Messed Up

My life is messed up. Been living with my aunt ever since I was 6 years old. Why you might ask, because my parents were abusive. I had so many scars and had to lie to my best friends Jeremiah and Jerome about where my they had come from. My name is Ariella by the way or Aria for short.

"It's nice outside," My cousin Taylor said. He wanted to go outside again.

"I can see that," I answered scrolling through my news feed on Facebook.

"Can you play basketball with me outside?" he asked pulling on my arm. He had a strong grip for a 9 year old.

"Fine."

"YAY," He yelled and ran to go get the ball.

I just rolled my eyes. Things that please little kids. I'm 19 you see, nothing pleases me.

As I walked outside into the nice summer air, I could hear the kids by the park.

"That'll teach you!" I heard one of them say. I also heard a loud thud.

I looked over at the entrance. There was a boy there, looked about 13 laying there on the stone path.

I glanced at Taylor to see if he was okay for a minute or two. "I'll be right back," I said to him before running up to the boy.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah," He said weakly.

"You can come over to my house, I'll get you cleaned up," I picked him up gingerly before he could protest.

"AUNT NANCY!" I yelled at the door.

"Yes," she replied as she opened the door.

"We've got another one," I set the boy down on the couch.

"What happened this time?"

"I don't know I got out there as they were leaving." I glanced at the boy, "What's your name?"

"Nick," he coughed out.

"Nick, what happened?" I asked and looked him up and down. I saw a few scratches on cheeks, a few bruises on his legs, a long gash down his arm.

"I just told them they weren't allowed at the park anymore, I was on watch for them you see."

"Mhm," I said as I bandaged up his arm. "Did you get bonked on the head?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"I got it from here," Aunt Nancy mumbled.

"Really?" She almost always left me with the people, especially when they are bleeding a lot.

"I'm good," she answered ushering me upstairs.

"OK," I yelled over my shoulder as I ran up to my room.

"Back to Facebook," I said to myself.

I checked my facebook and discovered that my best friend Jeremiah was online.

Aria:

Hi Jerry :)

Jeremiah:

Hi Air

Aria:

I'm stuck in my room until my aunt's done cleaning  up.

Jeremiah:

You can talk to me :)

Aria:

That's what I was planning on weirdo, so what you doing, how was your day?

Jeremiah:

I spent some time with Nayana today :)

Aria:

Ooooooh Details!!!!!

Jeremiah:

We hung out at the water park. Made-out a little behind the water fall, nothing to cereal.

~ Insert awesome conversation about different kinds of kisses or something like that :P ~

"ARIELLA, TIME FOR WORK!" I heard my Aunt yell from downstairs.

"OKAY!" I groaned. It's not that I don't like work, I love working with those crazy people.

"I'm driving you today," Aunt Nancy said as she walked into my room.

"Okay, why"

Aria:

Gotta goto work. :) Bye! Love you! ♥♥

I sent that and then logged out.

"You seem kinda tired after carrying that boy, thought to help you out...." She said not looking at me.

I was gonna say he wasn't that heavy, but, hey, I'm getting a free ride.

"Okay, thanks," I walked into the living room and grabbed my phone off the table.

As we got in the car I scratched my leg on the door. "I need those paper towels in the back please."

She passed me them and I lined the seat with them. Wiped off the remaining blood and wrapped the wound as my mom pulled out of the driveway.

We were silent most of the way except for me telling her straight here, turn left, right.

"Thanks mom handed her the bloody paper towel.

"No problem, Ariella, are you sure about this place?" She wrung her hands.

"What's the matter with it?" I asked. I mean, I know it's an old building, but it's safe.

"Nothing, have.....fun," She said getting back into the car and driving off.
