Rain....Is it really that good?

I have it bad part 1

While still holding Sapphire's number I began thinking that maybe she was the girl finally ready to change me. While I think that over the two parts of my brain start thinking too. One side is saying that I should just forget her and just go get laid by another girl while I'm at it. I almost smile thinking of my times in my younger years where I would drink, smoke, do illegal drugs, sleep with a girl just to prove that I could. I frown though as the other side reminds me of the times my father beat my mother and the signs were showing up again. Did she even want my help? When I tried to help her last time she hightailed it out of here pretty quick. God. When did I get to be like this? I could have any girl I want but I'm stuck with this chick who might be getting abused by god knows who. Even as I think that though I can’t help but think of calling her. I look at the clock, 8 in the morning. School had started and she was probably learning Math, English, History and shit like that. I was not going back to that school. I might have been the school flirt, bad boy, party boy, and number one drug dealer but I had a 4.0 GPA. Who would have thought that I would? I decide to take a chance and call her house after a few rings a man answers the phone. It didn’t sound like her father and he sounded worried at least. Dear god if anything happened to her I'll kill the person myself. I calm down and take deep breaths.

"This is Dr. Perry how may I help you?"

"Oh. I um must have the wrong number then I was looking for a girl named Sapphire"

"No you got the right number son and Sapphire is busy with her mother at the moment may I take a message?" I hear a conversation going on in the background. It sounded like whoever was talking was also crying. I was listening to the crying so much that I didn’t answer him at first and he had to repeat the question. I shake my head clear and say I'll be over to help with the situation. At first he's hesitant but finally he agrees and we say our goodbyes while hanging up. I change quickly and then put on my running shoes. I run to the shop and look at Tony. He nods to upstairs and I could tell he was upset. I run up the stairs and knock on the door. Well maybe knock isn’t the right word more like bang. Finally, the guy who must be Dr. Perry lets me in and leads me to Sapphire who is holding the hand of a woman who looks almost dead. She looks at who's there and looks right at me. She doesn’t say anything she just introduces me to her mother. If her mother had her old color and spunk like my mom said she did in high school then she would look like an older version of Sapphire. But this was just too much. She was deathly white and her lips were blue like she was dressed up for a Halloween party. I look at Dr. Perry and see that he's putting the blanket over her mother. I go to Sapphire and hug her while she cries into my chest. I stroke her hair as she finally stops crying and looks at me with those beautiful eyes. Suddenly, the side of the brain that wanted me to go to her was right all along. I smell alcohol on her breath and pull her out of the room. She didnt deserve to be sad, lonely, or better yet smelling like a new bottle of vodka. I pull her outside and just walk around town with her. Finally, she asks where we're going. I lead her to the theater and ask her what she wants to see. She shrugs and I choose a random movie. Just happens to be Saw. Wow I didn’t plan that.
