Tattoo Love

Chapter 13

 The day of graduation appears right in front of me. Starla is here, my other friends Casey and Luna as well as Ana and her boyfriend. My father even shows up. My 8th grade science teacher drives all the way from Houston to see me graduate. And of course my mom is there.

Nat gets super pissy when I decide to go out with Starla, Rony, Casey and Luna after graduation. My mom has Casey in her car following me and my dad back to the hotel where my dad decides to stay for the night. Luna takes Starla and Rony to the restaurant we are going to eat at and waits for us. I am so excited to finally be able to spend time with my best friends. We reminisce about the good ole days. Luna loves all of them, Luna drives me home while Starla and Rony go with my mom to take Casey home.

"What's wrong shorty?" Luna asks me. She can always tell when something is wrong with me. I love her for it but at times like this when their is the whole Jake thing and then Nat thing. It kinda sucks. "A lot honestly Luna, Nat and then this guy at the tattoo shop. And then this fucking dream I had of Alic..." I just start rambling. "You need speed therapy first of all and then we will work through the problems together. Now pick one: Fast and Furious or Need for Speed." She gives me the options of how fast I wanna go tonight. Luna and I both have an unconditional love for Ford and fast cars. "How about Fast meets Need?" I suggest really needing to just fly down the empty highways. "Ohhh Shorty this is why I love you!" She starts driving and finally we are out far enough that their are no cars. She is driving this amazing 2004 Ford Mustang with convertible top. And it is Sonic Blue I am in love with Lucifer.

We hit 80 MPH and my thoughts start to finally clear. 95 I cannot even remember the guys who have my heart in a tangled mess. 100 and I am finally feeling good. We blast Three Days Grace Riot and everything finally clears and I feel almost normal gain. "Better?" Luna asks me when we hit 120. "Yes, so much better. Thank you." I tell her and I honestly mean it. My thoughts are clear, I feel so much better.

After she takes me home, I sit with her and Starla and begin to explain my love life. I tell them how possessive and mean Nat has gotten. They both say it is probably time to break it off. I agree but I don't like the idea of throwing away a two year long relationship, even though I know I should. Then it is on to explain Jake. Oh the joys this brings, I show them a picture of him and then the texts. They both say he sounds like either a sweetheart or major FuckBoy. Again I totally agree but to be honest part of me wishes I didn't. But let's be real guys what normal like 21 year old man wants anything to do with a barely 18 barely a high school graduate girl when they already have a child. Now to explain who Alic is and maybe with Luna's help find out why I am dreaming of him. Yay for me...
