07 - emo playlist

the next day, i woke up and felt like doing nothing with my face. however, once i walked into my bathroom and flicked the switch, i saw the bites and bruised marks luke had given me the day before.

"fuck" i mumbled and my fingers touched some. now i do gotta put makeup on.

i brushed my teeth, straightened my hair and loaded up on high coverage concealer and foundation around my neck to make sure i was covered.

just for extra measures, i put a hoodie on so no one could really see the marks. i paired it with my leggings and checkered vans.

once i was done getting ready, i made sure matty and grey were up and ready to go after eating. they were combing their hair and brushing their teeth so i headed downstairs to prepare their cereal.

two bowls were placed with a spoon and i poured their cereal. matty ran down the stairs and sat in front of me. i poured his milk.

"where were you all day?" he asked, shoving lucky charms into his cheeks.

"i studied and ate with a, uh, friend." i said and got out a bowl for myself.

"oh. okay." he said. grey came down after we hurried up breakfast. once we were done we dashed and were out the door.

"leia," daisy said, walking up to me with a worried face as i was putting my chem book away in my locker. "everyone is talking about you and luke. well as in everyone, the thots." she whispered.

"why?" i furrowed my eyebrows, shutting my locker.

"because, apparently someone saw you at panera yesterday in line with him." she unlocked her phone and showed me tweets and photos someone took of us.

"we didnt even do anything." i said, however that really wasnt the case. i started to think about when he shoved the tracker down between my legs.

pay attention leia, not the time to daydream.

daisy shrugged. "all im saying is that someone might come for you." she said softly as we walked to michaels locker.

"whatever. they can do what they want. its not gonna bug me." i shrugged.

we made it to michaels locker. he stood there, typing vigorously on his phone. "who ya textin michael?" i asked and hovered my head too now over his phone. i looked at the top and it read 'crystal 💘'

"BITCH YOU GOT HIS NUMBER?" i screamed, a quiet scream tho.

"HELL YEAH I DID!" he grinned so big. daisy, michael and i danced around in happiness that he finally was talking to the girl of his dreams.

"so what happened? give us the tea." daisy smirked.

he took a deep breath. "okay so you know how i had to cover? yeah well, happened to be during her shift and we were the only ones working. so when it was closing time and we were stocking up games, we started talking and kinda flirting, i dunno. and then i got her number! we've been texting nonstop after." he said all that with no breathing. what a man.

"thats great michael! im so happy for you." i smiled and hugged him. he hugged me back, squeezing my body. "join the family hug, dase." i smiled and pulled her in too. we all hugged and laughed before the bell rung and we had to part our separate ways.

god i love my friends so much.

just as per usual, i dashed out of campanelli's as fast as i could, making my way to my car.

i looked at the tree that the famous luke hemmings would hang by, this time not alone. he was making out with some girl, which i couldnt help but feel a bit-hurt?

my face began to radiate heat and i felt tense. i thought he said his in the car last night. chewed on my bottom lip and just zoomed past the tree, staring at the floor the whole time.

as normal, i got in my car and drove to pick up the kids. however, today i played my emo playlist because i was currently feeling sad and just wanted to sulk all day.

with my hood over my head and my music blasting, i drove to get my brother and sister.

today was a quiet day and i just didnt want to talk. so instead of the car being filled with voices, the car was filled with the sounds of artists singing their hearts out.

when we got home, i quickly cooked them dinosaur chicken nuggets and ran upstairs and laid in my bed, continuing to play my emo playlist.

an hour has passed and i thought of something. should i or should i not?

i should.

so, i grab my bag and go downstairs. "kiddos, you wanna go visit aunty chelsea?" i asked.

"yeah!" they cheered in unison. my aunty chelsea, my moms sister, was the best aunt in the world. she didn't live far from here so i could drop them off and continue with my plan.

they got on their shoes and a few toys and we drove to her house. luckily she was home and happily would watch them. "where are you going, leia?" she asked as i stayed and the little ones ran inside.

"i-i gotta run some errands and i just wanted to do them alone." i said and scratched the back of my neck and gave her a smile. "you know.. they can be a pain in the ass sometimes."

"oh, okay then. did you let your mom know their here?" she chuckled and i nodded. i had shoot her a text before we left that they were there.

"yep. ill get my things done as fast as i can. thank you aunty chelsea." i hugged her and she smiled saying 'no problem' i said goodbye and got in my car.

and i drove to baskin robbins.
