Personal Narrative: My First Time

"Woah." Jasper said in a surprised tone as he stumbled back a little, his hand on his head in pain. You immediately step towards him in concern and hold him steady. Murphy scoffed in the background, but you decided to ignore it as Jasper was your only concern at the

"Ow! The little mutt bit me!" he cried pulling his hand to his chest, his face scrunched up in pain while I spat his blood out of my mouth.

She wrapped her fingers around his wrist to stop him. An image flashed of her face, upper lip bloody, color returning to her skin. “I thought you were dead. I saw you get shot.”

"Austin, are you okay?" I sat up more and leaned against the headboard. I was concerned about him.

"Don't worry about it. I shouldn't have said anything. It's okay." He started calming me down. I could hear his heart pounding against his chest and felt mine beating just as fast. I couldn't do this. Now he probably thought I didn't want to be with him. I pulled away to look up at his green eyes. Being this close to him, I could see the golden brown flecks near the pupil of his eye. It was like looking at an entire galaxy.

"It's nothing. Some kid and I got in a fight a few days ago." I lied smoothly, covering the bruise for a second time. I could Justin didn't believe me. The way he looked into my eyes in anger and slight resentment said it all.

“I know who did this to you, and I won’t let him get away with this!” He shouted, clearly pissed off.

“I did something horrible...” she paused and tears began to roll from her eyes as she continued. “....a few days ago when I told you I couldn’t hang out I was at Aaron’s house....” before she could continue I said, “Did you guys do anything?” She began to cry even harder.

“Yeah,” I nod my head. “I wasn’t making any noise. I had just got up to use the bathroom.” I have never told anyone about the nightmares except Mercy. Justin knew very little about my childhood or my family which was intentional on my part. “I heard him knock on the door and say my name. I heard him go down the back stairs and get into his truck and leave. That was it. Just silly like I told you.” I tighten my hands into fists under me.

“It’s okay, it’s like I said, I like making you feel better. And that’s how it is when you love someone.” Joe whispered in Justin’s ear. He had no idea why in particular he felt the need to whisper, but it felt like an extra little intimacy and he was glad of it.

He let go of her hand, “ My apology, I wasn’t mean any harm, it’s just that I couldn't wait any longer, sorry if I scared you, my love.” He landed his hand of her baby soft skin and wiped away the tears that were dripping from her sparkling eyes.

When I was in first grade, I was writing a story about going to Florida. I remember writing about how frightened I was to go on a water slide. I added details about how I liked the slow and twisty slide, but I was scared to go on the fast one. At the end of my water slide story, I ended up revealing that when I was finally brave enough to take the fast slide, I ended up loving it, and went down what felt like a million times. I wanted to write about this, but I wasn’t quite sure about how to spell it correctly, so I wrote,“I went down lik a meleon times!”

“What do you mean it’s not me, it’s you?” I cried, as I held the phone. “Trevor, I don’t understand how you could do something like this over the phone. We’ve been together since the second week of high school for goodness sake. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?”

"You can 't keep ignoring me." He says in almost a whisper. I don 't say anything or look at him. I still haven 't told Justin what happened with him. He always asks why I never hang around him anymore but I just shrug and tell him we drifted apart. If I told him what happened he would kill Luke.

“I don't even know it just happened. He was bleeding out and I couldn’t just leave him there… you know that I can't do that” I say. As he is still unconscious I take some of his blood for tests just in case.
