Parashay

Chapter 2

Its 7:30 and I'm a block away from my house. I've been replaying what happened at the studio earlier today continuously like a bad song. My brain has a throbbing sensation from the tears I've been holding back. When I get inside the house everyone is calling my name.

"Where were you?" my mom asks in a calm voice

Rose I gotta tell you" says Kayden as he walks to my room expecting to meet me there after this interrogation with mom.

"I was at the dance studio.. Today was our last day I say with no emotion, trying my hardest not to show my pain and humiliation.

"What s wrong?" she says reading through my mask, I lie.

"Nothing really"

"it doesn t sound like nothing really, and your lower lip is sticking out, try again" she says with sass." well I have a huge migraine if that s what's making me sound this way" I say

Yeah of course from all that loud music you dance to down at that studio with that boy" she says, I sigh mom please don't bring him up I say and look to the floor.

"What happened she says

"Nothing I'm just going to miss him" the words taste like garbage in my mouth. I could just light crispy Holden on fire with my gaze of hatred.

"hmm " she stares at me a little longer then turns her back to the sink" well go on and get some rest , you look weary" she says.

I get to my room and Kayden is sitting on my bed texting. I had the best day ever he says flashing me a permanent smile that won't seem to leave his face. I'm not really in the mood... Can it wait till morning?" I say in a tone he understands. I had a feeling he say then points to my night stand " that s why I wrote you a note while you and mom were talking we'll talk about it later . "Thanks I sigh as he leave the room. I clap my hands twice and my lights turn off. I crawl on to my bed and begin reading Kayden's note.

When she came over she had on this sophisticated dress, at first we didn't know what to do because I didn't wanna mess things up. But then we played video games she kicked my butt any way long story short we ended up kissing and play fighting... And some more kissing =)

a faint smile crosses my lips as I conclude his note with the smiley face. I wonder if this is how my sister feels when she witnesses me growing up like this. I slip the note in my pocket and drift off in to a slumber; after all I did really have a terrible migraine.

I'm up; something is making a noise at my window. My vision is still a little hazy, but I can still make out 11:50pm on my DVD player. I hear the noise again, it sounds like some ones throwing pebbles at my window. I open my window, no one is out there. I shrug and turn to lie back down in the bed. Psst" I hear a little whisper, this is so annoying, I turn back to the window and look out again "I said you would see me today, sorry I'm late" he whispers.

"Are you out of your mind?" I whisper back bewildered, I mean I knew he was weird but not insane. Out on a ledge standing flawlessly is Justin in a black beater and sweats. No doing what I said I would he whispers back.

"you never said a damn thing about no ledge you crazy" he cuts me off" aren't you going to invite me in?" he asks with honest confusion. "Hell no " I whisper with a serious look.

"Why?"

"You forget this is my mother s house?, you just want me to get in trouble nowa days " I say "you won't get in trouble " he says sounding annoyed."Rose Rose Rose he says shaking his head. Next thing I know he pulls me out of my window and before I can scream from the thrill of us falling, he cups his hand over my mouth. I'm surprised at his strength; he has effortlessly landed on his feet with me in his arms. He puts me down and I shove him off," you scared me to death, and how did you do that?" I whisper.
