V O T E !

"You should've just told me what's going on," Henry said.

"He's your best friend."

We had just been forced to explain the situation to the principal. Henry and I both claimed that Chase started it but left out the reason why.

Chase, Henry, and Brett all got a 3 day suspension, so they'd all been sent home. I'd decided to just go home with Henry or I wouldn't have a ride later.

"I'm sorry," I said to Henry as we got in his car.

"Don't be sorry. Chase is a dick."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

"It's okay."

"Chase has just been upset lately because I couldn't get him and Olivia back together," I said. Technically, it wasn't a complete lie.

The drive was short. We were finally pulling into our driveway.

"Charlotte. Wait," Henry said, stopping me as I began to get out of the car.

"You don't have to lie to me," He said.

"W-what? What are you talking about?"

"About you.. and Olivia."

I could feel my stomach begin to turn.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said.

"She'll come around."

He never exactly admitted he knew more than what I let on, but his talk did provide me with some comfort.

"Mom's gonna be home soon. I'm gonna go get dressed for dinner," I fake smiled.

We'd decided to eat dinner at a local pizza joint for my birthday. This year, it was just me, Henry, Brett, and my mom. My father was out of the picture. No doubt somewhere across the country living it up with his new family. I'm sure I'd get a happy birthday card in the mail in a few days.

Normally Olivia and Logan would join us, but this year was different. Logan sent me a happy birthday text but I still hadn't heard from Olivia.

"I never trusted that boy," My mom said referring to Chase. She was lying. Chase was a complete angel around my family, and he was one of my mom's favorites.

"Good thing Henry and Brett were there to teach him a lesson," I joked. She wasn't too upset about Henry's suspension, especially since it was in my defense.

"What was he so upset about anyway?" My mom asked.

Oh no. There was no way I could tell my mother the reason why Chase had it out for me. Especially since she was so fond of Brett. I couldn't tell her Chase thought I was in love with his girlfriend.

"How about some dessert?" Henry and Brett both asked at the same time.

"I suppose," My mom said as she began surfing through the dessert menu.

The rest of the night flew by now that my mom had left that topic alone.

"Happy birthday, princess," My mom said, handing me a small box covered in wrapping paper.

"No way."

In the box was the keys to a Honda Accord. I no longer had to hitch a ride from Olivia, Brett, or Henry.

"It's from your father and I," She smiled.

"Thank you. So much."

Even without Olivia, this was one of the best birthdays I'd ever had.

We didn't leave the restaurant until after dark, and I'd gotten a ride home from Brett while my mom and Henry went to pick up my car.

"Thank you for coming tonight. And thank you for yesterday," I said, referring to when he'd gotten completely mauled by Chase in my defense.

"Of course. Look, I wanted to talk to you about—"

"Is that Olivia?!" I shouted as her blue Nissan Altima pulled in front of Brett's car outside of my house.

I immediately got out of the car, waiting for her.

"Can we talk?" She asked. I nodded.

"We can talk later, okay Brett?" I said.

"O-okay. I'll see you tomorrow—" but I was already making my way towards Olivia, so he pulled off.

"I'm sorry," She said. "I'm a horrible best friend."

"I think I beat you in that department," I added.

"I know it's late, but I got you something," she said. "Happy birthday."

She'd handed me a picture frame with an old picture of us, not much older than six.

"Where did you get this picture?" I asked. I could feel a few tears coming from my eyes. It was a day I'd never forget. The day that we first met. My father took the picture when we first moved in.

"I've always had it," She smiled.

"Do you want to come in?" I smiled, wiping away my tears. She nodded.

She hadn't been in my room in what seemed like forever, so we decided to just sit on the bed.

"I broke up with Chase," She said. "Again. And I'm not getting back with him."

It's about time.

"He was a complete jerk to you, and to me. I don't know why I hadn't seen it sooner," She said.

I hadn't said anything yet.

"I should've just listened to you, Char. You know me better than anyone else."

"Please, say something," Her voice began to crack.

"You deserve better than him, Olivia. You deserve someone who knows you like I do, who loves you no matter what. Someone who loves your flaws. You deserve—you just deserve better, and I'm happy you realize that."

"Thank you," She said, now unable to keep in her tears, leaning her head on my shoulder.

"I-I heard what Chase said about you," She said nervously.

There was that feeling from earlier. My stomach tossing and turning.

"It's not true," I said.

"I-I know. But it'd be okay if it were," She said.

"Well it's not."

Her head was now sitting up off from my shoulder and now she was just looking at me. Her stare was familiar. Very familiar. And just like that, she kissed me.

"W-what are you doing?" I asked.

"I just—"

"Olivia, I told you the rumor wasn't true."

"I just miss you," she said.

"I'm with Brett."

"And I was with Chase. It doesn't have to mean anything."

There was a long pause. Olivia wanted to get back to how things used to be, but I was with Brett now. And I wasn't like her. I wasn't a cheater. But— just like she said, it's not cheating, right?

"Isn't this cheating?" I asked.

"No," She said. "You can still love Brett, and me. Just like I loved Chase and you. You're my best friend, Char. I just want to be closer to you."

"Friends.. with benefits?" I reminded her.

"Friends with benefits. No strings attached. Besides, we're both straight so it doesn't matter."

Right. We're both straight.

I nodded, allowing her to resume the kiss. I hadn't felt her lips in so long. The feeling was electrifying. I could feel the kiss deepening and speeding.

Soon enough, Olivia had already moved on top of me and tugged off her pants, then her shirt. She was only left in her underwear, so I figured I better do the same.

She grabbed both of my arms, holding them above my head. Just like before, her kisses moved down from my mouth, to my neck, and to my stomach. She finished pulling off my pants before making her way lower down my body.

I couldn't hold in my moans any longer, and she smiled as they escaped from my mouth. Her head was now between my thighs, making love to my lower body. She started slow, kissing the inner parts of my thighs. But I wanted more than what she was teasing.

Eventually, her mouth moved to where I had hoped it would. She had spread my legs out more, making way for her mouth to explore inside me.

"I-missed.. you," I said in between pants.

Her hands were no longer holding my arms down, instead they were pleasuring me also.

"Shit," I said as I held on to her head as she continued to pleasure me. It was no longer her mouth, but now her fingers which felt just as good.

As she came back up, she smiled and made her way back up my body, kissing each and every inch. She now moved off of me, positioning herself on the bed for me to do the work. And I was happy to.

I started with her chest, her bare beautiful chest. I had tugged her bra off, now examining the bareness in front of me. I let my tongue do the work on her nipples while a few of my fingers ran down to explore the rest of her body, causing her to moan.

"I—missed you....more."

Everything was as it should be. Back to normal.

Or so I thought.
