A Strange World, Cecy [book recommendations for teens .TXT] 📗

at him, he put him hand on the side of my face and just kissed me on my lips. I actually made a pained noise, ‘cause of the pain of the side of my mouth where my mom slapped me.
“You okay?”He asked, and just looked at me.
“Yeah,” I said while nodding my head. Then that’s when he really saw the corner of my mouth.
“What happened?”He asked. I closed my door, and said, “My mom slapped me.”
“Why did she do that?”
“I don’t know.”I said. I looked back at him, and then just smiled. He grabbed my hand and walked me up stairs to his apartment. I actually liked what he had in it, it was quite though and I really liked it. We sat down on his sofa and started eating. I didn’t really eat because I was hungry so I let either him or Victor have it. I was just laying there and then Anthony put his arm around me and I just put my head on his shoulder. We all just stayed there and Victor had invited a girl over, so Anthony and I just went into his room, and well you can just imagine what happened in there. Just being here at his house is actually relaxing. I didn’t really have to remember what had happened with my sister and everything between my mom and me right now either. I was just lying down with the covers over me, and with his arms around me. I wasn’t really worrying about what just happened, but I did know that I was on the pill so I didn’t really have to worry about that, because the last time when I was living in San Francisco, I had gotten pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption. So now I take per-cautions when I’m with a guy, even one that I barely even no.
I didn’t even realize that I had fallen sleep until Anthony woke me up, and told me it was already getting late.

“I don’t even want to go home,” I said. I just looked at him, and just got up grabbed my clothes and started putting them on.
“Was that your first time?”He asked.
“Uh, no.”I said. I can’t believe he asked me that, I thought to myself. Then again, he really didn’t know a lot about me at all.
“Oh, I just thought it was. “He said.
“Well it wasn’t.”I told him.
“Hey you okay?”He asked. I looked back up at him, and just sat back down on the bed grabbed my boots and put them on. I felt his arms go around my waist, and I relaxed against him.
“Yeah, I’m okay. Just that I started thinking of something that I really didn’t want to think about right now,” I told him. I can’t believe I gave away my baby boy away to some strangers, I yelled at myself.
“Do you want to talk about it?”He asked.
“No, I’m good.”I answered him. I didn’t really want to tell him what had happened two years ago. I didn’t really want anyone to know. I wanted to finish my last year in high school. I didn’t want anything to happen to me right now. I didn’t even plan to be with a guy, and I just moved down here and I don’t really know anyone.
So I pulled out of his arms, and grabbed my stuff from the floor and walked towards the door.
“Elena?” I heard him calling me. I turned back around, and he was already walking towards me in his sweat pants that he had put on awhile ago probably when I was asleep. “Tell me what’s going on.” he said.
“I can’t.” I said “call me okay.” and that was the last that I said, and just walked out.

Once I left his apartment, I started driving around town. I had the music loud and the windows down. I stopped at the red light, and that was when my phone started going off. I looked at it, and it was Anthony. I sighed and answered it.
“Yeaning said sounding tired. Right then the light turned green, and I turned left, and drove to the store.
“Where are you at?”He asked.
“I’m going to the store.”I said. I yawned and didn’t even want to explain to him why I was going there.
“You should be going home.”
“I can’t go home “I told him, almost at the edge of tears. I had to stop at another light right at the intersection, and waited for the light to turn green.
“Why can’t u go home?”
“My mom and I had a fight, I just can’t”

“Why doesn’t u just stay here at my house?” he suggested. I started thinking about, and it wasn’t such a bad idea.
“Sure. Let me just get, what I have to at the store and I’ll be over there,” I told him.
“Okay...”
Once I was at Wal-Mart again, I went to the electronic section, I grabbed myself some books, some cd, and then I bought myself a laptop. I knew there was wireless at the apartments over there. After I got that, I went to the school supplies and got myself a sketch book and some pencils and well everything that I need to draw with. After I got everything I needed, I went to the front of the store and paid for all of my stuff.
When I got out side and to my car, I put the stuff in the trunk, walked to the front got in the car turned it on nod started driving back to Anthony’s. I had the music load once again, then when I pulled up in front of the apartments, Anthony and Victor where outside smoking. I got out of the car, and walked to the trunk, opened it then started grabbing stuff and going up the stairs to the living room. I wasn’t sure where to put my stuff at then I saw Anthony walk in wit some of my stuff and walk to his room, so I followed him.
“Where are your clothes at?”He asked me.
“I don’t have them,” I said while I placed the stuff on his bed.
“Why not?” I stayed quiet for a minute, then answered, “Because I didn’t want to go back to the house.” then he grabbed my car keys and grabbed my hand and went straight down the stairs, to my car and victor was already in the back, and Anthony was in the driver side. So I went to the passenger side, and just sat there I didn’t argue with him at all.
