I got an A- on my project because it was turned in late. I wasn't mad. At least I got up to an A. It's not like I was going to cry. "A-... That's very good." Kyle says. He hates failures. If Kyle sees and F on a paper, he'll tutor that person. He's very smart. "Thanks." I say and showed Shane my paper. "You got a better grade than me!" he says showing me his B. "That's good!" I say and Shane smiled.
Shane is a smart guy. That's one of the things I like about him. "School ends next week. Then its summer vacation." Torri says. "Meet cute boys, get tanned maybe party." Jade says. "Of course that's all you'd do for vacation." Jamie says leaning on Leo's shoulder. Yeah, they're dating. "So, what are you going to do for vacation?" Kyle asked me. "I really don't know. Surf. Hang with Shane and Torri. My regular summer vacation." I say with a shrug.
Surfing is one of the things I like to do during the summer. It relaxes me. "Aw, I'm on your list of things to do durning the summer." Torri says hugging me. "You're always one of my first options." I say. "What are you going to do during the summer?" Leo asked Shane.
Shane had a sad expression on his face but then he quickly got rid of it. "Spend some time with my favorite girl in the world and maybe look for some colleges." Shane says.
College, the place you go to for four years and visit home on holidays. "Don't be too sad Rylee. We still have 3 months left." Shane says hugging me. "That's not enough." I say trying not to cry. "Everything will be okay." he says and held onto me. "How can you be sure?" I ask and buried my face onto his chest. "Let's just worry about that later. In the meantime, let's just have some fun." Shane tells me and the eight of us headed to Torri and Shane's place.
I followed Shane into his room.
It's pink with rainbows everywhere. Just kidding. It was green with football posters everywhere. He had PS3,Nintendo Wii,and Xbox 360 game systems next to his tv. "Can we play Black Ops?" I asked. He looked at me. "What? A girl can't play Black ops? You're such a stereotype." I say placing my hands on my hip. "Okay." he says and hands me the player 2 controller. "I want first player." I tell him and he handed me the first controller. I smiled.
I had a killstreak of 32. Shane just froze. "A girl is twice as better than guys." I say with a sigh. "Have you played this before?" he asked. "This is my first time playing. I wanted to try it." I say truthfully. "You're the first girl I've ever knew that can play Black Ops." he says and Leo pops in. "You're playing black ops? Why didn't you tell me? Damn girl, 32 killstreak?" Leo says with hand motions.
I don't understand why guys think that war and zombies and shooting is a guy thing. Girls can handle those types of things. I proved them that I can do better. "Team deathmatch." the screen said.
What seemed to be about 3 hours or so, Shane and I got off of the game and went downstairs. I forgot that our friends were here. "You two are the perfect couple." Torri says and I yawn. "You two were up there for hours. What were you two doing?" Jamie asked. "I was beating him in black ops." I say. "I was just going easy on her." he says. "Yeah and pigs can fly." I say and kissed his cheek.
"I want to plan your wedding!" Torri says randomly. "Okay." Shane says. "You two are acting like your married. I'm surprised you two haven't gotten into the honeymoon stage." Kyle says and I playfully slap his arm. Kyle pretends to cry and said that I made a boo boo on his arm.
You gotta love my friends. They're always there for me and they're funny. "Remember when all of us met?" I ask. Everyone looked at me and smiled. "Yeah and I still can't believe that you cut my hair." Kyle says. "You needed a hair cut." I say grinning. "Maybe it was fate that the seven of us met." Jade says. "Maybe." the rest of us say.
We all started talking about random stuff. "Why do the caterpillar and the ant have to be enemies One eats leaves, and the other eats caterpillars. Oh, I see now....." I say randomly. "That's not about tacos." Kyle says. "I thought we were talking about pie." Jamie says. "weren't we talking about monkeys?" Shane asked. We were actually talking about ice cream... I think.
Our conversations never make any sense most of the time and It's funny. "So, why are apple red and green?" Jade asks. "I don't know." I answer. "I'll google it." she says. "Without google, we'd be screwed." Torri says grabbing soda from the kitchen. "Have you heard of Bing? I don't even understand it." Jamie says. "I don't like bing. It's kind of stupid. Google all the way!" Shane says throwing his hands in the air. "Amen!" Leo say and all of us laugh. What the hell by Avril Lavigne came on the radio.
I jumped on top of the island and started dancing. "Wheb was the radio on?" I ask laughing and fell off. Shane caught me. "You saved me!" I say and kissed him.
After the incident, I went home to my brother since he was blowing up my phone.
I saw a car in the driveway. Once I got inside the house I dropped my phone. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "I live here." my mother says. "Oh really? Since when?"
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some popcorn and heated it up. Jared walked in. "What is she doing here?" I ask. "She wants your forgiveness." he says as I take the popcorn out of the microwave. "Well she isn't getting it." I say and walked to the living room.
My mom was still standing by the door. "Rylee, why wont you try to listen to what I want to say." mom asks. "....shoot." I say and grabbed a handful of popcorn.
"Rylee, I want to be your mother." she says. "Aren't you my mother already?" I ask. "I mean like the type of mother who talks to their daughters and hangs out with then." she says. Jared sits next to me and took my popcorn bag. I snatched it back. "I'm 18 mom. I don't need a mom." I say and sighed. "All I ask is for your forgiveness." she says almost crying.
"Everything was going great until YOU came. I don't need a mom and I don't need you." I say almost spitting the words out. "You don't mean that. You are just mad." she tells me and walks over to me. "You can never be a mother. You lost that chance." I say and then she said something that made me happy but sad.
"You're going to stay at your Aunts. As in stay, I mean you're going to live there for now on." "You can't make me leave my hometown! You can't make me leave my childhood." I say. "Im your mother and you're going to do what I tell you to do." she says calmly. I stood up.
"You're no mother. I don't even know you! And I don't have to do what you say because I'm practically an adult!" I yell.
"Then you can move out. You were a mistake anyways." my 'mom' says.
"You're a f**cing b**ch! If you were my mom, you would never say that!" then she slapped me. I fell onto the floor and Jared helped me up.
"You never talk back to me like that ever again!" she yelled. I ran into my room and locked it. My mother never laid a hand on me before. I don't even know if shes my mother.
I placed my hand on my injured cheek and cried. I looked at my desk and walked over to it. I opened the drawer and glanced at my razor.
I slowly picked it up and cut deeply into my skin. I'm not the little girl my parents wanted me to be. I am something else.The blade is now sinking in deeper by the second. My blood squirting and pouring out as I move the blade down. My heart is pumping and slowly stopping. Why isn't someone here to stop me?
I'm feeling dizzy and now my carpet is red. My blood is dripping, now I'm tripping. I unlock my door and run to Jared's room but at the same time I tried to put my blood back in. I knock on Jared's door but he isn't there. Nobody is. Where could they be?
I ran to my phone and tried to call Shane. "Hello babe." he says. "Shane." I cry. I'm staring at my bleeding arm. As the blood starts to pour.... I faint and fall onto the floor.
