I feel safe with only two people that are in my life they are Sam, and Joe. We made it to the library and all of Joe’s friends were there. He is in the same group of friends as my brother so they know all know me. They are all really cool people and have the same kind interests as me. I was gonna sit in my normal seat when Joe grabbed my hand and said to me “No. We need to talk. Let’s go somewhere private.” And to the group, “Sorry guys Lilly needs to talk to me. I’ll see you in gym. Let’s go Lilly.” And he held my hand and guided me over to the chairs that were placed behind some of the bookshelves. When we both sat down we were both a little more comfortable, I waited til he got all situated and was ready to listen to me.
“You can begin whenever you want to Lilly I am here for you no matter what.”
I took a deep breath “When I came back down from putting the twins asleep my mom is waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs and when I get to the floor she comes up close to my face and starts yelling that I did something wrong and that I’m worthless. And I was just taking it in not paying her any attention. Until she started calling me curse words and then I yell back at her saying that she needs to fuck off and leave me alone. Right then she was gonna hit but Sam came through the door and she put her hand down and left the room. I ran to Sam, saying that I’m so glad to see him and I told what happened. And he just took me into his arms and hugged me close and moved me to the bottom step and rocked me til I fell asleep.” I was crying and sitting close to Joe.
“Aww Lilly you are not worthless. And I’m so sorry that you have her as a mother. I’m here for you and I will always be. No matter what time it is call me. I hate that you have to deal with this.” He was holding me close and just let me cried.
“I know baby. . . I know” that’s all I could get out.
For the rest of the period I just sat there in his arms and talked to him more about the fight and how I hate pretending that everything is right between us in front of the twins because I don’t want them to worry.
As the bell rang Joe walked me to my class and made sure that I was okay, I assured him that I was. Then he went to his next class. I was able to focus a little bit more now. I was talking with some of my friends and joking around about random things. The news about Joe and I spread like wild fire. I was happy that everybody knew it made me feel special. I just kept thinking that I had three more classes then I had an hour with Joe for lunch. The class ended, Sara and I walked to our fourth period history class and as we walked through the halls all the juniors were high fiving me and saying congrats.
“Wow Lilly you’re like the queen of the school! I could get used to this” Sara laughed and nudged me.
“Oh shut up!’
“What?! It’s not like you don’t hate it. Knowing you Lills you are LOVING this!”
“I don’t hate it I never said that I did . . . but I’m used to it so it’s nothing new”
We just laughed and made our way to history, we were late like always. Sara and I don’t like our history teacher or the class so we don’t care about getting there on time. But I tried to do my best on the tests and projects, unlike Sara. My grade point average for the class is eighty-nine. I made a point to get good notes from the smartest person in class and study really hard. I try and help Sara but she doesn’t care that much about this class. In other classes she is a really good student.
“Lilly and Sara you both are late yet again. What happened this time that made you late?” Mrs. Perry asked, crossing her arms.
“Nothing we were just coming from the nurse’s office.” Sara said.
“Okay. You girls go sit in your seats. We are having a class discussion.”
The class went by pretty quickly. I wasn’t really paying attention to what Mrs. Perry was talking about. People was texting me asking me bout Joe and I. I told my friends the story over and over again, even some juniors that I didn’t really know were texting me and asking me to hang out with them at lunch, or hang out.
“Later Sara I’ll see you chem.” I said to Sara giving her a hug and a kiss on her cheek.
“Okay Lills. Have a bueno time in el Spanish.” She was laughing as she was walking to her next class.
I was walking minding my own business when someone tugged on my arm and pulled me aside. I was not scared because only person sends electric shocks threw my body. “Joe what are you doing?” I asked smiling so big. I miss his gorges eyes and his cute nose, let’s face it I miss him.
“What? I just wanted to see you before I go to my next class . . . but I could let you go if you don’t want to see me.” he started to walk away slowly.
“NO! I want to see you.” I told him as I pulled for his hand and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Joe I fall more and more in love with you every time I see you. I hope you know that.” I kissed him softly on the lips.
“Mmmm I do know that babygirl. I hope you know that I fall more and more into love whenever I see you too.” He also kissed me on the lips softly.
RING!! RING!!
“Ugh I hate the sound of those bells.” I whispered to Joe. “I will see you at lunch right baby boo?” I have to admit that I love when couples have cute nicknames for each other and I love the ones that Joe and I have for each other.
“Yes babygirl. I will meet you in front of the chem. lab. I love you boo.” He hugged me and walked to his class. I was right outside my Spanish class so I got in right before the second bell rang.
Spanish is my favorite class for one reason and that’s because the teacher is super fun and makes learning so fun. Senorita Gomez has such a great personality and is so friendly towards the students. She was my favorite teacher in school. Spanish went by quickly, all period Senorita Gomez was talking about her upcoming wedding. She showed us pictures of her wedding dress and it is so gorgeous. I wish I was invited to her wedding just to see her in her dress. When the bell rang I walked up to her and said “Thank you for making Spanish so much fun this year. I really am going to miss you over the summer; I hope your wedding goes well.” I hugged her and her whisper a thank you and I’m going to miss you too.
I walked into the hall and made my way to the left quad to the chem. lab. Mr. Bush was mainly talking about the year and how much fun he had with us and the many experiments that went wrong. We were all laughing and remembering the fun year we had. I was talking to some of the girls about the party tonight. They asked me what I was wearing; I told em that I had I no idea. There was plenty of time from the last bell to when the party to start for em to copy my outfit.
The bell finally rang and I was walking out with some of my class mates and when we got out of the door I saw him. He was talking to some of his football friends; he looked absolutely gorgeous his hair falling perfectly in front of his eyes, his eyes shining as he smiles, his beautiful full lips forming a perfect smile showing his white teeth. I could stay here watching him forever, but I walked up to him and hugged him.
“Hey Lills.” Joe said and kissed me on my cheek.
“Hey Joe, Paul, Jason.” I hugged Joe harder. “I don’t know about you guys but I’m starving” I took Joe’s hand and intertwined our fingers and headed for the cafeteria. Joe and I went to get our lunch in silence. When we got to the cashier he paid for my lunch. When we got to the table that’s when it all went mad. The whole table was asking Joe and I questions. We tried to answer them all but it was kind of hard.
“Come on guys! Enough leave my lil sis alone.” Sam said firmly. After that they went quiet and they moved on to the details for the party.
