Gia's Beginning

GIA POV

Continued...

"Gia why are you like this? I'm doing you a damn favor and here you go spitting in my face!" Bria said

Not for nothing I'm not the one to spread my legs for anyone.

"What do you want me to say?" I asked.

"Maybe be a better friend! I've always helped you with everything. Clothes, hair and your damn vision. Even your education I'm helping you with! And when I ask for a simple favor you turn me down!" She said.

Feeling a little uncomfortable at the movement.

"You know what... I'm leaving get back to that nasty motel you stay at the best way you can. Bitch" she got in her car with the two brothers and sped off.

Taking a seat in the wooden bannister I geared up a little. Bria was known was throwing tantrums when you didn't do what she wanted. Taking off this stupid mask and throwing it away.

"You okay?" A voice asked.

I nodded wiping my eyes quickly.

"Doesn't seem like it" the voice said.

I felt someone join me on the wooden bannister and I saw it was him.

"If it makes it any better whatever Halle Ed wasn't your fault" he said.

"I'm Gia" I said.

He smiled "Delano, finally no unnecessary interruptions".

Silence.

"Where's your friend?" He asked.

"She left me here... something I did that I have no idea about" I said.

"Oh" he said.

Silence again.

"Are you okay getting back to the hotel?" He asked.

I shrugged "I'll figure it out".

Okay He was about to walking in and out lol lol I'm I'm not doing doing laundry until until away but stopped "I'll hate myself if I left you here. I'll give you a ride back".

"You don't have to" I said.

"I went to" he smiled.

In the car I was silent.

He kept glancing at me.

"Problem?" I asked.

He shook his head "just wondering how are you out here alone surviving being so young?".

I shrugged "good question that I don't have a answer for".

"My little sister is probably the same age as you and I could never imagine that she is surviving on her own. Have to give you props for that" he said.

"Thank you..." I said.

Pulling up to the hotel... I heard someone yelled my name.

"Thanks for the ride" I smiled.

"No problem" he smiled.

Angie met me at the door "Gia I know you didn't take what I said literally! But he's cute".

"Oh no! I've recently met him and he gave me a ride" I said.

"Good! Now let's go party! In my room" she pulled me along with her. Once she opened the door there was about twenty people here just dancing and chilling. She handed me a plate and told me "have fun".

That's what I did.

No Bria.

No headaches.

No pressure.

Finally I let loose and enjoyed myself. At the corner of my eye I saw Angie staring at me smiling this is what she wanted.

Later on after the party died down... We both were laying in the bed "I'm happy you decided to have fun".

I smiled "me too. Thanks!".

"Why were you so upset when you came back with that guy?" She asked.

"Just a friend I was with she got mad at me because I didn't want to do what she wanted and then she left me stranded as punishment" I said.

She sat up "Gia let me give you some advice since I've been alive longer than you and I've seen some things. People are mean assholes. Also friends are overrated. Your friend is a selfish person who will never change. It'll just get worse as she ages. You don't someone like that in your life. You're a cool person stay that way".

My emotions were about to show itself "thanks".

The next morning I was at the small cafe sipping on some coffee. Having the newspaper spread open on the table and I went to see who was selling a car. Yes, a car! I have my license but no car. That doesn't make any sense.

Minding my business and circling some potentials.

"Gia?" I heard.

Looking up "oh hey... Delano right?".

He nodded "yeah, what brings you here so early in the morning?".

Holding up my coffee.

He laughs "oh yeah... you can tell I haven't had mine yet".

I smiled "I can clearly see that".

He glanced to see what I was doing "a newspaper and you're looking at the selling part?".

"Yeah I'm looking for a car" I said.

He quickly took the paper and threw it out "are you crazy to be looking in the paper. You'll end up meeting some pervert or weirdo!".

"Well great now what?" I asked.

"I have a cousin who sells used cars. I can call him and ask him what he's got. What's your budget?" He said.

"Cheap and it drives without me having to do any fixtures... hence why I said cheap and it better not break down within a months time" I said.

He nodded "noted... I'll swing by later and let you know what he said".

"Why are you being so nice to me? Are you a pedophile?" I asked.

He laughed "hell no! You're the same age as my sister so as a protective person I don't want you getting harmed especially since you are alone".

Squinting my eyes at him.

He put his hands up
