A boy named Blaze

Chapter 20

Tara

I opened my eyes and smiled in contentment. "Home sweet home," I mumbled. I looked around and saw my room and felt happy. I wasn't in some random persons basement almost getting raped, I am home. I pulled the covers away from my body and almost danced towards the shower. Sure, I was a little sore, my wrist and arms hurt from the rope and I was a little sore from the fight before but nothing awfully painful. I jumped in the shower and let the warm water run down my body and I sighed in pleasure.

Last night after Blaze left I went inside to see my worried mother. I have passed out somewhere because I drank to much or was in the hospital from a gang attacking me or went to a friends house because it was closer and I was waisted but I don't usually miss a whole day. If I'm not coming home at least I call her as soon as I could, yet I didn't have my cell phone, not that I could use it with my hands tied to the chair anyways.

When I got home she scolded me for not calling and gave me a big hug saying how worried she was. I told her that I went to a party last night and crashed at a friends house and just woke up now because I went back to her house at six AM. She believed it like I knew she would and I smiled and told her I wanted a shower. She lectured me some more but let me go have a shower and after I fell asleep.

Now I had to go to school and pretend like nothing happened. I'm sticking to my got drunk story, I'm just gonna say I bunked in with my old friend Kathy. Speaking of Kathy, I haven't talked to her or anything in forever. I feel bad but I can't call her or text her because those now dead bastards have my phone. I gabbed some sweat pants and a cute tank-top. I didn't really care how I looked today, considering I just wanna lie in bed, and I also didn't feel like I needed to impress anyone.

I threw on some makeup but only so I didn't look totally weird. I looked at myself in the mirror, I didn't look that bad I guess. I couldn't go totally ugly today or everyone would know that something was seriously wrong.  I didn't do anything with my hair, I just brushed and blow dried it. I gabbed my bag and headed downstairs. My mom did a double take and looked at my sweats weird but dismissed it, I used to wear sweats all the time.

I grabbed some bread and slipped it into the toaster and waited, hoping for it to hurry up. I haven't eaten since yesterday since the rapists didn't really feed me. The toast popped up and I grabbed it, buttering it, and scarfing it down. My mom watched me and after I was done I gave her a weak smile. "You look hungry," she said, sounding amused. I scowled at her, "yeah I guess."

I went into the fridge and grabbed an apple and then slipped on my flats. "I'm going to school, bye," I said and grabbed my keys. Jumping into my car I looked at myself again, hoping I looked okay. I guess I didn't change that much. I wondered if I should change into some hot jeans but I decided to keep the sweats and started the car, turning on the radio.

Soon I pulled into school and parked in a empty parking spot. I pulled my bag over my shoulder and headed towards the boring looking building. As soon as I walked in I spotted my friends. I smiled and headed over towards them. "Hey babe," Matthew said and relief filled his face. I gave him a confused look and kissed him, "hey yourself." Ailyn pushed in between us and gave me a big bear hug like she thought if she let go I would disappear. "Where the fuck were you yesterday," she almost yelled.

I laughed and told them my lame excuse about getting drunk. "Why didn't you invite us to the party," Ashton joked, coming over to give me a hug. I laughed and smiled at him. "Only special people allowed," I joked. He scowled and looked confused, "then why did they invite you," I shot him playful daggers and laughed. It was kinda cute that they were all so worried about me.

Then Angelia came over, looking like she always does, like the snotty cheerleader she is. "Oh, your back," she said, sounding bitter. "Yeah, miss me," I said in a challenging voice. "Of course," she said with a small fake smile. Matthew looked at both of us with confusion, probably wondering why we were fighting, and  I just gave him a small smile.

That's when Blaze walked by, I froze and glanced over, not sure where we stand. I mean he kissed me, you cant just let that go, yet I'm dating Matthew and well I don't know what I feel about him. He looked over and our eyes met. I felt my heart speed up and I felt nervous, he was heading our way. Shit, Tara do something, I yelled at myself. I took a big breath and and tried to calm my heart as he headed over towards us.

Our eyes were still glued to each other but I knew I couldn't do this, someone would notice. I gave a small smile and I saw him relax a little and smile back, causing me to relax. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and made my eyes leave Blaze's and look back at my friends. They were still talking but Angelia was looking at me with an evil glint in her eyes.

I know that she saw me look at him. Yet she doesn't know what happened, I know what she guesses thought. I have a feeling that Matthew is going to hear I fucked Blaze. I shot her an evil glare and I swear if looks could kill she would be dead. She looked away a little but sadly didn't flinch back, now that she has black mail.
