Fixing You ~A BajanCanadian Love Story~

Chapter 3

I swiftly walk into Starbucks and order two drinks. One iced coffee and one caramel macchiato. I walk to an empty table and sip on my ice cold drink.

I start thinking. Who was that guy? Why did he seem so familiar? Did I know him? Who is h-

"Hey! Bree! Are you ok?" Rachel hugs me. She's always been the sweet type.

"Yeah..I'm ok.." I respond.

"So..care to explain what happened?"

"Sure."

I give her the caramel macchiato I ordered then I tell her what's been happening since I was 12. The beatings, the name calling, everything. I talk about the school bullies. I tell her about what happened today, how my "dad" kicked me out.

"Wow..Jess..I never knew all this happened to you..why didn't you ever tell me?"

"Because I was afraid you would ask a question."

"What question?"

"This question: How did you not want to end it?"

"Oh."

"Yeah..cuz I didn't want you to find out about my secret. That made me want to keep living. But I guess I have to tell you.."

"Only if you want."

That made me stop to think.

Only if you want.

Those were the words my ex said to me. The boyfriend that was using me. Those were the words he used before he took my..innocence.

I break down right there.

"Shhh..it's ok..Jessica..you don't have to tell me..shh," Rachel rubs my back as I sob.

"N-no. I w-want to t-tell y-you. It's just t-that **sniffle** the words..o-only I-if y-you w-want **sniffle** were the words that **sniffle** B-B-Brad u-used b-before he..t-took my innocence.."

"Wow..Jessie..why didn't I know any of this?"

"Cuz you don't go to my school.."

She laughs.

I smile.

"And.."

"Because I was afraid you were gonna kill him and get arrested.." I joke.

We both take a hearty laugh.

"So..you don't have to tell me your secret. You can keep it to yourself."

"Nah..I w-want to tell you.." I wipe the last tear off my face.

I leaned in close to her face.

"Do you know who BreeJessHugsMC is?"

"Yeah..the famous minecraft YouTuber with the same name as you..wait. Is she your twin?!"

"No. She's.....me."

Rachel looks at me like I'm crazy.

"You're kidding, right?"

"No."

"Seriously. Bree. You're kidding, right?!"

"Seriously. No."

"OMFG MY FRIEND IS A FAMOUS MINECRAFT YOUTUBER!!!" Rachel screams. The whole Starbucks turns to our attention.

"No..she doesn't have a famous minecraft YouTuber as her friend..it's just a script for..a school play..called..Minecraft YouTuber." I say to everyone. They all groan and continue to do their business.
