To Be Alone.

I woke up about half an hour before Tate gets up. I don't get dizzy that often. I did a few times while we where swimming but they where not as intense as they where at first. I walk down stairs to get a glass of water. Tate's mom was down stairs somewhere I guess she herd me coming downstairs and said "Tate is that you?"

I looked around for her when I got to the bottom of the stairs and said "No, it's Lexi" She walked into view from the kitchen. "I'm sorry Neva, I just came downstairs to get a glass of water. Then I'm probably gonna have to fight Le or Tate for the shower." She giggled and pointed to the first door upstairs "You can use mine if you want to. I have to go to the school now to enroll you. Have a nice shower sweetie when you get done you can ask Tate where my make up bag is. And you can borrow some of Le's clothes for today and tomorrow. We'll go shopping tomorrow after school." She smiled

and handed me a glass of water. I looked at the clock 5:45. I have 15 minuets till Tate is awake. I walked to the bathroom and looked in the cabinets under the sink for a towel. I found one and turned the shower on. I took about 8 minuets. To shower as I got dressed someone knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Kind of a stupid question. "Your loving boyfriend. That woke up to empty arms. Open the door so I can hug you." "Um. I. Can't?" He whined I giggled

"Why not?" He asked.

"I don't have a shirt. Or pants. is Le awake?"

"Yes but I'm not leaving till I get a hug." I sighed and laughed at his stubbornness "give me your shirt."

"Ok." When he said that I opened the door just a crack and took his shirt. Closed the door and put it on. "That's a little better." I open the door and was engulfed in a hug. "Why did you leave me?" He asked with fake drama putting his hand on his forehead. I laughed. At him.

"So I could shower. I went downstairs to get a glass of water but your mom said I could use her shower. And I have to borrow clothes from Le."

He picked me up and walked to his room there was a pair of black skinny jeans and a purple blouse. "I need your moms makeup bag." He nodded and left. I pulled the skinnys on and not wanting to take off his shirt slowly pulled it off he walked in as soon as I got the blouse on I was still hugging his shirt. He leaned over and looked at me. You can wear one of my shirts if you want." He said sweetly and walked over to his closet. I nodded. He rummaged through his closet for a few seconds then walked back to me and threw his shirt at me. I laughed and looked at the shirt. It was black and had misfits scrawled across it with the misfits scull in white. He turned and faced the wall as I pulled the blouse over my head and pull on the new shirt. I walked over to him. "You can turn around now. Makeup bag?" He put his arm around me and looked at my neck "it's gone. The bruise is gone." I smiled at his attempt to no make up. "I still need makeup." He sighed and handed me the makeup bag. I did my make up.

****leaving the house to go to bus stop.***

"Le gets the car this week. So we take the bus." Tate explained. I stopped walking. "I'm to tired. Will you carry me?"

He laughed and bent over so I could get on his back. I jumped on his back and he carried me till we got to the bus stop.

I hopped off his back and hugged him.

"I'm scared." I admitted. he made me look at him "don't be I'll be with you all day. I promise." He nodded his head at me then kissed me. The bus pulled up and we pulled apart. He got on before me to explain to the bus driver that I was new to the school. Then it hit me. New school. New people. New classes. New everything. I could be who I wanted to be not what people expect me to be. Perfect.

I looked at Tate. "Do you have any friends that are girls on the bus?"

He nodded. "Why?"

"I need eyeliner."
