The girl who walks alone

A Friend?

I woke up with my cat gone like normal nothing to different I went downstairs and found a note. It read.
"Dear Anne,
We will be gone for a few week we are needed for important things.
Love,
Mom and Stepdad
Ps no Cutting." I crumble the note up throwing it away. Why do they always thing I'm cutting than I look at the new scars on my arm. Oh yeah that's why. I go back upstairs and change I put on fuzzy Batman themed pants and a tank top I make breakfast and turn on the tv. After I finish I wash the dishes and sit back on the couch to watch tv. I heard a knock at the door and I went to see who it is. I look thorough the peephole and see blue hair. I open the door and to my surprise it's Jorden.
"Hey Anne it's Jorden I finished with my chores and I wanted to see if we could hang out." Jorden said.
"Um sure." I said I open the door wide and let her in. She takes off her jacket and I notice cut marks on her shoulder and upper arm. She sees that I'm starring at them i blush and look away. I sit on the couch.
"My I sit with you." She asked I nod. Jorden sits next to me looking at my pants then my shirt then my face than finally the TV. I stand up.
"You hungry?" I ask.
"I could eat." I paused the TV.
"What would you like to eat?" I asked.
"Um do you do Grilled cheese?" I nod I see her face light up. I make her a few grilled cheese sandwiches. After she was done I rewash the dishes and sit back on the couch. "Thank you. That was delicious." She smiled I blush and grab the back of my neck. She looks at the cut marks lining my arm. "Did you do it to?" Jorden asks.
"Did what?" I pretended not to know. She holds her shoulder rubbing her scars.
"Cut yourself. And if so I have too." She looks at the ground. I flipped over my arms to show her my marks. She grabs my hand and put it on her shoulder. I felt her scars and her pain. I grabbed her hand and I let her touch my scars, my pain and she could tell some were newer. By the look and the way I winced "So you haven't stopped." I shook my head no. "Why? I hate to tell you but someday your ganna run out of not noticeable places." She said holding tight on my hand.
"I'll tell you when that happens. People don't care about me. So, even my face is invisible." I pull away pulling my knees to my chest.
"But the popular girls sit with you." Jorden looked at me.
"Yeah out of pity and boys." I said burying my head in my knees. She wrapped her arms around my shoulder pulling me close. I looked at the time it was about 2:00 pm."hey what time did you get here?" I asked.
"Um.......11:30. Why?" She answered.
"Cuz it's 2:00 pm." I said. I unburied my head and lay my head on her shoulder. "So um why'd you start to cut?" I asked her.
"Well someone murdered my baby brother but, they blamed my dad. Than, my mom was sent to an insane asylum. Now I live with my older brother, my grandma and grandpa. But that was before my brother committed suicide." Tears were filling up her eyes. "Right in front of me. He told me he loved me and our grandparents and he told me that he'll tell Scout that we love him." She stopped to breathe in. "Than he pulled the trigger splattering his brains." Jorden broke down crying. I took my head off her shoulder and I held her petting her blue hair. After she regained herself she wiped her face. "So what about you?" She asked. All my nightmares flooded back to me all my pain and my tears. "Well my mom and my dad spilt up when I was very young. Than my mom was engaged with my first stepdad but he died by drowning. Than she remarried, both her and my stepdad have been in jail. Next my Aunt Carla." Just her name sent tears to my eyes. "She was my best friend my only friend. But she died next to me." I cried a bit. "That's all I want to tell." I got up and got myself some coffee but when I was walking back I tripped and spilt coffee on her jacket. I started blushing out of embarrassment. "Oh my god Jorden I'm so sorry I should I watched were I'm going I'm extremely sorry." I said as I sit my cup down and pick up her hoodie glowing bright red.
"It's fine." She laughed a bit.
"Here um wait a second." I go upstairs into my room I find a dark navy hoodie. I go back downstairs "I'm extremely sorry. Here you can wear this until I wash your jacket." She put it on. It looked pretty big in her guess she's smaller than me because her finger tips just barely touched the end of the sleeves. She flipped on the hood and it covered most of her face. She looked cute my face grew darker. "Um I hope that will do until I wash your jacket." I pick up her jacket putting it in my Landry pile.
"I like it. This will do." She laughed. "So were are your parents?" Jorden asked.
"Away on a business trip." I said.
"Really that's neat. And you don't need to worry your hoodie fits perfectly." She smiled. I blush. I heard scratching at the door I go see who it is to my surprise it's Apollo he waltz in but stopped at my legs when he sees Jorden. He looks up at me and meows. I nod. He walks over to her jumping up on her lap. She pets his head. "Oh my who's this Handsome fella." He meows.
"This is Apollo but I call him Pollo." I said gesturing to the cat. He meowed.
"Oh he's a sweetheart. Hello Apollo I'm Jorden I expected Anne told you some stuff about me." She looks at me I blush and nod. Apollo meows.
"All good things." I could see him roll his eyes. He started to purr softly.
"Well I have to sadly leave." She picked Apollo up holding him close kissing his head. She put him down and grabbed my hand. I pulled her in for a hug.
"Thank you for coming." Jorden hugs back.
"Anytime. Well goodbye. And goodbye to you Handsome." She winked at the cat. And with that she was gone I slump back on the couch. Apollo meows at me.
"Yeah That was her." I said to my cat. He meowed again standing up. I followed him to the Landry room. I grabbed my bloody hoodie putting it in the washer I grabbed Jordan's jacket. I put Landry soap in it than started it. I went back to the living room. I sat down and turned on the Xbox turning on Netflix. Apollo sat down with me. Then I turned on an Anime. I watched a few episodes than turned it off. "Hey Pollo imma go for a walk wanna come." He looked up at me but shook his head no. "Okay." I put a blanket over my cat. I went upstairs changing into shorts and a black hoodie putting a dark beanie over my blonde hair. I walk out going down the path. "Should I go through the woods or should I just stay in the main path?" I asked myself I knew the right answer. But something told me differently.  I went through the woods despite my better judgment.
