor?  We’ve been together for two years and you still won’t let me make love to you.”

Tory laughed.  “So that’s what this is all about?  Me not letting you down my pants?  Is that all it ever was Jude?  You were going out with me to screw me, or until someone came along that would let you screw them?  I see you did a good job of that.  I should have known.  Molli always was a slut.”

Molli felt the sting of Tory’s words.  She’d been called a slut a lot at her old school.  It had stopped since she’d come to Crestview since all of the girls seemed to sleep around, but it never felt good to hear the word associated with her.  She liked sex but it didn’t make her feel like a slut, well, not usually she thought.

“Molli is not a slut.  She understands me better than you ever did.  How could you say you loved me and yet be unwilling to show me in the most beautiful and obvious way possible?”

“Sex has nothing to do with love.  I don’t know why they call it making love.  Sex is about some perverted guy wanting to get off and some girl going along with him because she doesn’t want to make him mad.  Maybe if he’s good enough at it, she might get a little enjoyment out of it too, but I doubt it. “

“What would you know about sex Tory?  You’re a prude.  No, you’re a tease.  And that’s worse.  I know that there were times when you wanted it.  Sitting on my lap at my house when nobody was around.  I know you could tell that I got hard a couple times because you wouldn’t stop moving around.  You moved around so much one time I almost came in my pants.  And you let me touch you once but you’d never touch me.  It’s okay for me to get you off but it’s not okay for me to expect anything in return?  Or are you getting it somewhere else Tor?  Is that it?”

Molli hid her head in Jude’s shoulder.  She didn’t want to hear this.

“Maybe I moved around because I didn’t want to feel your hard on Jude.  And you were far from getting me off as you put it.  I didn’t want you to touch me like that.  I only let you because you practically begged me.  And I made you stop not because I was so into it, but because I knew
that you thought it meant that I was obligated to have sex with you.  I’m not obligated to have sex with you before I’m ready, no matter how long we’ve been together.  And I’m hardly having sex with someone else.  I love you Jude.”

Molli could tell from Tory’s voice that she was about to cry.  But she thought that a lot of what the girl was saying made sense.  She didn’t think that people should have sex until they were ready either, whether they were ready at fifteen or fifty.  She’d lost her virginity in Jr. High and had always regretted it, even if it had been with a sophomore who knew what he was doing and made it practically painless.

“I don’t love you anymore Tory.  I’m with Molli now.  She’s already proven her love for me.”

“By spreading her legs for you?  Yeah, that’s real love.  Fuck you Jude and fuck you too, Molli.  I never liked you anyway.”  Tory turned and hurried out of the woods.

“Are you satisfied now Jude?  She saw us together and even if she didn’t technically break up with you, it’s pretty obvious that it’s over between you two.  Now she hates me.”

Jude brushed her hair back from her face.  “Why do you care if Tory likes you?  She hasn’t had any friends since Rebecca had to leave school.  Those two were so annoying when they were together.”

“You shouldn’t say things like that.  Tory’s really pretty and she’s so smart too.  I’m sure she’s going to get into a good college.  I’m not going to be able to get in anywhere with my grades.”

“Your parents have enough money that they could pay some college to make them accept you.  Can we get back to what we were doing?”

“I don’t want to do it anymore.  Let’s go get something to eat.  I’m hungry.”

“I don’t have money to take you out to eat Mol.”

“I know that.  I’ll pay.  And maybe if you’re nice to me we can go to the old make out spot afterwards.  Seneca’s dad says they don’t bust people up there anymore and he’s a cop.”

“I know her Dad’s a cop because we grew up across the street from each other, but Seneca is a bimbo.  And I’m always nice to you.”

“You weren’t very nice to Tory.  I didn’t want to hear that stuff you were saying to her and I bet she didn’t want me to hear it either.  It’s embarrassing when guys bring up stuff like that.”

“Will you quit worrying about Tory?”

“She was crying.  She told you that she loved you and you were so mean to her.  Why did you have to be so mean to her?  She didn’t deserve that just because she wouldn’t have sex with you.  And she was right you know.  If she wasn’t ready to have sex, then she wasn’t ready to have sex.  It didn’t mean she didn’t love you.”

Jude sighed.  “Mol, can we not talk about Tory?  I promise I will call her in the morning and apologize and formally break up with her okay?”

“Okay.  But you’d better be nicer to her this time.”

“You are way too kind Molli.  Tory isn’t the sweet, innocent girl that she pretends to be.  She let me get so close a few times, she’d just never let me go all the way.”

“I don’t want to hear about that Jude.  That’s her business, not mine.  Let’s go.  It’s getting cold out.  Is the heater working in your truck?”

“Yeah, but it smells funny when I turn it on.”

“Your whole truck smells funny.  It’s because you never clean it out.”

“Thanks Molli.”  He took her hand and led her out of the woods and to his beat up blue 1970’s pickup truck.  “I thought Seneca’s dad got fired.”

Molli got into the truck, and shut the door behind her.  She took her hair band off of her wrist and used it to pull back her long, curly auburn hair.  She looked over at Jude, her eighteen year old boyfriend who went to Brentwood High with her friend Seneca, and gave him a dirty look.  He ran a hand back through his dark hair and then rummaged around on the floor for his cigarettes.  Molli looked into his blue eyes that were so close to the blue gray color of her own as he lit his cigarette and said “Seneca’s dad did not get fired.  You shouldn’t listen to stupid rumors.  He cut his hours back because they’ve had to take Rain to the doctor so much lately.  They’ve been really lucky that they have the money to take time off since Seneca’s mom got all that money for that TV show pilot she wrote.”

Jude started the truck and then backed slowly back out onto the road.  “I forgot all about that.  Guess they’re probably going to be moving out of the trailer park soon huh?”

“I doubt it.  They have huge doctor bills and two kids to put through college.  And their house is fine.  It’s not like your family doesn’t live across the street from them.”

Jude chuckled.  “I think my parents would move out of the trailer park if they got a bunch of money.”

“Maybe.  But your parents have a three bedroom trailer and four healthy kids.  Seneca’s parents have a three bedroom trailer, one healthy kid and one that’s sick all the time.  They have a lot more important things to worry about than getting a new house, especially since they already have one that’s paid for.”

Jude glanced at her as he pulled into the gas station on the edge of town.  “You know, you kind of remind me of Tory.  You’re both so big into sticking up for a bunch of losers and misfits.  Of course, Tory’s one herself.  You on the other hand, not so much.”

“I wouldn’t say that.  I don’t have a lot of friends at Crestview.  Tory doesn’t care if she fits in.  She’s not going to start wearing a bunch of makeup and caring about the latest fashion trends just so that she can make some fake friends.  Seneca is not a misfit or a loser either.  She’s a very nice girl.”

“She’s stupid.  She’s always in detention and her boyfriend is a straight up moron.  She’s gonna get pregnant before she’s out of high school.   But it doesn’t matter because she’s too dumb to get into college.”

“Jude, why are you being such an asshole?  Seneca is very sweet, and she’s very smart.  You’ve been in detention yourself plenty of times so don’t try to play it off like you’re perfect.  And I like Grant.  He’s very nice and he’s very good to Seneca.”

Jude snorted.  “He’s only gonna be sweet to her until he gets down her pants.  Doesn’t he have a kid?”

Molli sighed.  “No.  He had to take a DNA test, but so did like ten other guys.”

“And that’s something to be proud of?  Sleeping with someone who is screwing so many other guys that when they get pregnant they run out of paper before they’ve listed all of the guys that could be the father?”

“I think you’re upset because you wanted to keep on having your cake and eating it too.  I think that even with as much as you thought you wanted Tory to find us together so that you wouldn’t have to break up with her, you wanted to keep us both on the line until we graduated even more.  I’ll bet you thought that you could eventually talk her into having sex with you.  So don’t talk about my best friend and her boyfriend like they’re pathetic when you’re pretty damned pathetic yourself.”

“Damn Molli.  Are you on your period?”

Molli rolled her eyes.  “What a smart thing to say Jude.  I’m going inside to pay for your gas.”

“Thanks.  Can you get me a soda?”

“Fine.” 

She got out of the truck and stalked away from him.  She was beginning to wonder why she’d ever thought she could use Jude to help her get away from Eduardo.  She hardly liked being around him anymore.  He had been fun to hang out with at first and he was cute, but he still looked more like a boy than a man and acted more like one too, she thought as she pulled open the door to the gas station.  He barely weighed more than she did, he was an inch shorter than her and he seemed to be proving his continued immaturity more and more.  Why couldn’t she be dating a real man she thought, like her roommate Mellenda’s boyfriend Ricky?  Now that was a real man.
