WE CAN WORK ON IT

Me?

Chapter 4

Drew's POV

"I swear to you that was her" I told my best friend Maria.

"No way, like the Jessica miller" she responded.

"Yes the one and only" I said.

"Omfggg" she screamed.  

Why was she so happy? Just, because I bumped into the hottest girl, to ever step foot in Payenword Senior High. I also have a crush on her I mean how can you not. She's beautiful, smart, funny, popular, athletic, and different. I feel like she is hiding something, but I can't be sure it's not like we are friends. She doesn't even know I'm alive.

"Did you talk to her?" Maria asked.

"Nope" I said quieter.

"Okay whatever so, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know?" I said.

My dad wasn't home and I don't think he was coming back soon so we wanted to watch a movie. I picked Paranormal Activity 4, but she was too scared to watch that so we watched her pick, Fast & Furious 6. I didn't complain. Maria brings the best of me out. I usually won't talk to people or do anything, but she makes me smile and lets me be me.

Knock knock knock...

"Were you expecting anyone teddy bear?" That's the nickname I gave her our freshman year.

"No" she said and that pulled a trigger for me, because the next second you can hear dad and his friends talking loud.

"You have to hide or leave now I don't want him to hurt you let alone know you." I said so fast for a second I thought she wanted me to repeat it.

"Fine I'm going to hide I don't want to leave you alone here with that monster." That was my father but she wasn't lying he was horrible.

"bitch come down here" my father screamed for me.

"I'm on my way" I looked at my Bestie she gave me a small smile and gestured for me to leave.

I almost tripped as I went downstairs. "What do you need dad?" I asked. "For you to bring my main guys some drinks from the kitchen." I walked towards the kitchen as he tripped me. I fell on my face and got back up. "Awe did the baby fall" his friend said. "No" I said. Right after that I regretted it he pushed me on the floor and sat on top of me. He punched me repeatedly on the same side of my stomach. I knew for sure I had a broken rib cage.  Then my dad pulled him off and get this screamed at me not him. "Why did you talk back to him see you deserved that." And he punched me in the eye. Tears were welling up in my eyes, but I kept it in. My dad said crying is for the weak well what am I then. I got the drinks for them and shake it before giving it to them. I ran upstairs and locked my door. "Shit" screamed one of the men downstairs I don't know why but it was so funny. When I found my Maria under blankets in my closet, she helped me clean up now I looked bad. They were of course going to call me down to the counseling office tomorrow. Maria was scared and pissed off she was going to go downstairs and scream at him like a bitch, but she had common senses. We ate two big bags of Takis, a type of chips, and each two liter soda as we finished our movie. She decided to sleep over and pulled out her secret sleeping bag from my closet. I still can't get her smile out of my face, Jessica miller will never go for a guy like me, will she?
