to have beautiful thoughts; a well mind

"look what we have here." he said with a smirk on his face. i just picked up my book and kept reading it. then he took my book and threw it on the floor.

"hey what the hell?" i said going to pick it up. "when i'm trying to talk to you, you always listen." he said getting in my face. i pushed past him to go sit back down. "and what if i don't?" i asked not caring what he would do.

he got up and came over to me and pulled out a blade and put it up to my neck. "then it might be a little bloody." he said smiling and then walking off. i finished my milkshake and decided to head back home.

i walked past the street where the curtis' lived. "hey bella!" someone yelled. i looked around and saw it was soda. "hey soda!" i yelled back waving and smiling.

i soon made it back home and just waited until my mom got home. she finally arrived home and she was rushing around the house and was all tensed up. i stayed seated where i was.

i took a quick glance at her and she ran to her room and put her bag down and shut the door behind her. i stood up and then sat at the counter waiting for her.

it was thirty minutes later and i decided to knock on her door. no answer. i knocked again. still no answer. i tried opening the door and it was unlocked.

i slowly walked in finding my mom sitting on the floor with her head in her hands. i decided to sit next to her and not say anything.

i had no expression on my face and i didn't know what to do. then i finally decided to speak up when she had calmed down a little.

"so what did you need-" she cut me off. "do you really think right now is a good time to talk?" she said with anger in her voice.

"well how am i supposed to know? you walk in looking rushing around, don't say a word to me and go in your room and expect me to know everything." i said while i slowly stood up. she then stood up as well.

"don't talk to me like that." she said pointing her finger in my face. i turned around to go to the kitchen and she followed right behind.
"are you even going to say sorry for last night?" i asked standing by the sink. "why should i?" she said with attitude in her voice.

"where is my mom? where did she go? you have changed in such a horrific way i don't even know you anymore. and if you don't remember you hit me in the head with a damn bottle last night!" i said raising my voice.

she came closer to me and slapped me. i held my cheek which was now burning and ready to form a small bruise.

"go find another place to stay for the night." she said pointing to the door. i grabbed my book off the coffee table and the pack of cigarettes dally left me earlier.

i left without saying a word. i walked for a little while until i didn't know where to go. i decided to go to the park and sit on the jungle gym again. i pulled out a cancer stick and took a long drag off of it.

"hey what you doing here this late?" a boy from behind me asked. i turned around. it happened to be ponyboy. "hey. my mom kicked me out for the night." i told him. he climbed up and sat next to me. i offered him a smoke and he politely took it.

"stay at our house for the night." he told me. i shook my head. "i don't want to intrude. besides i will be fine here." i told him.

"no you can't stay out here. you will get jumped in the middle of the night." he told me. he then jumped down. he held out his hand for me to grab. i took it and jumped down next to him.
we started walking towards his house.
