Flashback

Mia walks in to the gym that was playing the upbeat music hand in hand with her boyfriend. She looks up and smiles at him, "God I hate this song..." Mia pratically gags and looks down at her dress. "And these shoes are killing me. Hannah's lucky I love her, or else I wouldn't have wore them..." She looks back up at Jeff and sees him looking at Clay.

Mia knits her brows together and looks for her best friend, she finds her and tilts her head as she sees her sitting on the bleachers. "You've got to be shitting me..." She whispers.

She bumps Jeff and he looks down at her, "Yeah?" He questions her. "You take Clay, I take Hannah?" She asks him. Jeff chuckles, "You read my mind, lady..." Jeff kisses the top of her head and walks over to Clay. Mia slowly and painfully walks over to the bleachers where Hannah was. She sits down next to her with a huff.

Hannah looks at her and laughs, "Are you okay?" She asks her. Mia tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and gives Hannah a deadpan expression. "Oh yeah...blood probably spilling from my feet, but...who cares right? Everybody loves scars." Mia says sarcastically. Her and Hannah laugh.

Mia sighs and looks at Clay, "So...why are you just sitting here?"

Hannah looks up slightly at Clay and Mia inhales. "Hannah, you should go for it..." Mia says to her. Hannah looks at Mia and chuckles, "Yeah, right. The slut of the school? He's not going to want to dance with me." Hannah shakes her head.

Mia bites the inside of her cheek, "I wouldn't be too sure of that one." She nudges her arm.

"What are you--" Hannah stops talking as she looks at Clay standing up. Hannah looks back at Mia with a smile, and she does the same thing. "What are you waiting for, lady? Go." Mia says as she lightly pushes her.

Hannah stands up and they both walk forward to each other onto the middle of the court. Mia looks across at Jeff and they both smile. They both do the same thing and stand close to Hannah and Clay.

Mia looks up at her boyfriend and smiles, "Hey." Jeff says.

"Hey," Mia says to him. "So, uh...I heard you hate this song, like...a lot." Jeff says touching her arms. Mia tilts her head, "Now, who told you that?" She asks him with sarcasm.

"Oh, you didn't hear? Your boyfriend talks about you all the time, he says you want to smash the radio every time this song comes on." Jeff says as he pulls her closer. Mia moves her body back and Jeff looks at her confused. "What, did I say something wrong?" He asks.

Mia raises her brows, "I don't know Jeff...talking to yourself..." she winces. "That isn't a good sign of sanity." She arches a brow. Jeff laughs and so does Mia. He holds out his hand and Mia looks down at it with a small smirk, "Would you like to dance?"

Mia pretends to take a moment to think, "Well...I wore these shoes and this dress and I let you put a corsage on me, so, yeah, I think I want to dance with you." She takes his hand and they both start to dance crazy.

Mia laughs as she sees Jeff 'Breaking it down' she covers her mouth and laughs. He looks at her, "Oh? Do you think you can do better?" Jeff questions.

Mia shakes her head, "Oh, no, no...Jeff. I think I can do worse," She says as she starts to dance even crazier than he was. Jeff laughs loudly as Mia runs into him and he keeps her steady. "Oh My God! That was so fucking bad! You're right...you are the worse." Jeff nods his head. Mia smiles and lightly shoves him.

"Alright, Liberty High, let's slow it down a bit. Nice and slow," Ryan says over the mic.

As the song comes on Mia quietly gasps. "Holy Shit!" She whispers with a hug smile on her face. She looks up at Jeff. "I love this song!" She exclaims. Jeff smiles at her and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Really? I had no idea..." He says to her softly yet loud enough to be over the music.

Mia giggles softly and grabs his hand. Jeff feels his heart bang against his chest from the warmth of Mia. He squeezes her hand and they both dance to the song they've grown to love together.

Mia lays her head on his chest as they press their bodies together. Mia looks up at him and she smiles softly. "Thank you, for convincing me to come. This is...nice." she softly speaks to him.

Jeff raises his brows in shock, "Wow! Mia Walker has complimented something that has to do with school? That's unbelievable, and I don't think she's lying either--"

"Oh really? That's how you want to play this game?" Mia questions with a smile. Jeff nods his head, "Yeah, I think that's exactly how I want to play it," He says with a smile. Mia touches the back of Jeff's neck, stands on the tip of her toes, and kisses his lips softly. Their lips move with the music. The kiss began to grow more intense and Mia's stomach began to flutter an uncontrollable amount. Mia separates from Jeff and lets out a small breath.

She opens her eyes and looks into his eyes. Mia notices Jeff looking down at her lips and Mia smiles. Jeff leans down to Mia, so his lips were brushing against hers. "Want to get out of here?"

Mia separates from him and looks at Hannah and sees her dancing with Clay. She feels a pit in her stomach telling her to stay for Hannah, but her heart and head were both telling her to go with the boy she loves and let him treat her right.

Mia looks back at Jeff and smiles, "Of course." She giggles. Jeff gently squeezes her hand and they walk out of the gym. Jeff and Mia practically run to the car...or at least Mia tried to. Jeff starts the car and looks at her. Mia looks at him as she takes off her heels and winces in pain. "My parents aren't home..." she says to him with a smile.

Jeff chuckles and drives to her house. He parks the car and opens his door and runs over to hers and helps her out of the car and to the house. She unlocks the door and they run upstairs. She slowly opens the door and sets her things down. Mia walks over to her radio and turns on soft music.

Mia makes her way over to her bed and sits on it. She then looks up at Jeff with a small expression of timidness. She unzips her dress and lays down on the bed. Jeff hovers over her. He takes a moment to admire his girlfriends soft blue eyes and his stomach began to tighten. She touches his cheek and runs her thumb over his lip. Jeff kisses her lips softly. Mia immediately kisses back and starts to unbutton his shirt.

The kiss becomes more intense and Jeff moves his lips down to her neck. Mia feels her skin tingle from the sensation in her body. She quietly lets a breath escape her lips. Mia takes his shirt off and throws it to the ground.

Jeff reluctantly detaches his lips from her soft sweet skin. Mia opens her eyes and looks up at him. "J-Jeff? Are you okay?" she asks out of breath. Jeff searches her eyes for a moment before replying.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Tonight?" He asks. Mia furrows her brows together. "I mean, if you don't want to then--"

"No, No, I do, I just...I-It's your first time and I just want it to be the perfect time for you." Jeff says looking at her with soft and honest eyes. Mia softly smiles and places both of her hands on his cheeks. "It's you, Jeff...I want you, I love you..." Mia says through tears that she didn't know were even in her eyes.

Jeff chuckles and wipes the tears from her eyes. He nods his head and kisses her slightly rougher this time. She wraps and arm around his neck. She knew that she wanted Jeff to be the one who took her virginity. They have been dating for Two years and they have done things in the past, but haven't gone past that.

She loves Jeff and Jeff loves her. She just wanted to finally be with the boy she loves.

Present

Mia inhales as she feels all those memories coming back to her. She looks down at the headstone in front of her and she smiles. "You know, you treated me like a fucking queen every single fucking day we were together and...I loved it." Mia confesses. "I actually think I was fucking spoiled, and...I don't know..." Mia wipes the tears coming from her eyes.

"I don't know why I'm here...I never come here, I-I-I get scared when I see or hear about you or Hannah and I get closed off. I can't fucking think or breathe without you. I-I-I'm nothing...I miss you so fucking much. I love--I loved you...I fucking loved you so fucking--" Mia hears chatter going on behind her.

"Fuck!" Mia raises her voice. She stands up and walks over to the commotion. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Mia yells walking over to them. Clay and Courtney look at the angry Walker sibling coming towards them.

"Mia, I'm sorry--"

"You're sorry? You are fucking sorry? Courtney?!" Mia looks at her. "Why the fuck are you arguing at a Cemetery!" Mia yells.

"Mia we were just--"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, CLAY! I AM TALKING!" She pokes at his chest. "Cemetery's are for visiting and honoring the people you lost. And you fucking two are...are yelling? Over shit that could've been solved somewhere fucking else?" Mia feels all her anger and sadness leave from her words.

"CAN'T I RESPECT THE BOY I LOVED IN PEACE?!" Mia tangles both of her hands in her hair and looks between the two teenagers. Mia feels her breathing quicken. Courtney starts to panic slightly. "I-I-I-I'm sorry...I should..." Courtney grabs her things and runs over to her car.

Mia's legs go weak and she falls to the ground and touches her chest. "M-Mia...are you okay--"

"No, I'm not fucking OKAY CLAY!" Mia yells as she starts to hyperventilate. He kneels down next to her and softly touches her back. Mia flinches and Clay calms her down. "Hey, Hey, Hey...it's okay...I'm here..." Clay whispers to her.

He gently pulls her into his chest and Mia feels tears pour down her cheeks. She relaxes into her chest as she feels herself slowly calm down. "I know you probably don't want me to ask this right now but...are you okay?" Clay asks again.

Mia inhales and pulls out of Clay's embrace. "Uh...y-yeah...I'm fine..." Mia lies.

She looks at him and gives him a soft smile, "I'm sorry, that I...snapped...I just was confessing somethings and I heard you both talking and I..." Mia shakes her head and runs a hand through her hair.

"Fuck, Clay...I don't know what I'm going to do..." She chuckles quietly. Clay looks around, "We don't have to talk if you don't want to..." Clay says to her.

Mia looks at him and chuckles, "Thanks." She says.

"I should be the one to apologize for that stupid argument I had with Courtney." Clay says to her. Mia nods her head, "Judging by the way she looked. I think you scarred her ass." Mia laughs and so does Clay.

Mia stands up and so does Clay. "Are you able to drive me home on your bike?" Mia asks him. Clay nods his head, "yeah, totally." He answers. Mia nods her head and head to her car

☆

Mia and Clay ride in silence as she nuzzles her face into his back again. The comforting silence is cut off by a loud honking behind them "The fuck?" Mia groans. She turns and looks at the familiar car.

"What the fu--"

The car swerves in front of them and Clay stops. The door opens and Justin gets out. "Want to go for a ride, real quick?" He asks. Clay shakes his head.

"No," He answers.

Mia hops off of the bike and looks at Justin and Zach. "Shit," Justin curses underneath his breath. "What the fuck, Justin?" Mia questions.

"Mia, get in the car too?--"

"No, I was riding with Clay. Why the fuck--"

"JUST GET IN THE FUCKING CAR, CHRIST!" Justin yells. Zach looks at Justin like he's crazy and so does Mia. She walks close to Justin and he tenses up. "You may be like a brother to me, Justin...but don't think that you can talk to me like my family does..." Mia says quietly.

"Don't treat me like shit, like everybody else...w-w-we promised--"

"Mia...I know, and fuck...I'm so sorry, okay?" Justin rubs his his lip. "Okay, can I still drive you home?" Justin asks quietly, letting his walls down. Mia inhales and nods her head. "yeah...okay..."

Mia sits in the back and quietly sits there until they stop suddenly. Mia jerks her head, "Ow, fuck me, Alex!" She yells.

"what are you guys doing?" Clay asks. Alex turns the headlights off and starts to drive again.

"Alex," Mia calls out. But he ignores her calls and Clay's.

"We know what you did to Courtney," Justin says. Mia looks at Justin weirdly then Clay. Her eyes go wide, "Are you fucking kidding me? This is about the cemetery thing?! I should've known you didn't want to 'drive me home' just because!" Mia scoffs.

The speed increases, "Jesus, Alex, slow down!" Clay calls out. Mia inhales and holds her breath as she feels memories of her getting the news about Jeff's death in her mind. She grips the back of Clay's seat and closes her eyes,

"You know, you really got to stop fucking with people, Clay." Justin says

"Just slow down..." Mia says quietly. Alex does the opposite and speeds up.

"Okay, I will, I'll stop. Just slow down." Clay adds.

Mia hears a laugh come from Justin and she opens her eyes. "Ease up, we're good." Justin says to Alex.

"Alex, I think he gets it. Slow down." Zach says. Alex increases the speed and Mia looks at Justin, Zach, and Alex.

"Guys...I need to get out...shit..." Mia says with her breathing increasing. Clay looks back at her, "Mia--"

"Alex, please...slow down..." Mia says to him. Alex ignores the calls out to him and keeps going faster.

"What the hell, dude, slow down!" Zach yells. Mia sees memories of Jeff's funeral, her breaking down, not talking to Hannah, everything leading up to who she is now. "FUCK ALEX FUCKING SLOW DOWN!" Mia cries out. Alex snaps out of his daze and pulls the car over as sirens blare behind them.

Justin looks at Mia and sees the tears down her cheeks. "Mia...fuck...holy shit...are you--"

"You boys...and girl want to tell me why you're going 90 in a 40?" The officer asks.

"We were just out for a ride." Alex says.

"We're sorry, officer." Justin says

"Well, you know I could bust you for reckless driving." The officer replies. "You know how much that ticket would be?"

"Five hundred dollars and three points on your license. You want that?" The officer drills into Alex.

"No, sir." Alex answers.

"I suggest you drop these boys off and get your ass home in time for dinner." The officer orders.

Zach and Justin exchange looks but Clay keeps his mind on Mia.

"Alright. You gonna be home in time?" Alex asks.

"Tell mom to save me a plate. And stick to the speed limit, kid. Cause next time, I'll ticket you." The officer stops leaning against the window and taps Alex's shoulder. "Seat belt," He reprimands.

"Night, dad." Alex says.

As Alex's dad walks away Zach and Justin start to laugh. Mia drowns out everything after that and Clay keeps his worried eyes on her. Mia keeps her eyes on the window. As Alex parks in front of her house. Mia's shaky hand reaches for the seat belt and unbuckles it.

"Hey, Mia...I-I-I'm sorry. Okay? I didn't mean to--"

Mia cuts off Alex with a few words. "Fuck you, Alex." She spits and slams the door closed and walks to her house.

As Mia gets into her bed she lays there and traces the bed softly with her finger as she slowly goes to sleep.

Flashback

Mia moans loudly as she feels Jeff's steady pace inside of her become quicker. "God, I love you so much."

Mia tilts her head back and claws Jeff's back. "Jeff." She feels a tightness form in her stomach. She wanted to be so much closer to him. But Mia didn't think it was even possible. She wraps an arm around his neck and pulls his lips against hers. Jeff moans into Mia's mouth.

Jeff's thrusts became slow but deeper. "I'm so close, Em." He moans.

Mia nods her head slowly as she moans. She tangles her hands into his hair and pulls at it, causing Jeff to unravel. He pulls out of Mia and releases. Jeff presses a finger against Mia's clit and begins to rub it. Her breathing begins to rapidly increase and her eyes flutter shut. Jeff connects his lips with Mia's once again and then moves his lips to her neck.

The tightness in Mia's stomach releases and her moans bounce against the walls. Her entire body felt like a heartbeat as white crosses her vision. A small chuckle leaves her lips and she lays her head against her pillow. Jeff lays beside her and grabs the wash cloth from the nightstand. He cleans Mia's stomach while leaving small kisses across her face and body.

Mia softly giggles as he does so. After cleaning up, Jeff wraps his arms around Mia and she snuggled her face against his bare chest. Mia smiles from the faint music playing throughout her room. It was so still. And it was just them. Mia wanted it to be like this forever.

"That was fucking amazing..." She laughs against his chest. Jeff laughs too and softly raves her arm with his fingers.

"I mean...is that such a surprise though?" He asks trying to show off. Mia laughs and kisses his chest. "I mean, yeah. It is, actually."

"What?" Jeff looks down at her.

Mia slightly tilts her chin up and stares at him. "You're a dork, Baby."

Jeff's mouth goes agape and Mia smiles cheekily. She then leans up and gives him a chest kiss. Jeff looks forward at the wall with a small smile.

"God, I do fucking love you, Mia..." Jeff whispers. Mia rolls her lips into her mouth before answering. "I fucking love you too." She begins to smile.

"And I know that we both are very different people, especially from the different extracurriculars we do." Jeff says. Mia looks up at him with her brows furrowed.

"I'm going to support you, on everything you do." Jeff says and sits up. "You should go back to Photography class's"

Mia raises her brows, "Really?" She sits up as well. "Are you--" He places a finger over her mouth and she knits her brows together. "And..." He stands up and puts his boxers on. He walks over to his bag and grabs a notebook from it. Mia gasps loudly. "Jeff, is that my--"

"Yes...it is..." He says, walking back over to the bed. He sits on the edge of the bed and holds it out to her. Mia snatches it from his hand and hits him with it. "I thought I lost this for fucking weeks!" She exclaims.

"Okay, Okay, I'm sorry." Jeff cups her cheeks. "But..." He taps her notebook. "I think you should focus on this." Jeff says.

Mia tilts her head and furrows her brows, "What? Writing?" She asks with a snicker. Jeff rolls his eyes, "No, Calligraphy." He answers.

Mia nods her head and laughs. "No, but seriously...it's fucking amazing. Whether you're writing about your actual life or just writing creatively." He laughs and kisses her nose. "It's fucking amazing, okay? I believe in you with whatever you do," He insists. Mia laughs and smashes her lips onto his.

"I'm sorry, I never said any of this before..." Jeff runs his hands up and down the sides of her thighs. Mia shakes her head, "I think you have excellent timing..." Mia says with a smile. She leans forward and closes the space between their lips. The two teens stayed in Mia's room all night, focused on each other and their love.
