One Maniac at a Time

the lucky ones

Tara's POV

I sat in my room, picking at the scabs on my wrist, my stitches were finally taken out. I was waiting for another hour to start getting ready. I hadn't seen Bronx, he was with Ashlee at the moment. I wonder what would have happened if I had died. Who would be there to defed Bronx? But who was there to defend me? I don't know how I always think about this. I am jolted out of my thoughts as I feel the rush of blood dripping from my wrist. I exhale in ecstasy.

"Tara where are you and- OH MY GOD!" My Dad says as he began to enter my room but then rushed by my side in an instant.

"Are you kidding me? Why? Come on you gotta get better." He said taking out a bandaid from a kit we had.

"It was itchy I didn't realize it was bleeding." I said.

"Yeah well you gotta quit it." He said. Kissing my head.

"So time to go get ready for your date!" He said happily.

"Okay, get out though!" I whined. He left. I went into the shower and turned to water on hot. My thighs stung like hell when the water hit them. I flinched slightly when I wrapped myself in the fluffy towel I had and went to go pick out my outfit.

I found some faded ripped jean shorts, distessed black tights, a skull shirt with a red flannel ontop over it all and my black choker. I tugged at my lip ring a little, I loved it so much. I have been talking with kyle, well more like texting but he's really nice and awesome. I add my eyeliner and wing it perfectly. I add a bit of lip gloss and my black vans before throwing my hair into a bun. I was satisfied.

"I'm ready you can look!" I call to my Dad. He smiled. I turned around to add my band bracelets, I can't believe I almost forgot them.

"That's better." I say once I slide all of them on.

"You look awesome Big Bird." He says smiling. I flinch a bit at the sound of my old nickname.
"So what was your first date like?" I ask him. he laughs
"I can't quite remember but I'm sure it was a disaster!" He says.
"Do you think mine will be one?" I ask anxiously.
"Of course not." he says he was chill with the whole 'I'm bisexual' thing. I walked downstairs as my dad grabbed the car keys. I hopped in. We drove in silence most of the time.

"So do you guys need condoms?" My dad jokes.

"Ew, dad we aren't having sex and I'm pretty sure those wouldn't be too helpful if we did." I laughed.

"Just checking." He said laughing. We pulled up to the little cafe where I saw Violet waiting, I felt a flutter of excitement.

"Bye dad." I said jumping out of the car in a heartbeat. I hear him chuckle in the background. The car pulls off.

"Hi stranger." I hear as a feel a soft kiss on my neck. I giggle.

"Nice to see you too." I say turning around and wrapping my arms around her, she has winged eyeliner too and anoce ring.

"Is there a hole in your nose?" I ask. She laughs.

"there are too, but no piercings. But I don't think I can say the same about that ring in your lip." She says. I bite it nervously.

"Don't worry it looks cute and could be very kinky." She says wiggling her eyebrows.

"So let's eat, shall we?" I say offering her my hand. We walk in, there is a side patio, the cafe is freaking adorable. We walk up to the counter and order two caprese sandwiches and two lemonades.
"Wanna sit outside?" Violet asks me.
"Yes it looks to cute." I reply happily. It's relatively warm outside 'cause west coast bitch. there were little tables and lights were strung from balconies above, vines and various flower grew up the walls and there a rustic looking fountain in the middle.
"Okay this is too freaking perfect!" I squeal.
"I know and I have a nice view." violet joked. I blushed violently.  We sat down as the waitress brought us our food and drinks.

"So what's happened since I've last seen you?" I asked her.

"Um, I started back in school, no one really said anything about my absence so that was a relief, not much really, how about you?" She asks.

"Well one of my bullies ripped my stitche sand ruined my bandage. And I-" I stopped myself, I looked at a something behind Violet, someone was appearing.

'don't tell her anything or I'll kill her.' a boy about my age says, he holds a knife to her throat, she notices nothing.

"Um and I got my lip pierced that's it." I say.  She nods, the boy still looks at me.  I go to take a bite from my sandwich. 'nope no food, you'll get fat'  he says, I follow his commands.

"I'm not hungry, my stomach is still adjusting." I told her, she nods.

"So guess what?" She asks.

"You got a unicorn?" I ask.

"nope, my mom is gonna let me dye my hair." She says.

"Oh what color?" I asked her. I didn't pay much attention to her answer, we spent the rest of dinner talking about people from the hospital and such.  Finally we walked outside where my dad was around the corner.  I pulled her in close.  And smahsed her lips into mine, it felt so perfect.  

"I love you." She breathed into my neck. 

"I love you too." I told her. I hugged her goodbye and went and knocked on the window.

"How'd it go?" He asked.

"Pretty well." I replied.  Once we got home I went to my room and closed the door, my Dad said he would come in in a few minutes.  I loked to see the boy.

"Who are you?" I asked.

'what you deserve.' He replied.
