"What do all of your tattoo's say?" Jasmine asks.
"Well i have 'Stay Strong' on my wrists, A cross on my hand, A pair of lips on my arm, The word 'Faith' on my arm, 'Rock and Roll' on one finger, 'Peace' on another finger, 'You make me beautiful' on my rib cage, a feather behind my ear, and 'Let go' and one foot and 'Let God' on another." I answer.
"My goodness! Thats alot of tattoos!" Jasmine exclaims shocked.
"I know but i love them!" I say. Just then the bell rings and we head out of class. The rest of the day goes by smoothly and soon its time to go home. I walk out of the school and go to my car. I unlock it and get in. I go to start the car up but it wont start. I try again and again and again and get the same response every time. I finally give up and grab my stuff and deicded to walk home. Its about an hour walk home but its my only way. As soon as i get my stuff ready and get out of my car it starts raining. I throw my stuff back in my car and walk home without my backpack. After about 2 minutes of walking, I am completely drenched. I hear a car horn from behind me and i turn around. I see Selena getting out of her car running towards me.
"Why are you walking?" she asks.
"My car wont start." I tell her.
"Well get in mine and i'll take you home." She says.
"No! No, I'm soaked." I make up an excuse so she wont find out where i live.
"I dont care! Get in the car your gonna get sick." She yells. I groan and get in the car.
"Where do you live?" She asks.
"Just drop my off at that Diner a couple blocks over and i'll walk the rest of the way." I told her.
"No. I'm not letting you walk home while it's raining." She says.
"Please Selena?" I ask.
"No." She says sternly.
"Why?" I whine.
"Because you will get sick! Now tell me where you live!" She insists.
"I cant." I whisper.
"Why?" She asks.
"Because its embarrassing!" I tell her.
"I wont judge you, Demi. I promise." She says. I sigh and start to play with my fingers.
"I live in the apartment buildings by the diner." I mumble. I feel tears come to my eyes as I think about where I live. Eventually the slip out and tears are streaming down my face.
"Hey. It's okay. Dont cry. There's nothing to be ashamed of." She says reassuringly. I nodd my head and she starts driving to my apartment. She pulls up and I start sobbing just looking at it. She pulls me into her and I grab on to her shirt shaking and almost screaming through my tears. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asks. I shake my head no and she sighs. "Okay, but i'll give you my cell phone number so you can call or text if you do ever want to talk." She tells me.
"How come your talking to me now and wanting to be my friend now, but earlier you didnt want to?" I ask.
"We can be friends outside of school. Just not in school. Stay away from me during school please." She says.
"But, Why?" I ask.
"Just do it. It's for your own good. I gotta go home. I'll see you tomorrow." She says. I get out of her car and walk into my own house, I let tears stream down my face at what i see.
