Half way through the third movie we were watching, "Love Actually." There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Cameron says as he hands the bowl of popcorn to me and gets up. Moments later Matt, Carter, Nash, Shawn, Taylor, Jack Johnson, Jack Gilinsky and Aaron walk in. Yes! But wait.. There's one more person.. And it's not Mallory.
It's Hayes. Well, this is awkward.
I hug all the boys and they all sit down. I didn't hug Hayes. But he probably didn't even care. I sit down and look around and see Hayes sitting next to me. Too close I might add.
"Hey," Hayes turns to me and says.
"Hi." I awkwardly say.
"So.. About the thing earlier, ya know. I made Jordan delete what she took. I saw it and I didn't think it was right. So I told her to delete it." Hayes says.
"Really? Thank you. Honestly, I was scared she might have sent it to the whole school. Thanks." I smile at him and he returns it.
"Yeah." He says as Taylor gets up and starts shouting.
"LETS PLAY TRUTH OR DARE!" Taylor says. No. Everyone agrees except me so I guess we have to.
"Hayes, truth or dare?" Nash asks with a wink.
"Dare." Hayes rolls his eyes.
"Hmm. This ones really lame but go around and tell a secret to everyone in this room about you to them. Just whisper it. No one knows, but them." Nash says. He was right. That was lame.
"Hayes goes around doing the dare and as he reaches me. He stops, and goes back to where he was. Well then, okay.
"You skipped me.." I mumble.
"Maybe I didn't want to tell you anything." He snaps. Ouch. What happened to his mood he had earlier?
"Hayes, seriously. Stop being a douche." Cameron tells him. Hayes just glares and looks away.
"I'm not a douche."
"Well you sure as hell are acting like one. So just stop." Cameron snaps and I get up and walk outside. Trying to avoid any conflict. I sit on the porch swing and sit there.
"Hey, what are you doing out here? I noticed you left." Jack J. sits beside me.
"Just thinking.." I trail off.
"About what?" He asks me.
"What it would be like to be normal for once. Just have a normal family, with normal people. I wish I had friends like a normal person. I wish I wasn't bullied. I wish my mom hadn't died. I wish my boyfriend and dad wouldn't abuse me. And I wish that I had never even been alive."
"Savannah listen, normal is boring. And you're perfectly fine the way you are. You may not be living the best life right now, but at least you're living it. Just think what life would be like if everyone had the same lives. It would be so boring. Trust me, you are one of the strongest girls I know. And I mean it." He smiles at me.
"Thanks, Jack." I say and hug him. We go inside and find everyone sitting at the dining room table eating pizza. I sit in the empty seat across from Hayes and next to Cameron. Jack takes the empty seat on the other side of me.
"I'm done." Hayes announces and gets up but Carter pushes him back down.
"You barley ate. And plus. Savannah and Jack just got back and haven't even had so much as a conversation with us. Just sit and talk at least. Or eat." Carter says and takes a bite of his pizza.
"I'm not eating, nor am I going to talk. Not with that thing sitting across from me." He says and looks me dead in the eye. Ouch. That hurt my feelings. A lot. Cameron gets up and smacks Hayes making him yell in pain.
"Don't be a fucking douche. It's rude." He says and I just sit there emotionless. I get up. Not excusing myself. And run out of the house. Crying. Not caring about who is running behind me. I find my house and run in, locking the doors. My dad still isn't home and I go upstairs to the bathroom in my room and take out the razor from the bag I had before. I was about to cut the skin until I remembered.
"I remember praying to God for more friends. Trust me, Vannah. It gets better."
"It may not be the best life, but at least your living it."
I replay the advice they gave me and I remember Cameron kissing my cuts. He was so careful and gentle. Like a feather. I put the razor down and I go into my bedroom and lay on my bed. Not caring about my broken phone that is now ringing. I don't care. All I need is sleep. That's all.
