Love... Or something like that (JB love story) ON HOLD

Chapter 2

Vanessa's POV

I woke up to the sun shining in my face and immediately remembering it's monday. I took a shower and blow dried my hair. I curled it and went to pick out an outfit. I picked out a simple Aero long sleeved too to cover my scars and jeans. I slipped that on and a pair of purple Vans. I fixed my hair and make-up a little bit then headed out.

When i went into the living room my mom wasn't there. i didn't suspect her to be there but i still had hope.

When i got to my school i went straight to my locker and was approached by Michelle.

"Where is my work?!" She spat

"Let me get it!" I shouted to her. "Here" i said to her

"Good" she snatched it from my hands and punched me right where my mom had last night. I bent over in pain holding my stomach. A few tears escaped my eyes and ran down my cheeks messing up my make up.

I grabbed my make up bag and went to the bathroom to fix my make up. When i was done i just went back to my locker and grabbed all my books and returned them to the library since tomorrow is the last day of school. On my way back to my locker to grab my final stuff and through it into my book bag. Just then Ashley cam up to me.

"Omg i can't believe it's here!" She jumped up and down her curly blonde locks going everywhere.

"Calm down, calm down!"

I told her.

"Sorry im just so excited tomorrow is tge last day and we are graduating!!!"

"I know it's so awesome!" I said.

Ashley and i have the same first period so we always walk together.

Once me got there Mrs.Thompsan was just letting everyone in. YES!! We are usually late like everyday. Wr hurried in and sat at the same back desk's we always sit at.

********************

The rest off the day went by pretty quick due to the fact that all we really did was talk because all that our teachers were doing was putting final grades in.

When I got home my mother was sleeping on the couch so I sneaked as quietly as I could. I made it into my room without her noticing which is good. I just sat there thinking. what will happen to me after graduation? My mom has always told me she would kick me out. Will she? Tomorrow is supposed to be the best day of my life. What if it turns out to be the worst?

By the time I was done processing all my thoughts. I was exhausted. I didn't even bother showering, getting changed, or even checking the time. I just drifted off to sleep.

********

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!"

My alarm went off. I woke up wincing at the bright sun shining through my blinds.

This is the day. Today is the day i finally get to graduate from high school. The day i am finally free. the day everything will change.

I got out of bed and head to my closet. i get out the dress i had in mind earlier. It's a teal, strapless dress that stops a little above the knee. it has sequence all along the top part.

I had waken up earlier so i had time to shower and blow dry my hair. I put it into loose curls with my wand. I chose to just cover the my scars with make-up today. I finally slipped on my dress and grabbed my cap and gown and went into the living room.

My mother was sleeping. What's new? i had a feeling that she wouldn't have remembered or cared but i still had that tiny bit of hope.

I went outside and downstairs to see Ashley's car down in the parking lot with her in it motioning for me to get in. I got in the car to "All that matters" by Justin Bieber booming in the car and Ashley singing along.

"ASHLEY!" i just about screemed. "Turn that shit down. I think my ears are bleeding!" I complained.

"But....." she held out.

"But nothing! Turn it down!"

"Fine, fine" she finally gave in and turned it down.

"Soo.... todays' the day. The day that all the freedom is given to us." She says.

"Yup...." I held out.

The rest of the ride was pretty silent besides the faint sound of the radio in the background.

When we git there it was very crowded. But as soon as she showed her student I.D we got right into the student parking. It was easy to park. We got out and she locked the doors. We walked to the student entrance and the asked for our I.D's again. We went in and did as directed.

********

"Vanessa Williams" they called as i walked up the stage and grabbed my diploma, shook the principals hand, and turned my tassel from left to right as the sign of graduating.

I stepped off and they called Ashley a few people later. We all sat back down in our chairs and when it was all done everyone clapped and cheered.

*********

When we stepped outside Ashley's mom was set on taking millions of pictures of us. when she was finally done James Blake, the school hottie came out and walked up to us.

"Hey Ladies!" he says flirtatiously with a nice, beautiful smile.

"U-uhhh.... hi" Ashley says. She is always shy and jittery in front of guys.

"Whats up?" i quickly said to get Ashley out of the embarrassment spot light.

"I'm having this graduation party later at 8:45 and thought maybe you guys would like to come." He asks us.

"Yeah, of course. we're not doin' nothin'." I reply.

"See you then!" he waves and gives a cheeky grin. Ashley and I wave in unison.

Once he was finally out of sight Ashley shrieked.

"Ahhh did u see that? JAMES THE BLAKE JUST CAME AND ASKED US TO A PARTY!!!!!"

"Shhhhhhh" I hushed her putting my hand to her face.

"Of course I saw it. I was the one doing the talking because you cant keep a clear mind when you talk to guys." I said in a duh sorta' tone.

"I know, i know. I'm sooooo stupid." she said looking down her head in her hands.

"No your not. Sometimes. But not always." I say in a sarcastic tone.

"Shut up!" she tells me hitting my arm.

"I was just kidding. Jeez!" we both burst out laughing.

Later that night i didn't have to do much to get ready since i wasn't changing mu outfit from earlier.

At 8:30 on the dot Ashley's car beeps outside and i head out into her car.

"Le' go!" she says as she burst some of my favorite Selena Gomez songs.

"Now this is what I'm talking about!" i say as i sing a long to every single lyric the way to James's house.

We finally got there and took a deep breath.......
