Beautiful Mask

Creepy Stares Beautiful Scares

I wake up to bright sun filling the room. My hand automatically reaches over for my phone on the nightstand. It's 9:24 I have to time to go to Starbucks. I get out of bed and do all the normal hygienic things and writes a note to my so called loving parents that I'll be leaving. I don't give them the location of where I'm going it could be to risky. I put the sticky note on the fridge and grab my long board, walking out the door. I start cruising down some sidewalks, past some neighborhoods and too StarBucks. I stop when I reach where I'm going, the smell of coffee makes me smile. I walk inside seeing Jenny handing a customer iced coffee. I walk over to the counter "Hey Carter how are you?" She gives me a bright smile "do you really want to know?" She frowns slightly and pulls me in a bear hug. I loved Jenny she was the closest thing to a friend I had. She may be like 23 but I didn't care. Me feeling uncomfortable gives her a awkward hug back. How did we meet your probably asking? Well I came here all the time but never bought anything. Her being nosy as hell had to ask me why i came her so much. I didn't really like her when we first met, she seemed really dumb and preppy blonde but I've grown to love her. She rambles on and on about a her boyfriend. I stop paying attention somewhere around him calling her baby cheeks. A guy sitting in the corner wearing a Crown the Empire shirt caught my attention. He had long brown hair that stopped right before his eyes. He was tall but not to tall, he had muscle but not too much muscle to where he looked like a jock. His eyes where a beautiful green you could get lost in. I stared at the beautiful creature for about a minute, he looked up at me. Oh shit, he's looking at me I try to make it look like I'm talking to Jenny. She looks at me then the guy then me again. She gives me a smirk and nudges me with her elbow then whispers "I saw you staring at that guy he comes around here a lot, I could set you up with him if you'd like?" I shake my head quickly "I'm good, love is fake anyway" I say bluntly she sighs and rolls her eyes then smirks when she looks at the list "Ian your coffee is ready!" She yells and I see the guy stand up and start walking towards us to get his coffee. Jenny hands it to him and Ian takes it I quickly put in my headphones to avoid talking. He sits back down and stares at me. I awkwardly look at him and his eyes travel down my body and I give him the "what the hell!? Stop looking at my body" look and he looks away obviously embarrassed then stands up and walks over to me. I have a mini panic attack inside my head and he stands there just smiling at me. I pull out one headphone and look at him raising one eyebrow "do you need something?" I ask him "nope, what are you listening to?" "Na na na by My Chemical Romance" he smiles brightly "I love that song" I nod "listen I have to go" I start to walk off but he catches up to me "are you walking home?" I nod and start to pick up the pace, he does the same "can I walk you home?" I quickly shake my head and run off down the sidewalk. I stop to catch my breath and I get a text from Jenny
Jenny: what the hell was that!? You had him he was clearly interested in you!
Me: I'd rather not...
She didn't respond after that.
I started walking home and when I arrived 6 cars were parked at my house. My dad and his friends are home probably getting drunk. I pulled out my key and opened the door walking into the living room. I started walking up the stairs hoping my dad wouldn't hear me just as I was about to reach the last step my dad called me "Carter!" His words slurred but boomed through the house "get your ass down here!" I closed my eyes tight and walked back downstairs and into the kitchen. His eyes burn holes into me. He slaps my hard till I fall to the ground. Tears start to flood my eyes "why the fuck you leave, you think you can just leave like that!" He kicks me in the stomach and the pain rushes through my body and I scream "I'm s-sorry" I try to stand and he pushes me back down again and kicks me hard in the chest. Suddenly my breathing stops everything around me is blurred all I can hear is the faint chants of my dads friends. My mind keeps telling me to breath to keep living but I don't know I can it's getting harder and harder to breath. Everything goes black.
