"Next month, we want to be married. We don't want to wait." Vicki said as we both sat in my apartment, sipping on glasses of red wine.

"That soon?"

"Well, we wait to start a family soon." She said, sipping her glass of wine, my stomach felt like it was in a knot. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything." I brushed it off. After Jax had left, I found out I was pregnant. I tired to tell him, but I never got ahold of him in time before I had my miscarriage.

Vicki, found me bleeding on the floor. The doctors think that I might of been lightheaded and landed on my stomach. I wasn't even that far along. Vicki knew that I was pregnant, but Brandon ended finding out at the hospital. The subject of babies or pregnancy hurts, but I'm happy for them.

"It's fine." I said, looking down into my wine glass. "Jax messaged me last night." Vicki's eyes widen. "He wants to meet me and talk, but I don't want to go back down that path again."

"I don't blame you, but maybe he has an explanation for not answering you."

"It won't change anything. I'm over him."

"But, deep down, you want to know why he stopped talking and calling you." She explained. "Maybe his reason is good enough for you to forgive." I grabbed the wine bottle and poured the rest of the wine in my glass, emptying the bottle.

"That's the thing, he told me that he wasn't going to leave my side, after my accident, but almost 2 months after, he has to leave suddenly." I paused. "I'm sorry, but I'm not letting him get to me anymore." I started to chug the wine as Vicki just stared at me.

"I was just saying." She finished her glass and stood up, holding her keys in hand. "I've got to go. I'll talk to you later?" I nodded as she left my apartment.

I watched her pull out of my driveway before I made a phone call. I dialed the number and hear his voice.

"Want me over?" Flynn's voice said. I walked over to my balcony and saw him walking towards my house. He only lived a few houses down. I met him at the club and we decide to be friends with benefits. The only difference is that we are aloud to hook up with other people.

"Yeah, I need some company to finish off this bottle of Tequila." I said sweetly. As he got further, I could see him grin. He saw me hold up the bottle I was talking about.

"Well, we could do that or have some pre-game fun." As made his way inside. I could hear his footsteps becoming louder and louder, before they stopped and a knock was on my door.

I opened the door and saw him, he was looking really hot tonight. Rocking a old style of hair of his, short black hair and red tips. Dark red button up shirt and dark jeans. I bit my tongue as we both hung up our phones. I jumped onto him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"I guess that is a yes for the pre-game fun." He smirked.

"Shut up and kiss me." I said as our lips clashed together, shutting the door behind us and heading to my bedroom.

"I so needed that." I said, heavily breathing night to Flynn. I looked over as he was trying to recover too. "Thank god, I've got you."

"Well, you can always have me." He winked as I rolled my eyes. "I know, I know. Just bed buddies." I got up and started to get dressed. "Come on, we can't cuddle?"

"No, I want to keep drinking and I needed someone to talk to." I grabbed his dark red button up shirt and threw it over myself.

"What about my shirt?"

"I like it, I might actually steal it from you." I grinned as he got his boxers on. "You know where your other shirts are." I said before walking out of the bedroom to go pour us a shot or two. Flynn sat down at the table, next to me.

"You know, you stealing my shirts makes me feel a boyfriend who has a girlfriend who steals shirts because they like sleeping in them."

"Guys shirts are so much more comfortable." I took a shot. "And you know that I don't do that whole 'dating thing' anymore."

He took his shot as I poured another two for us.

"Right, because of Jax, right?"

"You want to get laid again tonight?" I asked as he smirked. "I suggest you not bring up that asshole, ever again. I shouldn't never told you about him." I got up and walked into my living room and grabbed a pre-rolled joint.

"Fine, but is that why you have been acting all weird lately?" Flynn asked as I put the joint in my month and sat down. Lighting the joint and taking a hit.

"He messaged me." I bluntly said, handing Flynn the joint. "He wants to see me and explain why he did what he did. I don't want anything to do with that jackass."

Flynn and I sat silent, as I took another shot. "Plus, my brother is getting married and I'm the maid of honor." I added. "So, I'll see him there."

Flynn took another hit and came closer to me, blowing his hit into my mouth. Once I released the leftover smoke, he pulled me in for a gentle kiss. "Did that help you forget?" I smiled and nodded. "That's awesome about your brother. Do I get to be your plus one?"

I laughed. "Maybe, if your good."

"Why don't you give this relationship another go?" Flynn asked. "No more friends with benefits, just you and me."

"I slept with another guy the other night and you know that I did, but still want to be in a relationship with me?" I paused before getting up and taking the joint from him. "I'm broken. I'm a slut. And I'm not good for you. I don't even know what it's like to be on a real date with someone who isn't afraid to show me to the world. You feel bad for me, that's why to still come around."

"Of course not, and you aren't a slut. You just want everyone to think that you are a slut." He sighed. "Stop comparing what you had with Jax is going to happen to every guy you meet. Give me a chance because I haven't stopped talking about you to my friends and my parents. They all want to meet this girl who makes my world."

I turned away from him. "Maddie, I love you. You have no idea how much I love you. Let me show you what it's like to be with a real man who wants to do whatever I can to make you happy. Please, let me show you." He said. He hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek. "I don't just want you for sex, anymore. I want all of you and I want it to be mine."

I turned and faced him. "If I give you a chance, you promise not to break my heart?"

"I promise." He moved some of my hair behind my ear. "So, will you be my girlfriend?" I smiled, but paused and sighed. Before I could say anything, someone knocked on the door. "I'll get that." Flynn said as he opened the door.

Guess who was standing at my door?

Jackson Michaelson.
