Overcoming It All

deeply

I spent the next week trying to find a way to spend every second with Drake. I had to do my counseling alone but i hung out with him during breakfast, lunch, and dinner and in my spare time. I had about three counseling sessions a day and i tried to be as cooperative as i could so i could be done faster, I hated counseling ever since i was little. The bright side was Drake was always waiting for me. Well, most of the time. Sometimes he had his own counseling sessions, and when that happened i would have to find ways to entertain myself. Normally i just sat in one of the beanbag chairs on the floor and read one of the old murder mysteries they kept on the shelf.

One of the days Drake had to leave, i settled into a beanbag chair with one of the books i was reading and one of the girls that had only been here for a couple days walked up to me. She settled down in a beanbag chair next to me and smiled awkwardly

"uh hey, I'm kind of new here" I put my bookmark in my book and smiled at her

"yeah, I know i've only been level two for about a week myself."

"Oh. I hate that ugly room it feels nice to see other people."

"Yeah i was in my room for like three weeks"

"Wow your certainly  brave girl"  Her laugh sounded like a bell and her spirit made me laugh too.

"Yes indeed" I laughed again "What's your name anyway?" I looked her over she had black hair and pretty brown eyes that hid a lot of pain. She was pretty compared to my plain Jane blond hair and grey eyes. She twirled her hair in her fingers.

"J.C. Kelly" she shook my hand. "what about you"

"J.C. wow that's pretty, i'm Skylar Alexander." Drake walked into the room and smiled as he walked over. He sat on my lap and acted only the way Drake could. he crossed his arms over his chest

"Wat's up I'm Drake" he laughed and settled into the other beanbag on my left.

"Oh yeah this is Drake, Drake this is J.C." they shook hands and Drake flipped his hair out of his beautiful blue eyes and stared into her brown ones. I felt overwhelmed with jealousy even though i knew he was just playing with her. Drake pulled back and looked at me.

"You know what this means Sky?"  I folded my hands under my chin and widened my eyes like a little kid and tried my best to keep a straight face.

"What?" He laughed at my facial expression he pulled J.C. and I into a huddle.

"We must create a secret club and be ninjas" J.C. looked at me like she wasn't sure if he was serious.

"Of course!" I said. "let us be ninjas!" the was the most fun I've had in a while. Back at home I just kept to myself, i didn't have any real friends to goof around with like Drake and J.C. I finally had a life outside of my own fucked up mind. I watched J.C. and Drake try to pretend like ninjas and I realized I really love that guy. Deeply.
