Sitting through school the next day was difficult this morning I couldn't even put on a bra so I wore a large hoodie and a tank top the replaced the bra and if I made one wrong move the scabs on my back reopened and started to bleed again, plus it hurt really bad. My entire body aches and I was struggling to stay awake.
The boys, even Archer was already at my table when I entered the lunch room"How's your day?" Decibel and Archer both rushed to ask me first as I sat down "I'm good, you guys?" I wrote. When they answered they both acted chill like they hadn't both just tried to race to ask me the same question "we're good" the only ones that were action sorta normal are Victor and Kota and they were laughing their butts off. Boys are so confusing, I don't get what's so funny "why aren't you guys sitting with your friends?" Victor gasped in mock horror "are you saying we're not friends?" He was only able to keep a straight face for about two seconds before he couldn't help but start laughing, I pulled back my notebook and wrote: "did he smoke something this morning?" I showed it to Archer, he smiled "I don't know but if he did I want some." I looked at him shocked "do you do drugs?" I showed him quickly "no why?" I sighed a breath of relief "don't ever do drugs, they ruin your life they take everything from you your family, your money. They take, take, take and never give." A small frown made its way into his beautiful face and I couldn't help but glance at his lips "you sound like you have had experience with this type of situation" I gave him a sad smile "I know someone who died because of drugs" he pulled my hand into his, I had no idea he could be this gentle but I'm starting to like this side of Archer "I'm sorry for your loss" me too... Me too. For a short period of time, the alcohol wasn't enough him so he turned to prescription drugs and then it's was cocaine, that was when the abuse got worse. He got help because the drugs were costing him too much but when he out of rehab he went right back to alcohol, from that point on he was dead to me that doesn't mean I don't want my father back I do I want the one I had before my mother died. I miss him so very much.
When I was heading home Decibel pulled up beside me "hey do you want to hang out?" I thought about it "what would we do?" "We could go see a movie, go to the game room, go to the beach or we could just get something to eat at the cafe" wait for a second...oh my gosh is he asking me out on a date, he couldn't be, I mean I'm just ... Me." Can we just go to the cafe?" Hurriedly he said " yeah yeah hop in" I got in the truck and we drove to the cafe, he insisted on paying and since I only had a dollar in change I didn't argue, I just chose the cheapest item with the least amount of calories. I ordered the house salad and a dinner roll, Decibel ordered a cheeseburger with extra bacon and a basket of French fries. " is that all you're going to eat you can order whatever you want." I smile at him " I like salad" while I say this I'm mentally adding the calories. "Okay, so I heard this years musical is going to suck, that the cast they picked is awful." He laughs and I sigh... His laugh is beautiful I don't really think your supposed to use beautiful to describe a man but my brain has turned into mush right now. " if I would have auditioned nobody else would have stood a chance I'd have been the star or the show" I giggled like a full on girly giggle, he is so freakin cocky. I excused myself and went to the bathroom where I was finally able to take a deep breath my eyes teared up from the pain that one little motion caused, my body was in so much pain. I should have told Decibel that we could hang out another day. I lifted my shirt and tried to get a good look at my back it was bleeding a little and the lashed were all puffy, red and swollen but that was to be expected.
Through the rest of our "date," we just talked about school and what we liked to do for fun. I found out that Decibel can paint and dirtbike races. I told him I liked to write music and sing. When he dropped me off at my "house" he wanted to do the, ya know first date kiss but I don't think I'm ready for that, he had started leaning in when... Well, there's no other way to put it than... Oh my gosh, I completely freaked out, I just started spouting random stuff. For goodness sakes, I said that I like chocolate chip cookies when he was about to kiss me, his lips were literally 2 inches away from mine. I don't know how I'm going to face him tomorrow at school what am I supposed to say sorry I didn't know if I was ready for you to kiss me so I just started rambling on about stupid stuff, try again tomorrow or next week and I don't know maybe next year. I don't understand I have that butterfly feeling in my stomach still as I watch him drive away so why wasn't I able to kiss him.
When I enter the house I expected someone to yell at me but instead my stepmother slowly got up off the couch, walked over to me, grabbed my wrist - the one that is still sore from when my father had broken it a few weeks ago- and dragged me into the kitchen. "where were you?" she said calmly I, of course, didn't answer her. She open took out a bottle of ghost pepper and Carolina Reaper hot sauce mixed together, my father liked things spicy; she pinched my jaw forcing my mouth open like a dog. She poured what felt like the whole bottle in my mouth and I was already gagging trying my hardest not to throw up. The combo made my throat feel like someone set it on fire. "when I talk to you, you had better answer me next time, go to your room and don't come out you're not getting dinner." I sprinted as fast as I could into the basement bathroom and puked up the burning liquid when It touched the cut on my lip it burned which means my split lip must have reopened when she pinched my mouth. I sit with my back against the tub tears streaming down my rosy cheeks "why...why me."
