Chapter 13

Ariel's P.O.V<3

What the fûck did I just do! What is wrong with me! Was I caught up in the moment? What was I doing? I didn't even think. I just did it! I fûckin kissed BRUCE! Well I didn't kiss ,kiss him. I kissed his cheek! BUT STILL! I-I- oh my god. I don't even know what to do now when I see him! Fûck I'm falling to hard for him.

I made my way towards my room but not before I got stopped by Sam.

"Where were you at?" He asked while crossing his arms.

"I was hanging out with a friend." I said not even looking at him.

"Why?" He spat.

"Ugh. Because I can?" I said holding back my eye roll.

"Well don't. And go get me some more beer." He said while he slurred his words slightly.

"What the fûck. No go get it your self if you want it." I said while walking pass him. He grabbed my wrist and turned me around.

"No because that's why your here so go get it." He said while his breath stank with alcohol.

"No." I spat. I tried to ya k my wrist back but he held it tighter.

"No?" He raised an eyebrow while smiling.

"Yes no. Now" I said pulling my wrist back, out of his grip. "I'm leaving."

"No." He said while he went to grab my wrist but I moved and he fought my hair instead. "Now go get it NOW!"

"Fûck yo-" I didn't get to finish because he punched me on the side of my face next to my eye.

"NOW! Or I will do it ag-" I didn't let him finish because I punched him back and grabbed he's head and pulled it towards my knee and I heard a crack then I kicked him in his balls.

"FÛCK YOU! LEAVE ME THE FU-" he punched me in the stomach then punched me in my ribs then slammed my head on the wall.

I didn't go down without a fight so I got up even if my head was throbbing in pain. I punched him is his ribs, the his face, his balls, his back then punched his throat. Tip always go to the throat. He was on the ground

struggling to breathe.

"FÛCK YOU!" I said then made my way towards my room while holding on the wall for support. I locked my door then I put my chair under the door knob. I made my way towards my bathroom and stripped my clothes off till I was in my bra and underwear. I took a look at myself. I already had a huge bruise on the side of my ribcage, one on my stomach and a black eye forming on my right eye. My bruises are starting to start look blue-ish purple. I touched my ribs to see if they were broken but I hissed in pain. I touched it again but slower, but nothing than bruising.

"Why can't I have a normal life? Why do I have to do this by myself? Jasmine why did you have to leave? I need you and you left. It's my fault you left, and you know it too. I just miss you and how are family was before all this crap."

I made my way towards the shower and hopped in. I was just letting the warm water hit my back even if it hurt. I was probably in there for an hour just thinking of nothing. Blank. Empty-ness. Completely empty.

That's how I felt. I felt like if I was gone, no one would actually miss me. Because my dad doesn't even remember my sister. My mom hardly remembers I'm here endless I go up to her. I know I made some friends, but you act like they can't move on and get a new one. So what am I doing here? Why am I here?

I don't know but I don't want to be here. Sure it's great to live, but what am I living for? What am I actually breathing for? My family doesn't bother to talk to me. I bet Sam told my mom bullcrap. My dad is screwing around so twenty year old. My sister is dead. So what am I doing here? I thought about all this in the shower and got out. I went to closet and put on my underwear and a huge t-shirt.

I laid down and stared at the ceiling. I was debating should I call? I looked at my night stand and saw my phone charging. I grabbed it and dial the number.

It rung three times till they answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Um. Can-can you come over or can I?"

"Yeah. Yeah you can. Why what's wrong?"

"I just need to talk to someone."

"Yeah. Yeah. Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Please. I don't have my bike."

"On my way."

"Okay."

*****

"Wow."

"Yeah wow." I said while sighing and while running my hand through my hair.

"It's not your fault, you know."

"Yes it is. I made her come out and it was my idea."

"No it's not because you didn't know that was going to happen."

"Yeah. I just- I- I just don't want to talk about it." I said looking around the room.

"Okay."

"Thank you." I said and then laying down on her bed. I'm currently at Paulinas house. Once she came and picked me up she immediately saw my black eye and she asked what happen. I told her everything. Everything what happen to my family,my sister, and what happen with Bruce and what happen with Sam.

"Well you're not the only one who got kissed."

"What do you mean?" I asked sitting up and laying on my elbows.

"I-ugh-i sorta kissed Vince?"

"What do you mean you 'sorta kissed Vince?'" I said sitting up with an eyebrow raised.

"Well when you left school me and him bump in each other and we kinda got in a fight then we went to go get food because he said that's his way to apologize. So we went to go eat pizza then we got in a food fight then we kissed at the end." She said while blushing.

"YOU LIKE HIM! DONT YOU!" I said while standing in front of her. But hissing from my rib.

"WHAT! NO ITS WAS JUST A ONE TIME THING AND ITS- I-I MEAN I LIKED IT BUT STILL DOSENT MEAN I LIKE HIM!"

"Oh cut that Steph crap. Just admit you like Vince."

"I can't say shît because you kissed Bruce."

"Don't back fire shît to me." I said pointing at my chest while narrowing my eyes.

"You're the one that started it!"

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did! You're saying I like him!"

"It's true. Did you like how his lips felt?" I taunt.

"Ugh I. Yes." She said while blushing.

"See! You're blushing!" I smiled.

"No I'm not!" She said while covering her cheeks.

"Yes you are! Stop being in denial!"

"FINE! I LIKE VINCE! "

"I knew it!"

"Whatever. It's just. He's different he treats me different, and I like it. I like how he acts even if he's annoying. I just like his personality. I love his smile, he eyes, he's FÛCKIN soft hair. I just like everything about him." She said with happiness in her eyes.

"Then why don't you guys date?"

"I don't know."

"I won't stop you. If he makes you happy, then I'm happy."

"Thank you Ariel. That's means a lot to me."

"I know. That's why we're Bestfriends for a reason."

I got up and hugged her. We broke apart when we heard the window close.

"You like me?"

We turned and saw Vince next to her window. I grew wide eye while I covered my eyes with my hand. I looked to Paulina and she looked shocked. I would be too, he just came in the room like nothing.

"Ugh. I. I. I- how much did you hear?" Paulina said while shifting her feet.

"The part that you like me." He said with a huge grin.

"I-ugh-I-Then yes I like you Vince."

"I like you too." And he went up to her and kissed her. I was in aww moment but then things started to get intense.

"Ugh. Guys."

They broke apart with huge grins and red cheeks.

"So... Does this mean you guys are dating?" I said while I was still covering my eyes.

Paulina looked at Vince then Vince just looked down at her with a huge smile. "Yes. Me and Paulina are a couple now."

"YES! Finally!"then hissed again.

"Oh hush." She said while she looked away with bright cheeks.

"It's true! Okay well I'll leave the new couple alone and I'm leaving. Bye!" I said while climbing out the window even though it hurt like a bîtch.

I made it back to my room and let the darkness in.
