I Dare You

"Do you know who they are?!," I yelled as I drove as fast as I could to Aphrodite's house.

"Some of the cheerleaders and some of the football players. They told me they were going to do something like this," said Kimberly as she looked through her phone.

"What do you mean?". She knew about this?!

"They told me they were gonna do something like this, but they didn't tell me to who! They asked if I wanted to join them".

"Do you know who planned it?".

"Andy's gang". That. Back. Stabbing. Mother...

"Fucker!". I stepped on the gas petal.

"Whoa, Janice slow down!," yelled Kimberly.

"The faster we go, the faster we get there!".

*Aphrodite's POV*

"Fuck you!," I yelled as I pushed one of the girls to the ground. Who would do this? One minutes we're all having fun, talking, laughing. Next minute someone's slamming on my door, telling me to go out and fight like a man. Does it look like I have a penis?! I looked around to and saw Frank on one of the guy's back, punching them behind the head, Mikey kicking other one in the ribs, and Andy on top of another one, punching them in the face. Some how Crystal and Brendon got into the fight. All of them were wearing mask.

"Aph, watch out!," yelled Crystal. I turned and had a fist hit my face. That was not a girl! I looked up and looked into familiar hazel eyes.

"Missed me?," They said. Gerard?

"You! You're the one behind all this!". He grabbed me by my hair and wrapped it around his fist. I hissed as he turned me around to face away from him.

"You didn't think I was gonna let you get away with it, did you?". He laughed as he walked towards his car, pulling me with him.

"Andy!". Andy looked up and ran towards me, only to be grabbed by two other guy.

"Aphrodite!," Andy yelled, trying to set himself free.

"You have no one to save you know, bitch!".

"Let go of her, fucker!," I heard someone yell. Gerard let me go and fell to the ground. He started bleeding from his nose. There's more of them!.

"You okay, honey". I turned around to see my dad.

"Daddy!," I immediately hugged him with all my strength.

"Did they hurt you?! You're bleeding from you cheek!," he said as he wiped the blood with his thumb.

"I'm fine, dad. Nothing I can't handle," I smiled.

"Excuse me while I got kick some ass," he smiled as he made his way to one of the guys who was holding Andy down.

"Aph!," I heard Janice.

"Janice!". I ran towards her. She hugged me tightly.

"Are you okay?".

"I'm fine, my dad saved me".

"What are we waiting for?! Let's go help him!," yelled Kimberly as pulled one of the girls by the hair and dragged her off Crystal.

"You take the brunette, I'll take the blonde," I said to Janice. She nodded and made her way towards her.

"Yo, bitch!," I yelled. The blonde turned around. I gathered all my strength and punched her in the face.

"Ow, my nose!," she yelled as she fell to the ground.

"Learned it from my dad!".

*Andy's POV*

"Watch out!," I yelled as I punch one of the guys, who was aiming for Aphrodite dad.

"Thanks son," he smiled as he head budded the guy he had in his hands. Whoa, he's a badass. Just like I remember.

"Don't mention it, sir," I smiled back. I looked around and saw Aphrodite punch a blonde in the face. She seriously looks so hot when she fights. I walked up to her and hugged her from behind.

"Let me go, asshole!," she yelled as she scratched my arms.

"Ow Aphrodite, it's me!," I yelled as I let her go. She turned around and smiled.

"Oh my, God! I'm so sorry!". She wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back and lifted her slightly.

"You okay?". I put her down at looked at her.

"Yeah. Thanks for taking that punch for me before this all started, you're my hero".

"I'll never let anyone hurt you". She gave me a quick peak on the lips. By this point, the majority of the guys and girls had left in their car, taking all the ass kicking they could take. There were only two girls and three guys left.

"Who's that?," I asked as I looked at a guy standing in the middle of the drive way.

"The fucker who punched me in the face, Gerard".

"Gerard?". That motherfucker! I told him not to. I started making my way towards him, but was pulled back.

"No Andy, he's mine," said Aphrodite as she stood in front of him. I looked around and everyone was staring at them.

*Aphrodite's POV*

"Congratulations Gerard, you just showed all of us how much of a pathetic prick you are," I said as I stared into his eyes.

"I'm pathetic?," he laughed," you needed your precious daddy to save you".

"Watch your mouth!," yelled dad.

"And you need to gather a gang to get to me! Even they couldn't even stand by your side".

"They came here to fight with me!".

"Only to leave you behind while they ran for their own safety. Quite the friends you have! Too afraid to get their asses kicked".

He removed his mask and throw it aside.

"And you think I'm afraid off you? You think I'm afraid of all these good for nothing fuckers?! All of you are nothing, but a joke, scrum, a waste of life".

"Oh please! Look in the fucking mirror, Gerard! All you do is bully people! You think you're better than everyone else, but the fact is you're not. You're not better than me, you're not better than them, you're not better than anyone. You're just someone who's afraid to be who they are. Afraid to be rejected, afraid to be hurt, afraid to be made fun of. Well guess what boy, that's apart of life. You're gonna get pushed around, you're gonna get made fun, you're gonna get hurt, and all you have to do his keep your head held high. Look around you. We've been pushed around, we've been made fun of, we've been hurt, but no matter what your people do we move on. We keep our head held high and not worry about the words you call. Even if we are losers, faggots, worthless, or fucked up.". I looked over at Mikey, who had tears running down his face.," Look at you're brother".

Gerard slowly turned his head and looked at Mikey. "Look at what you did to him. Look at how you hurt him. The person who was your only friend when you moved here when you were kids and you hurt him. He was your best friend and this is how you repay him? With bruises and blood? You're the fucking scum. You're the fucking joke. You're the fucking waste of life!". Gerard lowered his head. I looked at him carefully and saw a few tears fall down his face." But you know what's the saddest thing about all of this? He still loves you. Even after you beated the shit out of him, he still loves you. If he were my brother, I would love him every second of every day, because he's one of the most amazing guys I've ever meet.".

"I..is that true?," asked Gerard as he looked at Mikey. Mikey nodded his head.

"Of course it is! You're my flesh and blood. You're my older brother. You're family," said Mikey as he slowly walked towards Gerard. "You may hurt me physically, but that's nothing compared to how much it hurts knowing that we can never be like we use to be. I might be gay Gerard, but that doesn't change who I am as a person. I'm still the same annoying, four-eye, shy psycho who loves unicorns". Gerard chuckled and sniffed.

"Gerard, I believe you someone an apology," I tilted my head slightly and smiled at him. He stared at me for a few seconds and pulled Mikey into a hug.


"I'm so sorry, Mikes! I..I don't mean to hurt you so much. I just wanted to be noticed and have friends and I thought getting away from you was the only way," he said as more tears ran down his face.

"It's okay, Gerard. It's fine," said Mikey as he hugged him back.

"No, it's not okay! I treated you like shit, made fun of you all the time, and I bet the shit out of you just to make me seem cool," Gerard grabbed Mikey by the face and looked into his eyes," but I promise you things will change. We'll start hanging out more, start doing things together again, I'll even start hanging out with you're boyfriend also".

"Really?". Gerard nodded and pulled him in for another hug. I cleared my throat.

"I actually meant you owe me an apology, but this is good too," I smirked. Gerard laughed and pulled me into a hug. Wow, this is weird from his usual man handling from behind.

"Okay Gerard, you're crushing me". He said sorry and let me go. I should become a councilor, I'm so good at this!

"Well! What do we do now?," I asked as we all looked around.

"You guys and girls are gonna clean this blood off of my drive way! I don't need my neighbors thinking a massacre happened here," said dad as he picked up his suit jacket from the ground. They all groaned.

"The holes is in the side, the scrub should be next to it.Enjoy".

"You heard him! Clean!," I yelled as I walked to Andy and dragged him inside my house. One by one we all sat on the couch. Crystal and Brendon went to her room, I sat on Andy's lap, Kimberly sat on Janice's lap, Frank forcefully sat on Gerard's lap, and Mikey sat on the ground.

"I need someone to sit on! I need Jayy," pouted Mikey.

"So, what are you gonna tell the rest of your gang who ran off?," I asked Gerard.

"I don't know. I didn't expect for this to happen, but thank you for opening my eyes. I never thought you, out of all people, you would do that".

"You're welcome and I do deserve to punch you in the face".

"Why?". I pointed at the bruise on my cheek.

"Right, you have a point". He picked Frank up and sat him next to him and got up.

"No Aph, don't do it! You're gonna ruin his beautiful face!," yelled Frank. Gerard looked at me confused. I got up and stood in front of him.

"He likes you...a lot," I shrugged.

"Ah, that explained why he's sitting on me". He looked back and Frank winked.

"You ready?," I asked as I balled my fist. He took in a couple of breaths and closed his eyes.

"I'm ready". I leaned my arm back a bit and punched him on the cheek.

"Holy hell!," he groaned and grabbed placed his hand on his cheek. Frank pulled him on to the couch and hugged him.


"Are you satisfied?," Frank asked.

"Very," I smiled.


"You monster".

"Is everything good down here?," I heard dad's voice. I turned around and saw him coming down the stairs.

"Yeah, just getting my revenge".

"Who taught you how to punch?," groaned Gerard.

"The best daddy in the world," I smiled and hugged him.

"So after all that, that happened outside, you're all cool?," he asked in confusion.

"He said he was sorry to Mikey and I and you always say everyone deserves a second chance". He chuckled.

"I did. Hurt my daughter again, I'll kill you. Understand? You teenagers are confusing". Gerard stared at him widely.

"Yes, sir".

"Dad, I want you meet Andy, my boyfriend".

"Andy? That name sounds familiar".

"Amy's son," Andy said as he stood, sticking out his hand for a hand shake.

"Ah, yes! You and Didi here use to be best friends. You do know she'd tell me everything you'd do to her in school. Same goes to you, you hurt her, I'll kill you," he said as he shook his hand.

"Don't worry sir, that will never happen again. Plus, remembering how you and my dad use to wrestle when ever we'd come over, I wouldn't want to get on your bad side".

"Smart man, anyways I need to get some rest. Have a big day at work tomorrow. Enjoy yourselves everyone and goodnight," he kissed my forehead and walked up stairs.

"Goodnight!," we all yelled.

"I should head home also, I have cheerleading practice tomorrow. Give me a ride Gerard?," said Kimberly as she stood up.

"Yeah sure," he said got up with Frank on his back.

"Frankie! Leave the poor man alone!".

"But..but..".

"Off! I've only meet you today and it feels like I've known you forever".

"I know! It's that crazy!". He hesitated at first, but eventually got off Gerard.

"I had fun today. I'm sorry we didn't get to finish what we started, but we should defiantly finish it sometime soon," winked Kimberly.

"And that we shall," Janice winked back. Kim blew her a kiss and walked out with Gerard close behind her.

"So, how was your first date?".

"Let's just say I went straight to home base," she leaned back.

"Wow, that easy!". "Apparently she wanted me as much as I wanted her".

"See I told you!". We both laughed.

"I think I should be heading home also," said Andy.

"No! Please don't leave. This is the longest time we've ever spent together". He can't go home now!

"I have to".


*Andy's POV*

"No you don't. You can sleep alone with Aph in her room. Mikey, Frank, and I will sleep here," winked Janice. Me stay here?

"I don't know".

"Please!," begged Aphrodite as she gave me her puppy eyes. Uh, I can't say no to that.

"Fine! Fine! I'll stay!".

"Yay! Come on, let's go to bed, I'm tired," said Aphrodite as she dragged me upstairs.

"Have fun up there! Use protection!," said Janice. She reminds me Ashley sometimes. Once I stepped inside her room, memories came to my mind. Nothing has really changed in here except the color of her walls and her bed.

"I like the color of your room," I said as I looked around.

"Red, my favorite color".

"I can tell, even your hair is red.

"You don't like it?".

"Of course I do! It's beautiful". She blushed and walked into her closet. I looked around more and a picture caught my attention. A picture sitting on a drawer, next to her bed. I sat on her bed and grabbed the frame. I remember this day and when the picture was take. We were around six or seven years old. We were both playing inside and inflatable pool while our dads wrestled on the grass. Our dad use to be in the wrestling team when they were in high school. Thanks to them, the team remained undefeated for four years. Our moms told us to pose for a picture. So Aphrodite kissed me on the cheek and I laughed. They snapped a picture of that very moment. I can't believe she still has this, but most importantly, has it next to her bed.

"You ready for bed?," she asked as she walked out of her closet in her pajamas. A red tank top and red shorts. I raised the picture frame and smiled.

"You still have this".

"Yeah, not only to remind me of us, but to remind me of my mom," she said as she sat down next to me.

"You really miss her, don't you?".

"Yeah, I need her more than she thinks. That is, if she even thinks about us. I remember everyday when she drop us off at school she would tell me 'Be bad in school and get sent to the principle's office as much as you can. That way you can get expelled and we can be together forever'".

"That's...some how adorable". She chuckled.

"Are you gonna sleep in that?". I looked down at myself and remembered I dress like a hobo today.

"To be honest, I sleep in boxers". She'll probably gonna want me to go home for sure now.

*Aphrodite's POV*

He still sleeps in only boxers. That's adorable!

"You always did. Come on now, get....undressed".

"Are you sure?".

"Yes, I want you to sleep comfortable," I said as I went to the other side of the bed. He shrugged and started removing his shirt. Holy shit, I forgot about his sexiness! We're not six years anymore. I watched him as he reveal his soft looking, pale chest. I slowly crossed my legs as he moved his hands to his belt. He unbuckled his belt and let his pants fall. Is this how it's gonna look when we have sex? Just the thought of it scared me. Janice told me it was like...like a banana in a keyhole. I know, weird saying, but some how it makes sense.

"Done?," I asked as I stared at his crotch and cringe at the thought of losing my virginity.

"Yup," he smiled as he pulled back the covers and jump on the bed. I laughed and got under the covers.

"So, your dad calls you Didi?," he smirked.

"Shut up! They gave me that nickname when I was a baby and it stuck".

"I like it. I'm gonna start calling you that".

"No, please no!".

"Too late, I'm calling you that".

"Fine then! I'm calling you...," what was that name his parents called him. Hmmm. I remember it!," I'm calling you Bubble".

"You still remember that?!," he laughed.

"Of course I do. You use to have the cutest little bubble butt!".

"Still have and please don't call me that!".

"Too. Late". We both laughed and just stared into each others eyes. I love his eyes. We continued to stare for, who knows how long in till my eyes moved to his jaw line and saw some dry blood.

"Wait a sec". I got up and walked in to my restroom. I grabbed a hand towel and wet it a bit. That should do. I walked back into the room and sat on Andy's lap.

"Limme see your face". I tilted his head to the left slightly and wiped the blood off. I noticed he didn't have any cuts.

"Is this even your blood?".

"Nope," he smiled, placing his hands on my hips, and tilted his head to the right. I finished cleaning the rest of it and threw the towel on the ground.

"Done". I can't believe it took a near death experience for him to finally be mine again. Sounds pretty fucked up, but I'm happy. I placed my hand on his left cheek. He smiled and closed his eyes, resting his head on my hand. I ran other hand through his hair and smiled at how soft it was. I slowly leaned in and placed my lips on his. He slowly started kissing back and he ran his hand to my thigh. I ran my hands through his hair and tugged it slightly, causing him to groan lightly. He wrapped his arms my waist, pulling me closer, deepening the kiss. I ran my hands on his chest. Just as I thought, it is soft. I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him closer. With one swift movement, he picked me up with one arm and laid me down as he towered over me. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he started kissing me down my neck. I moan slightly at the feeling of his lips. He continued down and stopped right above my breast. We looked into each others eyes and reconnected our lips. I never thought kissing could be this enjoyable. He hand slowly ran down my thigh, into my shorts. He's hand is so cold. He continued in till he hand reach my ass. He squeezed it hard, causing me to groan.

"Andy. Andy, we should stop before we go any further," I said, catching my breath.

"You're right, sorry I got carried away," he said as he was also catching his breath.


"It's okay, I liked it," I smiled.

"You''re just..so beautiful. I want you so bad". Just to hear those words come out of his mouth made me happy some how.

"I want you too, but it's too soon and I'm not really ready".

"I understand and I respect that". I smiled at him and gave him one more long kiss before we laid back again. I wrapped my arm around his waist and rested my head on his chest.

"You have no idea how long it's been since I've been this happy," he said as he wrapped his arm around me shoulder.

"I think I do," I chuckled. I yawned and closed my eyes, listening to the sound of Andy's heartbeat as I drifted off to sleep.
