Stay With Me

Chapter 3

Tiffany's POV

I finally approached my front porch, shivering with fear, pain, and hatred all bundled up into one. I can't believe I even fell for that dumb ass act Chase just pulled on me. School was half way over, meaning Kayla would call me and see why I vanished from school. Where have I gone?

I searched my pocket, looking for my house key. "Dammit!" I murmered. I forgot my house key.....again. I knocked on the door hoping my mom was back from Matthew's house, but because no one answered I kind of figured she was still there.

I waited for an hour and a half on the porch, until I felt my butt vibrate. I took my iPhone from my back pocket and checked the ID. I took a deep breath before I answered the call.

"H-hello?" I said a little hesitant.

"Tiffy!! Why the hell did you leave school? Did something happen? Are you hurt?" The other line rambled on. Kayla knows me so well. I mean, something did happen, and I did get hurt, physically and emotionally. I rubbed the ugly ass hickey on my neck, quietly yelping in pain before responding.

"K-Kayla. Come over asap. Ok?" I managed to get out

"Sure thing, babes." She said with no hesitation. I need to tell her how much of a bastard Chase is. Its gonna be heartbreaking, but if I hold it in much longer, I think Im going to explode.

"Oh and Kay.." I started. "Can you please bring your spare key I gave you to my house? I'm kind of-"

"Locked out?" She questionedwith a slight giggle, cutting me off.

"Shut up, bitch." I jokingly said. She fake gasped.

"Be there in 2 minutes, Tiffy."

"Kk girl." I hung up and waited. I was getting so impatient. I started twiddling me fingers, when a navy blue SUV parked in my driveway. Kayla's here. Here goes nothing. I exhaled air I didn't even know I was holding in. She got out and walked over to me. She bent down on one knee in front of me. She bowed her head and held the spare key in her opened palm.

"Your majesty." She said, with a cheeky grin. I snatched it from her palm and pulled her up on her two feet. She started throwing out fits of laughter.

"Smart fuck." I said, nudging her shoulder playfully. I unlocked the front door to my house. I walked inside, soon with Kayla trailing in behind me, slowing down her giggles. She jiggled the keys out from the key hole because I forgot to. I'm forgetful. Don't judge. She inhaled then soon exhaled out of breathe for laughing so hard.

"So Tiff. Why did you want me to come over? To hang out? Damn. I shoulda brought popcorn-" I cut her off.

"Kayla, no. I needa tell you something really freaking important. Let's go up to my room, yeah?"

"Sure. Wait, you're not..you know..lesbo, are you?" Kayla said with a smirk, her hands up in surrender. My mouth dropped to an 'O' shape. Oh no she didn't! She held her hands up to block herself as I ran to her and punched her shoulder, full force. She squealed and rubbed the spot where I had just punched. I started dying of laughter and told her to follow me upstairs to my room.

When we got upstairs and in my bedroom, my heart started beating 50 times a minute. Oh shit! Ok. Tiffany you can do it. Just tell her. She sat in the middle of my bed. I looked at my mirror while she was paying all her attention on her phone. I took my hair and covered the hickey.

In the mirror, I saw Kayla was paying attention to me again. I spun around and joined her on the bed. I brought my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs.

"So, who were you texting." I said in a girly voice.

"Chase. He told me to tell you he says hi." Well tell him I said fuck you and go jump off of a 10 story building, you dirty bastard!

"N-nice." I basically choked on my words. Let's just make it more obvious, why don't I. Ugh.

"So Kay. Hear me out. Ok?" I questioned, in all seriousness. She nodded and put all her attention towards me. I gulped silently. I swear I'm going to vomit!

"Tiff, are you ok?" She asked, rubbing my back. I nodded. I was totally lying. I'm so not ok.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I said, walking toward my private bathroom I have in my room. I shut and locked the door. I ran to the toilet and basically puked my guts out. I felt my stomach emptying out completely in the toilet. I just couldn't choke it down anymore.

I finally stopped and stood up, clenching my stomach with pain and disgust, a horrible aftertaste filling my mouth. This is all because of Chase!! This is all his fault! Well, was it mine too? I mean, I did stay at his house. I did trust him. But I was a fucking idiot! I feel horrible. I went over to the bathtub and sat down on the ledge. I took a quick glance at my razor blade sitting on the ledge next to me. Tiffany, dont do it! This isn't you. Stop. I kept thinking that over and over in my head.

Fuck it.

I rolled up my long sleeves that belonged to my pink blouse I was wearing. I took my razor blade and gripped it tightly in my hand. I kept trying to convince myself that this would help me feel better and that it's not that bad. That's when the razor blade made contact with my skin. I used the point of the blade to trace my vains going up my arms. I was quietly screaming. It hurt so bad but it got the stress off of my shouders. Suddenly my phone beeped signaling that my phone got a text. I checked the ID. It was a text message from Kayla. I opened the message.

Kayla<3: Hey Tiffy. I'm sorry but my mom called. She's getting married soon so she wants me to help her with the preparation for the wedding. I had to go, but I hope you're ok.

I sighed and placed my phone back in my back pocket and my razor back down and wiped the blood going up both arms away with a tissue. It stung so bad and it's gonna be scarring by night. I pulled down my sleeves and walked out the bathroom. At least I feel so much better than before.
