"I was gonna to go to Brittni's"

"Don't you want to stay with me?" Bradin asked

"Of course I do"

Some guy walked up to me. He looked so familiar, he was in a orange jump suit.

"C'mon Lana, lets go. We're going back to Florida"

"I'm not going anywhere"

"Lana, I am your father, you follow what I say"

"I'm not a little kid anymore"

"You don't have anywhere to go, its me or the streets"

"I'm with Bradin, there is no streets for me"

"The time is almost up, you have to leave that house this summer"

"Then, I would rather be on the streets then be with you"

"I said you follow what I say" my father smacked me

"Hey,hey, hey, hey, don't have to smack her" Bradin stepped in

"Telling me what I can and can't do to my daughter?"

"You've done many things to your daughter that she never deserved"

"She deserves all the punishment she can get"

"No, she doesn't"

Bradin grabbed both of my shoulders and turned me away from the scene. when he made me turn I heard a punch. I turned and Bradin was on the ground

"Don't you ever tell me what to do" My dad said pointing down at Bradin

"What the fuck did you do?" I yelled at my dad

"No,no, not the first time I got hit" Bradin said

"Lets go Bradin" I said

Bradin and I walked away and went to his place

"Bradin, what the hell? Why did you take that punch? Whats wrong with you?" I dabbed the gauz on the side of his eye lid

"Ow!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, but why did you do it?"

"I love you, I needed to stand up for you"

"For real? You really do? I never actually believed you"

"Yeah, I really do"

I hugged Bradin really tight

"Ow, that really hurts"

"Oh I'm sorry...again"

"Yeah, I don't care, when was the last time you hugged me anyway?"

"Uh, I don't know"

"Yeah, thats what I thought" Bradin smiled

"Since when did you think?"

"Since I met you"

"What? Did I knock some brain into you when I came to California?"

"Yeah, maybe, not like I would know" Bradin laughed

we were still in the bathroom, and he went and game me a quick kiss

"The truth aint easy" Bradin said

"Sometimes it is"

"You know, the one word that I never heard you say was 'Dude'"

"Well, I think mostly surfers say that, and I'm no surfer"

"Yeah, you are"

"No one knows that"

"Shhh! They don't know that"

"Okay, I wont say anything"

"Where's the gauz?"

"Where'd you put it?"

"Well, it was on you eye"

"It's not my fault my eye lost it"

"It's not my fault that your eye was attached to you"

"Was!"

"Is"

"Okay"
