Liz Whats Wrong With You?

Tattoos and more

"How about you Liz? Have any tattoos?" I looked up from my window seal perch at Alex. For the last hour and a half I listen absentmindedly to the comparing and contrasting of tattoos the guys were doing but I payed more attention to the world beyond that thin sheet of glass I was pressed against. I watched as countless pedestrians scurried down the streets to unknown destinations but crushing the crisp autumn leaves without regret or thought. 

"Why don't you ask my friends? They should know." I smiled at Hunter.  

"Just show them all of um." Hunter replied.  

" okay. I have this one on my left wrist. It's supposed to show that I care about suicide victims and want to help prevent others from doing it." I said pulling up the sleeve on my sweater to reveal the black ink words written in cursive just below my palm on my left wrist. Love. At the end a little red heart dotted it with a touch of excellent color. Brilliant but simple enough. I continued.  

"I have this one too. It's Andy's full name on the outer side and his birthday on the inside." I said turning my right wrist for them to examining the ink.  

"This one is my favorite." I grinned at Hunter. She knew my big masterpiece that she held my hand for was my favorite. "Mind giving me a hand with my shirt?" I asked Jami.  

"Woah now! I said to show tattoos not strip." Alex joked.  

"Haha very funny. I'm just showing my favorite. Now hush before I beat you up." I lifted my sweater over my shoulders making sure to cover my chest. I ran my fingers over my tattoo. Such beauty. It was a dandelion that spread out like it was being blow away and four black birds flew away up my shoulder blades getting bigger. "It's showing how free a dandelion is in the wind. Like a bird. Free to express its true beauty without judgement or denial." I smiled. I pushed my sweater back over my shoulders and sat down.  

"Then this one is the sisterhood mark Hunter wanted. She has the one to match." I pulled my sock off my right foot showing the thick black heart on the corner. Hunter showed the same. We smiled together. Sisters forever.  

"I think the one on your back is beautiful. Great idea behind it." Alex smiled.  

"I didn't know you had any tattoos actually." Jake replied bluntly. 

"Really? Am I that good at hiding them or do you guys not pay attention?" I said in awe. I honestly couldn't believe they hadn't seen them. 

"Just never pegged you as the type to get tattoos." Jake said in response.  

"Well bet none of you, including Andy, would have guessed this." I stood up and lifted the front of my sweater to show them the piercing on my left hip. It was just a normal rod like one with black balls at each end. I laughed as their jaws dropped in awe.  

"That is hot. I don't care what you say." Jack looked at it then walked towards me. "Can I touch it?" Jack asked politely.  

"Yea sure. Be my guest." I replied.  

"Did it hurt?" He asked lightly running his finger over it.  

"At first it did. But after a week I was fine." I smiled and returned to my seat at the window, covering my hip once more. I looked outside and sighed. I was kind of down today. I have no clue why I just really felt lonely and depressed.  

"Hey isn't your birthday in like two weeks?" Vic asked.  

"Um yea why?" I responded slowly.  

"You're going to have the best time ever. I promise." He winked at me. I wonder what they'd thought up. This should be interesting.

______________________________

I'd like to just say this. The tattoos in this scene are some of what I want on myself. The one with Andy's name and birthday on her wrist is actually gonna be one of mine. I'm going to get my older sisters full name and birthday on my right one and on the left I am getting the love thing. I also want the black heart because yes me and hunter want to match. Don't judge c; but anyway don't forget to drop meh some comments, vote, and follow me. Oh and I apologize if it's a short chapter. I've been at the hospital half the day with my aunt. She has cancer and isn't doing very good. Thanks ~ Taylor <3
