It's been a week since school started and I had finally got to talk to tristen. she was upset today and I wanted to know why so as I walked towards her I noticed her preppy friends look at me weird. "hey tristen".....I said very awkwardly trying sound sincere....(failed)... "hi iris" she said as she held back the tears "so how have you been"...I said failing at being social...."what happened".....as she started to tear up and began to open her mouth the bell rang....I was beginning to think I wasn't going to find out........ after algebra we have history Rebecca said from behind me as she walked up and put her arm through mine... "so what's the deal with tristen"...I said feeling clueless..."so you talk to her now"...Rebecca said sarcastically..."seriously!"...I said a bit frustrated...."did you here about the car accident"....she said a little serious "yes I passed it"...I said as I was confused cause I didn't get to see who was involved..... "well it was John".....she said looking a little sincere.....(shocking)...."John wethers?".....I said puzzled an a little upset..."mhmm he got caught up in a passing of a semi and was hurt pretty badly"......I couldn't believe it me and John were best friends the first year of highschool and we still occasionally talk but I'd always had a little crush on him..."how bad is it?"...I said now kinda worried about him...."well he is in a coma"....she trailed off....
it'd been a month since school started and there was no good news about john.....I was to caught up in my thoughts to watch where I was going and I ended up bumping into someone "oh I'm so sorry" I said coming back to reality "it's ok..." it was jaco dunn we were best friends in middle school, back then I was a bit of a Tom girl...and didn't have many friends but I ended up meeting him and we became best friends but then when the summer came we didn't hang out and we grew apart just like the rest of my friends.. "look who it is" he said sarcastically "it's been a long time"...I said lightly smiling "so how has life been?" he said "well alot has happened for me to say in 5 minutes"....."how about you?" he looked down and sighed "well my best friend is in a coma" "oh I'm so sorry" I totally forgot that when highschool started he joined the football team soon becoming best friends with John who was now in a coma "it's ok, its not your fault" he said as he smiled... "well this is my class, thanks for walking me to class" "no problem" he said smiling "so will I see you soon?" "of course you will!" I said "good" he said smiling as he winked "see you soon then!" I walked in and mrs. Louis glared at me until I sat down...she immediately started talking about something to do with history....I didn't care I zoned out thinking about jaco.....sweet, tall, built, tan, short black hair and very handsome!!!.....
it was Saturday and I was trying to sleeping in but I just wasn't tired...I layed there enjoying the silence..the silence was broke by my phone buzzing...I looked over there were three texts.... one from Rebecca "hey, are you seriously still sleeping" one from Cora "morning sunshine wanna get coffee" and one from jaco "hey, how are you enjoying the weekend!....hop to see you soon<3" I got out of bed, took a shower, got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair..... I walked down the stairs to the kitchen to get something to eat, heard mom talking in the living room to someone, just thought she was on the phone I walked in to the living room to sit down. and there he was, sitting there on our couch, like he deserved to sit there..... my father, he used to get really drunk and hit mom.....the only time he was sober was when he was in the car going to get more alcohol... I ran up the stairs and shut the door and locked it...I sat down in front of it with tears running down my cheeks, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs I grabbed my phone and opened my window and walked the balcony and slid down the supporters. I ran until I was out of breath I had made it to a bus stop, I sat on the bench and thought of what he was doing here, then i remembered the last thing I heard I ran up the stairs "I've been sober for a year now and I wanna be in my daughters life before she is off to college"he said "well I'm not sure she feels the same way" mom said having the right idea for once "don't make me go to court for our daughter" "well I think you'll have to, she's almost old enough to choose which parent she wants around her".....that's when I walked in and that's all I heard. someone walked up in front of me..."excuse me"...she said slightly sarcastic, I looked up ad saw Rebecca standing there in front of me, she saw how upset I looked, she turned her light giggle and smile into a frown "what's the matter?" I explained what had happened to her "hold on" she dialed a number into her phone and within 15 minutes Cora was sitting on the other side of me... "let's go get some coffee and forget what happened"..Cora said sweetly cora's dad was a psychologist, so she she always trying little tricks when I was upset or wouldn't open up to her...
