Things Get Better

Awake

I woke to see a new person talking to Alii. He turned to me.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"You sound so cute." He said and I ducked down and blushed.
"Sorry if  I made it awkward."
"No it's fine it's just... I got made fun of a lot because of that."
"Sorry." He said again I looked down at my arms and saw the cuts, they were also on my chest but I could move better. I look to see Tranid sitting in a chair in a corner.
"My brother doesn't really care for people, but he seems to like you." Alii said taking a sip from her coffee.
"Do you fell okay?" The guy said.
"Good, it still hurts but its not as bad."
"That's good. You'll have to go through physical therapy before you can go home though." He said. Wait does that mean.... nobody knows where I am.
"Do my parents know about me being here?"
"No."
"Shi-"
"Don't swear I'm my house please." Alii said before I could finish my word.
"Sorry."
"It's fine." She said and I looked at the white wall. I saw Alii and other people in picture frames. People looked like her, there was two girls and two boys. I pointed to them and asked.
"Are the people in that picture your siblings?" Alii looked at the picture,
"no they are my children."  She said I looked at them.
"They look cool. My brother would have a crush on most of them." I said and she looked at me and laughed.
"Which ones?"
"Well any he's bisexual."
"I am too. But I'm more interested in girls."
I looked away and the guy said.
"Okay let's get you walking." I looked at him sacred.
"Don't be scared I've done this multiple times." Multiple times?! Whatever! I slowly moved my legs to the side and the guy helped me up. I moved a leg in front of the other one. I walked for a few steps and fell.
"Agh!" I screamed in pain.
"It's okay come on get up." He said and I nodded.
"You never told me your name." I said.
"Tomo."

It grew dark and I fell asleep. Alii, Tranid, and Tomo left to sleep. I woke up an hour after I fell asleep. I got up and tried to walk myself. I fell multiple times but I got a hang of it. I raised my arm up it hurt but I put it on a bar and the other one too.

I grasped it and tried to pull myself up. It stung but I kept trying. Ash must he terrified... I really need to get to her.

I got my cloths and walked upstairs. Tranid was there an the couch. I slowly crept to the door and opened it.
"Goodbye Tranid." I whispered. I didn't know how to get home and I looked over to the bar next door. I saw Jaren and ran over but stoped. He won't help because of Trent.

I walked in anyway.
"Jaren!" I yelled he looked to me and glared he walked over to me.
"What Do you want? You look like hell."
"I just got back." I said "Jaren where is the school?"
"So you can set it on fire?" How dose he...
"IT WAS YOU!"
"What ma'am?" He said and through tall the pain I punched him in the face.
"You did this to me!" I yelled
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"You texted me and when I deleted you number you tried to kill me!"
"Your fucking insane!"
"You didn't do this?"
"Yeah! Your fucking crazy!" I grabbed his shirt and pulled him up off the ground.
"Where. Is. The. School.?"
"Come with me." He said and I followed. He opened his car door and said get in.
"Your crazy J.J."
"Get in!" I followed his orders. It reminded me of when he would drive me and Trent home. He is a senior and has piercings on his nose eyebrows and ears.
"Taylor when I made fun of you I was drunk. And when I have to much I get angry. I feel really bad..."
"Really?"
"Yes I miss you guys... do you really want to go to the school?"
"No."
"Home?"
"No."
"Where then?"
"...My girlfriends house."

He stopped and I got out of the car. I saw ash through a window she was crying..
"Thank you Jaren."
"No sweat."
I walked over and knocked on the window. She looked over and opened the window and hugged me. She cried on my shoulder and wouldn't let go of me.
"Where did you go?" She asked.
"To a better place than the hospital."

We talked until she fell asleep. I cradled her and fell asleep too.

She woke me up and she hugged me.
"Taylor what happened?"
"I deleted a guys phone number, he was black mailing me, and I woke to blood."
"So you didn't try to commit.."
"No, I promise." I said "I need to go to my family, I'll be back."

I was almost home then I heard.
"Taylor." I turned to see Tranid.
"Hey."
"What the hell were you thinking?"
"I couldn't stay there long I need my family."
"You could kill yourself."
"I won't."
"Well your wounds don't tell me that."
"I'm stronger than my wounds."
"You god damn Gemini's." He whispered
"Go away. You saved my life but I need to show my family. If this happened to you wouldn't you want to see your parents?!"
"I don't have any." I looked at him and walked away.
"Don't die."
"I won't." I said and kept walking.

I saw my house and started to cry. I ran up to the door and pain filled me but I kept myself up. I knocked on the door Trent opened the door. He looked at me wide eyed. His eyes filled with tears and hugged me.
"Hi." I said.
"I thought you were dead.."
"No I'm fine."
