- Few Weeks Later -
'I love the way... The way you loveeee.'
My alarm sang. I swiped my phone to make the singing stop.
I got up roughly and hopped in the shower. I had learned to have freezing cold showers in the morning.
Once I was dressed, I curled my hair and jogged downstairs.
"You ready." My mom asked as she took a bite out of my apple.
"Yeah. Why are you up so early?" I asked, snatching the apple from her.
"Work." She moaned, them got a different apple from the fridge. Beep beeeep!
"Hey, that's my ride. See ya." I flung my backpack over my shoulder and ran to the car.
"You ready for Indy State School." Taylor nudged me as I got in the passenger side. I nodded and set my bag on the bottom of the car floor.
"Hey... Ambs?" Taylor asked as we drove up to school.
"Yup?" I said popping the 'p'.
"At school... We gotta keep our distance.... Mkay?" He looked a little nervous. I nodded and climbed out the car.
Taylor sped ahead of me in the corridor. Was he embarrassed?
"Amberrrr!" Lauren screamed. I ran up and hugged her. Me and Lauren had gotten really close in the last couple of weeks.
"Amber this is Holly. Holly this is Amber." Lauren introduced me to Holly.
"Hey I'm Amber." I hugged her. I saw Taylor walk past and I decided I would walk with him. "Um... I'll catch ya later."
"Hey raggy."I caught up with him. He looked down and stopped.
"Go. Hang out with Holly or Lauren." He tried to shoo me away.
"What's gotten into you!" I asked.
"Hey Taylor. Who's this!" A voice called behind me. I turned around to reply but Taylor beat me to it.
"Some new girl that keeps following me around." He pushed me on the floor. And group of guys crowed round me and laughed.
"Stay away from me you whore." Taylor kicked me in my ribs. Moments later, he left and ran into the bathroom.
No. I didn't cut. I'm not suicidal.
"Hey. I saw what he did to you out there." Holly quietly stated, as I stood over the sink. "He's always like this." She continued.
"He's a JERK." I screamed. And holly patted my back in till I was calm, and ready to face the day.
