Stay // Johnnie Guilbert

Chapter 12

Phoenix's pov:

We pulled away from the kiss. I looked into Johnnie's eyes.

"I've wanted to say that for a long time..." I said breaking the silence.

"Me too Phoenix... I've ..- really liked you for a long time. Like more than friends, I just didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure if you felt the same."

"I definitely feel the same way Johnnie. You mean the world to me and I really mean it." I said glaring at him.

"You too Phoenix. You have made my life so much better and I'm really thankful I've met you I just can't even believe it." He said looking at me.

"So do you wanna be like... my girlfriend?" He said biting his nails.

"What kind of question is that?- of course Johnnie!" I jumped on him and hugged him.

He tightly hugged me back.

"We should get some sleep, we got to get your things tomorrow since you're moving in with me."

"Yeah.. I just don't know what my parents are gonna say."

"Who cares? They can't stop you, I mean they are going out of town again in a week, it's fucking ridiculous." He replied.

"You're right. They can't stop me, I just wanna be with you."

"I wanna be with you too, forever and ever."

I smiled. I've finally felt at peace and I haven't felt so happy in a long time. I love Johnnie so much.

"Let's go to bed phee."

"Alright, I am sleepy." I said yawning.

"I'm sure you are."

Me and Johnnie crawled in bed. I pulled the covers over us and turned off his lamp.

Johnnie kissed me and I set my head on his chest.

He rubbed my back as I drifted to sleep.

Morning

I woke up to Johnnie slightly shaking me.

"Good morning beautiful." He said smiling.

"Good morning." I said rubbing my eyes smiling.

"You ready to get your things?" He asked rubbing his fingers through my hair.

"Yeah, I'm gonna get ready." I said yawning.

"Alright phee." He said.

He planted a kiss on my cheek, and I got up out of bed to begin getting ready.

I put on some of Johnnie's clothes, I was feeling lazy today so I just put my hair in a messy bun, and smudged some eyeliner on my eye.

"I'm ready let's go." I said to Johnnie.

"Mkay cmon."

We left Johnnie's house and walked over to my house.

My heart was racing. I didn't know how my parents were going to react with Johnnie being here, especially me moving in with him.

I bit my fingernails.

"Hey you okay phee? It's gonna be alright. I got you."

"I'm okay, just nervous I really don't know how they are going to react, and I don't think it's gonna be good."

"I'll stick up for you if I have to. You're coming with me regardless."

I grinned looking at him.

We arrived at my house. I knocked on my door nervously waiting for a response.

My dad opened my door. Great. My DAD.

"Where were you young lady?"

"Uhh I was with my friend.. Johnnie."

Johnnie waved.

"So you're out with a fucking boy now?" He snickered.

I smelled the alcohol on his breath. This was not going to end well.

Fuck.

"Um yeah?" I said.

"Get in this damn house."

"Well actually dad I-"

"LISTEN TO WHAT I SAID! GET IN THIS DAMN HOUSE!" He yelled at me.

"But dad-"

He grabbed my arm really hard and dragged me inside.

"Ow stop!"

"Hey let her go dude!" Johnnie yelled while pulling my arm.

"LET THE FUCK GO!" My drunk dad yelled at Johnnie.

"Dad stop!!!" I said.

"What is going on down here?!" My mom said running up to us.

"YOUR DAUGHTER IS OVER HERE FUCKING BOYS!"

"What the hell!?I didn't even say that-" I said starting to tear up.

"You're grounded!" My mom yelled at me.

"No the fuck she's not! She's moving out because she found bags of drugs in your floorboards! You guys are terrible fucking parents and you need to realize that!" Johnnie snapped.

Both of my parents froze in their tracks.

"W-what are you talking about?" My mom said looking shocked.

"He's right! I'm not staying here!" I said to my parents.

I walked past them and stomped upstairs. Johnnie followed.

I got some backpacks that I have and angrily shoved my clothes into the bags. Whatever that could fit.

Johnnie helped.

I grabbed some other things that I needed, like my makeup, and other items.

I ran downstairs.

I reached for Johnnie's hand and held it tightly.

"Bye mom, bye dad." I said looking into their eyes.

"Phoenix you can't just-"

I slammed the door.
