My Saving Grace

I wake up way earlier than I usually do, and with a smile on my face. Since I have about an hour and a half, till I've got to go to school, I hop into the shower. After I'm done I go to my room and I pick out an outfit. I pick out a black skirt that stops at my knees, a pierce the veil shirt, and a hoodie on top of that. I don't even try to put foundation over my cuts and bruises, I want them to see them. And I can't wait to see what her face looks like. I brush my hair out while humming, wow, I don't remember the last time that I've ever hummed, I'm just really happy for some reason. To finish my outfit, I put on my worn out Adidas and I apply a thin layer of eyeliner and some mascara. When I'm done getting ready I sit on my bed and I pull out my phone out. It's already 7:45.

I have ten minutes till Brandon and I have o leave. I notice that I have a voice mail from Zeke. I completely forgot about him and Callie. I check it.
"Hey Jessica, we haven't talked in a while.........and I need to tell you something. Call me when you get the chance." Wow, he sounded nervous. What could he want to talk to me about? I call him, and he picks up on the 2nd ring. "Hello?"
"Oh, hey Zeke. There was something you needed to talk to me about?"
He hesitates. "Yeah, but I'd rather do it in person, if you don't mind."
I don't think anything of it and say, "Yeah. How about right after school?"
He agrees, we say goodbye and I hang up. That was weird, what could he want to talk about.

Just then my phone vibrates. I got a text from an unknown number. I open it. It says: Hey it's me, Andy I was wondering if you wanted to hang out. I think about what Brandon said, about how he didn't want me to end up like mom, But Andy is a good guy. He wouldn't hurt me, Would He? I reply. ~Me: Yea, but what time, I have school. I press the send button and wait, he reply's almost instantly. ~Andy: How about I pick you up from school? Where do you go?

~Me: PH, but I can't I told Zeke that I would see him after school. It takes him a second to reply.
~Andy: Who's Zeke, and what do you mean you would see him? I frown at this.
~Me: He's my friend, it's not what you think, and he just wanted to tell me something, in person
~Andy: Fine. What time then?
~Me: 5:00 sound good to you?
~Andy: Yeah sounds great.
~Me: Well I've to go. But see you soon.
~Andy: ok,see you soon. Cant wait :) I blush at his text. I look at the time and its already 7:50

~~10 minutes later~~

Brandon and I get to school in time, and there are only a few kids in Mrs. Camps class as I walk in and sit at my seat. Mrs. Camp studies my face and frowns. She walks over to my desk and kneels beside it. "
“Is everything alright? Are you ok?” She asks. I try not to roll my eyes at this.
“I’m fine.” I say looking away.
“What happened? Are you having trouble at home?” I glare at her.
“No, everything is fine at home.” I say harshly. “I got into a fight…” Her eyes widen. "At school," I growl. She nods and goes back to her desk The room starts to fill with students and then she walks in. Natalie has three long scratches down her face and a big bruise on her jawline. She glares at me, as she goes to her desk. I smile to myself when she looks away. Soon enough it’s my third period locker break. I haven’t paid any attention to what my teachers have said. All I can think about is Andy.........

“Jessica!? Heellooo? You still there, earth to Jessica!” Callie waves her hand in front of my face, pulling me out of my thoughts. I chuckle at her.
"What happened yesterday?" She asks concerned. . I stop laughing. I don’t want to tell her that I tried to kill myself yesterday that will just make me seem crazy.
“Umm after the fight I just needed to breathe so I took a walk. I’m feeling better though.” I say smiling. She looks me up and down.
“Look a lot better too.” She says smiling. “I have never seen you wear a skirt before… It looks good on you.” I smile and twirl around.
“Thank you.” I say giggling and holding on to her feeling a little bit dizzy.

“Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in, two Very unwanted sluts.” I stop at this sound of her voice, and turn around. Natalie is standing there with two of her girls behind her. They’re like her own puppies they follow her all the time and do whatever they can to make her happy. It’s quite amusing actually.
“I could say the same for you.” Callie says, loud enough to make some people stop and stare. Natalie glares at Callie.
“I thought I told you to kill yourself……… bitch, why are you still here?” Natalie asks looking at me. Callie balls her fists up, and steps forward. “At the looks of it, you’ve already got your ass kicked, but don’t make me finish the job.” She growls. Natalie’s mouth drops. I give Natalie an evil smile as we walk away. "Thank you." I say as we walk into class.

~Right after school.

I say goodbye to Callie and I wait in the parking lot for Zeke. After a few minutes of waiting I see Zeke approaching me. When he walks up to me, he smiles.
“Hey Zeke,” I say with a smile. “What is it that you needed to tell me?” I ask. He rubs the back of his neck and looks away.
“Umm, Jessica……I-I-I know that we’ve been friends for two years and all, but I have to tell you something…..” What could it be? What’s wrong? “What?” I ask, in a whisper.
“Jessica……I-I love you……..”

Notes
