No Second Chances Book 1

Chapter 5 - No excuses this time

 I knocked on Aj's door hoping he'd let me in.

His mom answered the door with opening arms when seeing my tears fall down my face.

She welcomed me in, and held my hand. 

We went inside the house, and sat in the living room.

"It's okay sweetie," Maggie kept assuring me.

I had no one to go to except them. I actually needed them unlike everyone else. They were my hope for the future. 

"Please don't leave me," I said whispering. I needed them more than ever right now. Once Kristen tells everyone what happened, i'll be disowned. I had no talent. I suck at singing, but no one ever tells me. They just lie, and say i'm 'amazing,' it hurts. My family doesn't realize it. But, I do. I have to be the one with the intelligence. I hate it. 

"They don't need me Maggie. They just don't."

"Hunny, i'm sure they do. You just don't realize it right now."

"Maggie, I have no talent like my siblings do, I don't have the look, the voice or the body." I said about crying.

"Lacey, listen to me. You have a beautiful voice. Aj talks about you all the time, and how he's so happy to have you as a best friend. He needs you about as much as you need him. 

"Is Arthur here?" I smiled at the thought of his name. He always makes me feel better, just by his everything

 He just makes my heart flutter.

"I still wonder how he lets you call him Arthur, he always gets angry when I try. But, yes sweetie. He's upstairs in his room." 

"Thank you Maggie! I love you! You really are amazing. You're like my mom to me. Since my mother just agrees with my father all the time so she's like my sister. Kinda." I said laughing.

"Lacey, I love you to death. You are a dream come true to most adults. I haven't met one person who has complained about you yet!"

I smiled back at her. 

Maggie and Arthur aren't rich like my family, but they aren't poor either. That's why I love their home. They don't have million dollar furniture, or a huge tv. They're just, middle class. Unlike my family, I couldn't say me because I don't own anything, it's not like I need it though. I hate acting like a rich snob in front of people. It just doesn't suit me. So that's why in front of friends, strangers, and relatives, I actually act real. I don't need to be fake.

I'm just perfectly fine on my own. Who needs everyone else except the ones who love you? No one. I need Maggie, and Arthur. Just like they need me. 

I went up the stairs and opened the first door on the left. It was closed but oh well. He doesn't mind me going in his room, it was his mom he's usually worried about. I've had a few occasions where he shut his door to have some peace and quiet. 

I hope I don't wake him up.

I opened the door and walked in to a familiar guy laying on top of a not so smart blonde. 

"AH!" I screamed, wipeing my eyes. Please be a dream. 

"Are you serious Aj?" I said getting pissed when reality actually waked me up. I hardly call him Aj so you can tell that I am pissed. 

I looked at the whore on his bed. She had no problem with me being in here. Is she that much of a sex-freak? She doesn't care who's watching her? 

"Don't mind her babe, just think of me," The blonde mentioned. 

Yeah, she has no brain. Or she just doesn't think straight.

"Yeah Aj, go back to fucking her, i'm sure she's lonely having no one to satisfy her pussy." I mentioned while leaving his room.

I walked downstairs skipping steps not caring if I misjudged my stepping and landed face-flat on the ground.

I found Maggie.

"Your son, would like me to tell you not to bother him upstairs, he's busy having sex. Bye Maggie. Thank you for comforting me, since your son would much rather fuck than talk about feelings." 

I left with no tears. I didn't need him. 

He never loved me.

Never cared about me.

Never thought about me.

Just thought I was an extra person. 

A tag-along.

A stalker. 

He was the one person I didn't except to hurt me. But, why? Why did I react like that. It's his life. He can have sex with anyone. If he gets a disease it's his fault. 

All I know is i'm not going to get hurt no more. 

I pulled out my I phone 4. I was the only one in my family who didn't have an I phone 5. I refuse. I don't want to be treated like a rich snob. I just want to be normal.

There is no such thing as normal, but there is such thing as yourself. 

I hate being myself.
