Justin was sitting in a booth, at the Liberty Diner, with Brian, Michael, Ben, Ted, and Emmett, when his younger sister walked over to them.
"Hey, Justin. Can I talk to you?" she asked quietly.
They could all tell that she had been crying, her eyes were red-rimmed. Justin nodded. "Sure." He lead her to an empty table, and they both sat down. After a few minutes of silence, Justin figured he'd better start the conversation. "What is it, Mol? What's the matter?"
Molly sighed, her lower lip trembling. "It's Devon."
"What about him?" Justin asked. He didn't have a good feeling about what Molly had to say.
"He... he cheated on me!" With that he engulfed her in a hug and let her cry. He could see the other guys, including Debbie, looking at them with concern.
Justin was angry. He didn't like to see his baby sister hurt, by anyone. 'I'm going to break every bone in that bastard's body,' he silently growled.
After a few minutes, Molly leaned back and wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry, Justin. I got your shirt all wet."
"No problem. Do you want to talk?"
Molly sighed. I went to Devion's house earlier today. Since it's Saturday we were going to study for Monday's history test, then go to see a movie. Well, I got there about half an hour earlier than we had said. His parents weren't home, but their housekeeper Marla let me in. I went up the stairs to his room, and could hear some music playing through the closed door.
"I knocked, but he neever answered. So I went in." Molly paused to take a deep breath, and to try and control his emotions. Justin could see that she was holding back the tears that were in her eyes. "When I walked in... he was fucking that slut from school! Marin Gilispie. I couldn't believe it and stood there for a minute in shock. He noticed me and actually got out of the bed, naked with the condom still on."
Justin vowed that he'd better never see Devon again, or the boy would seriously end up hurt. Molly had gone silent, so he waited for her to continue.
"He told me that... that... it was my own fault. That I wasn't a great girlfriend since I wouldn't have sex with him. I'm a virgin, Justin. It never felt like the right time." Molly sighed. "Maybe I should've just slept with him. We'd still be together."
Justin shook his head and made sure that he was looking Molly in the eyes. "You are not the one at fault. He is. Don't have sex with anyone until you're ready. I'm proud that you stuck by what you wanted to do. That you didn't give into pressure.
"You'll find the right guy, Molly. A guy that's worthy of you. And, you'll know when the time is right to have sex."
"But, I thought that Devon loved me. How could he do this to me? It hurts so much."
"I know. And, believe me, I understand." Justin said as he thought about his first few rocky years with Brian. "But, it'll get better. And, when you find the man that loves you, you won't even remember that pipsqueak. You'll be saying, Devon? Devon who?"
Molly gave a slight smile. "Thanks. I love you, Juster." Justin gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead. "I love you, too, Mollusk," he whispered.
After she left, he walked back to the booth where the others were sitting. "What's going on?" asked Brian.
Justin sighed. "Molly caught Devon having sex with another girl in his room earlier today. She's heartbroken."
"The poor baby," cooed Emmett.
Brian thought of Molly as family. And, nobody hurt his family. "I'm going to break every bone in that bastard's body," Brian snarled. Justin gave a small chuckle at having his thoughts echoed back to him.
"I'm sure she'll be fine,' said Ben.
Justin nodded. "Yeah. But, it's just hard right now. But, she'll find someone else."
School was over for the day and Molly had just walked outside into the gray overcast day. She sighed as she saw Devon waiting for her. He was still as handsome as ever, but she realized that she felt nothing towards him except anger and disgust. She had managed to ignore him for a week, and she wasn't happy about seeing him now. "Mol, I was waiting for you."
"What do you want?"
"You. I want you back. Look, I'm sorry about last week. It'll never happen again."
Molly snorted. "You're damn right it won't. There is no us any longer. You saw to that when you jumped into bed with Marin."
"Come on. Don't be like that." Devon reached out a hand and laid it on Molly's shoulder, but she shrugged it off.
"Don't," she warned.
He didn't listen. He moved closer to her and said, "Come on. I know you still love me. I know that you still want me."
Molly raised an eyebrow anmd shook her head. "That's where you're wrong. I refuse to be with anyone that doesn't respect me enough to only want to be with me." And, before Molly could stop herself, she kneed Devon in the groin, causing him to grunt and grab himself.
Before she walked away, she said, "By the way, don't call me Mol. The name's Molly to you." With that she started walking away just as it started to pour the rain. She heard a car horn and looked up in surprise to see Brian's jeep. She ran up to the passanger side and hurridly climbed in.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
Brian shrugged. I was close by and saw that it was about to rain. Figured I'd give you a ride. Looks like I arrived in time."
"Thanks."
"I also saw what you did to that jerk. Good goin', doll."
Molly blushed at his praise as Brian started to pull away from the school. They saw Devon running to his car. With an evil smirk, Brian gunned the engine and sped past Devon, spraying water all over him. Molly and Brian looked at each other and cracked up laughing.
Molly walked into the diner, holding hands with a tall black-haired teen. She walked over to the table that held her brother and the rest of the gang. "Hey, guys."
"Hey, sis. Who's this?"
"This is Brent Wills," answered Molly with a smile. "Brent this is my brother Justin and his partner Brian. Michael and his partner Ben. Ted and Emmett."
"Nice to meet you," said Brent in a southern accent.
"Brent's a transfer from Alabama. We met in biology class. Well, we're on our way to see a movie. I just wanted to introduce you all." Molly and Brent started toward the door. Molly turned back toward the table and smiled at Justin. "You were right." She knew that he would know what she meant. Her heart had mended. She had met another guy. A guy that seemed to like her. As she walked to Brent's car, holding hands with him, she thought, 'Devon who?'
