"Lunch"
January 14,2015

I'm at school in my science class with Daniel and Christopher. I felt like I was falling apart, but I just kept a smile on my face anyways. My mom was now at the house, and Dawn& my aunt were at the house to keep her company. Life was going ok, and I actually got along with the three girls at lunch.

1 hour laterr... (SpongeBob Voice)

I was now getting lunch from the cafeteria since my mom couldn't make them anymore. I made my sister lunch everyday when my mom and my aunt were sleeping, and my dad was gone in the morning. As I saw the girls, i smiled back when they smiled at me, but then I saw Daniel. As I got to the girls table, I told them I'd sit with them tomorrow. And Bekka made a mean face, but I didn't care. Daniel was on his phone, but when I say next to him. He looked up surprisingly and smiled. As one of Bekka's friends looked at us, she whispered something into Bekka's ear and she didn't look so happy after that. I then looked away and smiled back at Daniel saying

Me- "Hey."
Daniel- "So how's your mom."
(He than grabbed my hand)
Me- "My mom. It's been hard, with my family."
Daniel- "I...I'm sorry. Look, if you need me. I'm open."
Me- "Than-"
(Bekka sat down at our table with her "minions")
Bekka- "Are you two a couple?"
Me- "Um, I Don't-"
(Daniel interrupted me)
Daniel- "Yes. Is that a problem Bekka?"

I thought in my mind "they must've dated."

Bekka- "Well, um I thought Captains on the football& Cheer team were supposed to date. Not a Captain and a...a girl that's "popular" "
(Bekka said rolling her eyes)

Daniel- "I'm not getting back together with you Bekka. I love Audrey."
Bekka- "I'll see you in gym Audrey."
Me- "Bye guys"

After a few minutes Daniel and I talked and when the bell rang he threw away my lunch for me and I have him a hug as he said "Good Luck With Bekka. If she hurts you.. I'll tackle her" I laughed and walked away. I then blew out a deep breath and put off my happy face as I saw my locket. As I got to gym, I put my stuff in the gym teachers office and waved to Christopher seeing me. After a few minutes, I got dressed out and started running on the track. Their was actually a nice breeze today and it made me feel better getting some fresh air. Bekka and her "minions" then ran up to me and we started talking

Me- "Hey Gu-"
Bekka- "Let's get together at my place on Friday."
Minions- "Yeah" "Yeah!"
Me- "Oh, um I'm not sure if I can."
Bekka- "But why? You have time to play dolls with ur mom, but not us?"

(I started crying and putting my hands over my face. Cause I couldn't hold it in anymore)

Me- "Don't bring up my mother."
Bekka- "I'm sorry. But can you or can you not meet up with us on Friday."
Me- "Um. Yeah I'll try."
Bekka- "Ok I'll text you my address"
Me- "but how did yo-"
Bekka- "I just know people numbers."
Me- "Oh..Ok then."

I then ran off whipping my tears, why would God do this do my mom. She's such a good person. I just tried keeping everything off my mind by playing soccer with my friends on the soccer team in my gym. They were actually really nice and accepted me, like everyone did. I wondered why I became so popular at this school. Maybe it was just meant to be.

I'm at home and it's 2:00 noon and I'm at Daniels in his room. We talked about Bekka for a long time and he said how dating her was a huge mistake. I agreed cause she sounds awful, but I don't think of people like that until they hurt me. We then sat down on his couch and I leaned on his shoulder with his arm around me. We were watching the movie, Star Wars and I was so tired that I literally fell asleep in his arms. "Was that a good thing?" I thought. I woke up to yelling, but now coming from Daniel. As I opened my eyes it was Daniels dad, and he looked drunk. As I got up, I didn't know what to do, so I just grabbed my jacket and asked if Daniel wanted me to go. He said that it would be a good thing to do, and Daniel and I went downstairs. As we got to the door I hugged Daniel and he kissed my head saying "remember if you need me" I nodded my head and told him to be careful with his dad.

A few minutes later.. (SpongeBob Voice)

I walk through the door taking off my grey converse seeing my mom on the couch. I sat next to her and asked how she was doing. She look ok, but pale. I was so scared about her dying, and she was too. My dad was making lunch/dinner for the family and Dawn was asleep with my aunt. I just put my arm about my mom and held her hand so she knew I was their for her. Cause she'd always be their for me. And now I'm going to Bekka's house😒. Great
