Juliana Garrett

"I'm honestly disgusted Juliana, like have some common decency and respect for me and our house. You could've took that shit to his place." Jared said, wiping off his bats as his friend sat on the floor.

"No Jared, it's none of your business what I do with Darren. You can do and go and fuck wherever you please and I'm so sick of this double standard. Kiss my fucking ass." I said, walking out and to my room.

"Try to be a thot on your own time then!" He yelled, slamming his door as I walked downstairs.

I put on a pullover and sneakers before texting Darren asking if we were okay to meet down the street at a park a few blocks away from my house. 

It took me about 10 minutes to walk there and I saw Darren pulling up in his car, parking. I knocked on the window and he unlocked the door, allowing me to sit in.

"Hey." I quietly said, as he looked at the window. "I'm sorry about Jared, Darren. I get that we could've taken it upstairs but it still wasn't appropriate for him to go off on you."

"All I'm saying Juli, is that he was a nice guy at first but he better watch who he talks to. If he talks to you like that yet alone me, ever again, I'm going to break him." he replied. 

I grabbed his hand and apologized again. We sat for a moment in silence before I spoke up.

"So what was it that you need to tell me about before...well, all of that?" I asked.

He sighed and ran his hand through his hair before speaking. He acts like it's a big deal and I'm starting to think it is.

"Spit it out Darren." I pushed.

"Alright! Dio mio Juliana you're going to be the death of me." [My God] 

"So you remember the day you came over my house and I told you some crazy stuff about my family and yours?" He started. "Yes?"

"What about it?"

"That wasn't all amore mio. There's just so much and I can-" [My love]

"What are you avoiding getting to Darren?" I said starting to think meeting him here was pointless.

"Besides your adoption-"

I couldn't hold in the laugh I had from him saying that I was adopted. He threw his hands up in frustration and rubbed his forehead. He appeared frustrated as I stopped laughing and caught my breath at the foolishness he was saying.

"Are you just saying that just so I can get mad at my mom and brother ? There's no way I'm adopted; my mother has pictures of my birth and certificates that say I'm hers and Jared and I are twins. We literally have birth pictures together." I said lightly laughing. "Like come on. You can't be seriously trying to piss me off with these stupid comments."

"You are being so naïve!" He yelled, slamming his hands on his steering wheel and causing me to jump. "I'm trying to help you, trying to let you in on your own life with these big details and you laugh in my face?

"I tell you that you're adopted, I tell you about my family having trafficked many women. Laundered money. But you laugh in disrespect to me?!" He said.

"I know you and Jared just had an altercation, but making up shit about my family when you barely even know them is a new low. Get on with what you really have to say." I said.

"Get out." 

"What?"

"I said get the FUCK OUT OF MY CAR JULIANA GET OUT." He yelled.

"What the fuck is your probl-"

He jumped out the car, and walked to my side, opening the door and grabbing me by the arm out.

He got in my face, putting his finger to my forehead before I swatted it away.

"I try and I try to tell you and protect you and you make a joke out of everything I say.

"Learn how to respect me and I can protect you." He finished. He walked way, slamming the door of the side I was in, then getting in on his side. Without hesitation, he drove away, leaving me lost and honestly feeling disrespected.

I really just let a n*gg* put his hands on me. Why didn't I pop him in his shit.

I took a moment to process before walking back home. I kept looking over my shoulder wondering if he would be behind me. 

But alas, he wasn't

A Week Later

I woke up this morning for school in a bad mood.

Frustrated, tired, and utterly annoyed with everyone around me. I did my morning routine and waited for Jared in my car. His was once again back at the shop with engine issues. Once he got in, we made our way to school. 

I parked and we went our separate ways without saying anything to each other the entire ride. Darren called me at least 14 times the last few days , sending numerous text but I ignore him. He crossed a line we should've never even had to worry about and it disgusted me. 

I was walking to class when someone tapped my shoulder. "Excuse me?"

"Yes?" I said, turning. "Do I know you?" I asked as I looked at the guy with brown eyes, brown hair and...dimples! "Oh, its you!"

"Yeah, long time no see. Remember we met a while ago at the restaurant I work at? I was looking for you around school but couldn't find you, and I didn't get your name so couldn't ask around.

"You told me that day you'd look for me at the office but didn't show. I was looking for you." He said. I did feel some slight remorse because it had completely slipped my mind.

"I am so sorry. It's Juliana by the way. Are you a senior because I don't have any classes with you?" I asked as we walked in the same direction.

"Umm I'm actually a junior. My name's Steffan." He said, holding a hand out for me to shake. I shook his hand and smiled back at him. 

"Oh, let me get your number and info so we can plan lunch together. I go off campus sometimes for lunch and wouldn't mind a friend to go with. Here." I said passing him my phone.

"I'd love that." He replied. "I hadn't had too much luck meeting people the last few months so this would be great." 

"See you around!" I said, continuing to walk to my class.

Darren Demetrio

I was running late this morning. I had been continuing my courses at home for some the last few weeks because of things going on at home. I was about to enter the classroom when I noticed this guy talking to Juli and her giving him her phone and smiling. 

I felt disgust and anger as I walked into the classroom. She walked in shortly after, avoiding my eyes, and sat down. I pulled out my phone to text her.

Who is that guy you were with? -Darren D.

About a minute later she replied.

Is it any of your business? You ghosted ME. It's not like I'm gonna LIE and tell him I don't have a boyfriend but.. maybe I will. -Juliana G.

I noticed her put her phone away as the teacher began talking and I stared at the text message. Feeling myself fill with rage.

Ok so I inserted another photo of them that you guys could use to imagine. This would definitely be like if they were 25-26. Yes, we know they're still in high school in this story BUT it's always fun imagining what they could possibly look like.

Thank you guys for the continuous love and support!
