I Need You

one

The feelings is too much. It's too hard to hide. I know I needed to let it out.

I've just seen a face by The Beatles is actually playing somewhere from the neighborhood. It's like a real morning here. The sun is rising up a bit. But I just sit in a corner now. I can see this one guy just got beat up. He is sitting in front of me. I can't still speak because of what I just witness last night. It was him fighting other guys in this very room. I tried to remember what my last memory is. And it's when I got carried by another guy here, and they are actually about to do bad things to me. Thankfully this guy saved me.

"Are you okay?" He ask then I notice his british accent. But then I just look at him with worry. He is just beaten up by them because of me.

"I should be the one asking that." I ask him and he smile. It's so strange. He was beat up and he's there smiling.

"Then ask me." He said with a playful smile in his face.

"Okay. So how are you?" I ask

"I'm okay. These scars are nothing don't worry." He said and I just nod. I'm an awkward person. I hate it.

"So what's your name?" He ask

"I'm Vanessa. You?" He scoot a little bit closer to me. Because he thinks we gonna have a chat.

"Oh hi Vanessa. I'm Chris." He said and I just smile at him.

"You are not that kind of person who talks a lot yeah?" He asks me but all I can is smile and nod

"Well you are beautiful enough to make me notice you and save you from those maniacs." He jokingly said

"Well then thank you sir." I said in a british accent. And that lights up his face.

"Oh! Now you're mocking me. Now we're talking." He tried to say it in American accent and I just laugh.

"Now you are laughing at my attempt." Now his British accent goes thicker. So I laugh a little more.

"Well then, I am glad to make you laugh." He said and I just look at him in the eyes.

"Chris. Thank you so much. I don't know how to say how thankful I am, I am forever in debt." I said and he smile at me.

"Yes it's nothing. Just don't mock me in my accent haha." And smile. Then he took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. He offered one for me and I gladly accept it. Yes I smoke.

"You're the only girl I know who smoke in our school." He said and I am a little surprise that he is from our school.

"You are from our school?" I ask and he nod like it's a normal thing.

"How come I've never seen you before?" I ask

"You just don't observe people that much." He said and he is there giving a light for my cigar. So I put my cigar there and start smoking. We both drag in the cigar in the same time. Feels like every worries in my body just go with the smoke as I exhale it outside of me.

"You look beautiful and amazing." He said and I just punch him playfully. He scoot next to me and I put my head into his shoulders.

"I can't help it. I wanted to put my shoulder in your head." I said and he laugh

"Your shoulder on my head?" He said and I look at him strangely.

"You are still wasted." He laugh and I just put my head back on his shoulder and drag on my cigar again. Until I heard a girl's voice. So I look at her. She is in a red dress and she drag me away from Chris. I just wave bye to him and smile at me. She drag me to a car and bring me in. Laid me down at the back of the driver's seat.

The girl gently slaps my face.

"Hey hey hey! Vanessa! Wake up!" Until my vision is clear. And I just smile there like a retarded one.

"Oh Chloe. Finally you are here." I said like I just found my mommy. She laughs and leave me there. She then sit on the driver's seat. And drive wherever we have to be in right now.

- three days ago -

"Vanessa! Oh I forgot to ask you about something." She said as we sat on a coffe shop drinking some fucking obviously coffee.

"Shoot what is it?" I said and she just raise her eyebrow on me.

"Well at Lea's party. The time I found you. You were there putting your head on my stepbrother's shoulder! You flirt hahaha!" She said and my eyes just grew open.

"He is your brother? So he is like new to the school?" I ask and she shakes her head no. Because she was sipping in her frappé.

"No he was there since freshman year? You don't know him? Chris a fucking varsity. Basketball player?" She said trying to know if I ever know him. Well now I know why I don't know him. He is in the basketball team. The people who do practices always and not coming out of the gym.

"Oh I just realized why I never saw him or knew him. He was in a basketball team. I don't really like sports and I don't watch one." I said and she just smile

"What about the football player? Why do you know each other." She ask and I look back how we really got to know each other.

"We were friends." I said

"He's just an asshole for not committing himself to you. What a coward. But Vanessa, if you ever want to give up, please just let go. Okay?" When she said that a smile suddenly creeps out of my face. I can't stop smiling thinking about Dylan. Then I realized just what happened last night.
