Two Sides Of Life (On Hold)

2. Set Me Free

Authors Note: I haven't edit this at all so I'm sorry for the grammar stuff. I hope you like this chapter. I know the first one was kind of corny, but I promise it gets good.

After crying for hours my brother got up, and went down stairs to watch TV. I had to go make dinner, and turn on music. Charlotte, my best friend, always found something to yell at me about and break up with me every six months. I always cried, and felt awful; so I always apologized.

“Are you seriously going to apologize to her again?” Jonas asked.

“Of course,” I said whipping my eyes.

“I don’t like her; she constantly makes you feel awful and tears you down,” He said sitting down at the island watching me cut up bell peppers.

“Well, she’s a really good friend.” I said looking at him.

“No, she’s not. She drags you everywhere and makes fun of you constantly; I’m just warning you.” He said kissing my cheek and steeling a piece.

“Well, tomorrow I’m going to stay away. I’ll try to talk with someone else” I said looking up at him nod and walk into the TV room.

Once I got the chicken and spices in the crockpot with the bell peppers, I went upstairs to go onto my computer. I blasted my music and danced around. I turned it down, and did my lesson for the guitar. Once I felt like I accomplished something I set it down, and turned back on the music. My addiction is music, 24/7. I grabbed my phone and long board to head outside.

“I’m going for a ride; I’ll be home at seven.” I said racing out of the house. I need to distract myself. I brought my book bag, and headed over to the sea. I sat down on the sand and got my homework out. I love California. My parents decided to move here because they love the weather. There gone four times a week, at business meetings. Once I was done I started to walk into a small town. I saw a guy playing guitar, and another playing the drums. I looked in my bag for money and found a twenty. I set it inside, and they smiled very big at me. I set my long board down, and waved bye. I headed down the town, and found myself craving chocolate. I tried to find money, and realized that was it. I sat down, and watched people walk by.

I got up went onto my long board, and hit a small rock. I fell, and I felt like crying. I got up coolly and went into a bathroom. I cried for a bit, and made sure my eyes looked normal. I started to walk home, and thought about what happened. I should apologize, but I’m not going to talk with her until she apologized for saying those nasty words. I wonder if Peter and I will be okay.

“Hey, wait!” someone yelled and I looked behind me unsure if someone was talking to me. It was just someone talking to an old man. I felt silly for turning around. I got onto my long board and headed back to the beach. It took me a while, but once I got there I felt my skin soaking up the sun. I took off my vans and dipped my feet into the water. I sat down, and the water came up to my feet. I took out my notebook and started to write.

Baby, just listen to my cries,

I try and I try.

I want more of this life

With no knives.

Please, just try.

For I might die.

Oh, set me free;

Tell me

you need me.

Take me home,

And let me know.

You’re my best friend
