Torment
~Chapter 6~

After about 20 minutes of sitting there in silence crying with James, Vanessa comes to find me. “Ava?” She asks. I can see a shadowed figure standing next to the corner of the building. “Yeah, I’m over here.” I reply. “Are you okay?” She asks concerned of my well-being. “Yes, I’m okay, I’ll be there in a second.”
“Okay, well your mother is going to be here any minute.” “Okay.” I respond. I cant believe that the dance was already over. For the most part I had a great time and I figured out who James really is. He isn’t cruel hearted like Emily, but actually quite a nice characterized person. I turn towards James and look him in the eyes.
“I have to go now, are you going to be okay?” I ask him. He returns his eyes directly into mine. “I’m going to be fine, Ava, the real question is, are you?” I’m shocked by his concern.
“Yeah, James, I think I will be fine, now.”
“Like I said, don’t let Emily push you over the edge. Stand up to her, and show her that you are better than her on so many levels, because Ava, when you try to look good, your natural beauty comes out with your great personality and Emily hates it, because she cant be as perfect.”
“I will. I will try to be more girlish and I’ll show my beauty and I’ll try to recover from my eating disorders, it’ll just be hard.”
“I know it will be, remember? I watched my sister go through it. I just want you to have a happy ending.”
“I will, I wont let Emily control me anymore.”
James leans in to hug me and as we hug he whispers into my ear, “And whenever you are feeling insecure about yourself, always remember that you’re beautiful. And if it ever gets too bad, you’ll always have me to catch you. Call me anytime you need to, I’ll give you my number Monday at school.” It was the longest hug of my life. And it was so sincere. I slowly stand up, James and I say goodbye to each other and I walk towards Vanessa. Once I get to Vanessa, I see my mother’s car pull up. We both get into the car. “So, how was it?” My mother greets me with the question. “It was actually really fun.” I say. “I agree.” Vanessa assures my answer. My mom looked so happy, she couldn’t believe it. “And mom, I have a new idea for my hair.”
“Yeah? What’s that?”
“Well before I wanted to dip dye my hair a bunch of different colors, but-”
“Really?” My mother interrupts me is a discontent tone.
“BUT, instead I’m going to try something a little more girlish.”
“Really!?” She says in a happier cheery tone.
“Mhm, also do you think you could take me shopping for a few new outfits?”
“Of course!” She is so excited.
Vanessa is sleeping over tonight, so we don’t have to drop her off. Once we get home, Vanessa and I change into pajamas and go to my bedroom.
“So, why’d you leave in a rush at the dance to go outside?”
“I… umm… I was talking to James, him and Emily broke up.”
“Oh…” She replies confused. I told Vanessa the complete story about the break up, the things James said about me and about Vanessa and the story about his sister Camille, and about our goodbyes. She was shocked about all of it, and she wants to join me in standing up against Emily and her popularity snobs. I invite Vanessa to come shopping and to the hair dressers with my mom and I. She calls her parents and they give her permission so she accepts. Vanessa and I drift off to sleep after an exhausting night that we’ll remember forever, mostly because it’s the first night that neither of us cried ourselves to sleep.
