Scars can be Beautiful

Chapter 3

When I exited the school, Mohawk met up with me.

"Don't you have any friends?" I asked.

He laughed.

"Yea, but I thought I'd make you feel comfortable here" he smiled. I smiled back at him.

"How bout I walk you home?" I laughed

"What's so funny?" he said with a smirk on his face.

"I don't live that far..." I pointed out.

"How close?" he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Across the street."

He laughed. Then added,

"How about we just chill here for a while then?" I thought. What would my mom say? She'd be happy that I made a friend. Plus, i'll just text her.

" Ok" I texted my mom and told her that I was hanging with a friend. She replied "yay a friend!" Huh.

We sat down on some steps.

He was staring again.

I felt myself blushing.

"Stop doing that." I told him.

He looked away

"Doing what?" he said innocently.

"Nothing" This was getting awkward.

"So... what's your backstory?" I looked at him finally someone had asked.

"Well, I moved here from a small island with a population of 93. My life was perfect. Absolutely, problem-free.

I had a perfect family. Mom, dad, little sister and brother, and 2 big brothers. My brothers were Erin and Jay. They meant so much to me and they loved me back. It was like having two big sisters. I could talk to them about family, school and..," I looked down at the tatoo on my index finger. It was a star with an R in it, I continued

"And boys..." Mohawk was staring at me. I looked at him.

"What?" I asked

"What does the tatoo mean?" Tears were filling up my eyes.

"Rodger."

"Who is that?" He seemed so interested in me. My backstory. It actually felt good to let it all out.

"Rodger was my, best friend back home. Well, we were more than that. He liked me and I liked him. We just never made it official. Then, one day I heard through a friend that he was finally gonna ask me out. I was so excited that day. Then, the Rollers came..." I was crying now so Mohawk put his arm around me.

"The Rollers is this group of angry people obviously have no point in life. They went around killing everyone that got in their way. I saw them trying to stab a 5 year old so I went and started kicking and punching the guy. Another Roller came up behind and stabbed me. He tried to do it again but Jay got in front of me." I've never said any of this out loud.. It was like a story that i knew all too well. Here I was telling some random person that I just met today in my entire life story. But it felt strangely good to finally let all this out "I closed my eyes until I felt someone fall. It was Jay. I got on my knees and put his head in my lap. He was dying I knew it. He said he loved and told me to tell the others that he loved them too. Just as he was leaving Erin come and saw what had happend. He jumped on one of the Rollers started the crap out of him. Just then, the Roller pulled out a gun. I screamed. Erin had fallen to the floor. I cried and cried until I felt a pair of arms around me. My dad carried me out of there and put me in the car. In there was my mom. my little brother and sister, and surprisingly Rodger. I sat down next to him and he held my hand. As we drove to the airport a roller started pounding on our car we all got out and ran. I carried My sister and my dad carried my Little brother. we ran for what seemed like ages. Then a Roller came out of nowhere and jumped on top of Rodger I screamed and Rodger told me to keep going. So we did. We got the plane and came here. My mom said they were starting out with the small places so she thinks they shouldn't be here in a while. But, I dunno"

"I'm sorry.." Mohawk said

"It's fine I like letting it out" we both smiled. Then he said

"See I told you we were gonna be best friends!"
