*party*

Maria

People, one after the other arrived, but no sign of Nat.Would he come at all?Daniel kissed my cheek,"Are you ok?" I half smiled,"I'm fine, go have fun."I waited, and the more I waited the more I felt like he wasn't going to come.I just decided to hang out with Mia, he wasn't coming.

Nat

I sat on Jack's bed as i looked at my watch,9:30.The party had started and hour and a half ago and where was i,i was here sitting on Jack's bed waiting for him to find the "perfect" outfit.He was such a girl."Ok,i think i'm ready. How do i look?" I reached for my keys out of my pocket,"You look gorgeous,now let's go." We walked out ot my car and i got in.I looked over at Jack,"You ready for this?" He nodded,"Why are you so worried,we got invited remember?" I shook my head as i drove,"So,we're still the outcasts nobody wants to know anything about." He shrugged.It was silent the rest of the way,then we arrived.Once we got to the front step we knocked,with any luck she'd answer the door and things would be fine.Just as the door opened i remembered that luck was never really in my favor.Brian O'Brady,Daniel's best friend,of course he'd answer the door.He gave us a disgusted look,"What are you loser doing here?" i smiled,i was gonna enjoy this. "Well brian,we were invited to this party by Maria Ambriz.Go on ask her yourself." Brian found Maria and she confirmed she invited us,score! As soon as we walked in,Daniel pulled her away.

Maria

Daniel was basically dragging me away,"What's the matter Dan?" "Babe,did u really invite them?" I nodded,"Yeah,is that a problem?" He shook his head,"Babe,i know you wanna be nice and all,but no one wants them here." "Why not?" "Babe theyre outcasts,they dont fit in. Nobody wants to hang out with a cutter and a fag." Nat was a cutter,i mean everyone knew Jack was gay,but nat a cutter. Things made sense now."But i mean,everyone deserves to party.i think they're pretty cool." Daniel looked upset. "Babe listen they're outcasts,they dont belong." "But dani-." He slapped me....... "Don't you understand,theyre not like us." I held my cheek,you said you would never do that again......" "Well why are you being such an idiot?" "Daniel,we're over." As i walked away i felt him grab my wrist,"You dont say when we're over,i do." he was about to slap me again when i hear Nat. "Leave her alone!" Daniel laughed as he threw me to the ground,"What are you gonna do about it Cutter?" Nat was silent and in a swift move he swung at Dabiel and hit him in the jaw. he quickly ran over to me,"We have to get out of here." i nodded as we swiflty left and got into his car.He saved me.

Nat

So much for keeping  low profile,but what's done is done.As we got into my car i looked at her,she had her and on her cheek as a few tears ran down her cheeks."A-Are you ok?" i asked.She nodded,"lets just go before they come after us." It was silent,then Jack opened his mouth."Nat,what did you do?"I flinched as i remembered the scene,"He was hurting her Jack,what did you want me to do sit there and watch?" Jack sighedas he looked at her,"Has he done it before?"She nodded slightly,"but he was really stressed and he was sorry,he didnt mean it." I felt a surge of anger run through me as i stopped at Jack's house.Once Jack got out i looked at her,"No guy has the right to hit a girl,no matter what." I wiped a tear off her cheek.

Maria

His touch was soft as he wiped a tear from my cheek."I know, i just wasn't thinking i guess." "Do you want me to drive you home?" I looked over at his watch,10:45."My parents are half way to Colorado,i was supposed to stay at Danie'l while they visited my grandparents." He looked at me,"Well,my parents and my brother Alex are gone for the break. Do you wanna i don't know stay at my house?" I nodded,"That'd be nice,thank you."

Nat

10:55,here i am. I'm taking a girl over to my place with no parents.Tonight was totally worth it.We drived in silence,her phone ringing every know and then.I was assuming it was Daniel.Once we pulled into the driveway,i went around and attempted to help her out of my car. "It's fine Nat,i can do it on my own." I smiled as i led her into the house.I looked at her cheek,the redness was mostly gone."I should get out of this dress." I nodded,"Yeah,follow me." I led her into my room,she looked around as i scavangered for a t-shirt. In the end i found an old rolling stones t-shirt and handed it to her."Will this do?" She reached for it,"Yeah,thank you"

Maria

I took the shirt as i slid off my dress,he turned around as i smiled.I slid on the t-shirt and it fit me big,there was really no need for pants."Ok,you can turn ariund now." He looked at me as i sat on his bed and slid off my flats."Nat?" I motioned for him to sit with me."Yeah?" "Thanks for helping me tonight." I held his hand and his eyes moved from my hand to my arm. Suddenly he had a surprised look in his eyes,he had seen.I quickly pulled my hand away."You have some too?"He said as he lifted his sleeves.His cuts were different,but in somany ways just like mine."A benifit of dating Daniel Cuevas." i said sarcasticlly.He reached for my arm and examined it,"I thought your life was perfect." I sighed,"My life is far from perfect."

Nat

I watched her as she fixed herself on my bed and i realized she said her life was far from perfect."Maria?" "Mhm?" I sighed,"I should let you sleep." She smiled,"Actually,can you stay with me?" I sat near her as she played with my hand,"Nat don't hurt yourself." I looked at her as i moved a strand of hair from her face and behind her ear."Only if you stop hurting yourself." She lifted a pinky to me,"Pinky promise?"We intertwined our fingers as i said,"Pinky promise." She smiled as she kissed me.I leaned in closer as i kept kissing her.I was hesitant,we should stop. I didn't want it to stop.

Maria

As i kissed him, i unbuttoned his shirt.He placed his hand on my thigh, but his moves were hesitant.As i stopped i looked at him,"Nat, we shouldnt do this.Not now.' She smiled and kissed my cheek,"Ok." He layed next to me as we talked.This moment felt like it would never end.Nat Wolff, a sweet and sensative guy, a human being bent just like me.I felt sleep come slow, slower, and then i was out.

Nat

I felt her slowly fall asleep, she looked so peacful.I delicately stroked her hair as i watched her sleep.I hoped for this not to be a dream and if it was, then i hoped it would never end.Maria Ambriz, a girl broken and not perfect.A human being bent just like me.

The guy on the right is Daniel :) What an asshole.
