Chapter 14

*flashback to when Paige live in Haughton, LA*

Two weeks ago I dropped out of school. What the fuck is wrong with me? Okay granted my life was threatened on school property and that fat ass sorry excuse of a vice principal said she could not guarantee my safety on school grounds... Now I am just sitting around my trailer while my mom is at work in Shreveport doing nothing except listening to music and dancing around like an idiot. Granted I was having a lot of fun. Going racing every night with this guy from Captain Shreve a lot and I still went to military ball. But I lost all my friends, I went to this youth group every Wednesday but honestly I am not a Christain completely. I like some of the ideals but in my heart I am Wiccan. I am most at peace when I am focused on the elements, namely earth and fire.

A month has passed since I dropped out now, no more hanging out with the guy from Shreve. Life has begun to suck. My phone starts to go off so I pause what I am listening to which happens to be . I grab my phone and answer it "Ello its Paige." I say not recognizing the number but I know it is a home phone here in Haughton. "Paigeeeeeeeeeeeee! It's Charlotte Saryers." Great it's Charlotte, she can either be the most loyal or least loyal friend on the planet. "Hey darlin' what's up?" I ask her hoping she is not wanting to gossip. "I wanted to check in on you and see how you are doing I missed you!" She screeches into my ear. She claims to miss me but this is the first time I have heard from her since I left Haughton High. "I have been really well actually." If I must talk to her at least let me lie and not sound so lame. "Awesome. Well I have a boyfriend and I want you to meet him, come over Saturday and swim with us?" She asks, of course she wants to throw her new boyfriend in my face. "I would love to but my mom and I always wash clothes on Saturday at the laundromat. So I don't think I can." I say hoping she will just say okay and that's all. "You can wash clothes here. Save some gas and money." She offers and now I know I cannot just pass this off. "Aww are you sure? Your mom is not that fond of me if I remember correctly." I say hoping she remembers her mother hates me. "Well she works late this weekend so that takes care of that." Charlotte says, damn it I should just go ahead and give in because she won't give up. "I guess I'll ask my mom when she gets home." I say just feeling defeated. "Yay. So I'll see you then." She says and hangs up. Good Goddess help me please what did I just do. I text this guy I have been messing around with on the side named Dakota and he comes over we mess around he leaves and I start wondering what else to do when my brothers weed dealer knocks on the door. "Paige baby wanna have some real fun??" Camiron asks me holding up a baggie full of weed. "Why the fuck not? Come on in." I tell him and he sits on the couch pulls out a bong and we go at it. Two hours later he is gone and I cannot function luckily I still have an hour till my mom gets home to get my shit together. Not that she seems to notice anything anymore she's working so much and always so tired when she gets home.

Saturday came around a lot quicker than I wanted it to. It was time to see Charlotte and her boyfriend Alic ughhhh. I do not want to do this but mom said we cannot pass up free laundry. I get dressed and put my swimsuit on underneath it since Char wants to swim. We head to her house. I call her and let her know we are almost there and she says Alic will open the door she's getting the pool ready to swim.

I knock on the door and see a almost 7 foot tall guy walking towards it. "Hey I'm Alic." He says opening the door and I freeze. He looks like an angel, sandy blonde hair and a smile that melted my heart. Play it cool Paige he's probably an ass anyways. "I'm Paige my mom's in the car finishing a cigarette." I say as Char runs up to hug me. "Let's go swimming!" She yells, so I pull my shirt off and take my shorts off the whole time very aware of Alic watching my every move. This day is gonna kill me I think to myself wishing I would have smoked a little before coming.
