He carries me out the house and into his car. He sat me down gentle and bucked me up like I was a toddler.

Im an independent person but this time I don't mind someone doing something nice for me like buckling my seat belt up.

He gently shut the door after he buckled me in and ran to the drivers side. He jumps in and bucked up, looks at me and says "I don't think you should go to volleyball practice today."

"I have to we have regionals next week. I need as much practice as possible. If we don't win regionals we don't go to the championship I got to–" I said without finishing because he leaned in and kissed me. WAIT WHAT KISSED ME???? NO WAY NOT JOEY IT COULDNT OF BEEN.

He kissed me softly for what seemed like ever then got a little rough. He pulls away and says "fine let me drive you there"

"Ok" I said back.

He drove me to the volleyball court. I got out and said "thanks Joey, bye" he says bye lyza see you at the movies tonight."
I winked and turned to the entrance of the court.

The practice was intense today. My head throbbed the whole time but I didn't care. When it comes to volleyball I don't care at all. It's just volleyball has been there for me when nobody was... volleyball and skating. I skated all those years that I wasn't popular. I would go to the skating rink and race a good bit of guys. I usually won I guess that's why I was so addicted to it. Noe I don't really go anymore. Two years ago if you told me I wouldn't skate everyday them id say ur a straight up liar. I believed I'd skate everyday for the rest of my life but I guess all this stuff I got to do for volleyball and and me having to get jobs is just hard to fit in a skate time between it. I still go on Fridays alot but I believe ill have to quit that too. My schedule is full.

I start walking home and I get a phone call from Josie one of my close friends from Florida.

Bold lyza regular Josie....

Hello

Hi its Josie umh lyza Mel is in the hospital her boyfriend beat her half to death. She really wants you to come see her. Can you maybe come down here. I know it's a long way but she might not make it.

Oh my...no why would he do that. Let me go find that bitch! I'll tell my dad I'm going but tonight I can't I have to do something. But tomorrow I'll purchase a ticket to come there. What is HIS NAME HE BETTER NOT HAVE BEEN ANY OF THE GUYS I KNOW.

He's not his name was mark and they have him in custody now.

Ok I'll probably be down there not tmr but the next day so Monday or something like that.

Ok bye love you hoe.

Bye whore.

I hung up and start jogging back to the house. I needed to get ready for the movies and buy airline tickets off line and put my makeup on so I needed to hurry.

I got home shut the door so put of breath I fell on the floor then I look up and my dad is standing there. I get up and catch my breath.

"Hi dad uh I got to get ready and I need some money to buy a ticket to Florida my friend is in the hospital and they don't know if she will make it" I said trying not to sound like a bitch.

"Lyza I never get to see you anymore and–" my dad began.

'look dad I got to get ready and I know you work all the time and if your not working I'm some where but I need to be getting ready so can I have your bank card number to buy the ticket?" I asked

"Yes" he sighed.

I felt bad but this was an emergency.

I ran up stairs found a purple thong and slipped it on quickly. I kinda wanna look good for joey. I feel bad for what I did to make but really he's not really my type anyways. I look in my closet and just found some of my old soccer pants they were adidas then I found my adidas shirt to go with it. So much for looking cute. I looked like shot but that's what makeups for. I put on tons of base and bronzer then I did my wings. After that I put eyeshadow and blush on. I ran over to my computer and bought my ticket for Florida and my flight tomorrow leaves at 5 pm. I grab my phone and wristlet, went down stairs grabbed my car keys, and jumped in the car.

I drove to the movie theater and waited for Kris and all them to show up.

I waited and waited they never came the movie was going to start soon to I went to the movie we were going to watch. It was called before I fall. I read the book and it was pretty good so I wanted to see it. I get a text from Kris and say they are going to be about thirty minutes late what she meant by that is her and Jakob are probably doing each other ugh... she said Joey should be walking in the theater by now. I didn't respond.

I see Joey looking dumb-founded. He was looking for me and I didn't care I'm actually wanting to go back to Florida to see my friends I use to hang with before we moved.

He seen me and came up and sat beside me. He was all happy and offered me popcorn. I said no thanks.

"What's wrong" he says.

"Nothing I just have to go to Florida tomorrow" I said.

"WHAT YOUR LEAVING ME?" he asks

"It's not like you care. You got all these whores around here. Plus my friend is in the hospital I have go see her. She's in bad shape." I said

"So ur going to leave me here with Kris and Jakob. You know how they are, always making out and making you feel uncomfortable." He said.

"I don't care you will be fine." I said salty.

He got the point I didn't want to talk and shut up.

I dozed off on Joey's shoulder. I didn't care at this point. Volleyball practice drained me and I've been going all day so I was tired. I felt Joey slightly shake me and say "lyza the movie is over its time to go." I groaned I didn't want to get up. He noticed Ed and picked me up bridal style. He threw one of my arms over his shoulder and carried me out of the movie theater.

I felt so in love man I had this sensational feeling. I mean I had a gigantic crush on this dickhead. He was so adorable and such a gentlemen but also a dick.

He whispered in my ear "do you want me to take you home lyza? We can come get your car tomorrow."

"No no no I'm awake I'm fine" I yawned

He sat me on his cars hood and pushed me back then leaned over me and started kissing me gentle on my lips. I pulled him closer to me and I started nibbling on his neck. I wanted to make my mark you see so I as I did that he whispered in my ear "aren't a little freaky". I nodded and wrapped my legs around his waisted. I asked in between breaths why didn't Kris and jakob come."

"They wanted to stay home and fuck each other I guess." He said then he started kissing my neck and nibbling at it.

"Must be nice." I said. then I felt him trying to pull my adidas pants down.

"No Joey no. Not right here. I got to get home anyways to get packed."

He stopped and stared at me then said "I'm sorry lyza I got a little too carried away umh uh–"

"It's fine Joey I want you as much as you want me but got to go" I told him...

I hopped off his car hood and stood on my tippy toes to kiss him one more time. I pulled away and said bye then Joe's iny car.

"Bye lyza I–" he said but didn't finish cause I drove off.

I am beginning to think I'm such a bitch i mean I just leave guys hanging. And I feel like a whore. I mean I'm a virgin still but I don't exactly know if I want to do it or not.
