I threw on a plaid skirt with a black shirt, and did my hair and makeup.
"Jules what time is it?"
"12:30"
"Okay I gotta go"
I said. Jules climbed out the window.
I ran downstairs. My father was standing there staring at me. "Where the fuck have you been!" Is all he said before smacking me.
"STOP! STOP! I need to go dad!" I yelled trying to get him to stop.
That's when the doorbell rang. He let me out of his grasp. I ran to the mirror checking my hair, it was frizzy but I had no time to fix it.
I opened the door to see a fidgety nervous Vinnie.
"Hey" "hi" is all he said back.
A/N: is it just me or is hey friendlier than hi
We walked down my driveway my shoulders brushing up against his side.
He opened the door for me, still out of it.
"Thanks".
Vinnie started driving which is the hottest thing ever.
"Hey not to intrude but where you screaming stop? Is everything all right"
"Uhm. It was nothing"
"Alex you know you can trust me right"
"I know it's just- I don't wanna bring you into something you don't wanna be a part of"
He pulled over into a Walmart parking lot.
He turned to face me and touched my hands.
"Alex I want to know everything about you no matter what it is. We have been friends for 2 years you can trust me"
"M- my father is kinda a dick" I couldn't look at him in the eye. He stayed silent.
"He comes and goes. He beats me. Alot. And all he ever does is beg for money".
Tears began to well up in my eyes as I talked about my father.
"Me and him were never really close growing up. My parents are divorced so I stayed with my mom, but then she died when I was 17 so-" I choked on a sob trying to come out of my throat.
"So I moved in with him. And he just kept beating and beating me so-"
Tears fell down my cheeks.
"I ran away. When I was 17. And came here".
Vinnie didn't say anything. He just pulled my body closer to him, wrapping his arms around me. He hugged me so tight. His big hands latched onto my back.
He pulled back and stared at me before lightly kissing my cheek.
I smiled, turning my face down trying not to let him see me blush.
"I don't know how anyone could hurt you. I mean your you. Your perfect" he whispered in my ear as he hugged me again.
I pulled away. I rubbed his snot covered shoulder.
"Aw I'm sorry vin did I get your shirt wet"
"It's a memory"
I smiled lightly.
"Your really pretty when you cry"
"Your always really pretty" I said maki g him smile.
Vinnie
___________________________ butterfly's we're going crazy in my stomach when she said that. I never really got complaints so it meant a lot.
I wanted to kiss her. It just felt right. But I didn't want to make her feel like that was the only reason I invited her.
