Damaged Teens

Chapter Two

"That was awesome Ren, thank you so much. She had it coming" I blabbered smiling widely at my best friend.

"She definitely did and I'm sick of the way she treats you Mar." she replied slowly, her voice breaking by the second.

"Thank you Mrs. James, I'll be just fine" I gave a genuine smile to the beautiful tall lady with deep green eyes like her daughter's and her shiny dark brown bobbed length hair.

That's the only thing I've grudged Ren for. Her supportive, functional family. They were one big happy family who stood by each other and fought their way through every battle.

I've always imagined having more with my parents than a thirty seconds call every other month. I've always imagined coming home to them in the evenings after school, hating them for grounding me or gagging at them at their breach of PDA. I imagined being happy, just like Ren.

I wonder things would've been if mom didn't run away and dad wasn't all about his fame and friends. I wonder how-
"Mar???" Ren asked puzzled. I wonder how long she's been sitting on the bed.
"It's gonna be okay, I promise" she reassured.
I'm too "I don't know what" to reply so instead I tackled her into a bear hug. She hugged back almost immediately as we both giggled.

"So have you-"

"Do you think-"

"You go first" I smiled as I let go off her.

"Okay, uhm, have you told your parents what took place today? " she asked.

"Well, I, uh, I don't know how to really. T-Thats if grandma hasn't already called and create some sickening story as usual. Then I'll get the blame and all faults will be on me and I'm just sick of-"

"Slow down there babe. Take it easy. We'll get through this together. Plus do it tomorrow, you've had a long day, just get some rest. Goodnight. Ily tramp. " and with that she got up.

She made her way to the door and made one last glance before I asked "Ren, sleep with me tonight?"

"I thought you'd never ask" and already she's on top of me, literally. What's your size? 550lbs?? But I know better than to say that out loud.

We talked about everything and nothing in particular. Random best friend shit. Not to mention her constant blabbers about the boy today at the café. That face.. I've seen it somewhere, but where..

It was about 11pm or so and at this time miss heavy weavy next to me has already fallen asleep. Everything kept flowing back in my mind as I closed my eyes trying to sleep. I failed of course. All of today's events came rushing in.

9 hours earlier.
"Stop here" I demanded.

"What now Maddie?" Ren asked being dramatic as ever.

"So now it has to be something for me to get a coffee latté?" I asked faking annoyance. We both ended up laughing. We got out her shiny silver toyota carola 2016 we call CandyBull and into the café. Joining the line that was relatively long for this time of day, Ren decided to go get us a table. Shortly after we were served.

Out of nowhere came a tall, and I mean tall blonde boy with grey eyes. He's probably 19 or 20. His hair is ruffled and his built is overwhelming. He looked quite classy in his white dress shirt and black pants, only thing missing is his jacket. The shirt barely helped his muscles from bursting out and I found myself gazing. Snap out of it.

His power was evident and perhaps he was some CEO or President's family. I legit didn't care with all that was going through my mind.

"Hello there" he spoke. I didn't bother to look up again as I thought he came to Ren. That was until I felt a foot kick me under the table, hard. Ouch!

I met Ren's eyes saying talk to the hottie you idiot. Then I realised. He was talking to me.

"H-Hi" I stammered.

"Oh so you do speak" he chuckled and I can't help but notice his perfectly white teeth and also lust at his balanced bass tone that was overwhelmingly deep. Who made you??? I bit hard on my tongue trying not to answer to his dumb ass comment though.
No I'm a dummy who magically said hi.

Another kick. Ouch..... Shit I said that out loud.

"Well aren't you a feisty one" he said.

"Look I-"

"Forgive my ass of a best friend. She's been having a really bad day and blood is probably running from her vagina so she's quite touchy.." Ren interrupts.

Sure just tell my problems to this stranger, no problem best friend.

I gave her the wtf look but she just rolled her eyes.

"Hmmmmm, a grumpy behavior is allowed I guess" he churned cheerfully. "Well as much as I'd love to stay, I really have to go. So here, call me." he said as he handed me a card. Then he spun on his heels. He stopped dead in his tracks as he said, "Oh and by the way, the name's Alex." And with that he turned and left.

Before I could comprehend what just took place I heard a loud squeal. "Ohh eemmm geeeeee. The guy's so into you. He's such a hottie. Omg my in law is sooo hot!-"

"You do know he just gave me a card and said his name was Alex right? He didn't kneel down and propose with a jet ready for us to make a grand escape. So no he's not your in law" I stated pretty much annoyed.
"Did you see the way he looked at y-"

"Renae Chelsea James, enough." I scowled.

"Fine" she surrendered throwing her hands in the air.

I grabbed my latte and started to make my way outside. I ain't gonna lie, he's a real hottie but there's something about that face. I've seen it before, I know I have, but where?

I was so caught up trying to remember this Geek God that I bumped into someone.
"I'm so sor- Samantha? Omg you're actually here! " I half screamed half squealed.

Samantha Spencer was my favorite first cousin. She's my uncle's child. From childhood days we were called twins, only difference was our height and slight difference in complexion.

She was mid height, with straight dirt brown hair, grey eyes and straight nose. Very similar to myself.

"Hi" she replied dryly. Well damn, all for my excitement, huh? "Have you spoken to dad since recently?" she questioned with a blank expression.

"N-No,not really. Is everything alright with him? " I stammered. Uncle Jeffrey was my favorite uncle of all times. He and my mother is extremely close and he treats me exactly like Samantha. It's so unfortunate that they live all the way in Vermont and I'm here in New York.

It's been a while though and now that I thought about it I fell extremely bad. I'll definitely have to call and make it up when I get home. I remember when Sam and I were playing one day and he came t-

"-in hospital with stage three cancer" Samantha's words caught my ears as I snapped back to reality.

Uncle Jeff?
Hospital?
Broken bones?
What????

"What?????? " I asked frantically panicking.

So yea there you have it. Three of the main reasons I can't fall asleep.

I needed to see my uncle asap, I'm contemplating on apologising to my granny and Greek Guy is yet to be figured out.

It must have been minutes later but the next thing I know I'm covered in a world of darkness.
