Ch2

"Dad?" I ask with a blank expression .

Uncle Merle has always told me not to cry or that would make me weak .

But I see dad crying . Only a few tears though it's  the most I've ever seen I smile and run into his arms feeling his touch again makes more than a couple tears to come out of my eyes.

---

When me and my dad reconnect I kinda just wander around the prison because jewels avoids every minute with me for Carl .

I mean I kept her alive the least she could do is keep me company.

I sit alone at on the concrete facing the crosses of graves .

I don't know most of these people but they sound trust worthy.

I hear footsteps and I jump hoping it's jewels .

But it's carl.

" what do you want sheriff boy?" I ask him .

" company." He mutters crouching down to sit next to me .

I scoot over so he's sitting arms length away .

" so tell me about your self Casey right?" He asks .

" did you come here for company or did jewels try to hook you up with me?" I spit out even though it only meant to be a thought.

" yes , I'm sorry ." He mutters.

" why are you sorry she's the one getting you to become best-friends with me ." I mumble .

" maybe it won't be that bad ." He tells me .
I smile a bit at what he says. Can't lie he is cute, but I would never date my best friends brother.
"Maybe it won't." I think to myself.

"Well are you gonna tell me about yourself?" Carl asks with a laugh.

"Fine, well where do I start. I had a terrible life at school. I was bullied. People told me to kill myself. They called me fat and all those other things. Said I was ever gonna be who I wanted. Told me make up couldn't fix me, told me that dirt was better than I was." Thinking about all that the bullies had told me brought tears to my eyes.
"I'm so sorry." Carl mutters. He opens his arms and pulls me close.I dry my tears smelling his scent .

Right now I want to kiss him but I've only known him for what like 4 hours ?

Before I can do anything he pulls me away and presses his lips against mine getting my lips wet .

My first kiss.

I pull away before I get caught up in the moment and run off so I don't have to encounter Carl any more today."Casey wait!" He shouts for me. I continued to run.

"They were right, you're worthless!" I thought to myself, I ran to the cell that I shared with Jewels. I plopped onto my bunk, crying into the pillow.
"What's wrong?" Jewels asks walking into the cell.
"Nothing." I say weakly.
"Is it Carl?" She asks.
"No, well not completely." I whisper.
"Tell me." She sighs.
"He kissed me, but I got scared and ran away." I cry again.
"Why? He's a good guy I promise. Just go find him again, he'll be worth it. He's no reason to be scared. Be strong." She smiles at me.

I will try.
