The Bad Boy Gave Me a Black Eye

-1.5- Lost

This is Lacy's point of view. All the half chapters are filler chapters, and usually someone else's point of view.

I sit bewildered. Mrs. Daniels.. She was my second mum, my role model, my idol.. And now..

I sit with Jem crying, holding on to her.

Suddenly I hear a thump coming from the main hall.

"Open up!" An unfamiliar voice calls.

I look back at the others with frightened bloodshot eyes.

"Open up!" The voice repeats.

Emily helps me stand up, and I try to walk with my legs like Jello. I look back at Jem and she is just staring ahead, not even crying, yet tears are coming down. I wipe her tears, and she just stares.

I lean on Emily as Kayley and the  twins comfort Jemenia, and Emily and I hobble over to the door. I peek through the door, and see a man in a police uniform, and a few parents behind him.

I open the door, and my mother rushes to me. After hugging me, she looks me in the eyes. I see her eyes are puffy.

"We will wait for the rest of the parents to go, then we are leaving." She says sternly.

I look back and see the other parents picking up their kids. I look a back to mom and shake my head. "I'm not leaving Jemmy."

She stands up so she is no longer my Height, and holds my hand taking me inside. We pass other parents dragging their kids, and I wave goodbye to them. The twins wave, and so do Emily and Kayley. They give me a sad smile and turn back to their parents, holding their bags.

I let go of mum's hand and grab something from the table and rush over to Jem. She is just sitting there, staring at the blank screen. I sigh, and grab a tissue to wipe her tears again.

I sit down and hand her my present which I got from the table. "Here."

She just stares at the screen, not doing anything. I breathe in and out, then sit next to her. I don't want to do this..

"You know what I think?" I ask looking at her.

She slowly turns her head to me. I wipe her tears again, and stare into her blood shot eyes.

"I think that no matter what, Katie and your parents wouldn't want you sulking here in front of the tele." I look at her my hands on the present.

"You think so?" She croaks.

I nod. "Defiantly."

As if hit by a truck, her eyes widen. "What will happen to me?"

My eyes widen too, and I look back at mom.

"Pack your bags Jemenia. Your staying with us." Mum says looking at us. "And don't worry about clothes, we will take care of it."

"Really?" Jemmy croaks again. Mum nods.

I put the present in her lap. "Here."

She looks up at me, then down at the present. She starts to unwrap it, then gasps. She holds up a piece of paper.

"Really??" Jemenia asks. I nod grinning, despite the situation. On that piece of paper is a "coupon" I got from my neighbor who is having purebred American Shorthaired kittens, and She gave me that coupon as to say I get first pick.

"You can have your very own kitten now!"

I gasp as she tackles me. "Thank you." She whispers.

I smile at her, and help her stand up with me. "Let's go pack your stuff."

She nods and wipes her tears.
