Kelsey

I took a deep breath as I walk into my bedroom. Thinking of what had happened today.

I just finished a band rehearsal with the Miracles and it surprisingly turned out great. My family already knew about it and they support me. Although, I can sense my mom is not fully supported with it. She'd never been.

"I wish you can let us do what is right."

Mom's voice rang inside my head repeatedly.

She wanted me to have check-ups again but I just couldn't. I'm afraid of the results.

I stared at my body. Scars of when I was operated were still visible near my chest.

"I just wish it was gone." I said

After the shower, I caught myself staring at the ceiling up above me. Suddenly, my phone vibrated that made me sit immediately and felt a sudden dizziness. After I recover, I checked my phone only to see Bigi's message popping up on my screen.

From: Blanket
Mind having the night out? Just need someone right now.

I sighed, deciding to get an oversized sweater since it's kinda cold right now that the sun has set.

To: Blanket
Are you gonna drop by or we'll be meeting up somewhere?

He never liked the fact that I named him Blanket on my phone but he can't change it either that's why he had let me. Besides, I think the nickname is cute. Plus his father was the one who gave that to him...

"Kelsey?" Dad peeked inside my room only to find me out tying my shoelaces.

"Bigi's waiting outside." Dad informed me.

"Okay dad." I said and I saw him mutter about not going home late.

"Is it alright if I go home before 10:00?" I asked him as I went downstairs greeted by Bigi and Dad both in the living room.

"Just not after midnight, hon." He said

"Do not tire your heart out." I heard him said before I was inside Bigi's car.

He drove in silence and the only sound that makes this ride less awkward is the radio.

"You came fast." I muttered trying to enjoy the sight which is my first time to see.

"Just had a problem at home." My mouth was sealed shut after his answer. Not because this is the first time I heard that the Jacksons have a problem but because of the shock that the person he texted was me. He just met me for about a couple of months only.

"Why me?" I asked now looking at him.

He looked for a second and his gaze returned to the road.

"You just popped inside my head." A smile crept in my face and lowered my head as I fiddle with my sweater. A mannerism I always had.

"Gee." I said silently.

The ride went by with silence as I watch the city lights.

We stopped at a convenient store and I looked at him, completely unsure of what's happening.

"Mind telling me what we're doing here?" I asked

"Just go get whatever you like, I'll pay for it." He said

I raised my brow at him and he just gave me that bored face he always had when he's talking to someone and he don't feel like talking. I sighed in defeat and we both looked around the store grabbing whatever looks delicious.
