chapter one: sneaking out
I subtly bite my lip as I tap my foot in deep thought.
should I get strawberry milk or not
Oh,how rude of me—I'm Isabella,call me izzy.I have this addiction to strawberry milk,or anything including food,but mostly strawberry milk.
My parents had just scolded me on how so much milk could damage my stomach.but I really need it.They also scolded me on how I can't go back to where I get it from.but I need it.
fuck it
I mumble getting out of my chair and heading over to my coat closet.I grab my white coat and slowly creep out my room,and down the stairs.
if I get caught I'll be stuck in this prison forever
I think to myself quickly sliding on my shoes.I grab my keys and going out the door.
yes.
I smile to myself.
I walk down the block with my hands in my pocket shivering at the cold night breezes.I zip up my coat with trembling hands.
About 5 minutes have passed and I'm finally here.
I walk inside and the lady at the counter,Anastasia,waves at me with a smile.
"Didn't your parents say you can't come back here" says with a slight laugh as she types my order in.
Lemme give you a little context.
Anastasia Lewis.
My best friend since I moved to la.we started talking when I came here for the same thing every week.She's really sweet and is very selfless.We hang out every weekend.Or when she doesn't have to work a shift here.
"Yeah they did,but it's best if they don't know"I say with a smile
I turn to my left and see a guy seated at a table tapping his foot.
I have to admit he was pretty cute.he had black hair,that brought out his blue eyes.he had on a black jacket a white button up and jeans.
poor guy probably got stood up on a date
"Hey Anna,poor guy got stood up" I say with a frown
who would wanna ditch him,look at him
"Poor guy,you should talk to him"Anna said sliding me my milk.I give her 3 dollars and change to pay for it.
I walk over to him and he looks up at me with glossy eyes.
"hey,what's wrong" I say softly sitting next to him
He looks at me and his eyes become more watery then before.
"This girl I really liked,stood me up"He says with a tear sliding down his cheek
"And what's even worse is that I was gonna ask her to be mine tonight"he says with more tears falling
I wrap my arms around him and take him in a hug
poor thing
"It's ok,let it all out"I say as he breaks down in tears on my shoulder
this is the only time I will condone violence but whoever did this can count their days-
He raises up off my shoulder and wipes his nose with his sleeve.
"Sorry,about that"he says sniffling a bit
"It's fine,here,"I say pushing him my milk."strawberry milk can make you feel better"I say with a smile
He takes it in his hand and looks at me.
"what does milk have to do with anything"He says turning his gaze to the milk
"just try it"I say with a slight smile
He takes a slow sip from it and looks at me
"not bad"He says with a smile
"I'm Jaden"Jaden says
"Isabella"I say my smile growing
I check the time and my smile fades
8:25...fuck
"Uh,I have to go"I say getting up
"Oh,uh can I give you my number"Jaden says looking up at me
"Sure"I say handing him my phone
He types it in and gives it back
"Thanks"He says with a smile
"No problem"I say walking out
Anna winks at me before turning around
I walk back home with a fast pace.
I make it back and enter through the back door.
I quickly run upstairs,and into my room,silently closing the door behind me.
I'm so glad I snuck out-
"ISABELLA MARIE GREGG"I hear my mom yell
shit
