"Tia, back so soon?"
"Yeah. I'm going to bed now, ok? I'm real tired" Of course this was a lie. Mom looked at me sceptically; maybe she thought I was going to do something again.
"Are you sure you don't want dinner?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry I'm just real tired ok? Good night"
"Good night" Mom replied with a look of concern. I walked into my room and changed into my nightwear before turning off my light and climbing into my bed. It was at that time that I decided tomorrow night, I was going to get real drunk and forget everything. I fell asleep with that comforting thought in my head.
FRIDAY
"Tia, honey?" I groaned and looked at the clock, it was ten! How did I sleep in so late? Oh no, I was late for school! "Do you want your breakfast now?" I looked and saw Mom was carrying a tray. I sat up, rubbing my eyes. Mom handed me the tray and sat down on my bed. She was silent as I ate my breakfast.
"Have I done something wrong?" Oh no, she's going to get emotional on me.
"Mom, I really don't need this, alright? Just leave me alone and I will sort it out myself" Mom looked hurt. I was hurting a lot of people lately.
"You don't understand what you mean to me, Tia. If you did you would not have done it" I moved the tray onto the ground and moved out of the bed,
"I told you to leave me alone! You have no idea how hard everything is on me because if you did then you would understand why I did it" I grabbed some clothes and went to the shower. I could hear Mom crying. All I wanted was to feel clean and forget everything. Slowly I took off the bandages and plasters covering my arms and looked at what I had done to myself. I climbed into the shower and felt myself fall away from the world as the warm water washed over myself. As I dried myself off there was a knock on the door,
"Tia, Soda is here to see you"
"Tell him to go away, I don't want him here" I heard Mum sigh and then walk away. What was he doing here anyway? I didn't want to see him and he knew that! I opened the door and walked straight to my room. I could hear talking. I walked into the kitchen and there was Soda talking to Mum. They looked they were having a pretty serious conversation.
"She's just been through so much and I don't think she's coping well so," I cut Mum off
"So if you get out of my house I will feel like I could cope better"
"Tia, do not be so rude!"
"I will stop being rude when you both just back off! And Soda I'm pretty sure you have work!"
"I got the day off," He said quietly, looking away from me. I was so angry,
"Well go spend it with your friends!" I then walked out of the house. I realised how dangerous it was to be going out alone again but I wasn't really thinking properly. I walked to the Dingo and ordered some chips.
"Hey Tia" It was Steve. I grabbed my chips and walked over to a table, ignoring him. "I thought you were tuff, but now I just think you're a cold heartless bitch! You think you're better than us that's the only reason why you don't want to know any of us. Soda was really hurt when he came back yesterday. You think you've got some real big problems and that's why you have to ignore us. We all have problems, Tia! Just get over yourself you're not as great as you think you are!" I had enough; I turned around and punched him real hard. I was so angry with everybody and he just wound me up enough to be on the receiving end of the anger.
"You have no fucken clue so get a fucken life and leave me the fuck alone!" I then quickly walked out of the dingo before Steve could retaliate. I walked over to a park. I sat down on the fountain and placed my head in my hands, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I didn't mean to make anyone angry but I was doing it so well! It was at least an hour before I was interrupted
"Tia?" It was Sodapop. I looked away, ashamed of how I had treated him.
"I'm sorry, Soda. I don't know what's wrong with me, and I didn't mean to hurt you. Everything's just real screwed up at the moment" Soda sat down next to me,
"Don't be sorry, Tia. You are going through a hard time and you're just trying to cope with it. Just please don't block everybody out"
"I'm sorry, Soda. That's the only thing I can do. If I get to know you or your friends then all it will bring is more hurt and confusion so I'm sorry" I got off the side of the fountain and walked away from Soda yet again.
FRIDAY NIGHT
I changed into the only skirt I had in my wardrobe and a plain black boob tube. I pulled on some knee high black boots and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I turned away and walked out of my bedroom.
"I'm going out ok Mum?"
"Where are you going dressed like that?"
"A party. Be back at midnight. Bye" I then walked out the door without hearing whatever Mum said. I walked over to Buck's house only barely remembering where it was. I could already hear music and I wasn't even in the house yet. I opened the door and instantly my vision was clouded over by smoke. I looked around and realised how I didn't really want to be here alone when I heard my name being called out.
"Tia! Over here!" It was Tim! I slowly walked over to him and sat on the couch next to him. He turned his attention away from the slut he was talking to and paid full attention to me now, looking me up and down. "Wow you look great" I smiled shyly. "So how are you liking Tulsa so far?" I shrugged.
"I hate it"
"Yeah heard about your suicide attempt. I'm glad you didn't go through with it" I looked down at my bandaged arms and then smiled at Tim. He was glad I didn't go through with it!
"Let's go somewhere a bit quieter! Upstairs maybe?" I nodded and followed his lead going up the stairs. We sat down on the bed and talked for about five minutes before Tim made a move. He kissed me roughly and then his hands started to move around on my body. I pushed him away,
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
"Well what else happens in bedrooms at these parties?" He grinned. "Plus you were inviting it dressed like that! Come on, let's have a little fun!" Tim tried to force himself onto me but I just pushed him away.
"Have fun screwing a slut, Tim because you ain't getting nowhere with me you fucken sleaze" I walked out of the bedroom, feeling disgusted with myself. Of course he would have only wanted that, I mean he ain't the committed type! I was fooling myself thinking that I would have a serious relationship with him.
"You stupid fool! You don't want to get to know anybody, remember?" I muttered myself as I walked out of the house. I then started to walk home but instead of going home, I went to go see Soda.
