|17| Travis

On my way out I bump into Santi, he's with his friends and they're all caught up in conversation but once my brother sees me he frowns

"Woah, you good?"

I clear my throat as I look the other way, "Yes"

"No you're not"

"Santi! It's your turn"

He turns back for a second, "Yeah I'm coming-

"Just go Santi"

"But-

"I'm fine, just go"

He sighs "Fine. Daniels outside, you might as well go with him. Don't walk home alone"

"Later"

I saw Travis again so I left quickly before he even got the chance to get to me, when I got outside my older brothers were in Enzo's car laughing as they talked. I open the door to the backseat before getting in and Daniel looks back, "Finally"

I lay myself against all three seats, burying my face into my arm as I do so. And then I just cry to myself because I feel so..... sad.

"Hey what's wrong?" Enzo asks

I don't reply and I hear his seatbelt unbuckle, "Who's sliders are those?" Daniel questions

"D come on-... Dri what's wrong"

"It doesn't matter"

"Yes it does"

"I'm an idiot"

"That depends", Daniel replies

"Don't mind him, he's high"

I finally sit up before and sniffing, "Give it to me"

He passes back the blunt and I inhale before exhaling swiftly, feeling a little more relaxed than I did before. "Santi's not coming, let's just go" I mutter

Enzo starts the car, "You gonna tell us what's wrong?"

I can already feel tears forming again, "Guys are betting on me now"

"What?"

"About sex?", Daniel questions

"Yes..."

"Ohhh. Shit"

D being high is probably the only thing keeping me sane right now, "Why the fuck are they betting on you?"

I sigh, "Cause I'm a whore"

"You are", My oldest brother nods in agreement

"You're just confused", Enzo replies

"Stop lying to her"

"I'm not lying-

"Dude. Just face it, she is"

"Wow, thanks Daniel"

"Adri, you do have sex a lot. But tell those kids in your grade to have the same energy towards all those guys who have a higher count than you, it's no biggie"

"Ok never say biggie again-

"Biggie-

Enzo waves him off, "What he's trying to say is. If having sex makes you happy then it makes you happy, you're not in a relationship so why should you feel obligated to stick to one person-

"No no no. Terrible advice-

"What? I'm just telling her what you meant-

"It's not what I meant at all"
