Save Me from Myself

Chapter 40

Addison's POV
"Addison. Wake up. Holy shit how can you sleep through this?? I've literally been poking you for 10 minutes." ...I like sleep, Jesus...

"ADDISON." Sophie screamed right in my ear.

"UGHHH go fuck yourself you bitch...." I grumbled sleepily.

"Well someone isn't very nice in the morning... Get up, douchebag, and hurry!" She answered.

I groaned, got up, and glared at her. "This better be good... I want to go back to sleep..

"SHUSH." She whispered. She grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the so called 'Nurses office'. I mean, you can't call it a nurse's office if there's no Nurse... The older kids take care of anyone that gets hurt, that's the closest we have to a nurse.

She pulled me into a room full of sleeping babies, and sat down on the floor. "Sit."

I'm not a fucking dog Sophie... but I sat down anyway.

"What is it??" I asked, trying to not wake up the infants.

She sighed, "So I heard some stuff..." Here we go. Drama. My favorite. "Fred the dick was talking to lobby lady and he's gonna try to get you arrested."

"Wait wait wait... Fred the dick??? That's what everyone calls him?? Oh my god that's beautiful... and how can he get me arrested, he started the fight!" I answered, still giggling a little. C'mon... Fred the dick... its perfect.

"True. I just thought that I should tell you. " she said, sighing and shaking her head.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's just... You're the only person here that I can actually talk to, but you're a dumbass that's gonna get yourself killed. It sucks for me, because I kinda want you to stay." She said, holding her arms.

This was definitely a new side of Sophie. She was so vulnerable and nervous.

"Why are you being like this?" I asked. I wasn't used to her being so open, its weird.

"Its night. You're the only one looking at me. I don't have to act tough anymore." She mumbled.

"Wait, why do you act tough during the day in the first place?" I was extremely curious. She was acting so different.

"For the same reason you do. If i show who i really am, people will bully me and try to walk all over me. If i act tough, people keep their distance. That's the way i like it. Less people in my life, less pain." She answered, sleepily.

We were silent for a moment, then i asked, "Hey Sophie? Why are you here?"

She sighed, "Well, my mom walked out on me and my dad when i was 7, which sucked ass, but I'm over it now. Then, when i was 11 my dad and i got into an awful car accident. I survived. He didn't. All my relatives aren't in very good shape financially, so no one could take me. Here i am, 4 years later. "

I nodded, "I'm sorry about your dad."

She got a little teary eyed. "Its okay.. but what about you. Why are you here?"

"Its kind of complicated. My dad died of a car accident too when i was 2 because of a stupid drunk driver. My mom basically went crazy and she started beating me and my sister Cali, and after a while Cali attempted suicide. My mom told me that she was dead, but really she was just at a mental hospital for 2 years. A week ago she came to see me, and i learned that she was still alive, thank god. Sadly, my mother had to ruin the moment like she does everything else, and she punched me and some lady that was with my sister. Then, her and my sister got into a huge fight and the Police took my mom away and my sister went back to the asylum. All my family members are psychotic so the authorities thought i would be better off here." I told her, trying to leave out all the gory details.

She smiled a little, "Dude. Your life is literally a bad soap opera."
