chapter six

  Sophie was still staring at the nasty scar, that was running up my arm. " N-no, I, um, do'nt want this to happen to me", Sophie said. She just stood there. I waited for her to say something. Anything would be fine. "A-Alex, um, your in a gang?", Sophie finally asked. " Yeah, and it's a dangerous gang to, so stay away from me- it's for your own good!", I started to walk away, but Sophie grabbed my arm. " Wait Alex! Please! I'm not afraid of you! I trust you! I want to be your friend!", Sophie cried. Tears started to well up in my eyes. It was the first time anyone had ever said that they wanted to be my friend. I was so happy, I did'nt know what else to say. " It-it's the same for me", I said, " I want to b-be your friend too. But I, c-can't get too close to you!", I was really crying now. I did'nt care if she saw me, I just did'nt care. I wanted to entrust her with all my feelings, and emotions. I wanted to jump into her arms and cry with all my might. Cry, like I'd never cried before. Sophie came closer to me, and hugged me. It was a real hug too. It was'nt like one of those awkward hugs you get from a distant relative. This was a real hug. It was so real, that I could just feel the love pooring out of her, and into me like a waterfall. I could'nt remember the last time I'd gotten a hug. " It's okay", she said, " It's alright. Everything's alright". We sat there, in the middle of the side-walk, hugging, and crying. We must have been quite a sight, but we did'nt care. I knew that Sophie was the only person who cared about me. I wanted to be her best friend. I wanted to have sleep-overs together, hang out with eachother, and do all the stuff that teenage girls did on TV. Together. I wanted to watch out for her. Be her body gaurd, or something. " Well, I better get going", I said, as I stood up. " I'll see you tomarrow, Alex", Sophie said. Then, we both walked away, Sophie, to her house, and I, to my one room apartment. This time, when I stepped into my closet room, I sat down on the floor, and started playing with my old toy car. Just like I did when I was five years old.
