"There goes the first" He said, I opened my eyes surprised I didn't feel a thing

"Really" I asked touching my ear seeing I had two earrings

"Wow! I didn't feel a thing" I smiled letting go of Cameron's hand as he went for the other ear, piercing it within seconds

"You know what you should get?" Cameron said

"What's that?" I asked as the man cleaned up my ears

"Navel piercing" She said raising her shirt, showing off her own

"That's sick! Did it hurt?" I asked biting my lower lip

"Not at all" I thought about it for a second before agreeing to get one. He laid me out flat onto the leather bed, I was nervous. It's my body. I kept repeating to myself as he made a mark on my navel indicating where the piercing will be. He clamped up my skin between metal tongs bringing over the long needle sticking it straight in-and-out of my skin making me yelp out in pain

"Cameron you fcking liar!" I cried, tears streaming down the sides of my face as I laid there helplessly

"It'll be worth it" She patted my shoulder, the man finished up telling me what to do and what not to do. Warning me not to go and play with the freshly pierced piercing.

"I feel sore" I whined as I slowly climbed into the front seat

"You'll be fine within a week" She said keeping her eyes on the road

"A fcking week!! I swear I'm going to kill you!" I hissed swatting her hand

"Oh fck off! Where am I dropping you off then?" She asked switching lanes

"My parents house" I huffed, I wasn't ready to see Mam and Mum. I have yet to speak to them and today was one of the two days I was allowed to see them. I could already see their reactions to my new look

"Sounds like a party" Camey said sarcastically

"I don't even want to go" I moaned, we were closely approaching our destination and I could feel my heart rate pickup; filling up with anxiety

"So don't" She said, as if it was that simple

"No I have to" I said, she pulled up to the gates of my house; I punched in the security code, allowing her to drive through the gates and down the gravel road - my heart dropping when I saw Libby's car in my drive way

"Call me if you're still up for that party later" She told me, I gathered my school bag and climbed out telling her I'd let her know. I took a deep breath as I twisted the door knob down letting myself in and going straight into the front room

"What the fck are you doing here!" I snapped seeing Libby having tea with my parents. She tensed up instantly shooting off her seat

"We are not together! Meaning you don't come over my fcking house and have tea with my fcking parents!" I hissed grabbing her by her forearm and dragging her out of my house

"Julie, stop!" She cried as I opened the door ready to throw her out

"You're just as bad as him" She cried running to her car. 'You're just as bad as him' I promised her I would never kick her out of my house, he did the same. I'm just as bad. I hope she hates me.

"Julie! What the fck have you done to yourself!?" Mam snapped me out of my thoughts, noticing I had been staring at my empty driveway for far too long. I shut the door and turned around ready for their lecture

"You don't speak to Olivia like that ever again!" Mum snapped, their eyes traveling up and down my body - jolting to a stop at my navel taking in my new piercing

"You take that off right now!" Mam hissed grabbing my wrist; pulling me into the kitchen

"Stop! I'm not taking off anything" I shouted yanking my wrist out of her hand

"What have you don't to yourself" Mum shook her head looking close to tears

"What Mum? Do you not think I'm pretty anymore!" I snarled, she didn't reply simply walked out of the kitchen leaving Mam and I by ourselves

"What's gotten into you?" She asked gently

"Nothing. This is who I've always been" I said my breathing growing heavier, I was begging myself not to cry

"You haven't been answering any of me calls or texts" She said, I rolled my eyes

"What are you five? I don't have to answer every damn call and text you send me" I said trying to walk passed her, but she wouldn't let me; blocking me from going anywhere

"Are you not going to give your Mam a cuddle?" She asked pathetically

"I can't" I said trying to come up with any excuse possible, because although I was craving her contact I couldn't; I knew I wouldn't be able to let go - I'd cling onto her, and I couldn't let that happen.

"Why?"

"Because, because my piercing will get caught in your jumper" I lied, she scrunched up her eyebrows - stepping back and pulling off her shirt leaving her in her bra

"Give us a cuddle" She said stepping closer

"Mam I c-" Before I could finish she had pulling me into her arms hugging me tightly; never wanting to let go of me. Kissing the top of my head repeatedly, she was kissing all over my face getting emotional I could feel her body shaking as she tried her best not to cry

"I missed me baby girl so much" She said letting out a shaky breath continuing to kiss my temple and cheeks. I stood their trying my best not to lose myself in her embrace, because at the end of the day - she didn't want me.

"Did you not miss us?" She asked noticing I had yet to respond to her cuddle, my hands dropped on either side of me

"Jules?" She asked again stepping back but keeping her arms around me

"Did you not miss us?" She asked in a begging tone

"No" I said coldly, taking her arms from around me walking straight out of the kitchen and up to my bedroom. I knew I had upset her, I wanted her to feel how heartbroken I was from them not to fighting for me

Me: Pick me up for that party tonight.
