"Hey piper " a curly-haired 13-year-old girl smiled. "hey there Lil sis. where's toby?" piper asked. "buying me coffee," she said mischievously. "Aella no coffee at 7:00 in the morning. What are you on kid" piper laughs but something about it seems distant almost sad? ". . . kpop?" aella says.
"hahaha makes sense".
"I'm Back, "toby says out of breath. "ok! BYE PIPES!"Aella yells
"piper!" a tall girl attacks her with a bear hug. "hey Nicky "piper hugs back.
Nicky notices piper's large sweater. Nicky knew that pipers parents were abusive of her and that they neglected her and her sister which is why they slept over so often. Nicky also knew that piper had a lot of pressure already with having to take care of both of them, their feelings, her job, payment for a house, and custody over her sister .on top of that she has to get good grades.
Nicky tells her to pull up her sleeves. "No "piper refuses. Nicky grabs her arm as piper winces and pulls back the sleeve to reveal red marks along her skin. "pipes this isn't healthy" Nicky sighs. "I'm sorry ok! sorry that I don't want to be here anymore" Piper sobs.
Nicky pulls piper into a deep hug.
piper started to listen to music to drown out the sounds of the people around her constantly whispering. She had enough she was tired of everything. she sobs quietly.
