My Two Best Friends|G.D|E.D

Monday morning, as usual, an absolute bust of a day for anyone. But, an absolute disaster everyday for me, living in my shoes. 

My father pushed me to the edge this morning calling me a bitch and that I use his money for obnoxious things, but uses it for even worse things. 

He said his usual rude and hurtful things, but he thankfully didn't lay a finger on me. He's done enough damage to me, my arm, and now my cut up face from being pushed into the glass. 

His regular words hurt me more than usual this morning, I don't know why.

But, at least I don't have to fake a smile on my face for Beth. She now is aware of my pain. I'm somewhat glad she showed up to my house Friday night in the middle of all that. I can be myself and gladly express my emotions towards her. I'm happy we're being honest with each other now.

I drove to Beth's to pick her up for school since I give her rides now. We drove over and made our way to school. During the car ride I was actually able to rant to her and it was so satisfying to let everything out and have someone who actually cares for me.

We made it to school and pulled up and parked right next to Ethan and Grayson sitting in their car.

Ethan and Grayson looked to their right and noticed we pulled up next to them. I shot them a smile through the window, Grayson smirked at me and Ethan awkwardly gulped and looked down, ignoring me. The smile I gave was a little fake, because of my shit morning.

"Ready?" I said to Beth as I unbuckled my seat belt.

Beth uncomfortably smiled and nodded her head and we both exited from my car, and so did the Dolans.

"Mornin- Wow! Your face?" Grayson said as the twins walked up to Beth and I.

Beth and I sat on top of my back bumper of my car and I interlocked my hand with hers, I noticed Ethan's eyes slightly twitch once I did that.

"Tripped on some glass at home," I lied to them, but I felt Beth's hand squeeze me for comfort.

Ethan cleared his throat, "You guys seem happy..."

He was saying as if we weren't supposed to be.

"Well, we're being a lot more honest with each other," I said as I playfully nudged Beth's shoulder. She once again gave me an uncomfortable smile and nodded her head.

Ethan's eyes slightly widened, "Oh... so you know?"

Beth immediately stood up from her sitting position and took my healthy hand to drag me along with her, "I totally forgot... I need to speak with Mrs. Stro before class starts. Come on, Damien."

"Know what?" Grayson asked confused staring at Ethan.

I glanced over at Beth as she was trying t budge me from my sitting position and she was slightly shaking her head from side to side as she gazed at Ethan.

I snatched my hand back from her aggressively out of confusion, "Yeah, know what?"

Beth furrowed her brow, "I don't know what Ethan is trying to say."
