[ Let's Pretend We're Numb ] XXXTENTACION Fanfic

01

New beginnings have never struck me as exciting. Every new beginning I have been given has led to more discord. Yet, here I am again facing a new beginning with no sort of hope left.

Today was the day I was finally leaving my house. I was finally moving out. Actually... no. I was getting kicked out if we're bein technical and all that good shi. Was I ready? Hell no. My crazy mom had finally cracked, I was being abandoned, not like I wasn't used to it...

Name : Alex Benavidez
Age : 18 (Virgo, 08/24/00)
Ethnicity : Mexican and White
Origin : Houston, Texas

My name is Alex, but most people just call me Benni, I'm from Houston. My life up until now has been... rough to say the least. My dad left, grandma died, mom went crazy, friends died, I can go on and on. I'm not here to talk about the past, it is what it is.

Anyways, My mom. We have been in a tough spot. With little money and zero help we cant pay for our house. Recently her filthy rich boyfriend broke up with her, leaving her in pieces. Of course, I'm here to save the day. How you may ask? I'm a human punching bag. No really it's fine. After years of emotional abuse I've learned to numb it away almost completely. Almost.

A few days ago I too finally snapped and told her I wasn't going to take it anymore. Now I'm kicked out. Lovely.

Now I sat in Miami International Airport with my earbuds drove into my ears blasting music. I sat looking into space outside as more and more planes took off and landed. Wow, I'm really away from home. I'm scared. Was reappearing over and over in my mind. I took a deep breath. Can't let Azul know that.

Azul is my best friend. I met her over Instagram 5 years ago and we bonded quickly. She hasn't left me since, and now I was finally meeting her. She had the courage to leave her home and get her own place. She wasn't well off, but hey it was better than either of our hells. She invited me here and said I could stay and help her with rent. The day after I bought a ticket and here I am.

Name : Azul Sanchez
Age : 17 (Taurus, 05/18/01)
Ethnicity : Mexican, Native, White
Origin : Atlanta, Georgia

Suddenly, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I hesitantly took an earbud out of my ear and turned around to see a guy with hella tattoos covering his body and even face. I blinked slowly at him. "May I help you?" I said plainly. He smiled some, "you alone ma?" He said. I nodded slowly, looking around myself. "Yeah, what's good?" I asked. He geeked over me. "How a pretty ass girl like you alone? Mind if I keep you company?" He smiled. I studied him.

He had a curly blonde dyed poof on his head with shaved sides. Again, he had tattoos covering his body, but distinct facial tats. A rose going up his neck and cheek, a music note in between his eyebrows, and some Chinese or Japanese writing under his eye. He was pretty cute, but he'd prolly disappear though so eh.

"Sure, If you want." I shrugged giving him a slight smile. With that he plopped down next to me. "What's ya name ma?"He smiled. Why ma? I sighed. "I'm Alex, but er'body calls me Benni." I shrugged. He nodded. "Benni? I like it. What you doin here?" He continued. "I..-" I contemplated what to tell this stranger. Eh it didn't matter anyways. "Got kicked out, I'm from Houston.. imma live with a friend." I continued. He raised an eyebrow. "Damn aight." he nodded. "I'm Kimetrius, but you can call me Skies." He winked at me. I laughed some. "Skies? Aight."

-

Me and Skies talked for a bit. He seemed pretty cool, and other than him constantly referring to me as ma I had no problems.

"So Benni you tryna give me ya number?" Skies smiled at me. I rolled my eyes playfully. "I guess..." I sighed pretending to be annoyed. "Girl, you lucky you fine. This attitude of yours is mean as fuck." He laughed taking out his phone. I laughed with him.

"Ayo, BITCHHH." Me and Skies turned to see a girl with half n half dyed hair run towards us. I grinned immediately getting up. "AZUUU!!!" I cried hugging her as she came. She smiled, hugging me back. "Oh my god! It's so good to finally meet you!!" She geeked. We both laughed.

Azul peeped Skies over my shoulder. "Whose he?" She said immediately getting protective. "That's Skies." I laughed. He waved awkwardly. Ew cute. "What's good ma?" He smiled finally. Azul raised an eyebrow. "Interesting." She whispered, nodding. "Hey, I was keeping my new best friend company, while you was bein late." He shrugged. I swear in that moment Azul had laser eyes. "Um, negative." She laughed sarcastically while sucking her teeth. "This is my best friend." She said slanting her eyes at him.

Skies laughed standing up. "Aight, bestfriend." He smiled at me. "Imma go, my flight is leavin. Number?" He said, handing me his phone. I quickly put in my number, handing the phone back to him. "Bet, bye bestfriend!" He said happily giving me a side hug. "Bye shawty~" He coed at Azul, ruffing her hair before smoothly walking away.

Azul fummed yelling at him as he walked away from us. I laughed to myself. What just happened ?
