“Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.”

"Wouldn’t you?" Alex asked, serious now. He shook his head slightly. "The odds of me getting arrested for fucking are substantially lower than getting arrested for possession. He caught me smoking once and almost kicked me out." he admitted to her. "My mom convinced him to let me stay, if I cleaned up my act. I didn’t, but what they don’t know won’t hurt them."

Zelda smirked a bit at his question but ignored it. "Jeez." She bit her lip, listening to his story. "I guess that makes sense." Zelda shrugged with the shoulder that wasn't against him. It didn't seem like it'd be that hard to not get caught with weed.

Alex’s Father looked stunned. He stared at Zelda, then at Alex, then back at Zelda, before yanking his son into the hallway. There were some whispers, and then Alex came back in on his own, shutting the door behind him. “He asked if we were protected and I said you were on the pill, just so you know.” he winked, turning the fan off and smirking contentedly as he plopped down next to her again and put his arm around her. He kissed her hair and laughed slightly. “He didn’t seem that surprised, honestly. I think he assumed we’ve been doing it for awhile. He said he’d tell my mom we were studying, but that we should find a better place for our ‘activities’.”

"I'm offended he'd think I'd sleep with you." She smiled, teasing him. Zelda leaned into him again. "So why does he care if you smoke but not if you have sex? Isn't having sex kinda more..dangerous?" She knew it wasn't immediately dangerous but you could get pregnant or an STD from sex. Nothing would happen from weed.

Alex began to laugh to himself as he saw Zelda covering her mouth. His Dad was still banging up a storm and he covered his own mouth, grabbing some eye-drops. He squirted some into his eyes to get rid of the red tint that pot caused. He blinked, then dabbed his eyes with some nearby tissues. “Here, cover yourself with the blanket.” he whispered, pulling the blanket up to her chest for her and kissing her forehead. “Face too, if you don’t want my Dad to judge you.” he teased, taking off his pajama pants and leaving himself in his boxers. “Alex!” his Father shouted. “I’m coming!” Alex yelled back, going to the door and whipping it open. “Look!” he yelled, faking anger. “A girl! Are you satisfied?!”

[lbrzel-blog]

Zelda bit down on her bottom lip, smiling as he pulled the blanket towards her. Zelda nodded a bit at his words, pulling it up her body. She was wearing a tank top so it was easier to take like she was naked.  She didn't cover up her face. Part of her just wanted to see his reaction. She kept her eyes on the blanket. Zelda had to force a smile off her face.

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

A grin spread across his mouth as he kissed her. He moved in closer, chest to chest with her, one arm around her body and one supporting his weight on the bed. His tongue went into her mouth and he slowly kissed her until - “Alex! What is that I smell?!” It was his Father’s voice, one not heard around the house much. Alex jumped back, then sprung up from the bed, locking the door. “I’m naked! I’ve got a girl in here.” he called. It was better than admitting her had pot. Jogging over, he opened his window and turned on a fan, pointing it toward the window and airing some smoke out. He gave Zelda an apologetic look, which eventually turned into a boyish smile as his Dad continued to knock. “There’s no girl in there. You’ve got until the count of three Alex!”

[lbrzel-blog]

Zelda was about to say something to confirm that there was a girl on her but held back when she remembered that she was sixteen and Alex was eighteen. She didn't want his father freaking out that Zelda was too young or something. She put her hand on top of her mouth, keeping herself from laughing. 

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

Alex watched her slowly lean in to him, and then felt their lips touch. He kissed her back, his finger gently holding her chin to tilt her face up while his tilted down. His kiss was gentle and warm, because he was actually in the mood to kiss tonight. Usually he just wanted to skip it and do something dirtier, but tonight, with Zelda, he was content with this. Turning, he faced her more and wrapped an arm around her waist, kissing her more deeply.

[lbrzel-blog]

Zelda was new to all of this. Of course she knew what sex was and how it worked but the acts were new and still made her nervous. Reaching up, she cupped his cheek, feeling him snake his arm around her waist. Part of her wanted to just pull back and ask about the poem but she was happy being there with him like this.

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

"Let’s just not talk about it." he said, closing the book quickly and tossing it to the side. He put his arm around her again, hoping that she didn’t ask about the poem. He took another drag of his blunt, before squashing the light of it and setting it to the side to smoke later. They were both just short of high - high enough to feel good, sober enough to be composed. "Thanks for coming over tonight Zel. I know you’d rather be doing your nerd things. But I wanted to see you." he said, looking down at her, their faces kind of close.

[lbrzel-blog]

"Okay." Zelda wanted to badly to ask about it but she held back, biting down on her bottom lip. "No problem. Nerd things get boring after a while." She smiled a bit. She was still a little worried about how she got caught not long ago with her "nerd things" but she pushed that from her thoughts. Zelda leaned in, kissing him gently.

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

Alex didn’t expect her to ask. But, when she did, he did something unsuspected. “Um … yeah. One thing.” he told her, his voice riddled with uncertainty. Biting his lower lip, he took his arm off of her and turned to a page. Glancing to make sure that there was nothing about her, he passed it over to let her read something. “It’s shitty. I wrote it at like three am.”

[lbrzel-blog]

Zelda smiled when he said yeah. "Really?" She smiled, wasn't expecting that. Zelda was happy though. "I doubt its bad." Zelda took the book from him and read the words on the page. "That's..really good." Zelda wasn't sure what to think of the poem. She liked it but the meaning behind it didn't seem too innocent or happy.

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

"Just something that I write my ideas in." he told her after putting the book away. He took the joint from her hands and slowly dragged the smoke into his lungs. Eyes closed, he held it inside of him, before slowly exhaling it. He thought for a moment about letting Zelda read something in his journal … but quickly closed himself off to the idea. no one had ever read anything of his before - he’d quoted some of it when he felt like it, but aside from school-based things, which meant nothing to him, no one had truly heard his voice as a writer. Part of him was afraid that the self-crushing doubt that he had in his mind in regards to his abilities would always keep him from being heard. Maybe he should reconsider. Though, he doubted that she would even be interested … plus, as of late, a good deal of his writings had been inspired by her, or the situations that she put him in. Deep in thought, he gently played with her hair, twisting a lock of it around his fingers absently.

[lbrzel-blog]

"Can I see?" She bat her eyelashes, smiling jokingly. She was pretty sure there was no way in hell she was going to see it but it was worth seeing his reaction to it. She glanced down at his hand that played with his hair. With one of her fingers, she tapped gently on his leg.

It’s going to take you even longer if you talk, Loser.

[lbrzel-blog]

Hang on. Be right back.

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

I’m only waiting, Zel. Go ahead and pick something out. Fifty-six, fifty-five, fifty-four...

[lbrzel-blog]

Its gonna take me more then fifty-four seconds to change. 

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

Sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight, fifty-seven …

[lbrzel-blog]

Shhhhh. 

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

Remind me to introduce you to some girls later.

[lbrzel-blog]

Stop whining. It'll only be a minute.

[audreysmh-deactivated20140921]

I hate seeing couples around school. I think it’s just jealousy considering I haven’t held someone’s hand in months, let alone kissed.

[lbrzel-blog]

Couples are really depressing, I'm with you.

"Well, I just wish you would stop because I don’t want you to get in any trouble. I’m trying my hardest to be that cool teacher, but you’ve gotta work with me here." Jason calmly said. "Well, tutor them don’t help cheat. They do deserve to graduate yes, but by the time they go to college they won’t have you around anymore and they won’t be able to pass. Help them study, don’t help them cheat." He made a point, cheating wasn’t the answer it wouldn’t give them the right education they need for college. "I don’t believe you." Jason looked her in the eye, he knew better to believe these teens.

[lbrzel-blog]

"To get in trouble, proof would be needed." Zelda said simply. She was smart enough to cover her tracks. "Cause I don't do papers for people." She crossed her legs. "I do tutor." She nodded a bit at his words. "Well, you're just going to have to believe me, Mr. Oaks."

Why do I have to be here for this?

[lbrzel-blog]

I don't have any lady friends. So suck it up.

[broken-tina-acc-deactivated2015]

"You’re getting better at not choking." he said to her with a little grin. They laid back in his bed and he put an arm around her, taking the joint back and inhaling himself. He knew that this wasn’t good for Zelda. She didn’t get why they did it, she didn’t care whether she partook either way, and it was a waste of her time. It actually mattered if her time was wasted. But the selfish part of him ignored all of that, telling himself that she had free will and could easily decline coming over. He didn’t want to be alone, and she didn’t either. So here they were, and he was too high to care if he was being a shitty friend because of it. He passed the joint back to her and reached for his journal, opening it on his leg because his other free arm was still around her. He then began to jot something down, before closing the book again and lying his head back.

[lbrzel-blog]

"Thanks." She said, almost as if it was a question. Zelda moved into him a bit when he put his arm around her. She took a drag from the joint, watching him bring out a journal. "Whats that?" She asked after she exhaled and passed the joint back to him. Zelda couldn't say she minded getting high. It didn't bother her in any way. It just seemed pointless. It was a lot of peoples way of socialzing, though. It was also a way of self medicating for a lot of people. So she just did it. Zelda started playing with her hair, getting distracted.
