Gia's Beginning

6.

I see you silent readers!!!

GIA POV

(Three years later)....

Hearing the waves crash on the shore. It always relaxes me. Picking up the random sea shells that were surrounding me and just checking them out. Sea shells are so pretty. So imperfect but pretty.

Getting lost in my own thoughts I didn't even hear someone clear their throat "hey!".

I looked up and it was the same guy from the last time "oh I forgot. I'll leave". Getting up and dusting off my towel. He stopped me "you don't have to leave. I sense this somewhat helps you with whatever you're going through".

Feeling a little awkward that he can see right through me. All I did was smile.

We stood there in silence for a short time "so what's your name? I'm..." that's when a young woman came over and hugged him playfully "and I was looking for you!".

He smiled "oh I came out here to make sure she was okay".

The woman glanced at me and quickly looked at him "well she seems fine to me. Let's go I'm getting hungry". She grabbed his hand into hers pulling him. He smiled at me again "nice meeting you... again".

I nodded.

I was done with the beatings. My mother now tries to overpower me since I've grown in the past three years. I'm fifteen now. I warned her if she even tries I'm fighting back.

Lately after my warning she hasn't laid one finger on me. I will lay her out if she touches me.

When I returned home bria was waiting there with a full face of attitude.

What now?...

"Gia did you really think I wouldn't find out?!" She ranted.

"About what?" I asked. Cause I had no idea what she was talking about.

"The reason why my ex boyfriend broke up with me is because he says you kissed him when he gave you a ride home the other night" she said.

"Umm no... I didn't kiss anyone. He kissed me and I slapped him" I said.

She shook her head "I'm so tired of you stealing the guys I like or end up being my boyfriend!".

"It's not my fault!" I said.

Out of nowhere she take a swing at me hitting my nose. That's when I felt the warm liquid on my lip. Covering my nose so the blood won't get everywhere. She jumped back "see what you make me do! Stupid bitch! If you would just listen this would have happened".

Running inside for a napkin to cover my nose. It was gushing blood at this point. I knew I needed medical attention. "We can't go to the ER? They'll ask you what happened!" Bria said.

"I'm going then" I said.

"Gia? Wait? If they asked what happened just say you walked into a door. You weren't paying attention to where you were walking" she said.

Once at the ER the doctor came to examine my nose. He sighed "and how did this happen?".

Bria jumped in so fast "she's clumsy and she doesn't watch where she's going half the time".

The doctor smiled "it happens to a lot of people".

I just eyed Bria who was giving me a glare.

"You'll be fine. Just keep this ice on your nose and the bleeding will stop. But be careful next time" the doctor said. He prescribed me pain meds just in case tomorrow they pain is a-lot worse.

When Bria dropped me off she sat there not sure what to say... meanwhile I'm there with a gauze in my nostrils.

"Gia look I got mad. You know how it is when I got upset! I didn't mean it. I just reacted" she said.

It's the same speech as the last time.

"Still friends? Right?" She asked.

I nodded "sure".

She smiled "again I'm sorry. How about I get my dad to pay for your laser eye surgery to correct the vision so you don't have to wear these funky glasses anymore?".

"You would do that?" I asked.

She shrugged "what are friends for?".
