I Can Only Hope

Chapter 3

 I skate with the boy around a few times, him  pulling me faster. "Jess who is this?" Says Chris slowing down next to us.

 I don't answer because I honesty don't know. "Damion." He replies looking at him in a not so friendly way.

  "Well ok." Says Chris and zips by us.

    I let go of him and say "I have to go to the bathroom."

I skate fast looking behind me to see if he is looking. I sit in the bathroom stall with the toilet sit down just thinking of how I messed up with my life. At 12:00 pm skating is over and me and Chris walk home, him on his phone the whole time me shivering in my beat up jacket I've had for 2 years now. 

  "Bye Chris." I say trying to open the door to my house.

  "Bye Jess." He says walking home.

    I stand therefor about 2 minutes until I remember I can try to climb is through my half broken window. I had taped it with duct tape to try to not let the cold air in but it didn't work to well.  I start tearing the tape off one by one until its all gone. I put my hand in and open my window. I crawl in and close it. 

 "Mom, Dad?" I say quietly. The smell of alcohol surrounds my room. My parents were drinking so I didn't want to do anything. I lie in my cold bed with cold air blowing on me. I can't put it back together because I don't know where the rest of my duct tape went. I cover myself up and fall asleep.

  '"Shut up I didn't buy the alcohol he bought it!" I hear outside my room. 

I look outside and see blue and red lights and see that the sky is light now.

 "It aian't me! She bought it she always does!"

  My dad was telling the truth my mom was the one who got him into drinking.

 I get up and crack my door open and see broken glass on the floor. The police officer glares and me and walks towards the door and opens it.

  "Who are you?" He says looking at me.

  "I-i'm Jess." I say pulling my long brown hair out of my face and behind my ear.

      "Are they your parents?" He asks me pointing a finger to them.

 "Yes sir." I say quietly.

  "Well I suggest you go right now. Do you have a family member who lives around here?" He asks me looking around my room.

 "My friend lives across the street." I tell the tall man.

 "Go." He says walking me outside and watching me go inside their house.

   "What are you here fo-" He starts but I interupt him

 "Just let me in I will explain later."
