What's The Point

Part 21~Trying To Help

Max's POV
It was finally Friday and I was getting really anxious about this, by the way Nerris explained things, this girl is obviously not doing so well. I really want to help her, because it can really dangerous to not eat.

Preston's POV
School just finished, and today we're going home with Mr. Hall to try and help Jaden. We see her kissing her boyfriend goodbye and grab the other girl hand. "Are we bringing Sophia?" She gives him a look and says, "Do you want me to smile at all tonight?" He nods his head and tell us to follow him. Once we get to the car, Jaden and Sophia call the very back, meaning the trunk of his truck. Mr. Hall nods his head and tells us to get inter truck. And we do, me and Nerris sitting in the back, talking about the coloring page I colored today.

^Once they get home^

Jaden's POV
I really don't want to be here, I mean what's the point? No matter what anyone says or does, I won't eat. The only one who can actually make me eat is mom, and she's not here anymore. She died, so I have nothing stopping me anymore. Brandon's to weak to actually stop me, and I'm sick of him babying me. I'm fucking 16, now fuck off and leave me alone. Right now me and Sophia are still sitting in the back of the car, she's giving me the answers to all the homework assignments. That's how my group goes, There's Nick, my boyfriend, he's the softy. There's Sophia, the smart goodie twoshoes. And than me, the bad girl, who if you even remotely look at funny, will beat your ass into the ground. Just as I was finishing up, Brandon came out and told us to go inside, I groan, and grab Sophia. Once I walk inside, everyone starts staring at me. "Everyone better stop staring before I WALK home." And everyone looks away and starts apologizing. This really short guy comes up to me and asks me to sit at the table. "Are you the therapist or something?" I laugh and shakes his head. "I'm not a therapist, I'm just really good with kids." "Well than I better leave, because I'm in no way a child." I than start to turn around and head out, but Brandon stops me, and he has his scary face on. "Jaden go sit." I turn around and mutter whatever, before going and sitting down.

Max's POV
Damn, she really is stubborn, even more stubborn than me! And that's saying a lot. "Ok Jaden, what's your favorite food?" "Don't have one, don't like food." I look over at Brandon and he mouths cupcakes. It's a good think Neil just mad cupcakes, I walk over and grab one, and just for a second, I see Jaden's eyes light up. But than go to fear, than to sadness. "Here." I say passing her the cupcake, all she does is stare at it, and than fear strikes in her eyes. Than she starts to hyperventilate. "Why is she having a panic attack!?" I turn around and ask Brandon. "Fuck, I forgot this happens!" And than he runs over to Jaden

^Jaden's flashback^

"Mom, how come we're going to the store?" I ask my mom. "It's your birthday silly, and I thought maybe you'd want to bring cupcakes tomorrow for your birthday at school!" I smile and shake my head and wait till we get to the store

*after they get the cupcakes*

"Mommy, can I eat one now?" She shakes her head yes, and just as I'm about to bite into it, another car rams into our car. I unbuckle and try to get out, I do and go to check on my mom. "Mom? Mom are you ok?" I start shaking her, but she doesn't respond, and her head has a hug gash in it. "NO! NO MOM PLEASE NO! NOT NOW NOT EVER!" But people come and grab me away from her. "PLEASE NO! MY MOM! PLEASE!"

^End of flashback^

Jaden's POV
It should have been me. I get up and run out of the house and start to run to my private treehouse in the forest, no one else knows about it, not even Sophia or Nick. I run there and drink a bottle of vodka and cut my arms up.

Max's POV
What was that? What just happened? "Where'd she go?" The two people she was with both shrug. "She does this every time, I should have remembered." Sophia grabs his arm. "It's been 2 years sense she's had one, I wish I would have remembered too." Than it goes silent, she must run away a lot, because they're really not doing anything. "Well thanks for trying, I'll see you at school kids." And then they leave, like nothing happened. That family is really weird.

Brandon's POV
"Still no answer?" I ask Sophia, who's been trying to call Jaden for the past hour. She shakes her head, I sigh, at least I know she'll come home. And just like the gods heard my prayers, because Jaden walks in the door, drunk, like she always is when this happens. "Jaden, let's get you to bed." She drops to her knees and starts sobbing. "IM SO SORRY!" "Shh, Shh, everything is going to be ok." I bring her into the bathroom and clean up her arms. "I'm ganna go home B, you got this?" I nod my head and finish cleaning her up, whipping off her makeup, and getting her into bed. Than my phone rings

Brandon: *sigh* Hello?

Max: Hey, Nerris wanted me to call to make sure Jaden was ok.

Brandon: I wouldn't say ok, but she's home and alive. Thank you for trying again.

Max:Oh I'm not giving up that easy, I'm hardheaded.

Brandon:*Chuckles* Well thank you.

Max: It's no problem, I've dealt with Nerris, I can get though anything. Any other favorite foods she has?

Brandon: Mangos, she loves mangos. It's like the only fruit she eats now.

Max: Ok thank you, and take good care of her.

Brandon: I will, and thank you.

A.N.~ Right Now, it is currently 1;30 am, and I'm finishing a chapter I started at 6;00 pm. I've worked really hard on this chapter. And yes, I used my brother, best friend, crush and my name in the last two chapters, but that only because I was talking with my mom, and I was like, hey mom think of a last name. Of course she said her own, so I used my brother. Now before you ask, I'm not the most scariest 10th grade, in fact, I'm the most antisocial 8th grader you'll ever meet. So the stuff in this chapter is not true, but that's the end, Bye~
