Remember Me.
**Chapter 24**
Six months passed. I was still living here, but I got used to the
ways of life here. I had friends but couldn’t ever see
them. I was in my bedroom. Grandpa Ron wasn’t home. I
decided to watch some TV. Literally nothing good was on so I just
put it on international news. ‘GANG SHOOTING IN NY THIS
WEEK’ was the headline. Hmmm, I wonder if Jenni knows the
gang. “It’s a series of unfortunate events. 3 teen
locals were shot by a gang of people in an alley off of the city
this past week. It was fatal for two of the poor teens. Poor
souls, Keyana ‘Keke’ Georgeton, Frank Biddleton, and
Jennifer Johnson were the three victims. Keyana also known as
Keke was the only one of the three who survived the shooting.
Frank and Jennifer were shot and murdered by suspected gang
members, Hank Freetem and William Arosot. If you know where Hank
and William are located or have any information on the murders
please contact authorities now.” I couldn’t help but
cry. And cry. And cry. And cry a whole lot more. I call
Jenni’s phone. No answer. “No. No. No. No. No. Tell
me it’s not true!” I cry. Jenni’s full name was
Jennifer Johnsoon. It even showed her school ID picture on the
news. She cant be gone. She got caught up with drugs
again… She must have. I grab my phone again.
“Oh hi sweetheart” Teresa cries.
“Tell me it isn’t true Teresa! It cant be!” I
cry.
“It is, Sadie. I know I cant believe it either”
“She was my best friend!” I yell.
“She was my only daughter!” She yells back.
We both cry together on the phone. I had money saved up. I buy a
plane ticket and plan to leave tomorrow. I am going to New York.
I refuse to miss her funeral. I don’t care the risks of
getting in trouble. How could she be dead! I didn’t sleep
much that night. I cried none stop. I get up at 3 in the morning
instead of 4 so I could sneak out before my grandpa awakes. I
left a note that said:
“I left on a plane. My best friend was shot and murdered I
will be attending her funeral. I may or may not come back. Sorry,
sir. Thank you grandpa Ron for dealing with me these past 6
months. I know it must have been a hand full. Sincerely,
Sadie.”
I boarded the plane and arrived in New York within hours. KNOCK
KNOCK. I pound on Teresa’s door. She opens the door; she
looks just as bad as I do.

**Chapter 23**
My alarm goes off at 7. I wake up to many texts from people saying goodbye. Including Jack. His text meant the most to me. It said: ‘goodbye, Sadie. Have a safe flight and let me know if its as bad as you thought. Even though I hate to admit it I will miss you. A lot. I wish we had a chance. But please. Always remember me’. I almost cried reading that. It might not seem like much but it was. Jenni and I are both at the airport. Our flights boarded at the same time. They called the flights. We hugged and said our goodbyes then turned and walked in complete opposite directions. I was afraid that Jenni would fall back into drugs in NY. Moving here, kept her away from it. I fell asleep on the flight. I awoke as we landed. I get my luggage and meet my grandpa Ron outside. I put all my bags in the car. “What is that in your nose?” He snaps. I took out all my piercings but managed to forget that one. “Oh, sorry sir.” I spoke while taking it out. “And what’d you do to your hair? Dip it in a paint bucket?” He mocks. “No sir. I will dye it back immediately.” “No. We’ll just cut the colored part off.” He suggests. “No!” I yell. He whips his head and glares at me. “What did you just say to me?” He yells. “No! You are not coming close to my hair with any scissors. I will fix it. SIR!” I snap. He shakes his head in disgust. We enter the house and he tells me my room is upstairs on the left. Then he hands me this piece of paper with messy chicken scratch on it. It was his handwriting. This was the paper…

I was living in a h/ll hole. I carry my baggage to my room. “What is that? On your shoulder?” He questions. “My tattoo, sir” I tell him. “Your what?” “I already had it, sir” I pleaded. He walked away. I locked myself in the bathroom and dyed my hair to its natural color. I also cried. For hours.
***Well. That’s not pleasant. Please don’t ask to be notified, I no longer do them! Sorry. Fave if you’re reading, Thanks! –lamusicaesmivida***

**Chapter 22**
I got dressed and went to school. I made sure to wear a shirt
that would show off my new tat. This is the last day I’m
attending this school… I arrive. I tell Ashley as soon as
I saw her. She actually started to cry a little. “You just
got back to Michigan! Now you have to leave again!” She
pleads. “And Jenni will have to go back to New York and I
don’t have Henry so who will I have!? No one!” She
cries. I felt so bad and I comforted her. Evan walks up to me.
“Want to skip and have some fun?” He smirks.
“No”, I say, “I’m leaving tomorrow
morning so I just want to say bye to everyone”. I explain
it all to him. He actually looked sad. I didn’t care that
much though; I really just wanted to talk to Jack. I finally spot
him at lunch time. I walk up to him and his friends.
“Ooooo” all his friends moan to tease him.
“Jack, can I talk to you privately please?” I ask
nicely. “Nice tat.” He replies. He gets up and walks
with me. “I’m moving” I blurt, wasting no time.
“To where?” He actually seemed to care. “My
grandpa Ron’s house in Montana.”
“Why?”
“My parents are kicking me out and Jenni will have to move
back to NY”
“Kicking you out?” He questions.
“Yeah… they um.. found out I smoke. And my tat and
piercings”
“Why are you telling me this? Shouldn’t you talk to
Evan?”
“I did. I just wanted to tell you too, I guess. I
don’t care about Evan”
“And you care about me?”
“Yeah…. Yeah, I do.” I speak softly.
“A little late”
“Yeah, I know. That’s my fault. Along with everything
else”
“Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Its just your
grandpa’s house”
“Jack- my grandpa Ron is veteran war general. My curfew
will be 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I will have to wake up
at 4 every morning. I will not be allowed to wear any bottoms
shorter than knee-length no matter how hot the weather is. I will
have no life. I will not be able to do anything. My life is
over” I explain to him.
“It wont be that bad”
I laugh, “Yeah, sure..”
I finish out the school day and say goodbye to all my friends. I
go home and Jenni and I are both packing. She’s packing for
NY and I’m packing for Montana. My mother knocks on the
open door. “I’m sorry it came to this” She
says. “Yeah, me too.” I say. I finish packing and
both of our plane tickets are ready. I cried myself to
sleep.
***Poor Jack and Sadie. And Jenni. And Ashley. And Evan actually cared. Please don’t ask to be notified, I no longer do them! Sorry. Fave if you’re reading, Thanks! –lamusicaesmivida***
Remember Me.
**Chapter 21**
I sat in silence for a few minutes feeling guilty. Finally, I got up and told Jenni that I’d be back in a minute. I slowly creep down the hallway to go see my mom. I overhear a conversation between her and my father. “Maybe she needs to be sent away to my father’s” my dad suggests. My grandfather was a general in the war. He is very strict and doesn’t stand for any nonsense. I would never survive living with him. “Maybe staying with Ron would be good for her” my mother agrees. No, no, no, no, no, no! This cannot be happening. I run back to my room. “Jenni! Jenni! Jenni!” I cry. “What?” She asks with big eyes. “My parents want to send me to live with my grandpa Ron!!” I shriek. “That’s not good….” She says. “Yeah! Its not good. My grandpa is terrible!” I explain everything about him to her. “Oh my god! That would be terrible!” She finally gets it. “Go talk them out of it!” She suggests. “No, I cant. They cant know that I was eavesdropping or I’ll be in more trouble.” I tell her. “That’s true.” She agrees. “So, what are you going to do?” She asks. “Pray they change their minds.” I whisper. “If they make me leave then you’ll have to move back to New York” I tell her. “I know. It sucks because I just got here.” I nod in agreement. Jenni and I both go to sleep.
----------
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
I awake to my alarm. It’s 5 o’clock in the morning. I
wake up and walk downstairs. I pour myself a cup of coffee. Jenni
does the same. Soon after my mother and father both come down
too. “Dad, shouldn’t you be heading to work? Why are
you in your robe?” I ask. My dad has to usually be at work
by 5:30-6 o’clock. “I took the day off” He
said. “I did too.” My mom says. “Why?” I
ask curiously. “Just needed a day, okay?” She snaps.
“Okay” I nod quietly. “Jenni, would you please
go up to you two’s room? We need to talk to Sadie
privately.” My dad asks politely. “Sure thing”
Jenni agrees as she grabs her coffee and starts walking up the
stairs. “What?” I ask once I cant see Jenni anymore.
“Your mother and I have thought about this all night and we
think it would be best for you if you went to live with your
grandpa Ron for a while.” He states blankly. My mouth
drops. “If it’s about the tattoo, I’m
sorry!” I apologize. “It’s not about
that.” They say. “The piercings? I’ll take them
out.” I try to save myself. “Sweetie, it’s
everything. The things you are doing to your body. The late
nights. The boys. The attitude. Everything.” My mom
explains. “Mom! I can fix everything. Just don’t make
me go!” I plead. “Sweetie, I also found a lighter in
your dirty laundry.” She states. I went silent. She knows I
smoke. I’m ruined. And off to Grandpa Ron’s I
go.

**Chapter 20**
“We got that covered” I say. “Okay… That sounds fun…” Ashley agrees unsure. We all run out of the school before teachers see us and we hop into Ashley’s car. We arrived at the tattoo parlor shortly after. “You ladies are under 18 years of age and need consent signatures from your parents or legal guardians” a huge bald guy with a bunch of tattoos states as he hands us each a paper. “Sure thing, we will be back later after they sign; thanks!” I reply. “Shouldn’t you three be in school?” He questions as we are leaving. “Nope! Teacher day, so we have it off!” Jenni yells back as we exit. We get into the car and drive down the road to McDonalds. We each order and sit down. I forge my mother’s signature easily. Jenni does the same on hers. Ashley sits there with a pen very shaky. “Can you forge?” Jenni asks. “No, I never have…” “Do you have anything in your bag that one of your parents has signed?” I ask. “Umm.. I don’t think so…. Actually, yes! I do. My mother wrote me a check this morning to pay off a book I lost! Here!” She hands me the check and I study the signature. The form was kind of see-through, so I put the check underneath and traced the signature. It looked perfect! “Here.” I say as I hand her both the check and the consent form. We finish eating and about an hour later we arrived back at the parlor. The same guy was there. “Get signatures?” He asks right off. “Yes, we did!” Jenni says excitedly. “So, what are you guys getting for ink today?” He asks. We all stand there looking through books of tattoos before we decide. We all plan to surprise each other. We all come out of the rooms and show each other. We all loved each other’s. My tattoo says ‘free yourself’ with a feather that has birds flying out from it. It’s located on the back of my right shoulder. Ashley’s tattoo is the words ‘Believe in Yourself’ on her left wrist. And Jenni’s tattoo was the most outrageous out of all of ours. It went all the way from her ribs to her hip on her right side. It is black and consists of stems and roses. It’s beautiful. I love all of the tattoos we got. I just cant wait for our parents to see them! Sarcasm. We thank the guy and exit to the car. Ashley drops Jenni and I off and then goes home. Jenni and I just chill until my parents home. Then, we ran upstairs and took turns to take showers. Jenni took hers first. Then, I took one. I put on a tank and shorts and put my hair up in a bun. My mother barges in and I didn’t think much of it. But, my tattoo was showing… “What is that!!!!!” She yells. “You better hope that I find out this is only sharpie!!!!!” She yells more. “Mom…” “Oh my god.” She says starting to cry and drops the laundry basket. She runs off to her room. For once I feel guilty of my rebellion.

**Chapter 19**
Ashley slept over last night and her, Jenni, and I got to know each other so much better. Now, it’s the three of us. Against the world. We woke up for school and all of us got ready together. I put on a floral printed cropped bustier like top with a pair of white jean shorts. I also was wearing a pair of bright red heels accented with a rose on the toe. Ashley wore a strapless top that looks like a button up blue and white man’s shirt but it’s tied feminine like. She is also wearing blue jean shorts and blue high heel shoes. Jenni is wearing a royal blue bustier top with frayed jean shorts that look like a skirt, but it’s actually shorts. She paired the outfit with silver strappy heels. We all looked wonderful. Jenni and my hair is looking the same as usual with normal style of makeup. Ashley’s super long straight blonde hair goes down to her butt and her blue eyes have natural colored makeup on them. We all pile into Ashley’s car and go to school. As we walk in I could picture a movie scene. Like when the 3 gorgeous best friends walk into the high school like they own it. And everything’s in slow motion and our hair lusciously blows in the air as we walk. And everyone in the hall way has to turn to look at us. It felt great; I felt superior and confident. But, what else was knew… I was always confident. Then all of a sudden time sped up to normal as we approached Evan and Henry. “Baby, I’m sorry!” Henry pleaded to Ashley. “I’m not your ‘baby’ anymore, Henry. We’re over… Get lost” “Come on” He begs. “No go have fun with Kimmy” Ashley laughs as we keep walking. We all were smiling. Well I was until I saw Jack glaring at me. I make eye contact and he shakes his head and looks away. He slams his locker shut and starts walking down the hall. “I’ll catch up with you two later, Jenni I’ll see you in all of our classes” I whisper as I walk away. “Okay” they both reply. “Hey Jack! Hold up!” I yell as he walks faster pace. “Jack!” I keep calling after him. Finally I catch up and put a hand on his shoulder. He immediately whips around out of breathe from practically running. “What?” He snaps. “Why are you so mad at me?” I ask him, hoping for an answer. He rolls his eyes and turns back around leaving me answerless. “No.” I state as I jump in front of him in his path so he cant walk anymore. “Move.” He says briefly and sighs like I’m a huge pain in the a/ss. “Why?” I ask again. “Oh my god. You really want to know? Do I have to spell it out to you? You don’t already get it?” He mocks me. “Tell me” I say in a sad tone. “You smoke. You randomly hookup with your ex-boyfriend that’s a complete jack-a/ss to you and has cheated on you numerous times. You can be a huge b/tch and sl/t. You get wasted. You have bad decisions on choosing people. You probably do drugs. You changed, Sadie. A lot.” He states blankly. “I know I’ve changed Jack, but I’m still that girl you fell for in 8th grade on the inside. And I do not do drugs… anymore. And I am not a sl/t or a b/tch! Sure, I’ve made some bad decisions but that’s in the past. The past doesn’t matter to me…” I come back. “You’re right. And I am in your past, Sadie. So I shouldn’t matter, so just let me be. Leave me alone.” He breaks my spirit and leaves. He walks away and leaves me standing there alone. Ashley and Jenni approach me. “What just happened?” They ask. I still stand there silently and sad. “Sadie?” They freak out. “I just got an idea…” I finally speak slowly. “What?” They ask in unison. “Ahh! That’s a rebellious look!!” Jenni points out. “We should all skip and go get a tattoo” I suggest with a devious smile. Whenever I get crushed I get in a rebellious mood. Hence all my piercings. “I’m in!” Jenni replies quickly. Ashley thinks for a while… “Don’t we need legal signatures?” She finally asks.

**Chapter 18**
Ashley approaches. She had been crying. “Get your sl/tty
hands off my boyfriend!” She yells at Kimmy. Henry looks
scared. “What are you going to do about it?” Kimmy
comments while inhaling her cigarette. “Henry why are you
smoking? That’s disgusting.” Ashley ignores
Kimmy’s question. Kimmy walks right in front of Ashley and
blows her cigarette smoke in her face. Ashley’s face
scrunches up while holding back tears. And to make it worse
Kimmy, then walked over to Henry and started to make out with him
right in front of Ashley. That’s when Ashley broke. She
began to cry hysterically in front of all of us. Kimmy started
laughing. Evan ignored it and Henry didn’t do anything
except look a bit guilty. I gave Evan a peck and grabbed
Ashley’s arm. I threw her into the passenger side of her
car and I got in the drivers and drove. I drove to my house and
parked in the driveway. “Ashley… stop crying”
I pleaded while handing her tissues. She just stared at me
blankly. “Why are you being so nice to me? I’ve been
such a b/tch to you since I found out you smoked?” She
gasps.
“Deep down we are still emotionally best friends..” I
say in an almost whisper. She continues to blow her nose and wipe
her eyes. “Ashley, I have to come clean.” I say
feeling guilty. “It’s my fault.”
“What?”
“That Henry cheated… its my fault”
“Huh?” She sniffles.
“I texted you asking if we would ever be friends again
because I set Jenni and Henry up to hook up. You said no so I was
mad and set them up out of anger towards you. After Jenni and
Henry pecked lips once, I asked Jenni not to. And she was more
than glad because she knew I wouldn’t want her to because I
wouldn’t want to hurt you like that. Then Henry got mad and
called up Kimmy. I created his urge to cheat. Then I called you.
Because, well. I know personally what it’s like to be
cheated on… more than once and it has destroyed me,
Ashley. I used to be this perfect good girl with perfect grades
and a perfect life. Then, Evan cheated on me and I was wrecked.
Then when I moved to New York, I figured all relationships were
like that. So I didn’t trust anyone enough to be exclusive
so I just would be friends with benefits or do random hookups.
Then I fell into the wrong crowd of smoking, alcohol, drugs, s/x,
and more. I mean I love Jenni, she is my other best friend. But,
I changed. And I understand that you don’t like the me
I’ve become Ashley because well frankly, I wouldn’t
like me either. But, this is who I am now and I cant go back
because I can never be that perfect girl again. I pretended to be
in the beginning, but once Evan cheated on me for the second
round, she came back out. There’s no going back.”
Ashley looks at me stunned. I felt a tear roll down my cheek but
I quickly wiped it off with my hand. She leans over and hugs me.
“I’m sorry, Sadie.. You never told me the entire
story” She cries. “I miss being best
friends…” I blurt without thinking. “Me
too.” She agrees. We both smile and start to laugh for no
reason. We should not be laughing right now. “Want to sleep
over?” I ask. “My room is kind of small now that two
girls share it though” I add. She nods her head. We get out
of the car. “What’s up with all those piercings
anyways?” She jokes. “Oh you know, each one
represents rebelling against something” I laugh. We both
giggle as we enter the house. It felt good to have both my best
friends with me. Happily.

**Chapter 17** ---- PART 2
He calls her
and she’s on her way here. Her name was Kimmy. She’s
one of the sl/ts that attends our school. She finally gets here
and walks over. She reeks of beer and drugs. She looks smashed.
She is hanging all over him. Why am I getting so mad about some
wh/re hanging all over Henry? “I have to pee” I blurt
as I head towards the porter potty. I step inside and whip out my
phone. I didn’t really have to pee. I call her…
“What the f--- do you want?” Ashley greets.
“Ashley, listen…”
“What about ‘We will never be friends again’
didn’t you understand?”
“Ashley, listen!”
“Is all that cigarette smoke going to your brain?”
She interrupts again.
“Ashley listen to me you b/tch!” I yell.
“What?” She snaps.
“You are lucky that I am even calling you to tell you this.
Evan and I are at the park and Henry’s here… with
Kimmy. Yeah, that Kimmy. Just thought I would tell you before
they actually do anything.”
“The park by your house?” She speaks quietly.
“Yes.”
“I’ll be right there. Thanks Sadie…”
“Whatever.” I hang up.
It wasn’t even 15 minutes before Ashley showed up.
She’s making her way over as we are all smoking another
cigarette.

**Chapter 17** ---- PART 1
We get to the park and I already see Evan and Henry sitting and waiting. They are talking. “Hey sexy!” Evan calls as I get out of the car, then he whistles. Jenni and I casually walk over. I pretended like I wasn’t happy to see him even though I completely was. I walked up to him and sat on his lap as I took two cigarettes out. I handed one to him and I put it into his mouth. I lit both of ours and noticed Jenni already has one lit up and Henry looked confused. “You all smoke?” He finally asks. “Yeah man you should try it” Evan replies. “Sadie and I have for a while” Jenni adds. “Yeah and I got Evan hooked, kind of.” I say. Henry shrugs and reaches for one. I start to kiss Evan and run my fingers through his hair. I happen to glance over and Henry and Jenni are leaning in to kiss. What have I done. They peck then I yell, “Jenni! Can I talk to you for a second?” They both look shocked. “Sure..” Jenni replies and we start to walk away as they finish smoking. I whisper to Jenni, “I’m having second thoughts… I can hook you up with someone else… That’s Ashleys boyfriend and I still sort of have a best friend instinct.” I speak fast, mumbling out the words hoping Jenni wont get mad at me. “About time” she laughs. I was confused, “What?” I ask. “Yeah, I was waiting for you to stop me… I knew Sadie that deep down you still care about Ashley and you should. She was your best friend since forever ago.” Jenni was totally cool with the whole thing and we walked back over to the boys. “Well, I’m sorry to cancel. But, I am not feeling too good. I think I caught a little bit of the flu or I ate something bad. Sadie, you can stay but I’m going to drive your car home. Evan, can you bring her home later?” Jenni lies. “Yeah that’s fine.” He says. “Feel better.” Henry adds. “Well, that sucks. I kind of felt a rush of the idea to cheat on Ashley. She has been a real b/tch lately.” Evan laughs. “Here, call one of these girls.” Evan says, “Oh and this one is really easy” he adds while pointing to a contact number.
