Amys POV...
So we finally got home from joeys swim meet, after we found Lauren it was like 14 minutes after we shouldve been home. As soon as we got home, Lauren stormed up to her and Christinas room, and slammed her door. Christina couldnt get inside, and she was confused. I heard Christina yell "Lauren open the door please".. Christina was trying to find any excuse to get into their room. She even used the exucuse "I need to look at my scrapbook of Nick and i".. Pathetic!! Lauren never let her in all lauren said was "Go away, im not letting you in, and you dont wanna see that, thats just a pathetic excuse for wanting to get in here and quesiton me" Lauren said. So Christina marched back downstairs to get lisa.. Aka the only girl in our house, who has managed to learn how to unlock a door with a bobby pin. In this house, its kind of like a survival skill. If you dont know how to do that, you're pretty much out of luck, when your other sister locks the bedroom door for privacy. So Christina and I just decided to watch Safe Haven, we figured since it was Laurens favorite movie, maybe if she heard Katy(Julianne Hough) talking then she would come running downstairs. She doenst like it when we watch safe haven without her.
Laurens POV...
So i heard Safe Haven playing downstairs. Amy was obviously trying to get me to go downstairs, but i wasnt falling for it. I wasnt stupid, as much as everyone liked to think i was. Suddenly i heard Dani and Lisa talking in the hallway. I heard Dani say that someone told her that i was a freak, and a looser. Then i heard Lisa say that someone we knew called me an ugly looser who doesnt deserve to live. I started to cry. Crying was for the pillows, at least in my perspective. I didnt like to cry in front of other people. Suddenly i got up and went to the other side of the room, to look in the mirror, and make sure there werent any signs of tears, based on the fact i just had been crying for an hour. I walked out of my room, and into the bathroom. As i stepped into the hallway, dani looked at me and said "Oh i see you finally came of your cave".. I looked back and said something i would never say "Oh and you finally broke your moddo of never talking about someone behind there back". After i snapped back at her, she gave me a very angry look and walked down the stairs. I proceeded into the bathroom, took the straight razor that Alex uses to shave his mini beard every once in a while, pulled my pant leg up and cut three small slices in my ancle. I put the water on in the tub, and sat there as if i was in a bath, but really i was trying to stop the blood. Since it was winter, i figured it was better to cut my ancle, so noone would notice. Sure it would hurt like 20 times more but i didnt care, i had a high tolerance for pain.
DANIS POV:
I was a little shocked, by how Lauren treated me in the hallway. As i walked into the living room, i took the tv remote and paused safe haven in the middle to talk to Christina and Amy. I looked at them with the most serious face, and said "Somethings wrong with Lauren".. Amy looked at me with the most horrid face.. "Dani thats really old news, get with the program" She said. i looked at them both, and put my eyes up to the ceiling, and then i raised my eyebrows. "No i meen seriously wrong" i said. Suddenly Christina looked at me. "What do you meen seriously wrong" Christina yelled. I raised my eyebrows again. "She walked into the bathroom, and she pretty much told me off, no curses or nothing like that, but i was shocked" I said. Christina was shocked that Lauren gave me attitiude. Lauren and i got along like two peas in a pod.
Laurens POV:
As i sat in the tub, with the door locked, i started to cry. I was in sooo much pain, both Pysically and Mentally. I didnt wanna show it, i wasnt ready yet. I dont know if id ever be ready. Ready to face the outside world, and ready to feel confident again. Obviously i dont like feeling like this, noone does. When people say things, about you and to you, it hurts bad until you realize how to deal with it. Finally the bleeding stopped, i slapped 3 bandaids on my leg, hoping to cover up al the cuts. as i looked down at my leg, I noticed all 3 cuts covered. "Thank God" I mumbled as to not have anyone hear me. I was gonna walk down to the boardwalk, just above the beach, to get some frozen yogurt. First i needed to get dressed, I decided to put on my white jeans, and my Green Army shirt, and my white knock off converses, i grabbed my bag, and walked downstairs. Everyone was staring at me, i was trying so hard to not to get any questions from anyone, but of course that didnt last long, and sure enough Amy opened her mouth. Amy looked at me and said 'Where are you going missy"... I gave her a blank stare, and said "Mom im going to go for a walk on the boardwalk, and get some frozen yogurt".... Mom and dad just looked at me, and then nodded saying Yes i was allowed to go. So i walked out the door, and went 2 blocks to the boardwalk. I was so happy to be alone, and to think about things. It took me about 12 minutes to get up to the boardwalk, it was only 2 blocks, but my bandaids kept falling off... "I guess i can take them off, i meen my familys not here" I thought. So i took the bandaids off my leg. If anyone asks when i go home, i figure ill just tell them i got a scrape. My family was pretty good at hiding secrets.. Thats what us Cimorellis do best. So i walked into the frozen yogurt, the guy who was working today, was totally gourgeous, so i had a major crush on him, as did 2 of my sisters. Lisa, and Amy to be exact. I walked up to him and said "Vanilla Fro yo, with Gummy Bears please" that was my favorite type of frozen yogurt. I dont know why, i used to come up here all the time with micheal when i was like 4, and he would always order me that, because it was super sugary. Suddenly Dani walked in and i ducked down in the booth so she couldnt see me, and i made sure my leg was covered.
Danis Pov.
So as i walked into the frozen yogurt place, I thought it was funny that i didnt see Lauren at all. I meen, she couldnt have eaten her frozen yogurt that fast, especially with sensitive teeth. I was kind of suspicious about why Lauren would go anywhere alone. She normally wanted to have someone with her. She always loved going out for Frozen Yogurt with Christina, Micheal,k or Alex. They seemed to be the older siblings she mostly got along with. Lauren is more outspoken, she has alot to say, but she never really says it. Shes very sarcastic. Sometimes i worry about her. But i know shes okay on her own. She can take care of herself. Micheal drove me up to the boardwalk, because im not supposed to go up there alone. I grabbed micheal some frozen yogurt, i also got some, and i headed back out to the car. Since i didnt see Lauren, i looked for her on the way to the car, but i didnt see her. "Oh well i thought, this isnt my issue".. I walked back to micheals truck. and gave him his yogurt.
Laurens POV:
After dani left, i figured i better skidattle, before more of my sisters came to the frozen yogurt place. I picked up my jacket, my purse, and made shore my pant leg was still covering up my cuts, and walked out. Smiling at me was the man behind the counter, i am still not sure what his name was. As i left, i asked "What is your name"..... He smiled and replied, "Daniel" I laughed, because i heard Danielle, and i said something totally embarressing. "OMG, my sisters name is Danielle"... He just looked at me, with no expression on his face, and said "Cant you hear, are you def, i didnt say Danielle, I said Daniel, God you're so stupid" i ran out crying.. Daniel didnt even know me, i made an honest mistake, and i got made fun of goshhh. Whats wrong with this world. I decided to go the beach, to just sit there for a while, so that i could get Daniel and those comments off my mind. The longer i sat there, the more i realized i couldnt stop thinking about them. Suddenly a football came flying my way, i tried to duck, but the girl tripped over me. I made sure my tankini was pulled up, because i didnt like showing my stomach, i thought that i was too fat for the world to see. As the girl got up out of the sand, she looked at me and laughed. "What" i said staring back at her... "You're too fat for a bathing suit, thats why i tripped over you" the girl said. Suddenly i got up, with tears in my eyes, and took my stuff and left the beach. I went into the shop where they had the belly button piercing place, and decided to look around. I had $100.00 with me to be safe. I walked up to the man, who gave the piercings... He stared at me, as if i had a problem. "Hi, how old do you have to be to get a belly button piercing without a parents concent" I said to the man. He looked at me thinking i was like a kid or something. "Well, how old are you" He asked looking at me.. As i raised my head up from the rings.. i said "15"... the man gave me a look, like he had never seen a 15 year old so ready to make a decision. "Technically you're supposed to be 18, but since you're so ready ill do it".. I smiled at him, picked out a belly button ring, and hopped up where he was going to pierce a whole into my body. I was scared to death, but at least id fit in now ..... Right???
