Life of a Teenage Misfit

two

As im pulling on my joggers and loose Pink Floyd shirt i hear a notification and i run over to my phone that's playing some Panic! At The Disco and see its from mel.
"dude call me"
oh dear god. she never says that unless there's some bad news.

i call her and shes sobbing.
"Isaiah's dad wont let him go" she says stuttering because of her crying.
"This bitch" i say blankly and crack my knuckles loudly.
"i..its fine as long as you're coming. you and Fluffy will cheer me up." she says trying to smile.
"i gotchu ill bring. you food ok?" i say struggling to tie my vans.
"kay you get ready and ill wait for you" she says sniffling.
I end the call and finally get my vans on and i grab my earbuds and my longboard and say my goodbyes then start zooming down the street gift in hand.

I get to her house and i just walk in and say hi to her mom and siblings. Shes Latina so i could spend almost five minutes saying hi to all the people in her house. I run up the stairs and put down my baby in her closet so the kids wont break it. "sup dude" i say with a nod as shes still putting on her makeup.
"where's ma food?" she says sarcastically popping a purple grape into her mouth.
I walk over and grab a handful and say "looks like you already have some" laughing and popping a grape of my own into my mouth.
As i go to sit down on her bed i hear a doorbell and run down the stairs to see fluffy because i haven't seen the guy in forever. I jump up because isn't see through the window due to my shortness and then open the door. Then i see someone that i wasn't expecting. Isaiah and hes smiling like hes done something bad. "you little..." i start to say but he covers my mouth and throws me over his shoulder nodding a "hey" to mel's parents and hops up the stairs as im struggling to get off. I lick his hand and he jerks his hand away. "i dont want a face full of ass thank you." i say annoyed and gasping for air. He chuckles and puts me down and puts a finger over his mouth and i scream for mel to lock her door and lie that her cousin is coming. That guys lucky. Isaiah leans down and whispers that he was gonna surprise her and i explained that she was crying because of him and he had the saddest look on his face. "My baby girl" he says with a sad tone.
"he's gone mel you can open your door!" i scream and Isaiah looks at me and i give him a nod as if saying "go" and he runs into the room, picks mel up out of the chair and kisses her.
"Im right here dude sheesh i dont wanna see that." i say and jump down the stairs as my black and blue wavy hair is bouncing in my face. i hear the doorbell and fall down the last two steps.
I open the door nod hi to fluffy and thats when i saw him.
max.
blue hair fading just like mine and hes wearing a Panic At The Disco shirt.
he nods at me and i just stand there.
Alex waddles through the door and gives me a big hug "im alex!" he exclaims.
Then i see a fluffy haired guy who has fluffier hair than fluffy. "hey" i say shyly and christian introduces himself shyly.
And max is the one thats still coming up the stairs and everyone else has already ran off leaving me to have to socialize. "n..nice shirt.." i stutter and cover my wrist in habit.
he looks up at me and fixes his hair. He takes a little too long of a look at me before saying thanks.
He looks at my hand covering my wrist and gives me a sympathetic look. I look away from him ashamed. great first impression huh.

I fade into a daydream and im brought back to reality when i feel to strong arms embrace me in a hug. His scent fills my nose and fades into my mind and all i think is safety and home. I never feel safe but when those arms wrapped around me i was. Then i heard his voice "Do you want my jacket and a tissue?"
"w..why the tissue?" i asked while shivering. then i realized i was crying. but why?

You're not alone anymore
He understands you
He cares

No he doesn't hes just being nice
but why to me

because he understands you

no one understands you

"STOP ALREADY!" i scream unintentionally.
I see the shock on max's face and more tears stream down my face.
I run out of mel's house with a blurry vision.
I dont know where im going but i dont care.
I want the voices to stop.
