Pierced (A Chandler Riggs Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

"I'm only Human!

And I bleed when I fall down.

I'm only Human!

And I crash and I break down!

Your words in my head. Knives in my heart!

You build me up and then I fall apart because I'm only Human!"

I sang along to the iHeart radio app playing on my phone as I fixed my bed.

I'm pretty sure I got most of the words wrong but I didn't give a fuck.

Despite Hunter confusing me today, I'm the happiest I've ever been.

I don't know why, I mean shouldn't I be crying or some shit?

But I can't. I tried being sad, I really did. I tried thinking of Hunter and making myself feel guilty for the action I took with Chandler mere minutes ago, but I can't.

I'm happy.

I still need to figure up what was wrong with Hunter but he's been ignoring my calls, later I'll have to try and call Hayes. I know he'll tell me what's up.

As soon as I came back, Zoe and Avery had to leave.
They said they'd probably be back later.

I hummed along to the same song as I took out my camera, Canon camera.

My grandmother gave it to me a few months ago, she wanted me to take pictures of myself "growing" and send it to her. I promised I'd start in the summer and I mean it is summer so I might as well keep my promise.

I started making silly faces into the camera, sticking my tongue out and acting like a goof.

"What. The. Fuck. Are you doing?" I heard.

I turned my head quickly and saw Sam standing in the doorway laughing.

"Taking selfies." I said and put the camera down.

"My grand mum wants me to send her pictures. I might as well before she dies..." I trailed off, trying to make it seem like it wasn't my idea to take a million selfies.

"It's stupid, I know." I said after moments of silence from Sam's end.

He smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Nah, it's cute." He grinned.

I blushed.

"I came up here to tell you that Selena and Tom want you to go downstairs. They just got home." Sam shrugged and disappeared down the hallway.

I got up and turned off my phone before heading downstairs.

"Hi." I said as I entered the kitchen.

Selena was mixing up some vegetables while Tom was sitting at the island on his laptop.

They both looked at me.

"Hi sweetie, your mom sent us an email saying she forgot to tell us that you had an appointment around this time to get your braces tightened." Selena spoke while chopping more veggies.

I cringed at her words.

I've had braces for only a year and they don't hurt at all, sometimes they get in the way.... But besides that they're okay.

I've never had my braces tightened but I'm not stupid, I know it hurts like hell. My old best friend Becca got hers tightened and she cried for two days.

Speaking of Becca, I should really call her....

"Why do I need them tightened? They feel fine." I sassed.
