Hearts Intertwined

Chapter 7: A True Friend

"Excuse me, do you need some help with that?" I ask as I watch the red headed girl try and fix her makeup, even though she was still crying.

"Oh...um...no I'm fine thank you." She said as she sniffled a bit.

"No, here let me help you." I said as I took the toilet paper out of her hand. I sit on the counter and turn her towards me. As I turn her face to the light, I see she had been crying longer then just a couple minutes, it looked as if she had been crying for hours.

"So if it's not much of an intrude, may I please now what's going on, because it doesn't seem like you really have friends right now who care enough to come in here and help you?" I asked, sorta feeling bad for being so straight forward and saying that it doesn't seem like she had any true friends.

"Well it's a long story..." She said as I wiped the running mascara from underneath her eyes. I looked in her eyes and could see she was emotionally broke at the time, and I felt bad for her because for some reason I knew it was because of some boy.

"Well I have time, so you might as well get started." I said as I went back to fixing her makeup. At the moment I didn't really care if I missed class, I mean it's not like it's the end of the world.

"Ok, well I have been dating this guy named Tyler for a long time now, and of course, him and I have had some up and downs, but this time was the worst. It all started with this other girl named Elizabeth. At first I didn't really mind them as being friends because they had known each other for sometime, but then it started to bother my because he would leave me at a party or something and go off somewhere and hang out with her instead. So I didn't say anything about it, until he wouldn't return my calls or texts." She said this as she started to cry again and I just told her to stop crying and to continue.

"Well one day I decided to go over to his house and find out what's going on. When his mom answered the door, I asked her where Tyler was and she just said he was out with Elizabeth at a restaurant. I asked her if she knew what the restaurant was called and she told me it was the Cheesecake Factory. I simply said thank you and walk to my car, as I got in I decided I would go and confront him and Elizabeth." As her eyes started to tear up I just smoothed her hair out and urged her to continue, and she did.

"Well, as I got there I saw them sitting together, laughing and holding hands. So, I decided to park my car and go catch them in the act. I quietly creeped up behind them and just put my hand on Tyler's shoulder. As he looked up at me, a tear slid down my cheek and he just stood up and wiped it away, then turned to Elizabeth and said ' I'm sorry Elizabeth, but I just can't.' Well at the time I didn't know what he meant, so I just stared up at him. Well long story short I found out he was dating her and that bitch was trying to get him to dump me. In the end he didn't, so she wants to fight me and I'm not that good at fighting and he is saying that maybe he should just go with her and I don't want him to, so I need to learn how to fight or he will leave me. I'm just so lost and I need help, but at the same time I can't let my parents know what's going on, so now I'm going to loose him!" She said as she started to ball again after I just fixed her makeup. I just looked at her as she leans her head on my chest. As I push her back up, I slap her.

"What is wrong with you?!" I yelled at her, as she stared at me in shock.

"Wh...what?" She stuttered as I pull her chin up and I start all over again on fixing her makeup.

"I'm gonna teach you how to fight." I said as she just looked at me.

"Do you know how? Are you sure?"

"Excuse me?! Do I know how? Now that's just offensive!" I said looking at her in annoyance. "For your information I take boxing and have won every fight so far, so um yes I know how to fight, now do you want my help or not?" I asked as she just stared at me like I was a fairy or something.

"Um... yes of course, I'm sorry. Thank you, you really are a true friend." She said as I turned her around and fishtail braided her hair to the side.

" No problem. I have been in your spot before, it's not pretty." I say as she marveled over the braid. As I take her hand, she asks me if I want to fix my makeup. I looked at her stunned at the fact that she asked.

"Um... no I don't wear makeup." I said to her as her eyes widened like I just told her I killed someone.

"Wow! I'm jealous, your so lucky. Your naturally beautiful. I wish I was." As she said this I just started to laugh at her. She just looked at me with confusion.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not lucky, I'm just myself. I don't need to act or dress up for people. All of that is just a waste of time because you can never please everyone, so why bother." I said as her and I walk out the door hearing the bell ring, stating that it's time for the next class.
