A Sacred Love

(Tuesday)

"Martha! I'm taking the dumbasses to school." Adrian's dad yelling through the threshold of the front door. Adrian just looks down rubbing his hands against his jeans while sitting in the car.

Softly humming to himself, Adrian just wants to get this day over with. Last night was already a mess. Omarion, sitting in the back of the car is still quiet.

Suddenly words were spoken from Omarion. His words were a sign of relief for Adrian.

"Why don't we have our own fucking cars? And you're parents are sociopathic."

Adrian chuckles and turns his head towards the house, watching their parents bitch and complain about something petty.

"They're your parents too, you dumbass" Adrian's words put a small smile on Omarion's face. His mood seems slightly better from last night.

"This is your first day at public school bitch. Don't go around hoeing Adrian!! You'll be the next Katie" Omarion laughs as if nothing happened last night.

Finally after 20 minutes of arguing, their father gets in the car mumbling to himself.
Adrian and Omarion, looking at each other, laugh lightly.

Adrian and Omarion quickly look down at their phones, trying not to be apart of the drama between their parents. They both know that getting involved is a bad idea.

Before they drive off, Martha, a drunken mess runs up to Adrian's side of the car. She begins to bang on the glass with two lunch bags in her opposite hand.

Adrian sits there for a second before rolling the window down, looking at his step mother. She smiles slightly, which was unfamiliar to the brothers. Then the words that escape from her lips brought a shiver to their spines.

"I love you guys." Her smiles becomes distorted, the smell of wine and cigarettes on her breathe stronger and her words seemed like sharp daggers, piercing both their chest.

The car was quiet until Omarion finally breaks the silence. As soon as she walked off his words escape from between his lips.

"Yeaaah we're all about to die" His words made the entire car burst into laughter as they drive off.

"You sure you don't want me to show you around white giant?" Omarion, whose leaning up against the lockers looking up at Adrian, snickers a tad.

Adrian's face showed that he wasn't even paying attention, completely lost in thought. He pats his brother's shoulder and nods slightly as he walks off. Omarion just stands there unfazed by Adrian's demeanor.

The "oous" and "aahs" sweep throughout the entire hallways, all the girls are just amazed and confused by Adrian's appearance. The black Metallica shirt, black beanie, black ripped skinny jeans, black and white Converse, all of this was new to the kids at the school. Since the school has very few dress codes, kids basically wear whatever they want. Adrian, to most, was dressed very "emo-like." As he's walking, he notices that no one is dressed like him. It gives him a sense of uniqueness but also isolation.
