He's Hazardous to my Heart

Chapter 2

I reached the end of the hall and stood facing Savannah's door it was slightly open and a crack of warm sunlight seeped out. She was in there, I knew it. She never left her door open, even a crack when she wasn't in her room. Ever since Molly their puppy arrived last December she was queen bee. She pretty much had free range of the house. So now everyone but Leanna and Jim, Savannah's parents closed their bedroom doors all the time. Hell, they did most of the time anyway. I pushed open Savannah's bedroom door, again I never knock when I'm at their house and I practically live here. I entered the familiar lime green room. The walls still plastered with a mix of band posters, everything from country, rock, rap, pop, to heavy metal, and thousands of pictures and tangible memories from throughout our whole lives. From the beginning of middle school we went through our phases. I still remember when we went through a metal head punk phase with lots of fake piercings crazy hair dyeing and way to much head banging. It came to a stop after Sierra found the marble bathroom sink dyed neon purple, lets just say Jim and Leanna were pretty pissed.

I walked to Savannah's bed where an all to familiar shape laid curled in a tight ball. I tugged her comforter off her as she rolled over to face me. Her mascara streaked down her cheeks mixed with tears and her gorgeous natural blonde hair. Her big blue eyes were veiny and swollen from crying. Still even in her horrid state, she was still incredibly gorgeous. I think everyone in her family was gorgeous or handsome. Her mom, Leanna looked very young for her age and had the thick blonde hair and big blue eyes her three daughters had inherited. Her dad Jim was fit for his age and had thick dark brown hair and dull blue eyes. Landon looked like a younger version of his dad except with bright ocean blue eyes he had inherited from his mother. Landon was incredibly Handsome, the sad thing is he knows he is, bringing him to a whole new level on the jerk meter. I looked at Savannah, she was in her pajamas, it was 2:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday in mid June, her hair was sticking up at odd angles and she hadn't showered. Something was definitely wrong with my bubbly sweet outgoing best friend. I Looked into her eyes and said,

"What the hell happened!?!? And don't even say you're okay, cause I know for a fact you aren't." She looked up at me then broke out in another fit of sobs

"Oh Miranda, It's Owen." She cried even harder, latching onto my shoulders. I hated Owen since middle school when he hit me in the back of the head with a bottle of milk during lunch,It gave me a concussion and made me miss out on half of the volleyball season. The only sport I play, and one my school only has in middle school. My Hatred for him grew even stronger when he and a bunch of my fellow middle schoolers subtlety began picking on me about my weight,like when I walked past they would whisper in each others ears "Watch out! Wide load coming through" even though they thought they were whispering I still heard them. It was a little painful but I pushed through. The didn't publicly bully me because of my friends, my friends were then and have always got my back, just like how I have theirs. I still remember how each and every one of the people who had made fun of me, mouths dropped when they saw me walk into school on the first day of my sophomore year, finally 16, skinny for the first time in my life and taller at about 5 feet 7. Owen actually asked me out first, and began hating me all over again because I rejected him. He thought that since he plays football and is covered in bulging muscles every girl was completely in love with him. Two weeks later Savannah and Owen began dating. I still haven't told her, after almost a year now.

"Oh my, it must be very serious. You used my full first name." I pulled back and looked at her expectedly. She smiled slightly.

"Making me laugh while I'm an emotional train wreck. This is why I love you."I looked at her shocked.

"That's the only reason why you love me?!? Now I wanna go crawl under a rock and die." She looked at me.

"Of course that's not the only reason, but I had to start somewhere." I hugged her tightly again.

"I have a bone to pick with you." She looked at me.

" Oh my what have I done now." I looked at her seriously.

" Why did I have to come over here and find you like this based on a gut feeling?!? Why was I not called immediately after the events that caused this." I said motioning to her and the bed Beneath us. She looked around.

" I know I know. It's just.... Well, I called Owen yesterday night and there where a lot of voices in the background, so I asked him where he was he told me he was racing down at the track. So, I thought since I haven't gone to see him race in a while I should surprise him there. Well when I got there I parked and then went to find Him I was so disgusted because most of the other racers were older, and even when they had two whores hanging on each arm they still felt the need to ask me if I've had a good fucking lately. I finally found Owen and he was acting just like those other guys. He had four sluts rubbing all over him, and one shoving her tongue down his throat. He was enjoying it, way to much. I just turned and ran, I didn't even say anything to him. Randi, what should I do." She started sobbing again. I pulled her up to stand.

" Pull yourself together!! Don't let that asshole make you cry! I have an idea anyway." She wiped her eyes and looked at me.

"What's your idea?"

"What's Landon's really cute friends name? umm... Isn't like Kenneth, Ken, well it's something like that."

"His names Kenneth but he prefers to be called Ken." Savannah interrupted me. I glared at her.

"Well as I was saying, before someone so rudely interrupted me, Ken" I exaggerated his name. "Has a big crush on you. And I think you should ask him to play your boyfriend at the races Tonight. We could go to watch your brother race. Then when you see Owen, gush to Ken how he's the best boyfriend you've ever had. When Owen goes up to you and asks you what's going on or why you have another boyfriend, just tell him you thought it was over last week when he had a bunch of whores hanging all over him and one shoving her tongue down his throat. Then walk away. Cause trust me honey, you can do way better. Maybe you and Ken could date, you would be adorable together." She looked straight at my given we were the same height.

" I can't believe I gave Owen everything. I trusted him. I thought he loved me. Thank god it turned out I wasn't pregnant, he probably would have dumped me if I was." Her eyes started tearing up again.

"What did I tell you before."she looked at me and smiled.

"Not to cry over him."

We spent the rest of the day outside swimming in her pool. Then we want to a little diner in town to eat dinner. We spent Friday morning swimming. Around 3 pm we went inside to get ready for the races I quickly got a shower towel dried my hair and let it hang down my back. Then i did my make up my favorite thick black eyeliner, mascara and some foundation. I put on some cutoff shorts a low cut tank top so I didn't sweat like a pig in the hot summer sun and my favorite pair of combat style boots. All of which I took out of my large amount of clothes that seemed to permanently stay at their house. I decided to make my little plan work out perfectly so I headed down the hallway to find Landon and hopefully Ken since he was usually here, or at least Ken's number. A new worrying pain still balling in my stomach.
