Chapter 6

I woke up the next morning with a throbbing in my right wrist. I looked down at it and saw dry blood on the gauze I had put on it earlier that morning. I got up and headed to the bathroom. Once I was in the bathroom, I did my business and got undressed. I turned the shower on and while I was waiting for the shower to heat up I took off the bandage. Once the bandage was off, I washed it out and it stung like a bitch. While it was still burning, I jumped in the shower. The hot water felt nice on my skin. I took a quick shower and got dressed in a black Bullet for My Valentine t-shirt, black skinny jeans, black arm warmers with chains, and black converse. When I finished getting dressed, I went back to thebathroom and put red makeup finishing that, I put my contacts in. I walked out of the bathroom and back out into my room.

I left my room and walked into the kichen to get some breakfast. I opened the pantry and grabbed some ramen. I crushed up the ramen and put it in a bowl. I then took out a kettle and filled it with water. I put it on the right burner and waited for the water to took ten minutes for the water to boil and when it did I put the flavor packet in it. Then I poured the water in the bowl and moved the bowl to the island. I sat down on the island and put the bowl in my lap. I started eating it and I soon heard a door open. I continued to eat the delicious food,while waiting for the person to show themself.

Serenity came into the kitchen and said, "Is there some more water in the kettle?"

I nodded my head because I had a mouthful of noodles. I felt my arm warmers slip a bit and before I got the chance to pull them back up to hide the scars,Serenity was pulling them off. I grimanced as she gasped at the new wounds on my right wrist. She looked up at me and said, "How long has this been going on?"

I could hear the concern in her voice. I looked down at my Converse clad feet and said, "I don't know. I lost count after the second time going over the old ones."

She gasped in shock when she noticed the scars had been run over with my razor blade many times. I kept looking at my shoes and ignored her curious face. She looked up at me and said, "Where is your cutting stuff?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have any cutting stuff," I said in a very unconvincing way.

She lft the room without saying a singl word. She went into my room and came out a few minutes later with my cutting box. I gulped when I saw that she found the little box. She smirked and said, "I am throwing this thing out. You will never be allowed to see it ever agin. Do I make myself clear?"

I nodded my head and got off the counter because I had finished my breakfast. I put the bowl in the dishwasher and went into my bathroom to brush my teeth. When I finished brushing my eteeth, I headed out the door and went down to sit by the pool with my guitar. I started playing a few cords on the guitar from one of the songs I was currently trying to write. While I was sitting there, I heard someone say, "Yo, Master Splinter!"

I looked up at to see who it was and saw James standing there. I smirked and said, "What do you want, Pretty Boy?"

"We were wondering when you were going to teach us to skate. We are off today and so are you, so will you teach us?" he asked while looking me directly in the eyes.

I nodded and got up from my seat and said,"Ok but give me some time to get ready because i have to put my stuff away and put my pads on. Can you get the guys ready for me, please?"

He nodded his head and left. I left shortly after he did and headed up to my appartment. I put my guitar away and found five boards. Then I put on my pads and helmet and left the appartment with the five boards.

I went over to the boys' appartment and knocked on the door. A lady with red hair and a sweet smile on her gentle face opened the door and said, "You must be Abby. Come on in."

She moved out of the way of the door and I walked into the tricked out apppartment. I sat down on their couch and said, " So Kendall told you about me right?"

She nodded and said, "You're the only thing he has been talking about lately."

I smiled a tiny bit at this fact and jumped when I heard Logan say, "He was talking about you in his sleep and it was kinda freaking me out."

I got a wierded out look on my face and said, "That's not creepy at all."

I was being totally sarcastic and both of them laughed at me. I smirked just a little and then i heard another one of the guys walk up. He looked at the three of us and said, "What are you guys laughing at?"

Logan got a serious look on his face and said, "Obviously you don't know what sarcasm is. If you did you would have know that when Abby said that she was joking."

"Oh, I get it now," said Carlos while taking one of the boards from me.

I sighed and the other two boys walked in at the same time. I got up from the couch and handed the other boy's their boards. Then I handed them some pads too. They put them on along with some helmets and we headed out the door. I took them to the skate park inside the Palm Woods Park and had them sit down on the boards. I stated out with the basics and said, "First i want you guys to stand on the boards as if you were going to ride it."

They did as I said and stood on the boards. I had to fix a few of their postures because unfourtunaly it looked as if they had never seen someone skate before. I instructed them to hold out their arms for balance. They did so and I said, "If you don't hold out your arms for balance, bad things can happen."

Carlos cocked his head to the side and said, "What could happen if you didn't put your arms out?"

I did a demonstration by not holding my arms out while boarding. ifell off the board because of it. I then showed them the proper way to ride a board and not fall off. They nodded their heads and I let Kendall have the first go at it. He performed it perfectly which is what i expected him to do. Next was Logan, who used math to help him figure out how to keep himself perfectly balanced. He executed it perfectly. Next was James,who fell multiple times until he got it right. Finally it was Carlos's turn. Just as I had expected, he fell many many times and had to be sent to the hospital because he broke an arm. We ended the lesson there and called it a day.

After i thought all of the guys had left and gone home, I started skating around the skate park. I was enjoing the wind through my hair and the late afternoon sun on my face.I loved the way the sun kissed my vampire pake skin. I was in my own little world until, I heard someone skating up behind me. I stopped skating and turned around. I looked up and saw a six foot tall blonde skating up to me. I couldn't see who it was because the person was too far away to tell. Once the person got closer, I could tell that it was Kendall. He stopped next to me and said, "Um... i was wondering if you would like to um... go on a um... date with me?"

I nodded my head and smiled an actual smile. My smile was huge and I said, " I would love to, Kendall. Where do you want to go?"

"How about we go to a resurant and then to a movie?" he said but it sounded more like a question.

I nodded my head and said, "That sounds good. I think that that would be a lot of fun."

He noddeed and we talked about what we were going to do the next night, the entire way home. When we got to my appartment, he kissed me on the cheek. We said good night to eachother and kept looking at eachother until we went into our appartments. Once I was in my appartment, I saw Alex, Mikey, Serenity, Cat and my mother sitting on the couch. I took my gear off and set them by the door. Then I went over and sat on the couch with the same smile on my face. I messed up my brothers' hair as I sat down. They both looked at me and said, " What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. I am just really happy," I said while smiling really big.

My brothers' both exchanged scared looks and said, "I think that hell has finally frozen over, Abby is finally showing emotion."

I laughed an actual laugh. They both got up off the couch and screamed, "Oh My God, it's the end of the world."

They ran off and continued screaming. I laughed harder and got up off the couch. I ruffled Cat's hair and walked into the kitchen. I made myself a salad and began eating it. It tasted good and the satissfying dried fruit that I had put in it. Once I ghad finished my salad, I put my bowl in the dishwasher after I had rinsed it. I then said, "Goodnight, Mom, Serenity and Cat. I will see you in the morning. "

They nodded and smiled at me. I walked into my room and got dressed into my pajamas. I then turned on my iPod and put Honor Society on. I always put them on when I needed some cheering up or whan I was happy,which was rare.

I crawled into bed while See You in the Dark was playing. I snuggled under the sheets of my bed and fell into a peaceful sleep. I was dreaming about my date with Kendall the next night.
