"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FOREHEAD?" my mother's concerned voice rang out when I entered the house and met her in the small living room.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked again.
"Yes. I already saw the school nurse and she said it was just a slight cut. It wouldn't scar or anything."
"Okay. Well, I'm off to work now. Lock the doors as usual and don't answer it to anyone. I felt food in the oven."
I watched as she walked down the pathway, crossed and street and fetched a bus to her night-shift job. I felt vulnerable all over again as the images flashed back to what Brooke had her friends do to me.

"I was with my friend.""So, Blossom, you're now your own woman to be disobeying me, lying to me and hanging out with guys.""Mom, I'm sorry," I sincerely apologised.

But not in an abusive form whatsoever. She jumped onto my car and I removed her from it. Simple!" I was getting frustrated already."How did you remove her? Was it more like a grab or a shove?" the other officer asked."I gently removed her," I answered."Oh come on. Someone is on your car.. Being gentle would be the last thing on your mind.

Something I've never felt before.After school, I drove to Blossom's house. I knocked on the door when I got there and a sad looking Blossom opened it."Hi. How are you?" I asked her, studying her face."I'm fine." She rubbed her eyes after."Were you asleep? Did I wake you?"She nodded yes."Is your mom here?"She nodded no. "She already left for work.""Oh.

Ice-cream with chocolate coated strawberries on top, and when we were down to the last strawberry, he bit the bottom of it and moved towards my lips.I acted accordingly, biting and eating the other half until our bare lips met. His grey pair of eyes, along with his handsome face, was marveling at me. His soft lips sealed mine and the tip of his tongue led to the entrance I allowed.My heart raced. The butter
