Mental (Sturniolo's best friend)

7

I got discharged today and i am now am at the Sturniolo's house. The triplets won't leave me alone, especially Matt. Matt just felt bad because he knew he dropped me off so it was 'his fault'. In reality it wasn't his fault. It was my fault for talking back to my dad, especially after his wife took his kids, except for me, and left. Especially since I knew what happened when I talked back to him. I've had PLENTY of experience.

"Do you need anything? Anything at all?" Matt asked.

"No, I'm good. Thank you though." I say.

"What if I want something?" Nick called out.

"Get it yourself, dumbass." Matt said.

It were these little harsh arguments that made me love this family. Ever since I got to the house, they would NOT let me leave their sight, unless I was using the restroom.

"I just want to go to my room."

"Here, let me help you." Nick said.

"Sir, I hate to burst your bubble but I can walk." I said as I used my crutches to get up the stairs.

Ironic, I can't walk without crutches. I'm so funny.

Matt POV:

I don't know how Kiara is going to do at school tomorrow. I am planning on following her throughout the halls, not in a creepy way, but lets just say Kiara gets on people's nerves. Sometimes even on my nerves, but I get on her nerves so its okay.

I feel the need to take care of her more than I normally do. I am never going to let anything happen to her ever again. If I do, I will never forgive myself.

Kiara POV:

Its now the morning and I have to go to school. Tell my whey the people there are so annoying, like seriously. I am all ready but my cute outfit was ruined by my cast. This is a tragedy. I feel like ever since I moved in with the Sturniolo's, I have been so much happier, and since I don't have to deal with my family. I do miss my siblings though.

I am now finally ready and heading over to the car. I don't think I can handle this anymore. What if people stare at me. What if people push me as a joke. Someone pushed a kid down the stairs as a joke once, she broke her neck. I watched it happen, it was so scary.

We are at school now. I hate this feeling. The feeling of being more helpless than everyone you are around. I can't participate in my PE class anymore. I loved that class. I am a very active person. I love walking, runs, sports, and now I can't do any of it. I feel so powerless.

Well, time for class. Matt and I have our first period together. He talked to his teachers and the principle and he is able to walk me to each class though so I should be fine. As we were walking, a kid ran past me and jumped to tap me on the head. He and his friends were laughing as I almost fell over. He might have tried to tap me on the head, but he ended up pushed my head forward on accident. Matt caught me luckily. What would I do without him.

We are all sitting at lunch, waiting for Nick. Nick occasionally would talk to someone for too long and it made him late. It was like when your parents start awkward conversations with strangers and you can't do anything about it. It wasn't that frequent this would happen, but Nick was trying to expand his social circle. I don't know where this came from but he wanted to randomly. Even Chris and Matt were confused at his gesture but nobody judged him for it, except a couple jokes from Chris.

Finally Nick arrive and starts to join the conversation. A couple of lacrosse and hockey kids sat with us today. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I chose not to engage in the conversation. Instead, I zoned out overthinking.
