"Did you ever really care,
How much I cared about you?"
Lace sits on the pavement of the bus stop with her head in her knees.Her headphones were blasting Bee's favorite songs, all of which were from the sixties. Lace looks down at her bright yellow sneakers as her mind trails off.
"I swear,you have every color of converse that I've ever seen." Bee chuckles as Lace goes shoe shopping with her.
"I do not!" Lace was showing her a pair of heeled converses that she wanted to wear for the dance.
The rumbling of the bus snapped Lace out of her trance. Lace takes a deep breath in and steps onto the bus. All the noise stops on the bus and everyone looks at Lace astonished. Lace never wore earrings or any other type of accessory. Lace walks to her usual seat, right next to Jonah. He gives her a sorrowful look,
"Hey princess. How ya doing?" Jonah tucks a hair behind her ear as Lace gives him the french dessert wordlessly.
"Is this for me?" He asks and she nods, looking up.
"Oh, angel." Jonah murmurs ,
"Should you have come to school today?"
"I wanted to see if Val felt guilty. I can't tell the police because his father has strong connections" Lace signs, sighing in frustration.
"If you want to do that then I have to stay with you for all of your classes to make sure that you don't pummel Val" Jonah says as Lace gives him a quizzical look.
"How would you do that"
"I have a couple favors with the staff" Jonah smirks and Lace shrinks back into her shell subconsciously.
"Did you tell your mom about Bee?" He asks, getting a shake of the head from Lace.
"I have no proof and she would probably tell her family" Lace shakes her head at the thought and puts her head on Jonah's shoulder. At that time Val steps on to the bus. He walks right next to Lace whose head is on Jonah's neck. He looks over to see that Lace has tear stains that she wipes away seeing him. Val becomes enraged seeing his princess crying.
"Sugar Doll" Val sings out hoping to catch Lace's attention but failing.
"Sugar Doll" He says more sternly, catching Lace's attention , making him smile.The bus stops and as Lace walks out the backdoor she signs,
"Piss off" and gives him the bird, leaving Val stunned.
