The 4 Broken Girls // Magcon

Chapter 3

*Mia's P.O.V*

After being grumpy that I had to go to school, drive Lilly to school, and wake up early I finished getting ready and Lilly ready. After everyone had there interactions downstairs I got all the girls in the car and dropped Skylar and JoJo off.

"Do you think Gingie will get the job?" Lilly asked. I nodded keeping my eyes on the road.

"Ginger may of had a rough patch but she is more than likely to get this job" I said and Lilly smiled. I dropped her off then went to school myself. Same boring thing welcome to class this is where you will sit the whole year and let me give you home work on something you barely learned. I walked out to get the car for the girls so I could drop them off at their jobs. I finally dropped JoJo off at lifeguard duty and Sky and gymnastics. I drove to Starbucks as my shift would start soon. I got there and pulled my apron on and stood behind the counter it seemed like forever since someone came up to the counter an hour had already passed and my break was soon. A boy who looked a little bit like Justin Bieber but better walked up. I saw him checking me out and a wave of nervousness washed over my whole body.

"Hey sweet cheeks you mind taking my order?" He asked and I nodded blushing. He ordered and I grabbed the cup.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Matt and while your at it how about you write your number down" he said and I blushed more. I wrote his name and my number and I decided to be flirty myself so I wrote 'text me! Mia' I finished with his drink and handed it back to him and he smiled as I actually gave him my number. I looked at the time and saw it was finally my break. I ordered a drink and went to sit down at a table by myself when something stopped me.

"Hey gorgeous come over here" the boy from earlier said. I nodded and took a seat at his table.

"So Mia huh? I like that name beautiful name for a beautiful girl" he said and I nodded trying not to make a complete fool of myself in front of this extremely attractive boy.

"I'm Matt as you know" he said slightly chuckling. I smiled at him how he could call me all these names.

"So first order of business in calling you sweet cheeks from now on because that's the first thing I ever called you" he said smiling. I smiled at him.

"Well I guess I'm sticking with Matt then" I joked and he laughed.

"You can call me whatever you want sweet cheeks" he said winking and I rolled my eyes laughing.

"So why are you working here I mean I'm old enough to have a job but I don't want it one" he said.

"Um my Dad is in jail and my mom died five years ago and me and my sisters were living with my aunt until she died last year so my oldest sister has custody over all of us" I explained.

"I'm so sorry to hear that" he said. I shrugged.

"It's okay it's what it is" I replied. Soon his smile reappeared and then a look of confusion.

"Why are you wearing a long sleeve shirt it is literally 100 and some degrees out" he said. I knew the reason why I didn't want people to see my cuts. I clenched my hands over the end of the sleeves and decided to lie.

"I'm cold" I said. He gave me a seriously look because you would have to be stupid to say that in this weather. He grabbed my sleeves and I fought with him but he soon won. The tears fell down my face I just met this guy and now I'm gonna loose him when he sees my imperfection. I could barely see through my glossy eyes but once he pulled my sleeves up he saw the scars and new cuts from last night and his eyes went wide. I expected him to leave but instead he just looked at me.

"Every scar has a meaning and each scar is meant to show a not so greatly healed wound. When I was younger my mom would kiss my wounds to make them feel better and heal easier you just got your kisses a little bit later" he said before kissing each cut and scar down my wrists. I smiled as more tears fell from my eyes. He moved over in his seat to be next to me and he pulled me into a hug.

"I'm not letting you hurt yourself anymore your texting me from the minute you get home to the minute you fall asleep texting me and we can FaceTime too" he said. I smiled and nodded and he put his number in my phone. He handed me his to put mine in even though I already have him mine and I put it in as 'Sweet Cheeks🍍💜'. He smiled at me and I looked at the time. I wiped my eyes again and stood up.

"I have to get back to work" I mumbled. He nodded and I went to walk away but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. He hugged me and made me look him in the eyes.

"Don't you hurt yourself your to pretty to be broken" he said and left me just like that. I smiled and went back to work. Once I finished I went to go pick up Sky and head home to do homework. Sky came in with a giant smile. I guess we both had good days. We went home and started homework. I texted Matt the whole time. He made me feel I meant the world to him. Even though I just met him I'm already falling for him even though he probably doesn't feel the same way. I didn't really pay attention to most of the conversation going on except when Gingie said she met a guy. I didn't even realize she and the girls came home. After that we really just sat on the couch. The girls watched tv while I still texted Matt. I finally broke out of my trance when I saw Ginger. She was smiling and laughing and actually sober. This is what I have always wanted her to be happy and us to be whole again.
