ASTRID.
I was in the shower, rinsing my hair listening to my music blare through the speakers in my room. I was done within 15 minutes and then wrapped a towel around my body, and walked out to my closet, and then got my clothes.
I picked out dark skinny jeans, high-heel ankle boot shoes, a leather bag, a grey top, and a leather jacket, and a beanie because it was cold outside. I was done dressing and then went downstairs. When I was done with packing my bag, I went to my car.
I got in and started driving to school, and within 5 minutes I was there. It was a short way but too cold to walk. I parked and saw Sarah, but there was no sign of Jane. Maybe she was inside?
I walked over to Sarah, and she looked just as cold as I was. When I got to her, she gave me a hug, and then pulled her sweater tighter around her.
"Hey, where is Jane?" I ask and she takes a minute before answering.
"She got the cold, she- uhh- she's staying home" She says, but I can tell the lie in her voice.
"Where is she really Sarah?" I ask a bit more seriously.
"She at home, I'm not lying. But I am lying about the cold..." She trails off, and I urge her on.
"You know that guy she really likes? Yeah well he kind of started to flirt with her, and you know of course she fell for it, and then she started liking him even more, and then he kind of maybe, played her with queen bitch, and now she's heartbroken, and she's at home, not wanting to see anyone, and eating tubs of ice cream" She rants, but I got every word.
I was going to say something but the bell rang, so I said goodbye, and then went to my locker. I got there and sent Jane a text, saying that if she needs me to call me, doesn't matter where I am, I would answer. If my friends needed me I would never hesitate to do what it takes to help them.
The first few periods flew fast, and the 4th period before lunch was about to begin, so I took my seat.
Just as the whole class was here, and the teacher started to greet and started the lesson my phone rang, and I didn't hesitate to answer.
The teacher looked at me like I was mad, and told me to put it away, but I shushed him, by putting my hand in the air. His eyes widened but I didn't care, my friend needed me.
I heard sniffles, and Jane asking me to come over, so I packed my bag, and stood up.
"Don't worry girl, I'll be over soon with ice cream, and cookies" I say and hung up. The teacher looked at me like I was going mad, and I, myself, thought so too. Normally I wouldn't have the balls to do this, but ever since I started talking to Kai again I did....Huh? I was going to have to look into that.
I looked up at the teacher and saw him looking at me like I grew too heads. I knew that he wouldn't let me go so I pulled the trick I knew would work.
"Sir, you have to let me go. See Jane is home, feeling really depressed, because her cat died, you see. Plus she's on her period, and I'm afraid she is very emotional, and if you don't let me go check on her, I'm afraid she might hurt herself and others" I say, and he blushes at my choice of saying that she is having that time of month, witch by the way is a lie.
"Uhh...yeah just get the homework, and Uhhh keep safe..." He says, and looks away.
"Thank you sir" I say grinning like mad, and walked out the class. I was walking down the hallway when I felt someone's stare on me, but when I turned I saw nothing.
I kept walking, and got in my car and drove to the store. I walked in and got 4 tubs of ice cream, 3 jumbo packs of Oreos, and a mini tub of peanut butter. I got some Dr. Pepper, and then went to pay. I was done and got in my car again. I drove to Jane's house, worrying about her.
Jane hardly ever feels sad, she was always our little ball of life. If she cried it was about something that really mattered to her, like her family or friends. But she never cried about a guy. Never. Ever. So this must be the special guy then.
I got to the porch and knocked on the door, and when no one answered I walked in. This girl never learned to close a door.
"Someone can rob you, you know. You should lock the door, don't want strangers walking in all the time" I say, and see her on the couch, tissues all over, empty ice cream tubs on the floor, and romance movies playing. Her hair was a nest for homeless birds, and her eyes were red, and it looked like she has been smoking pot for over 2 days.
"Your not a stranger" She argues, and I hear her voice come out husky and sore.
"Well, then lets get started shall we" I say, and sat down with the bag full of yummy goods.
"Oh, by the way, if anyone asks, your cat died, your depressed, your on your period, and I saved you from doing something stupid" I say, and she looks at me like I have just eaten her chocolate cookie. She loves those.
"What are you talking about?" She asks me and I told her about how I got out of class.
She then finally cracked a smile. I felt good knowing that I could make her feel better. I loved my friends so much that I just wanted them to b happy all the time, even if it costs me my unhappiness. But they would never let that happen so I felt sort of relieved. I didn't like being sad, because I did that a lot when I was in foster care.
"Shall we begin my dear friend?" I ask Jane, and started a new movie. We watched San Andreas, and ate our ice cream and cookies like our lives depended on it.
~3 HOURS LATER~
"That.....was beautiful....." I cried, and Jane nodded her head.
After San Andreas finished, we watched The Notebook again, and then we watched The Vow. We were crying our eyes out, and all you saw was tissues, and cookie wrappers all over the place.
"Oh, I should get going home" I say, and saw that it was all ready 5pm.
"Ok. Thanks for being there for me, all the time" She says, and gives me a hug after we stood up.
"You know I would never mind" I say, and then looked at her. "You shouldn't let him hurt you like this. Tomorrow, come to my house before school, and bring your closet" I say and she laughs.
"Ok. See you then" She says, and I walked to my car.
I got in and drove home. Once I got out of my car, I walked to my door, opened it up, walked inside, and flopped down on the couch.
I started crying then.
While I was at Jane's I kept thinking of Kai. I didn't see him today, but I know that I wanted to. He was messing with my mind, and I wanted it to stop. I lied him a lot and to have him, playing with me like I am a toy, makes me feel useless, and like shit. I didn't want to tell him how I feel, cause I was scared at how me might react. I was scared of being rejected.
He always knew how to make me feel special one moment and the next, he made me feel so tiny, and worthless. He just knew how to make my whole world flip, and leave me hanging. I hated it. I hated him.
All the anger started to build up in me, and I limped over to the kitchen.
My moon boot was off, but the leg was still sensitive, and me being me, I hit it against the door, so its sore now.
I got to the kitchen, and opened the fridge. There was nothing to eat. Only a granola bar, and some water bottles. I needed to do some groceries tomorrow after school.
I took the granola bar, and a water, and went to my room, got undressed, got in bed ate the bar, drank some water, and cried myself to sleep.
Pathetic...I thought and drifted off to sleep.
