Sinking

Ugh--

"Please just dont talk to him okay?" Laura said as we walked inside of her house.

"He's not a bad guy Laura! maybe if you gave him a chance you will see the real side of him!" I fought back. dear lord I'm caching feelings.

"I already have! just dont hang out with him okay?" Laura shouted.

I really can't lose my friendship with Laura over Beck. she's my only friend in the world.

"Ugh fine!" I snort out. regretting my decision.

"Okay I'm gonna go out for a bit. just stay here and do whatever." Laura said.

"Whatever." I said upset. I crossed my arms over my chest and sat on the couch.

"I'm gonna walk, so if you need to go to the store or something, you can take the truck." she said as she opened the door.

"Bye" I snapped.

I can't drive anyway so. I know I'm 18 but I never took my drivers test. on that note, my birthday is in 3 days. then I'm gonna be 19.

I turned in the tv and went on the Xbox to go on Netflix. I watched Pretty Little Liars for about 10 minutes and then I heard a knock on the door.

I got up off the couch and walked to to the door. I put my good posture on and smiled.
I opened the door, and there before me stood Beck Forrester.

My smile quickly diminished.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second, at the pier?" he asked as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Uh... Um... S-sure." I said. I'm sorry but Laura can't tell me who I can and can't hang out with.

"Okay, let's go" I walked out of the door and shut it.

"W-what did you w-want to talk about?" I stuttered. God Damnit Maria!

"Can I tell u when we get to the pier?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said. we walked in silence the whole way there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once we got to the end of the pier, we both sat on the edge with our feet hanging off.

"You know, I'm not as bad as Laura says I am." Beck said. he fooled down at me.

"Yeah. w-what's up with you and Laura?" I asked. playing to Jesus that he will give me an answer.

"Why does s-she hate you?" I mean I kind of feel bad for Beck.

"Well, I cough her hair on fire once." he said. i looked up at him and he Looked at me.

"What's the r-real reason?" I asked softly. he sighed.

"She really doesn't like me. I know why but I was sworn to secrecy." he laughed.

"Sworn to secrecy?" I said quirking an eyebrow. Beck laughed louder.

"Yup!" he agreed.

It want silent around us exempt for the sounds of the waves crashing down.

"Laura doesn't want me talking to you." I finally broke the silence.

"Ugh! she can be so difficult sometimes!" beck said as he stood up.

"Come on. I should get you home before Laura notices." he said as I stood up.

We walked down the pier in complete silence.

"Looks like the awkward fairy has visited us once again." I mumbled. Beck let out a soft chuckle.

"MARIA?!" I heard a familiar voice yell. I look to the side.

It was Laura.

Oh

Jesus

Please

Help

Me.

"MARIA WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WITH BECK?!" She shouted.

"Laura, you are making it sound like I was raping her!" Beck laughed.

"Shut up ManWhore I don't need the peanut gallery over here!" Laura snapped.

Oh

Shit

"Laura, I could explain! I-"

"Maria I told you not to hang out with him!" she shouted with pure anger.

"Your not my mother! you can't tell me who I can and can't be friends with!" I screamed back.

"Damn." Beck said as he took a step back.

"Maria I just... UGH!" Laura said frustrated.

"You just what?" I asked angrily. Laura started to cry. she ran up to me and hugged me.

"I just don't want you getting hurt like I did."
