Jump In Day
Gif by me.
I hope everyone enjoys some Cody Culp. First time writing for Class of 1999.
Today was the day. You were officially becoming a black heart. After years of hanging with them and dating a highly respected member. You figured it was finally time to get your heart.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Like you do know what's going to happen, right"? Cody Culp, your boyfriend of four years held you in his arms as you sat on his lap. It crossed his mind that you would want to join the black hearts in the future but he forgot the process of getting in.
"Yes, I've seen how many jump ins. I'm prepared for it. Alright, so don't go easy on me cause I'm your girlfriend". You kissed his cheek and laid your head on his shoulder.
"You know, Dawn is going to have field day with jumping you in".
"Yeah, I know. She hates me. But I dont see why, she has Curt. Is she really that jealous of me because I'm with you"?
"I dont know, doll. I don't want to be there when they do it. Would you hate me if I didn't show"? Cody wasnt feeling the whole jump in. He didnt want to see you hurt. He wasn't there for Angel's jump in but he hated every bit of it.
"Cody, you're going to be there. Making sure Dawn doesnt kill me in the process". You laugh but Cody shook his head.
"That's not funny. What happens if one of the guys take it to far and really hurt you"?
"Cody, just think of me as a fellow member. Would you be worried about them"?
"No".
"Alright. So dont worry. I'll get some punches in". You cupped his face, kissing his lips.
"You ready"?
"No".
"Come on, Mr. Sulky pants. You gotta think of where I should put my black heart. Maybe somewhere only you can see"? You teased Cody.
"You need to behave". He laughed.
"I dont think so". You say straddling his bike with a smirk.
"After you're jumped in, we're going back to your place so I can punish you for this". Cody threw his leg over and you scooted up close to him. Wrapping your arms around his waist.
"Yes, sir". You kissed his neck. Cody took off and headed to the black heart hangout.
"Our new jumpie, get ready for pain". Dawn growled into the microphone as she glared at you.
Cody stood by your side, he held your hand. "Let's go then, Dawn". You huffed. She jumped off the stage and punched you in the nose. You felt Cody let go of your hand, it may have been jerked from his hand. But you were on the ground. It felt like ten sets of boots were stomping you while razor blades smashed into your body.
You heard the gun shots echo through the building. The beating must have knocked you out cause when you came too. Cody was holding your head in his lap. His cheeks stained with tears. Your body ached, it was wrecked.
"I told you, you went to hard on her"! Cody yelled at Dawn and Curt. Dawn sat beside Curt with a grin on her face.
"She's a black heart now. She can take it". Curt rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, Cody. I'm a black heart now". You smiled, a dry lump in your throat. You raised your arm and wiped a tear that fell from his face.
"They went to hard on you. I had to drag Dawn off of you. They could've killed you". Cody sniffled, his thumb rubbed your bruised cheek.
"I'm fine. Could use a drink". You started to cough, then a wheeze came from your chest.
"God, I think you broke a rib". Cody held your ribs and felt one shift as you breathed. "We need to get her to a hospital, man". Cody went to help you up but Dawn got in the way.
"She needs her black heart". Dawn gritted her teeth.
"Later. Let me take her to make sure she didn't hurt anything". Cody pushed her out of the way.
"You know what, Culp? You gone fucking soft. Ever since you got with her, you went soft". Dawn was expressing her anger.
"I havent. I just dont want to see my girlfriend die because you cant control your jealousy towards her. Why you so jealous, Dawn"? Cody tilted his head as he looked her in the eyes. "Huh"?
"That bitch stole what's mine". Dawn gulped looking from Cody to you. Her hands balled into a fist.
"But you're with Curt now. It shouldn't matter if I'm with Y/N or not. She's one of us now and if you dont like it, Dawn. I'll will force you out". Cody got into Dawn's face. Cody was higher up in the Black hearts and could do whatever he wanted. He could get anyone to turn on anyone.
"You wouldn't".
"Oh but I would. See, you are just another black heart girl. But Y/N, she is my queen of hearts. She is THE queen of hearts. Curt may have ran the gang while I was away but I'm back and he has no say in what I can and can not do to the members. Dont give me another reason to boot your ass to the curb, Dawn. Know your place". Cody bent down and picked you up carefully, he hurried to his bike and sat you on it. You hissed as you felt your weight shift.
"I'm sorry. Let's get you to the hospital". Cody got on and he wrapped your arms around his waist. Turning the key and bolting out of the parking lot. He drove straight to the hospital. You weren't looking so good.
(Beep, beep)
"How is she"? Angel came into the room you were in. Cody had fallen asleep in the chair.
"She's going to be okay". Cody yawned. "Gotta few cracked ribs, busted up face and one of her fingers is broken. I think Dawn broke her finger when she jerked her hand out of mine". Cody rubbed the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry. They didnt rough me up that bad when I was jumped. I didn't think they would do that to Y/N". Angel looked down at the ground.
"It wasn't all the black hearts. Just Dawn. She's had it out for Y/N since we started dating. I cant believe she's that jealous".
"I dont think she's jealous of you two dating". Angel looked up at his brother.
"You know something, Angel"?
"I over heard Curt and Dawn talking after the party. Dawn's worried that she wont be part of the black hearts anymore. Just a black heart girl. You gotta think man, Dawn had been the main girl for a long time. No other black heart girl would step up as she would. Now she's afraid that she's being replaced. You wont need her anymore".
"Dawn is a member. She wont be replaced".
"Then you need to tell her that. Maybe she wont be such a bitch". Angel chuckled.
"Okay. Thanks, Angel". Cody smiled.
Angel stayed for a while but then headed home. He had to get home to study. Yeah it made Cody laugh as well.
Cody looked out of the window, watching the stars start coming out.
"Why didnt you go home with Angel"? Your hoarse voice made Cody smile and turn in his seat.
"Cause I would have missed this. Glad you're awake. I thought I was going to lose you". Cody reached for your hand and held it in his.
"I heard what Angel said about Dawn. I'm not trying to replace her. I just want to be with you. She can have the throne. If its going to cause this much trouble and pain. I dont want it". You gulped, a hot tear rolled down your cheek.
"I just said that to her so she knows that she cant treat you this way or any other girl that comes into the black hearts. She needs to know that she isnt the only one. I'll talk to her. Just rest and get better". Cody stood up and kissed your forehead.
"Yeah, I still have to place my black heart".
"I know exactly where to put it". Cody gently snuggled into the bed with you. You were going to be there a couple days to heal up enough to go home. But you didnt mind it that much since he was by your side. That all was great until you had to go to hangout and confront your jumper.
"Look who's back from the dead". Curt laughed sticking out his tongue, banging on the floor.
"That's not funny, man. She could have died". Cody shook his head. He helped you over and gently sat with you on the ragged out couch.
"Oh lighten up, Cody. She's alive".
"Barely, no thanks to Dawn. Speaking of Dawn, where is she"? Cody and you looked around.
"She's hiding".
"Hiding? From what"? Cody scoffed.
"From us". You squeezed Cody's hand and went to stand up. "Where is she"? You asked, stepping towards Curt.
"In the back. Storage room". Curt knew you weren't going to hurt her so he told you.
"I'll be back. I'm going to fix this". You held your side and started walking back. Cautiously.
"Dawn? I come in peace". You quietly laugh.
She stepped out of the back door. "You here for your revenge? Beat me to a pulp"?
"No. I just dont understand why you thought I was going to take your place? All I want is Cody. You can have the throne of black hearts. I love Cody and I joined to be closer to him. Not to step in your spotlight". You sigh, folding your arms over your chest and leaning against the wall.
"Does everyone think I want Cody"?
"Yeah. Until we heard the truth. You're intimidated by me. I don't know why. Like I said. I want Cody. Not the black hearts. I'm just a member of the gang".
"Yeah and Cody's girl. Everyone expects you to be the queen of hearts. Cody's the king".
"Why dont we go back inside and let Cody explain". You held out your arm for her to take. She was hesitant but took it.
"Sorry I was brutal on you".
"It's okay. Just dont do it again". You both laugh and walk back into the room with Curt and Cody.
"Everything alright"? Cody asked coming up by your side, his hand on your lower back.
"Yeah". You leaned your head on his shoulder.
"So I was telling Curt that I'm letting go of my black heart duties and passing them to him. He's the king of black hearts. So Dawn that means you're the queen of hearts. Don't let that go to your head". Cody snickered.
"Are you leaving"? Dawn looked worried.
"No, just taking a back seat. Curt is a great leader. I just want to chill with my friends, my brothers and my girl. I had fun but it's time for a change". Cody looked at you and smiled.
"You're really doing this, arent you"? Dawn muttered, shocked.
"Yeah. I think itll be for the best. But before we run off and let you two have the throne. We need to get Y/Ns black heart".
"Oh, yeah. Where you getting it"? Dawn jumped towards you and Cody.
"Chest. Like Cody's but I want Cody to tattoo it on me. He's going to add his name". You smiled at Cody, his lips turned into a smirk. Curt and Dawn gagged with a laugh.
Curt sat up the tattoo gun and you laid down on the couch with just your bra covering your chest. Cody tried to angle himself over you so Curt couldnt see anything but Curt was nosey.
"I love you, this may hurt". Cody kissed your lips and dipped the gun in ink.
"I think I can handle it. I got the shit kicked out of me by Dawn". You laughed. Cody shook his head and started tattooing the black heart on your chest with CC underneath the heart.
You were apart of the black hearts and apart of Cody. Cody was a part of you. One big happy family.
