But baby I was born to run
I began "So it all really started last year, I was the girl who was known not to love anyone and it's true. Every time I got in a relationship it always ended because I could not say I love you. 3 simple words. That's when I met Josh. He was the boy of every girl's dream but I wasn't phased cause I knew it would never work. I guess he liked that about me and we started talking, face timing and sneaking out everyday. I became distant from my friends and many girls' were envious of me for taking the boy. He asked me to be his girlfriend and I warned him about me not being able to love and he didn't care. So we got together and it was going really well yet I kept losing friends and hiding secrets from my parents but i didn't care. We had so much fun together and that's why i miss him sometimes. I genuinely thought I was in love. Until one night we were fighting because I was told he was kissing another girl and he grabbed me and tossed me like an object and said these horrible things to me. I tried to break it off with him but he wouldn't listen. The next day he sang a song in apology and got me a necklace. I forgave him and it went back to usual again. I had no one to go to for help. My friends were gone and my parents didn't know. Couple of weeks later another fight broke out but this time it was about me not loving him. Was it true? I still do not know. He started thrashing his own house and I kept telling him I told him I couldn't love before we began the relationship. He threw a vase right at me and it landed on my leg. I tried to walk out then and there but he rushed to the door and didn't let me go. He made me promise I wouldn't break up with him so I did if it meant be let out of his house. I ran out and never returned back since and I made a promise to myself no more boys until I'm ready. Also the good times outweighed the bad so yes i'm still thinking about him. So That's why I'm good at running away," I ranted. Wow cannot believe I told him my whole life story. He looked at me with disbelief of what he had just heard.
"I am so sorry, you did not deserve that at all," he starts but I'm not eating him finish that.
"I did. I ran away without saying bye. I couldn't love him. That's my fault isn't it? He had every right to be mad," I confided. A whimper leaves my mouth. Johnny pulls me into a hug and I had to change the subject.
"So now it's your turn, why is everyone scared of you?" i interrogated.
"Okay um everyone has seen me fighting like major drug dealers or criminals so they see me as this scary person. The real reason i get into those fights were because well my dad's in prison for being part of the drug community and these men attack me because well my dad owes them some money. Me and my mom aren't giving a penny to them so instead i fight them off. It's quite fun when i win but last year they came to school and started a problem. Once again i fought them off but the principle saw and suspended me which would affect my grades, hence getting into the college is going to be hard, so that's why i'm seen as scary," he shrugged it off as f he didn't tell me some hard-hitting stuff about him.
"do you still talk to your dad?" i ask in a soft voice trying not to affect him.
"No he's trash. I hate him. He's caused so much trouble for my mom yet she still loves him. I haven't spoken to him for 2 years," he states emotionlessly.
"You should talk to him. He's still your dad and it would probably make your mom happy don't you think? . Do you not remember the good memories with him?" i question with curiosity.
"Get. out," he was fuming.
"What i-," i was interrupted by him.
"I SAID GET OUT!" his voice thundering while I ran out. I reached the living room and his mom stopped me.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asks sweetly
"i don't think your son wants me here anymore so i have to go," I quickly say.
"Did you mention his dad?" she asks with an awkward expression on her face.
"yeah i didn't know. i just told him to talk to him," i say trying to not seem like i'm evil.
"wait you know that his dad's in-" i nod at her question before she finishes.
"I can't believe he told someone. wow. I'll get you a ride home honey," she offers and well I didn't decline cause it was freezing outside. I thank her and leave. She seemed surprised that i knew about Johnny's dad. Weird.
