Just like she said, Demi got here 10 minutes after the call ended. I quickly got up, approaching her car and getting in.
"are you okay!?"

"Yeah..I'm alright, just wanna go home"

Demi formed a frown.

"Stella, you can't just go home, you're just going to bombard your mind with unnecessary thoughts and plus, it's a Friday night!"

I took what she said into consideration. I already got myself into a situation that I didn't really want to be in with this guy, and I was already alone for a long while. Maybe staying home by myself wouldn't be such a good idea.

"Eh, I suppose you're right. I'm staying over at your place this weekend, no complaints."

Demi laughed.

"Exactly what I thought you'd say and hey, guess what?"

"what?"

I managed to say back a little way too quickly.

"I ordered pizza before I left to come get you"

"ugh, you're the best"
I say in response. I am completely grateful for having a friend that pulled her way out just to come get me when she didn't have to. That shows how much she cares.

We both finished our last slice and went upstairs to her room. Demi started showing me the new makeup she got from Mac and compared it to all the other ones. I personally think that Demi looks prettier without makeup but don't get me wrong she is pretty with it too. She has medium length almond colored hair and big brown eyes. We have known each other since the first grade and since then till now, we have been the bestest friends.

Demi continued on comparing and contrasting her makeup products until she caught me looking at myself in the mirror at my arm. She came and gave me a tight hug.
"It's okay"
she said.

"No it's not..I need to stop letting shit like this happen. I shouldn't give in so easily when it comes to Erik..he's a douchebag and I know that, but I just don't know how to let him go."

Demi and I were now sitting on the floor, facing each other.

"Ugh, I just don't get why it is like that though. I mean, I know I'm not an expert on relationships but I sure do as hell know that one shouldn't harm the other. And trust me you don't deserve that. He doesn't deserve you. You are way too good for him and you know that."

Demi was right. Erik has bad anger issues and is very violent but that is how he is now. I met him towards the end of sophomore year and he was never like that. He used to be so sweet, caring, and loving. He started changing after the death of his mother last year and that is something I can't really throw all my hate and blame towards. It isn't his fault.

However though, he does have some things I like. I admire his brown wavy hair, the little freckles he has on his cheeks, and the way that he can instantly make me laugh without really trying. He isn't exactly the most sportiest guy out there though. He gets forced to work out on weekends by his dad.

Lots of people at school think he's kind of a loser and I guess I feel pretty bad but that's just what makes me hold on to him. He's different. He is the head leader of the school band and spends most of his days playing video games.

Now that I keep on thinking about it, I think it's time that I really do find someone that's actually worth it and doesn't hurt me. I mean, he has no intentions of bringing himself up and doing things for the better of himself. He still doesn't even know what he wants to be and we are all seniors.

"Demi, you're completely right and if I could, I would dump him but there's one thing that always stops me."

"And what's that?"
She asks.
