Trouble on my left, trouble on my right

I've been facing trouble almost all my life

********

I drove harry to my house yesterday, he picked up his car from my house and went back to his place. he had to considering he was at his house for twenty minutes before he came back to my house to hang out with me, we've been together since then.

I think I've been spending too much time with him lately I've already told myself I wasn't going to get attached, I can't get attached. getting attached leaves room for hurt.

I don't want to push him away like I do most people but I can't jump in with him, I don't want to either. at least that's what I keep telling myself

I hear my door open and I grab my black dagger from behind my couch pillow, the door cracks open and I see black hair. Blaze

"Hello bitch" she smiles but stops when she sees the knife in my hand

"I thought you were an intruder, you idiot" I let out the breath I was holding

"sorry forgot to text you, anyways I want to do something, you up for a new one of those?" she asks looking at my forearm

"a tattoo?" I ask her and she nods

"what would I get?" I ask her and she shrugs

"Whatever your heart desires" she smiles and she pulls out her phone

"shall I invite your lover boy?" she asks and I shake my head no right away

"something wrong with you guys?" she asks skeptical and I shake my head no again

"no just want to spend some time with you" I shrug and she smiles

"aww you little sap" she laughs and I roll my eyes

"shut up let's go" I scoff and I get up from the couch, I walk in front of her to the elevator

we get into the elevator and I press the garage, "what are you going to get?" I ask her and she grins, "I have an idea, but I want you to get it as well," she says and the elevator dings, indicating we are in the garage

"like matching tattoos?" I ask her getting in the passenger seat of her car, she nods and I tilt my head thinking. I want to get matching tattoos she is my best friend and I don't see that ending ever, she is my best friend till the day I go six feet under

"let's fucking do it" I smile and she makes a fist and pumps it up, saying yes quietly and laugh our local tattoo shop is down the street from us, our friend Dallas owns the shop he's done all of the cobra's tattoos we pull up to the curb in front of the building.

I open the door to the shop and the red lights are on, it makes it pretty hard to see and I honestly don't know how he tattoos people with them on but I'm not gonna ask questions

I feel Blaze behind me and I see a girl start to walk towards us, she has a wrap on her bicep indicating she just got a tattoo, I hold open the door and she bites her lip and smiles at me, I wink at her and she giggles walking out of the shop, Blaze hits me and I look at her confused

"you have a man," she says and I try to think who she's talking about, "Harry?" I ask and she says duh and I shake my head

"oh hell no" I scoff and she rolls her eyes, I'm glad I took the day off from harry I don't need people thinking things that aren't true
