"Hey, so do you want to go to my house and hang out?" I looked over at an excited and jumping Chris.
"Sure, it sounds fun. We should walk. It's really nice out." I looked up at the sky. There was a slight breeze in the air, but it was still warm enough to get away with short sleeve shirts. There were light, fluffy clouds in the sky that left a shallow covering to block a small portion of the sun.
"Yeah, it really is something." She sounded like she was looking at the love of her life when she said that. I smiled at her, and she looked down at me.
We began our walk slowly enjoying the nice white clouds as they started to thicken and get darker.
"I know life seems shitty sometimes, but I want you to know that I'll always be here for you if you ever need someone to talk to... or backup." She looked at me, and I smiled at her. The corner of my lips twitched as I held back a laugh at the thought of her fighting someone. She would be like a vicious Chihuahua.

I watched my clock go from 8pm to 5:59 am. When the alarm flashed 6:00 a.m. I sniffled holding back more tears. Have you ever cried all night and ended up crying yourself to sleep? Yeah, well this wasn't those times.My pillow was soaked in tears, and my blankets had random wet spots from me tossing and turning, trying to go to sleep while crying. It didn't really work out too well. I muffled another sob into my pillow. Eyes closed or open, I still saw Chris lying in my arms, covered in blood. The sight was burned into my corneas.I guess yesterday, my mom woke up to an empty bed and was pissed about the one-nightstand. She decided to punish me for some random guy leaving her. My punishment was that I had to go to school today even though my best friend had just died! She said she didn't want anyone in the house.I let out another sob at this thought. It was my fault that Chrissie was gone. If I had looked before I crossed the damn street, she woul

When I saw people in front of me I guessed that it was time for third hour. The halls cleared I tried to recover myself, so I could go to class. By missing 1st and 2nd hours, I know my mom will already be getting a call and make my life even worse. It was so not worth it, trust me. I took a last glance at the pictures in her locker before closing it.I didn't bother to grab my book bag from my locker before going to 3rd hour. When I opened the door, the whole class got silent, including the teacher. I took a step in the class and tried to quietly sniffle. It sounded loud like it was echoing off the walls. I looked at my seat expecting to see Jessica, but instead, it was empty. I looked at Chris's seat, but it wasn't empty as I expected. Instead, there was one person stupid enough to be sitting in my best friend's seat.Jessica!No one seemed to realize where and who I was glaring at."Move bitch!" I growled. I noticed the new girl we got in the class flit

His breathing was heavy, and he had a heavy layer of sweat on his forehead, but the light was hitting his back causing his face to shadow. Between that and the tears in my eyes, I couldn't see the emotion in his. I looked back in front of me, wiping the moisture away from my cheeks. He came and sat down on the swing next to me. "Look," I started, "I'm sorry, I elbowed you. I'm sorry I ran, and you had to follow, and I'm sorry that you have to see me crying, but . . . . I really don't want to talk about anything right now, so please don't try to comfort me because I don't want to hear it." He huffed. "Well, you elbow pretty hard, but I'm okay. So, don't apologize. I didn't have to follow you; I wanted to run after you. I don't care if people cry in front of me because everyone cries every once in a while, and I won't try to comfort you if you don't want me to." We swung in silence until I could see through the tears and looked at his face. They didn't
KNOCKOUT Eighteen
I loved every second of calling Jessie a dick! It was amazing. He deserved it. I saw new girls every day crying over him, it seemed. I wasn't sure if it was something he said or something he did. I had seen him kissing a few girls, but he never really seemed into it. It was more like he was just following along with what was expected of him. He was hanging around his group of friends again but only for a small period each day. He spent the rest of his time alone. After school, I drove home in my baby and walked upstairs into my room, and went straight to my closet. I looked through my dresses. Only having a few, it had taken me a minute to find an appropriate one. I grabbed one of the black ones that went down to my knees. Come to think about it, Chris helped me pick this one out at the store when my mom decided that I needed to own some dresses for her stupid dinner parties. I left my hair alone and grabbed my converse to put them back on. As I walked downst
KNOCKOUT Nineteen
The tear phase had passed by Monday, and I was back in a deep depression. All feelings had left me, and I was back to being an empty shell. I walked through the door to second hour and sat in the back as usual. Jessie walked in and sat in his seat after making out with some random girl in the doorway. I had scanned her over, noticing that it was a different girl than yesterday. Ew. I slouched in my seat. No doubt, he was going to try and talk to me. There was nothing he could say and nothing I wanted him to say. There was no reason for me to be friendly with him now. Nothing had changed between us. Maybe that was a lie. He had been there during the most traumatic time in my life. He held me while I cried and followed me when I was running so I wouldn't be alone in my grief. Despite his chosen group of friends, his rotation of women, and the prank he pulled on me a few weeks ago… I had to say that I didn't hate him as much as I wanted to. He turned to
KNOCKOUT Twenty
His body fit every curve of mine perfectly. His face was inches away from me, and my eyes scanned over it in surprise. The smell of the peppermint gum he was chewing fanned over my face, and I refrained from taking in a deep breath. The pink of his lips looked softer than I imagined, and I was tempted to taste them. Wait! Julie, don't think like that this dick-lick. He does not deserve you to think about him that way. He opened his mouth to begin to talk, but then his eyes flicked down to my lips. I turned my head away from his just as it seemed he was getting closer. I noticed a couple of girls staring at us. Oh, great. That's going to start drama. I raised my knee to his groin at hit him gently. The gentle warning didn't seem to hurt him, but he did pull back, freeing me to make my escape. "And, now that you don't have my attention, we don't. By the way, you should never do that again. You don't want to ruin your rep. Right, playboy?" I smirked and
KNOCKOUT Twenty-One
The rest of the week went on as if Jessie and I had never even talked. He was being his usual man whore-ish self, and I was back to being the depressed nerd with anger problems. I started listening in class and bringing my grades up again so Chris and my dad wouldn't be disappointed in me. Going back and completing all of the old assignments reminded me just how much I hated school. Jessie and I don't talk in any of the classes we have together. He didn't even look at me if we passed in the hall. There was a rumor going around that I was his hump and dump from Monday. They're saying that we did it during 6th hour when I had my break down. How romantic… It's all bull shit! Everyone in this school was so full of shit! I walked down the hall to drop off my textbooks and grab my homework for the weekend. I walked up to my locker, but it was blocked. Jessica and her slowly healing face were making out with some tall guy with a backward baseball cap
KNOCKOUT Twenty-Two
At 3:00 pm, I decided that ice cream sounded amazing. It used to be a weekly event with Chris to get ice cream. I missed her. I grabbed my keys and was planning on going to the grocery store, but somehow I ended up at The Shack. I walked out of my car and headed in. Jessie wasn't there, but a majorly hot as hell guy was. He had short black hair and snake bites. He had green eyes and was about 6'3. His arms were so ripped I thought his shirt would break if he moved. You could see his abs through his shirt too. He looked up and saw me staring. I blushed. There was no way he was in high school. This man was a God, and it was just wrong to see him working at an Ice Cream store. "Sorry," I mumbled. He just grinned. I walked over to the counter to order. "Can I get a scoop of The Reese's Runaway?" I held out money, but he just ignored me. He smiled at me, pulled money out of his pocket, and placed it in the register. "Don't worry about it. I don't m
