Mini Foley- Summer Glow Up

20. The long way

The afternoon came and all day i had been avoiding Montgomery. I had no idea what he was being injected with, and it scared me. I had helped Tyler with his photos and made sure he was okay aswell.

"Wassup fuck tards!" I greeted, smirking next to the boys at the lockers. I was staring at Clay and Zach of course. "Hey Angie, when do you testify?" Clay asked, looking through his locker. "I go after Ryan i think, you?" I replied, smiling at Zach. "I dont" Clay told me, shutting his locker. He walked off, leaving me and Zach alone. "So does Monty know?" Zach questioned me. I rolled my eyes. "Thats the last person i want to talk about right now" I sighed, sticking a lollipop that Jess gave me into my mouth.

I walked off, not caring and leaving him to himself. I was pulled aside by a couple of strong hands. "Babe give me fuve minutes to explain" The voice said, pulling me into his chest. "Explain what? That you were fucking injecting yourself with shit? No thanks" I sassed back, snorting a bit.

"Oh come on its not like your so innocent, what haven't you smoked or injected? You are just like Justin"
I paused.

"What did you just say? My brother was the best fucking guy i knew. So you shut the fuck up right now" I whispered so only he could hear. He smirked at me. "Make me" He pulled me back in, crashing his lips onto mine. I gave in, joining him in the kiss. Once he had pulled away i took a second to look at his face. Then i let out a hard smack to his face, sounding like someone clapping.

"Never speak on my brother again" I sternly told him. He nodded, rubbing his face. People around us laughed at him. I flipped my hair, walking away and knowing that i drove him crazy.

I decided to just head home, hopin Seth wasnt there. I walked in, slinging my bag down next to the door. "Your home early" my mom called from the kitchen. "I know" i sighed, sitting down on the sofa.

"I got a call from school a few minutes you saying you slapped a guy- Montgomery De La Cruz i think in the face today" She said, sitting down next to me. I rolled my eyes and scoffed "that wasn't even an actual thing, he's my boyfriend Ma. It was a joke" I stated, flicking through Tv channels. "Boyfriend? Whos got a boyfriend?" A voice boomed, comming in from outside.

"Me, and dont worry about it" I told them, not even looking their way. "What boy would want to fuck you?" He tauned me, scoffing. "Clearly someone, Seth. I could ask the same question to you about women" I stood up, heading to my room. "You think your funny?" Seth asked as i made it up the stairs. "No i think im god damn hilarious actually" I replied, shutting my door and slumping onto my bed.

My phone pinged and i looked at it lazily. A text message read:
"You didn't see shit that night, understand?"

I froze, i knew exactly what they meant. But who was it? It had to be someone who knew but then again, it was on her tapes. I was pacing the floor, freaking out. I had seen her that night, laughed at her aswell. Why the fuck did i leave her alone? I gulped and swiped the message away, calling up the one person i could rant to.

"Hey, meet me at Monets?" I said down the phone. They immediately agreed and i put a light jacket on. I left the house, running down the road and heading to the little coffee shop.

I waited a few Minutes for him to arrive, im pretty sure he'd never been here before. The shop door opend and a little jingle of the bell made my head turn to face it. I smiled at them, feeling safe already. "Hey baby, whats up?" He greeted, pulling me into him and kissing me like we were alone. "Nothing I uh, wanted to see you" I lied. Of course i wanted to see him but something was up. "You saw me like an hour ago??" He laughed, sitting down infront of me.

"I know i just-" i began.
"Cant get enough of me? I know I'm really fucking hot but babe you can't just rely on my looks all the time" He laughed again, making me smile. "Shut up" I replied, sticking my tongue out at him.

"Make me" He smirked.
"Thats my line"

I looked at my sheet of paper before heading into the classroom, looking around for a seat. I sat down next to a skinny boy with black hair. My eyes wondered, spotting a familiar face a seat away. "Angie Foley, its nice of you to join us. Im sure Cyrus and Tyler will give you the run down" Mr porter spoke to me, smiling at me.

"No its all good, im sure the almighty Angie Foley can deal with everything just by herself" Cyrus spat back, staring at me. "Yeah i dont need help from the Punk Rock Princess o Liberty high. Although if i need to cut my toes off because i become fucking insane and all emo then I'll know where to find her" I sassed back, opening my book.

The classroom went silent and nobody knew what to say. I snorted and let out a laugh along with Cyrus. I punched his shoulder and pulled him towards me, ruffling his hair. "Dude its been forever!" I stated, freeing him. "You're the one who left me at fucking Middle school" He clapped back, frowning.

"Well im sorry that i had to move, its not my fault" I laughed. I looked over at Tyler who looked very confused. "Oh, we used to go to School together back in 7th grade" I explained, smiling at him. "Still likes to doodle though" I continued, poking at Cyrus' s book. He was really talented.

I got home on time this time, putting my bag down on the same spot. Nobody was home and so i felt relaxed. I stepped on some post and looked through it, knowing that they were all probably fines and police stuff for mom. I spotted a smaller piece of card, a postcard. I read it and started to tear up. I ran to my room, a choking feeling rising in my chest.

"To baby bear,
My thoughs are filled with you
I hope i see you again
Love, big bear"

"Justin?" I questioned,looking at the postcard. I sniffled and wiped my nose, tears running down my face. I smiled and laughed, he was alive. I dont know where. But he was alive.

Flashback

"Dude, Justin you need to stop protecting me all the time" A little girl with dirty blonde hair said to the taller boy infront of her. "Angie im your brother, I'm always going to protect you. You're only thirteen you shouldn't be getting into fights like this" He explained, hugging her. "You're like a little baby bear. And im the big bear. I love you" He continued. The girl looked up and smiled at him. "I love you too"
