Look After You {Sequel To Lost In Stereo}

Chapter Twenty-That Girl

"'Cause sometimes, you just feel tired. Feel weak. And when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you. You gotta find that inner strength, and just pull that shit out of you. And get that motivation to NOT give up and NOT be a quitter. No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse." -Eminem

I'm not sure what's worse; being ignored by your friends, or ignoring them. Every time Jessie or Xavier texted me I'd ignore them, and whenever I texted Zach, Corey or Cam I got nothing. And even just texting one of them, was something I needed. I kept finding myself thinking about how in a week and a half I'd be fourteen. And it'd be exactly a year since Gramma died.

I'd always been closer with Gramma then any of my other grandparents. She'd always been able to understand me. And that's something I needed. To be understood.

The rest of the week passed carelessly and dad telling me to put all my stuff in the car was the best thing I'd heard since he told me about the baby. I really was happy about that, the idea of having a younger brother or sister. Hopefully brother, going by Corey little sisters are annoying as hell.

"I've been played a fool four,

three, too many times and

When did lust for you

become an organized crime?

I tried to keep you honest, babe.

But I was just a pawn

You played the part so well,

it hurts to know you're gone,"

I turned the volume up on my iPod as I dully sat in the back of the car. Jessie was texting me every two seconds, and half of it was "Where did you get ur but your not Keaton Stromberg shirt?!?!"
