He laughs also. "Do you want something to eat? You missed lunch." He says, still playing with my bracelet.

"I mean, I guess." He puts the bracelet up in the light and gives it to me.

"There! All better. Be careful with it though," he winks and smiles. I blush.

He picks up his coat and packs up his tools. "Ready?" He says still packing his last few things.

I stand up and nod. He picks up his stuff and we walk to the car. We get outside and he opens the door for me. I smile and get in.

He shuts the door once my whole body was in. He gets in and puts his few last things in the back of the car. He starts the car and turns on the radio to the 'hits 1' channel.

I start to mouth the words looking out the window.

I can't stop thinking about my mom. And what she was thinking her last few seconds. I'm afraid she was thinking about what would happen to me and my dad. My mom would be torn if she saw my dad drinking so much. She wouldn't want any of this, I need to change my dad and his ways. I need to start being nicer to people. And change my life style.

A tear runs down my face and I feel a lump in my throat. I wipe away the tear and swallow the lump.

Jonah pats my thigh. "You ok?" I look at him then my thigh. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" He looks at me.

"I know your not ok. Tell me." I sigh.

We enter Taco Bueno (it's a southern restaurant if you guys don't know what I'm talking about)
and I stay silent. I told him what been going through my mind.

We order our food and sit down. "I'm sorry for what's been happening to you lately," he says as he sighs.

"It's fine. The only thing that been hurting me out my friends. They always seem 'busy' and I know they're not. July has a new boyfriend and she didn't even tell me. I found out from her phone. Then my 3 best guy friends told me they like me and now one of them hates me. It's so hard to handle all of this in a span of 2 weeks," I state.

Our food comes and we stay quite. I could tell he was thinking. "Well, if you need anything..... I'm here for you."
"Thank you," I say as I finish my food.

I walk down the halls with my head down low. I haven't really talked to anyone but Jonah these past few weeks.

Rumors been going around that me and Daniel fucked and I was just a rebound. Don't know if that's true though.

I walk past a few people and hear them whispering. I use to be bad ass, what happened?

I look up for a few seconds to see who was talking and then look back down. Daniels still in the coma and I'm planning to see him. I know Jack as apologized to his family and offered to pay for the bills, but Daniels parents wouldn't let him.

I mean they're just wonderful people I generally, they don't deserve this.

Skyla has been going to a online school for a while now. She says she planning to come back and July finally told me about her boyfriend. Which not to mention, he's 20 and has a 4 year old daughter. July takes care of her when he's at work at night, I haven't met her yet.

I've seen her on Instagram and she adorable. July moved in with her boyfriend; Gavin. Me and her have talked on the phone but she doesn't have the time to talk because she's always taking care of her boyfriends daughter, Delilah I think is her name.

But Zach doesn't talk to me because I told him I needed some space, same with jack. But I mean that's all.

I walked down a little further and run into someone. I look up through my hair and back once I see it's Annie. I go around her since she didn't move.

"Awwwwww the little bad ass of the school is now officially the weirdest. How come?" I just keep walking and I hear the sound of footsteps jogging behind me.

She stands in front of me. "How. Come?" She asks. "Leave me alone." I saw trying to get away from her. She puts her arm out and stops me before I could even move.

"I know. It's cause your life has fallen apart." I look up and she smiles. She puts her arm down. "You can run, but's knows it's not the last time you'll see me," she says whispering in my ear.

Ever since Skyla left Annie has been the most popular girl in school. And I'm the weirdest.

I wish my life was better than this.
