Chapter 3

On the way to the store I am silently trying to figure out how I am going to hide what I am going to buy. When we pulled up to the drug store, I got out and shut the van door. Juice walked in front of me and Happy walked behind me as we walked into the drug store. I walked to the aisle with feminine products, condoms, Plan B, and pregnancy tests. I walked down the aisle with Happy and Juice and I grabbed a box of tampons. Just then two girls walked down the aisle and started flirting with Happy and Juice. That gave me the opportunity to grab a box of Plan B, and pregnancy test just in case. I grabbed a package of pads and put the Plan B and the pregnancy test between the pads and tampons so Happy and Juice wouldn't see it. I knew if they did see it they would tell dad and grandma. The girls went on their way as Happy turned his attention to me.

Happy: Hannah we are going to stand outside for a smoke while you wait in line to check out. Is that ok with you?

Me: Yes, that's fine.

Happy: Ok. (He said as him and Juice went outside.)

I was happy they were going outside that means they wouldn't see what I was buying. After waiting in line for about 10 minutes it was my turn to check out. The cashier was a woman probably in her late 50's. Her name tag said Linda. She just smiled at me and scanned my items. She put my items in the bag with the test and morning after pill in between the tampons and pads. She gave me the total and I paid her. She was about to hand me my change back.

Me: You can keep the change.

Linda: Are you sure it's five dollars?

Me: I know that's ok.

Linda: Thank you.

Me: No, thank you.

I took the bag and walked outside.

Happy: You ok?

Me: Yes. (I said as I walked over to the van and got in.)

Happy shut the van door for me as I sat down in my seat and buckled up. All of a sudden my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my pocket it and saw it was Austin calling me again. Happy and Juice were talking outside the van so I decided to answer the phone.

Me: What?

Austin: Babe, I'm sorry don't hang up.

Me: This is the last time you call me. Do you understand? If you don't I will tell anyone who will listen what you did to me. Everyone will know what you are.

Austin: What am I sweetheart.

Me: Don't call me that, and you know what you are.

Austin: Why don't you tell me.

Me: You are an abusive loser who likes to rape women when you don't get what you want. Bye, asshole.

I hung up the phone and tears were flowing down my face. Happy and Juice got in the car they both looked at me and saw I was wiping my face.

Happy: What's wrong, Hannah?

Me: Nothing.

Juice: Bullshit, your crying you wouldn't be crying if nothing happened.

Happy: Hey don't yell at her moron can't you see she is upset. Seriously, Hannah what's wrong?

Me: Nothing, can you guys just drop it. Women cry all the time we don't always have a reason.

Happy: Ok.

Juice: Dammit Hannah tell us what's wrong.

Me: No, I'm fine.

Juice: Bullshit.

Me: I'm fine. Can we just go?

Juice: We are not leaving until you tell us.

Me: Dammit Juice, I'm fine can we leave now please.

Juice: Fine. You can go now Happy.

Happy: Good I'm tired of all the arguing.

Juice turned to radio to a Spanish station and Mayores by Becky G came on. I smiled because I love that song. Happy started the van and we headed back to the clubhouse.

Happy: What are you smiling about?

Me: I like this song.

Happy: What is it about? I haven't been paying attention

Me: Nothing.

Happy: Oh yeah I remember.

He turned the station to a rock station.

Me: Hey, why did you do that?

Happy: Because that song is really inappropriate for a girl you age to listen to.

Juice: Why she's 16.

Me: Is it inappropriate because she like the big ones that don't fit into her mouth?

Happy: Oh my god, Hannah. (He says pulling over on the side of the road.)

Me: What?

Happy: You know about that stuff.

Juice: Duh, she's 16 of course she knows about that stuff.

Happy: I am going to have to tell your dad.

Me: Why, it's just a song.

Happy: I know but you shouldn't know about that stuff.

Me: Dude I'm in high school of course I know about that stuff people talk about it.

Happy: But you're not doing that stuff right?

Me: Oh hell no.

Happy: Ok, that's all I need to know.

Happy pulled back onto the road and we proceeded to the clubhouse. Juice turned it back to the Spanish station and Saturno by Pablo Alboran was playing. I started singing it quietly as I stared out the window.

Happy: Ok how do you know this song?

Me: It's in Caer en Tentacion.

Juice: You watch Spanish Telenovelas?

Me: Of course.

Happy: Why?

Me: Because a lot of the guys are hot. For example, I mean have you seen Aaron Diaz, Sebastian Rulli, Oscar Priego, and there are so many more.

Juice: Which actor do you think is hotter than the other?

Me: I can't choose just one.

Juice: Ok but do you realize most of them are old enough to be your father.

Me: Yes, but there not. (I said with a smirk).

I heard someone honk behind us so I turned around and saw Austin's truck coming up behind us. He hit the van and all of a sudden the van flipped into a ditch.
