Why So Cruel

Chapter seventeen

It's been a month since I've been without Jimmy. Without pain.

That's coming to a end.

Well I'm still not going to be with Jimmy, but I have another problem.

Tomorrow is my birthday.

This past month has been wonderful. I've been the happiest I've ever been. Kevin's and I relationship is great. My friendship with the other guys is great. My health is... better. My cast is off. Everything is just great. Also, I'm back on my meds, so my anger problems are less of a problem.

But back to the main topic, I have to leave tomorrow. I did find a job. I make 400 every two weeks. I've gotten payed twice now. The first pay check was only 60, but the second one was 400. I my savings account I have $360.

I've also applied to some colleges. I was able to get a scholarship - a full ride (4 years) to any college I want. I'm just waiting for an acceptance letter or one that states they don't want me there. I applied to colleges out of states. I don't want to be here any longer. I would like to restart fresh. Kevin applied to the same colleges as me. He also has a scholarship. He is luck to have parents that had him a college fund. Between his scholarship and the money saved up for him he well be fine. He also got a job, with me of course.

Yesterday, Xavier's parents was finally able to get the DNA test done. They have to wait about a month for the results. Meanwhile, I just been doing my thing. School, work, hang out with the guys or Kevin, and wondering the streets.

Right now I'm packing my things to leave. I was given 1,000 to help, and I quote, get on my feet. I don't know where I'll be staying. At Kevin's. I don't think so. You know he's not going to take no for and answer. I bet he'll be waiting outside when you wake up. Doubt it.

I finish packing, since I own little to nothing, and sleep for that last time in this house.

I wake up to a shake on my shoulder.

"Wake up, it's time for you to leave." The lady in charge says. I look at the clock. 8:00am.

"You couldn't wait until I woke myself?" I grumble getting out of bed.

"No, you've been here eight hours too long. Time to go."

"Can I have breakfast?"

"I said leave!" I hold my hands up in surrender.

"Ok, chill. I'm leaving. Can I put on some clothes?" I was wearing I tank top and basketball shorts. She grabs my bag, my hoodie, and drags me to the front door pushing me out and throwing my stuff at me, which I catch. Smile and waves farewell as she slams the door. 

"Bitch." I mumble as I put my hoodie on. I bang on the door and she opens it. "My phone and charger is still in there in the night table." She huffs and slams the door in my face. She comes back after I few seconds, gives it to me, and slams the door back again. "I HOPE THIS DOOR FALLS OF THE HINGS!" I storm off down the street towards Kevin's house. And to make this day any better, it was pouring raining.

I see his house and see no cars are outside. I huff in annoyance and try knocking on the door anyway. No one was home. Just great. I pull out my phone and see it was dead. How, it was charging all night? It was probably not plugged it. Wonderful.

I leave the house and start to walk with no destination. I don't really remember how to get to Blake's or Xavier's house from here. And I don't know where the other boys live. Maybe you should go to a fast food restaurant and charge the phone. Great idea. I walk in the direction of town square.

My teeth is chattering, my whole body is soaked, including my feet, my body is shaking and I hug myself to try to keep warm.

"Kindness?" I look to the side and see a police car. Inside was John and William. I wave.
