She smiled at me.
âI donât want to be here anymore, I donât want to be with my alcoholic dad who beats my mom every time he gets drunk and I donât want to be with my mom whoâs secretly banging our 17 year old neighborâ she said without even looking at me.
I looked at her with sympathy. I didnât expect that she is going through something like that. I am not the only miserable person after all. I just envy her on how well she manages her situation. The way she carries herself you will never notice that she lives in a home like that.
âDo you have any relative in Florida?â I asked trying to figure what will happen to her once she leaves.
She shook her head.
âNope, just a friend . . . Do you want to come with me?â
I was shocked with her latter statement. She wants me to come with her? Is she serious? Is she for real?
âAre you serious?â
She smirked and rolled her big blue eyes.
âOf course, I am not telling anyone about my plan, not even my girls but since you wanna escape to your hell of a life I am giving you this chance.â She walked towards my direction. âMy friend will pick me up tomorrow here at school after lunch if you want you can come with me.â She offered.
I didnât know what to tell her, this is the chance that I have been waiting for.
âHow are we going to live there? Are we going to work? Where are we going to live?â I need to know what will happen to us first before I give her an answer.
She shook her head.
âYou know what Jillian you have too much questions no wonder why you canât escape your step father, you worry too much. Itâs now or never so are you in or out?â
Nicole was right, this is my only chance to be free, itâs gonna be now or never. I can finally escape from Dan, it doesnât matter how I will live in Florida whatâs important right now is I can finally be free.
âIâm inâ I said almost a whisper.
She smiled.
âGreat! See you tomorrow then and please donât bring too much stuff so that no one will notice usâ she said before making her out of the ladies room.
I looked at my reflection on the mirror. I canât help but smile. This is it. I can finally be free from Dan and from the hell of a life that I currently have.
I woke up early the next day, I didnât sleep much because I canât help not to think about Nicoleâs plan. Last night when everyone was asleep I packed some of my clothes on my back pack. I canât bring any other bag or luggage because I donât want Dan to get suspicious.
After I took a quick shower, I made my way to the kitchen to make some coffee, I was surprised to see mom sitting on the dining chair having some coffee and bread.
âHey you go home early after school, I have visitors laterâ
I just nod as an answer. I canât help not to feel sad because I am leaving her for good. This will be the last time that we will see each other. After everything sheâs done and not done for me I can never change the fact that she is my mother. Despite of her poor judgments and bad decisions she is still the woman who carried me inside her tummy for nine months. Maybe if Dad didnât die, she will stay the same woman I grew up with, the one who brushes my hair before I go to school, the one who reads me stories before she tucked me in my bed at night and the one who didnât get tired of making me understand how to properly used fractioning in Mathematics. We were doing so well before she met Dan.
I felt the tears forming in my eyes so immediately I blinked them away. I canât cry in front of her, I want to hug her but I stopped when I heard footsteps coming to the dining room.
âWhat are you still doing here cunt? Letâs go I need to meet a client before nineâ Dan yelled at me.
I nod, then grabbed my tumbler from the table and walked out of the house. I waited for Dan in the car. He didnât say anything as he gets in, he looks worried like something is bothering him.
âYou know who I am meeting today?â he said.
I didnât want to answer but I donât want to provoke him so I nodded.
âWell, letâs just say he is the person that will give us tons of money and you will help meâ
I didnât say anything, after lunch later he will never ever hurt me again. All I want right now is to reach school.
âI'll pick you up by lunchâ he said as we reach the school.
I was terrified. Nicole and I are leaving after lunch once every one is in their respective classes so that no one will see us. How can I go with them if Dan is picking me up by lunch?
âWhy?â I asked trying to keep myself calm.
The last thing I want right now is for him not to become suspicious that I am planning something.
âDonât ask, just wait for me at lunchâ he said with finality.
I shook my head.
âI can't I have a quiz on Spanishâ I refused.
My body shook when he grabbed me in my arm. I know he is upset.
âDo you think I fucking care about your quiz?â he said in my face while he tightened his grip.
I didnât say anything, I just looked down. When he didnât get any response he finally released my arm.
âBe here by lunchâ
I just nod before getting off the car, I didnât wait for him to drive away, and I immediately made my way inside the school. I need to find Nicole, I need to talk to her. But I can't seem to find her, I went to the pantry, to the ladies room, to the locker area but she is nowhere to be found. The bell is about to ring for the first period and I am starting to lose hope, there are a lot of things running inside my mind. What if she was just fooling me? What if she's gone? What if she doesnât really want me to come? I canât even text her since I donât have a cell phone, another thing that Dan forbid me to have.
I saw hope when one of her minions passed by the locker area.
âGiaâ I called her, good thing I remembered her name.
She raised her brow when she saw me and I knew people at school think I am weird.
âWhat do you want Winters?â she smirked.
I decided to ignore her attitude.
âDo you know where Nicole is?â I asked.
She smiled sarcastically.
âDo you really think Nicole will befriend a weird person like you?â
âJust tell me where she is . . . please?â
I hate asking favor from people.
âShe's at the boyâs locker roomâ she said and then walked away.
I made my way to the boyâs locker room right away, thank god no one was actually there because I donât want people to ask me questions.
I went inside and it was strangely quiet and dark that itâs creeping me out. I am not afraid of the dark in fact I love watching horror movies but that was really creepy. Still, I walked inside, I need to find Nicole and I need to trust Gia that she wasnât fooling me. When I passed the lockers I was able to breathe when I finally heard something . . . actually itâs someone . . . moaning . . . someone is moaning due to extreme pleasure . . . aside from the moaning . . . someone is also breathing so hard. I walked further until I reached Coach Bakers office and I almost screamed from what I saw; Nicole is lying on coachâs table, her skirt pulled up to her waist while our classmate Mark is on top of her, with his pants on his knees.
âJillian?â
I turned around and was about to leave the place when Nicole called my name.
âWhat are you doing here?â she casually asked like as if I didnât see her in a very awkward position.
I stood there my back facing them, itâs not that I am a saint, I am no longer a virgin myself but I still find it awkward to see a âfriendâ in an act.
âI-I j-just want to talk to you but i-itâs fine, it can waitâ I said then ran away.
I feel my face turning red while I made my way out of the boyâs locker room. That was the first time that Iâve been there and that is the kind of experience that I actually had.
Iâll just talk to her later, I just hope that she finish early so that she can still go to class since we only have two subjects together.
I successfully made my way out when I bumped into something hard and wet.
âJill?â
I looked up to see who its was; of course Max is here, standing in front of me wearing nothing but his sports shorts and sweat flowing all over his perfectly toned body. Wow! He is just so hot!
I automatically made a couple of steps backward, I tend not to control myself whenever I get too close to him (remember the kiss?). I have been trying my best to avoid him, I successfully did it yesterday and I donât want to break my momentum because he is standing in front of me looking like a model in a glossy magazine.
He glanced from where I came from.
âWhat are you doing here?â he asked with curiosity.
I suddenly didnât know what to say, I canât tell him that I went to see Nicole cause I donât want him to ask questions since Nicole and I arenât friends but I canât tell him what I saw either.
âWait! Did you go here to see me?â he asked.
Yeah! Right? Of course he will think that way. Iâve never been to the boyâs locker for godâs sake!
Then he started making steps towards my direction. What am I going to tell him? I canât tell him what I saw but I donât want him to get the wrong idea. Yeah, I like him a lot but I canât date him. I canât be with him because of Dan and even if I can escape Dan I canât still date him because I am leaving for Florida for good so I need to accept the realization that Max and I will never be together.
âNo, I-I wasnât looking for youâ I said with my head down.
I saw his feet an inch away from mine.
âWhat happened? Why were you avoiding me? I thought we were okay?â he sadly said to me.
He held my chin to look him up but I canât meet his gaze.
âP-please stay away from meâ I said trying to keep my composure.
âNo!âHe yelled. âI know something is wrong, I can feel that you like me but something is stopping you. Tell me what it is?â he begged.
I shook my head, I canât tell him my secret, he can maybe help me but I canât afford him to know how disgusting I am.
âNo . . . Y-youâre wrong . . . I donât like you, I will never like a guy like youâ I lied.
Then I pushed him away from me and ran as fast as I can. All I want right now is to stay as far away as possible from him. When I reach the other building where my classes are, I stopped. I canât breathe, my chest is in so much pain not because I ran but because of something else. I feel like I am going to burst in tears any moment. I didnât expect that Maxwell Norris will have this kind of effect on me. That
