How she survived

New Friends

                                                                                 NEW FRIENDS

It's me and my mother now. I have no one. My hero is dead and my only best friend had gone. It's funny when you always cry at night. I'm still not over my dad's death, though 6 months had passed. We're celebrating easter together, and we did celebrate my 13th birthday alone. Everything is different now. My mum is always busy. Travelling all the time with her friends and sometimes work meetings, she has no time for me. So since I don't have friends, I went somewhere in the mall and ordered a cup of cappuccino. A group of people were sitting in front of me. I was staring at them and they were staring back. After a while, they all come and sit with me. "So hey, we saw you alone and we thought why a girl like you is with nobody? I'm Jay by the way, I'm 16 years old, and these are my friends: Trevor, Austin, Camilla, and Maddie." He said nicely. "I have no one to be with, my only friend left me, my father died, my mother is always busy she doesn't care anyway. I'm Skyler and I'm 13 years old." I said as they were looking at me.

-Don't you worry dear, we will be your friends, we liked you and you seem cute and friendly.

-Awww, thank you so much. I never heard these words from anyone. So do you guys want to euh like come to my house? It's actually like a castle, we can have a party or something like that.

-Yes let's go.

We went to my house and Jay was driving his own car. As soon as we arrived, we installed the music, the snacks, and some drinks. Jay is a break dancer, he have good skills. I was very tired so I sat on the couch. It was already 1 am. Austin come and says:" Skyler, we're going to the balcony, would you join us?" I followed them and I saw them smocking.

"Come and try it, you will feel very good!" Jay spoke. I took the cigarette and put it between my lips. It taste good, she move you to another place, a better one actually. Maddie was holding a glass of vodka in her hands. I wanted to try it. She poured me one. I drank around 4-5 glasses. My head was spinning, my heart was beating very fast, my vision was blurry, and I was laughing out loud and talking non-sense: I was actually drunk. "Let's put her in the bed, she tried enough tonight." I heard Jay screaming. He carries me to my bed and covers me with my blanket. "Goodnight princess." He whispered. He shut the door and turned the lights off. I slept. The next day, my mum come and wakes me up:"Skyler, get out of your bed we need to talk."

-What's wrong mother?

-What are all these drinks down in the living room? And it smells cigarettes.

-Euh, nothing. I had a party with my friends and we drank. Is there any problem?

-No I was just wondering. Anyway I'm going to travel for a week. I have a meeting in Amsterdam and stuff. My planes is 4 hours left so goodbye sweetheart. I love you.

She just left as usual. My phone was ringing, Oh it's Jay. He sent a message:"Hello cutie. How are you today? Well we're going to have lunch somewhere so if you're going to join us reply, I will come and take you. Kisses." I replied. I wanted to see him, he is very nice and sweet and I don't think he will hurt me. He come and picks me up. "You look gorgeous." Said Jay as he smiled like a devil. We arrived. It was a tiny street. There was stairs to go down. We started to walk as we saw a door. He opens it. A lot of people were there. It's kind of a PUB. He gave me a glass of alcohol. "Hey Skyler." His friends say. We ate pizza and fries. We danced and had fun. Then we sat and talked a little. After a while Trevor and Camilla went somewhere and Austin and Maddie went too. I stayed alone with Jay. I was feeling cold so he gave me his jacket. I wanted to go home. He drives me to his house. Before I leave the car, he kissed me. His lips tasted like Nicotine as I fell in love with him...
