@Luna AmoreBoy, did she ever need that hug from Natalia.
No, Harley wasn't comfortable yet to talk about it, and she may never be. Jack, he was more than her big brother. He was her best friend. The two were inseperable as children, even as they grew into their teens, always racing each other on their horses or staying up late playing videogames and watching movies. He was there to protect her whenever bullies picked on her at school or to tell a stupid joke to make her laugh.
Just like her mom, she wished he didn't go into the Marines, but it's what he loved, and she couldn't deny him that. But still...she was afraid something like this would happen to him.
With a sigh, she smiled, her voice a frail whisper.
"Thanks...Natalia." Even if things were grim for her, at least Nat would be there to cheer her up.
She followed her friend into the chemistry lab and sat beside her.
Come on, Harley. Cowgirl up. Jack wouldn't want you ballin' your eyes out here. This is supposed to be a special day for you! I mean, you just met the sweetest girl ever, and your photography teacher's such a cool guy! You should be happy today, girl! So c'mon! Be happy!
"Pft! Yeah. Your best friend..." Helena spoke bitterly in reply. Like Madison would ever have a
best friend when she was too busy fucking anyone and anything within a square mile of her, including Helena's own
best friend. Fuck it though, who needed friends if they were gonna stab you in the back one day? Not Helena. Sure, she had her group she liked to party with and get high, but that was it. Nothing more.
"That's some friend you got, Amelia, leaving you all alone for a piece of ass, but fuck it. What do I know? I'm just a lonely stoner who prefers to be alone. Admittedly though...I do feel sorry for you. I guess you were crying your eyes out because of her, right?"
