Chapter 34

*Taylors POV*

I pulled out my phone and started scrolling through Twitter. I was also wondering what was bothering Faith so badly. I want to help but she says she can't tell me.
I looked to the left and saw that Faith wasn't in her desk. I scrunched my eyebrows wondering where she went but then I heard 'Pubic Hair' from the hallway. I covered my eyes with my free hand and started laughing out of my nose. I took my hand away and she was back in her desk."Vine?" I asked.
"Yep. I think I've been hanging around you too much." She giggled.
"It's okay. You love me." I shrugged with a smile.

The rest of the day went by fast. I didn't want Faith going home to her dad, but I couldn't just take her to my house, she would get beat even worse. "Can I come over?" I asked as she got in the passenger seat. She looked at me like I murdered someone and like I was crazy. "Are you serious?"She asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. I want to help. I promised, remember?" I pointed to her ring on her finger. She looked at it and smiled. "Yeah. You can help me with the chores. Just a warning, my family is not rich. The trailer is falling apart really badly. The floors are caving in and so are the ceilings. And a lot worse."
"So?" I shrugged.
"Im saying I'm not helping you if you fall through the floor." She laughed.
I started the car and pulled out of the schools parking lot. I drove down to Faiths house and parked across the street from her house. We got out of the car and walked towards her house.
"Oh and another thing," She started. "I'm gonna bring my dog out so he can get used to you. I'm not just gonna let you in and have him bark up a storm and alert my dad."
I nodded. "What kind of dog?"
"Pitbull." She smiled walking onto the porch. I stopped in my tracks.

"Taylor it's fine. She won't bite." Dillion said.
"Are you sure?" I asked. I always liked dogs and sense my friend just got one, I really wanted to see it. I'm 13 and I'm the only one out of my friends who doesn't have a dog.
I waited for Dillion in front of his house, and I just stared at the cement sidewalk.
"Sadie!!!" Dillion screamed. A giant dog came running out of the house and jumped on me, knocking me down onto the cement.
"HELP!" I screamed as the dog barked furouciously and snipped at my face. I screamed again. Dillions dad pulled the dog off of me by the scruff of the dogs neck. I backed away and stood up quickly.
I felt my face and blood was dripping down my cheek.

I felt my cheek and shivered. Old memories. Faith came out with a big brown dog with cut ears that looked like spikes. His chest was all white and he was a very muscular dog. Faith held onto the leash for dear life as her dog sniffed me up and down. He barked at me once and it made me flinch.
"He likes you." Faith said with a smile. "Go ahead. Pet him. Viper sit."
The dog sat down and looked up at me with his big brown eyes. I reached my hand out slowly and he started licking my hand with his warm wet tongue. I pet his head and he was extremely soft. I guess not all dogs are bad. "I have to walk him. I'll be right back." Faith said before kissing me on the cheek and walking up the street with Viper.

I finished the dishes up for Faith in the bathroom and then started carrying dishes out to the kitchen and putting them in the cupboard. Faith finished sweeping the hallway, then went to the livingroom, and then the dinning room.
"I only have to sweep the porch and mowe the lawn." Faith said sitting down on the couch on the porch.
"II'll mowe, you sweep." I said.
"Lawn mower is out by the shed."
"Kk."
I walked past the trampoline and went up to the shed and pulled out the red lawn mower. When I finished, my bandana was wet with sweat. I walked up on the porch and Faith was passed out on the couch. I smiled and kisses her forehead.
I checked my phone and her dad was going to wake up any minute. I sent her a text and I left.

"Taylor?" The teacher called my name.
"Here." I answered in a tired tone.
"Faith?"
There was no answer. I sat up and looked around and she wasn't here.
"Oh that's right. Faith doesn't go here anymore." The teacher said.
