P.O.V - JAMIE
⌲
"Okay later ama, I gotta go" I say quickly not wanting to injure myself. "Mijita no manches ¿estás pendeja? y mira yo no quiero no pin-" I rapidly hang up the phone, uninterested in hearing more of her complaints.
I put my phone in the back of my jeans. I hum along with my music playing through my headphones. I stop my bike at the sight of someone- a girl unpacking boxes. Not only washer body captivating but what caught my attention was that she reminded me of my childhood. I just had to talk to her, help her. I walk over to her, flash a smile and ask her if she needs help. She looks me up and down as if she's checking if she can trust me. "Sure, thanks" she replied. I carried two boxes full of books and clothes.⌲
"So what's your name ?" I asked after we finished moving all the boxes. "Ahh my name is Delilah. What's your name ?" She said. "Oh my name is Jamie." I reply, my eyes roaming her body. I started unpacking the boxes, helping her with her items. "What's your last name?" I ask, carefully placing her glasses in the cabinets. "My last name is Johnson." The moment I heard that my slippery hands dropped one of her glasses, causing it to shatter everywhere. "Delilah Johnson?! Do you remember me? We grew up together until I moved away. I thought I'd never see you again!" I said without thinking. Once she processed what had just happened she pulled me in for human connection, a nice warm hug. The scent of her caught me off guard. The scent of strawberries. "I missed you!" She shrieked. She has a high pitch voice. "How have you been?" " It's been so long." " I missed you, you left without saying anything you asswipe." "You fucking butthole why did you leave?!" She said rapidly without breathing. "slow down, damn. I've been okay I guess can't complain. I missed you too, yeah I know. Yeah I'm a butthole, family moved without saying anything." I said.
I felt the piercing sound of a message being received on her phone. She checks it quickly and says "I have to go" with a faceless expression.
Just a minuete ago she looked full of excitement and light. I pondered and wondered what could've happened as I rode my bike home.⌲
When I entered my house I hear the shrill shrieks of my mother screaming at me. "DISGRACEFUL!"
She screams in English, most of her English is taught by the drama shows she watches on Netflix.
She slaps me, it stings across my red face. I back up, and land on the couch stumbling and falling trying to get away from my mother.
She beats my face until I have a black eye and a bloody nose.
After she finished beating me I ran to my room in hope of a better tomorrow and slowly drifted into deep sleep.⌲
I wasn't woken up by my mother beating me thankfully. I found it rather strange so I walked down stairs and wondered around in search of my mother, who was no where to be found. I started making cereal then my phone rang from upstairs. Startled by the ringing I drop the milk and spoon.
I prance up stairs in search of my phone.
I quickly read the screen and it said "I'm at the hospital, if the house gets messy you'll end up in a hospital." I gulped. I already made a mess down stairs, I spilled milk.
Walking down stairs cleaning the milk I begin to think "where do I stay now?"
I know my mother would tell me to move out for a little while till she gets out of the hospital. I hear my phone ring. I look at the screen "You have five minuets to get out of my house slut." Fuck I knew it would happen.
I grab my items and ride my bike to the end of the road.⌲
I show up at her door knocking. "Can I stay with you for a few weeks please?" I said pleadingly. "Of course!" She replied rather hesitant. "Babe who was at the door?" I see a pair of arms wrap around her waist.
Dirty blonde hair next to her head, kissing her neck unaware of my presence. I stand at the doorway with ignorance. She generally pushes him off, clearly uncomfortable with his presence. "Babe stop being a buzzkill." He says rather roughly and aggravated. "This is Jamie, she's going to be staying with us." She says politely moving out the way, motioning me to come inside.
He grunts and moves out the way. I walk inside and I'm greeted by a rude shoulder bump by her "boyfriend." Oh fucking shit I'm going to kill him. "So why is she staying?" He says aggressively. "I don't know. Just chill out." She replies uninterested in what he has to say.
I take off my hoodie that was covering my face, finally face to face with them. Delilah sheiks as she sees my face. "What the hell happened to you?!" "Who did this to you?!" "I swear to God!" "Get me the fucking first AID kit !" "Does it hurt if I touch it?"
All her questions surrounding me I just pass out uninterested in lying to her.⌲
