JO

after a 10 minute walk with cesar and his friend we finally made it to her house, cesar held me as she unlocked the door and she held the door open for cesar and i

we walked in and he set me down on the couch while his friend followed in behind us

I winced as i checked the bottom of my feet that's covered with dried blood and dirt

"i can help you with that" cesar says

"thanks but i think you should get home, i can take care of it" i say

"she's right, oscar probably wondering where you are right now" the girl said

"you sure?" cesar asked

"yeah" she said as I nodded my head

"okay" he says giving the girl a hug

"I'll see you in the morning" cesar say before walking himself out and closing the door behind him

"what do you need for your foot?" The girl asked

"um a warm rag, some peroxide, tweezers and a bowl" I says

"on it" she says walking away

couple minutes later she comes back into the living room with all the stuff, she gives me the warm rag and set down the rest of the stuff beside me

before sitting down in front of me "I'm monse by the way" she says

"jo" I say

"nice to meet you" she says

"you too" I say as I begin to clean some of the dried blood and dirt off one of my feet

I then tried my best to get the biggest shards of glass out first, once i was successful a couple times i put the glass in the bowl i did this on both feet

then i poured peroxide on the rag and wiped both feet, I winced as I used the tweezers to get the small pieces of glass

"so monse is it just you that lives here?" I asked

"no, I live with my dad but he's gone, on a business trip" she says

"does he usually leave you alone?" I asked

"no i usually have a babysitter, but I'm getting older" she says

"what about you?, you got a dad?" She asked

"I don't like talking about him" i say

"what about your mom?" she asked

"She's dead" I say

"I'm sorry" she says

"it's okay, you didn't know" i say giving her a reassuring smile

"i mean understand my dad and i don't talk about my mom" she says

"where is she?" I asked

"she left when i was little" she says

"I'm sorry" I say

"It's okay" she says

"did you get all the glass out?" She asked

"Yeah, I think so" I say wiping my feet's with the rag that has peroxide on it

"can you give me some socks, i need to keep them covered" I say/asked

"sure" she says walking away before coming back couple seconds later with some socks

"thanks" i say

"no problem" she says

"how old are you?" I asked putting the socks on

"15" she says

"you?" She asked

"I just turned 19 a week ago" I say

"happy belated birthday" she says

"thanks" I smiled

"so you and cesar" I trailed

"what about cesar and I?" She asked

"I can tell you guys are together or something happened between you and him" I say

"is it that obvious?" she asked

"not to some people" I say

"but you noticed" she says

"I did, let's just say I'm experienced" I say

"what happened between you and him?" I asked

"we slept together then i went off to writers camp and he's been dealing with his own problems" she says

"he says he is trying to protect me but i don't know, I just don't wanna ruin the dynamic of our friend group and I just wish everything could go back the way it was" she says

"if it was he'll still care for you" I say

"what you mean?" she asked

"if you guys never slept together i don't think his feelings towards you wouldn't of changed" I say

"you think he'd liked me before we even slept together?" She asked

"Yeah, I've known Cesar for 2 days now and I already know what type of guy he is" I say

We talked some more as she order some pizza for dinner, and we both fell asleep on a pallet in her living room
