A Broken Beauty

Chapter four

CHAPTER FOUR!!(:

As soon as I got home I asked if I could take a shower, and after we got past all of the awkward and dirty comments about me asking to take a shower with them, I got the pleasure of riding up to the store to get bathroom necessities. But apparently this is the perfect time for James to work on his drivers training lessons, and Miller just had to be the one to watch over him to make sure we all didn't die because of James terrible driving. So now I'm crammed in between two perverted boys in clothes that still hadn't dried off from when I took my afternoon dip. Life's great. Note the sarcasm.

When we arrived at our destination I realized it was a 24 hour Walmart. I didn't want to seem like a whiney prick so I just kept my mouth shut.

"So dagger girl," James started to say but stopped when He saw i was looking at him in the most pissed off face I could muster.

"What?.." He said sarcastically with a smirk on his face.

"Anyways, I was just wondering...since we are here picking you up your girly bathroom crap. Are you tampons or pads?" He said with a knowing smile on his face. Miller cracked up laughing but then tried to cover it up with a cough, knowing that I will not be afraid to go Chris Brown on his ass. I had definatly grown closest to Miller in the whole whopping two days I've known the them. He is really caring and sweet, but can also be perverted in the funniest way.

"Oh me? I use tampons! What about you James? You seem more like a pads kinda gal." I said in a sweet innocent little voice. Miller didn't even try to cover up his laugh this time.

James tried to stretch himself taller so that he might look more intimidating, but it wasn't working seeming how were about the Same height.

"I will have you know that I am a man. I even have the parts to prove it!" He said with a stern look on his face.

"Oh. Well then you must be gay!" I said acting like I had no idea anyone else was in the store. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone until you come out of the closet." I said and I accidentally let a chuckle escape my lips. James just got a flustered look on his face and stomped away. I looked over at Miller who was on the floor crying he was laughing so hard. Once his fits of laughter came to an end he slowly stood up and walked over to me with the biggest grin on his face.

"That was awesome!" Miller shouted while raising his hand at me. Memories of all the times Vanessa would hit me flooded my mind and i blocked my face just like i had to do for the past four years of my life. I tried to run but Miller grabbed me by the waist and brought me into a hug while whispering something in my ear. I couldnt make it out because my sobs were too loud and my body was shaking to hard.

Eventually i stopped crying and Miller tilted my chin up so i would look him in the eyes.

"Did you think I was going to hit you?" Miller said with a less than happy look on his face. I couldn't do anything i couldn't nod or even push him away. Millers eyes got darker and anger filled them.

"Did your parents hit you? Is that why you ran away?" I just stood there numbly looking at the ground.

"God dammit! Answer me!" I guess my silence was enough for him as he grabbed some dove body soap, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, and a razor. All the while Mumbling things about trust and childhood or something.

"Lets go." was all he said to me before grabbing my wrist tightly and pulling me out the door.

"Miller." i whimpered. "your hurting me." i whispered quietly. He came to an abrupt halt before quickly turning around and looking at were his hand and my wrist were touching. He slowly released his hand with a shameful look in his eye.
