Justin landed another punch as Zach staggered backwards.

I pushed my way foward and tried to get to them so i could get him to stop. While i loved seeing Zach get what he deserved, i didn't enjoy the fact that id bring Jenna an injured child back home.

Zach had only landed one punch on Justin so far, but there was blood pooling at his lip and that was enough to worry me.

He was about to hit him again when i pulled his arm and pulled him to me.

He had an angry look as he turned around to see who stopped him. As soon as he saw it was me, he calmed down, but not enough to change his mind about smashing Zach's face in apparently.

"Why did you do that?!" He asked.

"You need to calm down!" I shouted.

I dragged him up the stairs and pulled him into a room.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I asked once i closed the door and we couldn't hear the shouts from downstairs.

"That asshole deserved way more. If only you weren't such a girl and stopped me!" He answered.

"Excuse me? Whats that supposed to mean?!"

"I mean that what you did back there was beyond stupid! Why did you?" He asked.

I opened my mouth to reply when he interrupted me and said the most absurd thing ever.

"Oh i get it. You sill have feelings for the jerk, don't you?" He asked.

"What?! No!" I answered.

"Oh please Sofia, he told me." He said with an eye roll.

"And you believe him before me?" I asked in disbelief.

"Oh wow. Thats rich. Because I didn't once doubt you, even after you made my life a living hell and then left as if nothing happened." I fired back.

"Oh I'm sorry, did you expect me sit down and heal your wounds? You weren't all that great either, stop playing innocent." He answered.

I scoffed.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked him.

"I never did anything to you. I was nothing but nice. Even after you betrayed my trust and read my diary to your filthy friends, i still offered to help you and be there for you when your parents divorced. And what did you do? YOU TOLD THE WHOLE DAMN SCHOOL THAT I TRIED TO GET YOU IN BED!" I was screaming but it felt damn good to get it off my chest.

"Now tell me Justin how do you think it felt having all those people making fun of me saying that, i, the overweight girl with severe acne, tried to get you into bed." I poked his chest hard.

"Thats right. You have no freaking idea, because you don't know what it's like to be disliked by so many people. And then, you came back and of course i forgave you, i had thought you changed. Turns out you are still the insensitive asshole you always were." I challenged.

He stayed silent.

"Just...get me home. I don't want to be here anymore." I said as i turned around and opened the door, getting out of there. "Fight till you drop for all i care."

<><><>

I was leaning against Justin's Camaro waiting for him to get out faster.

He finally did and didn't spare me a glance as he opened the car door and got in.

Oh...it was open this whole time.

I bit back my embarrassment and got in also.

And as soon as i did, he started the car.

We were at a red light, when he finally spoke up.

"Do you want me to drive you to Beth's or are you okay at mines?" He asked.

"No. Just get me home. My actual home." I answered quietly.

Guess i had to suck in my pride and finally talk to my 'parents'.

He looked at me before looking back forwards.

<><><>

Justin stopped the car in front of my house.

He turned to me and tried to say something.

"Look, im sor-"

I opened the door and got out before he could finish.

I slammed the door closed (not slammed slammed, i did it lightly cause even though Justin was a jerk at the moment, his car had nothing to do with it).

I rang the bell and waited for someone to open the door when i heard Justin's car start up and leave.

I peeked a look and saw that he indeed, left.

I sighed and looked down.

The door finally opened and revealed Selena.

She widened her eyes as i smiled pathetically.

"Hi?"

<><><>

"So are you back for good?" She asked me.

"I think so." I answered. "I'd want nothing more than to have my own place and just leave but i can't afford that just yet." I explained.

"But-"

"And I don't want to ask Catherine for anything." I added.

"I guess that understandable." She agreed.

"Listen," she started. "Im sorry about not telling you. You were kind of ignoring me at the time."

"It's okay. Im over it." I replied.

She hesitated before adding, "why leave, Sofia?" I opened my mouth to answer before she added, "I understand your feelings, but you're still my sister and they're still our parents."

I sighed and nodded. "You're right."

She gave me a smile and placed her hand on top of mine.

"But.." i started once again and she looked at up at me shocked. "But i can't stay here anymore. And not cause- cause they're not my real parents but its also time, dont you think? I'll be starting college soon anyway."

My sister seemed conflicted but she nodded anyway. "I understand."

<><><>

Me and Selena were in the living room, when i heard my mother shout.

"Selena! Where are you? I kinda need help, sweetheart!"

Selena quickly stood up and helped my mother carry her shopping bags on the table.

"Sofia. You're back." My mother said once she finally noticed me.

"Yup." I answered awkwardly.

"Well then, care to explain what went through your mind when you decided to be a rebel and just leave without telling your parents where the hell you were going?" She asked, raising her voice a little.

I scoffed.

"As if you care." It was a quiet mutter but she still heard it.

"Then, what exactly are you doing coming back?" She asked as she placed her hand on her hip.

I opened my mouth to reply when my dad came in also.

"Sofia!" He exclaimed as he rushed to me and hugged me.

"Don't scare me like that! Next time tell me where you're going so i can at least worry less." He said.

I guess it was a little bit stupid of me to leave without telling my father where. My mother might not care but my dad is a completely different story.

"Well there you have it. Shes back! Now you can stop blaming me for something that isn't my fault at all." My mother mumbled as she picked up her stuff and went to her room.

"You are back right?" My dad asked.

"Yes." I answered and gave him a small smile.

<><><>

I went into my room and jumped in my bed, instantly feeling better.

I looked at my phone and noticed that i had 3% battery left.

I also had 13 new messages from Justin.

I felt kinda bad cause i was a little harsh on him at the party.

I read through the messages (which consisted of him saying that he's sorry and he shouldn't have listened to Zach) and decided to give him a call.

My phone shut off before i had the chance to.

I groaned and let my head hit the pillow.

<><><>

I woke up the next day with an excruciating headache and in no mood to go to school.

After i took a relaxing shower and brushed my teeth,

I got dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and a simple gray hoodie, not feeling well enough to dress up. My argument with Justin still clouded my mind.

I brushed my hair and put it up in a lazy bun, pulling out front pieces to look slightly more presentable.

I skipped breakfast and just went to my car and drove to school.

<><><>

Once i finally arrived hel- school, i started looking for Justin. Wanting to apologize and all.

But i never got the chance to because a girl approached me.

"Hi! Are you you Sofia?" She asked with a massive grin.

I nodded my head.

"Im Natasha. Can we talk for a second?"

<><><>

A/n

I said i have a lot of things planned. And i do. I just don't know how to write them without it to seem like its rushed.

And I don't know why but my writing is really bad. And i know im not posting much, but please keep in mind that i also have school work i have to take care of. I'll try my best in uploading as much as i can.

If i still have readers that is.

Haha, i LITERALLY lost ALL my readers these last few chapters.

If you're still reading then can you please comment something? Anything.

If you want. Only if you want. I just get so excited when i read how you guys feel and what you think whilst reading something that i wrote. Me, the laziest person on the world.

So let me know if you guys are still here and comment.

Also, do you guys think im rushing the story too much? I think i am right? Or am i going too slow? I don't know, this is my first story tbh.

A'ight. I have a bonus video to go wait for. I'll see you guys next time.

PEACE!
✌️
