21.

I came home that day after practice and cried. Literally I did nothing else but cry, I just laid in bed crying. Seeing Lucas was hard. It was even more hard when I saw him sitting next to her. All through out sixth period I wanted to cry, Especially the last ten minutes of class when I saw Emma all up on Lucas.

Christian and Marcus noticed me noticing them, Christian rubbed my shoulder and pulled me in a hug. I didn't cry. I wanted to, but I knew I couldn't. Not in front of Emma and Lucas.

"Awww is she crying? Poor baby!" Emma said.

I looked up from Christian arms. I was about to say something but then I saw Lucas staring at me.

"Ignore her." Christian whispered to me. I didn't say anything I just played with Christian shirt.

"Looks, like she found her rebound." Emma told Lucas.

I sprang up from my seat and yelled out to my art teacher "Mrs. Pace the dog won't stop it's barking! It needs to be let out!" I had enough of Emma and I just snapped.

"Kimberly what did I say about behaving?" Mrs. Pace yelled. Everyone stopped what they were doing & watched us as we argued.

"You told the wrong person to behave cause this bitch over here!" I pointed to Emma. "Just won't shut it." I said on the verge of tears.

"She's just mad I'm with Lucas now." Emma said quickly.

"I'm not with you!" Lucas said at the same time as I said "bitch keep him."

Lucas gave me a face full of hurt. I didn't say anything but look away. That's when the bell rang and I ran out the class before anyone could stop me.

Now it's Tuesday morning and me and my step father are on our way to the DMB.

"You're mom said you can miss school today." He told me. "Zach and Leah told us what happened yesterday..."

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. "She had it coming."

He didn't say anything. "Are you ready for your test?" He asked as we pulled up to the place.

I nodded.

"I passed!!!" I ran out to my step father and told him the news.

"That's great Kim!" He congratulated me.

"I have to call Xavier!" I pulled out my phone and called him.

"Hello?" He asked once he answered.

"Xavier! I passed! I have my license!!!"  I yelled.

"OH MY GOD!" Xavier yelled. "Congrats Kim! I'm so proud of you!"

"Thank you! I'm glad I can have a bit more freedom." I admitted.

Xavier laughed."Okay, Kim I gotta go. I have class."

"Okay Xavier." I said not wanting to hang up. "I'll see you soon." I truly miss you.

I needed my brother now more than ever.

"Kim can I drop you off at the house?" My step father asked.

"Sure, do you need me to pick up Zach?" I asked.

"Uh yes, please." He said.

He pulled up to the house and I got out and headed up to the house.

Once I was inside I walked up to my room and grabbed my car keys. Once I had them in my hands I walked back outside and in my car to pick up Zach.
