Chapter Twenty- Laken
LAKEN
By the time lunch comes around, I haven’t seen Blake, even in the halls, so I’m anxious to see him. I walk into the cafeteria and grab my tray of food before walking to my usual table.
Except when I get to my table, there’s someone I don’t know sitting in the seat across from where I always sit.
I stop and stare at him, and when he notices me, he looks up, and the beauty of this

LAKENBlake starts choking on his food, and I'm about to fall off his lap onto the floor from laughing so hard. The type of laughter that gives you a belly ache.Poor Blake. I can’t even help him with his choking because I can’t see through the tears falling out of my eyes. Thank God for waterproof mascara.Oh, this is epic. Blake is worried muscle god will steal me away, but it l
Breathe Me Chapter Twenty Two- Blake
BLAKE I don’t know what to make of the newcomer. Dirk is...well, I don’t know what he is yet. As long as he doesn’t come for my girl, then we will be just fine, but I’m still going to keep an eye on him to see if I can figure him out. He seems like he wants to be friends, but I don’t trust easily. He did seem honest when he said he just saw Laken as a sister, though. And Laken seemed to like him okay. Especially after he sent Tillie out of the cafeteria amid a toddler fit. That was some prime entertainment, and the fact he was sticking up for Laken
Breathe Me Chapter Twenty Three- Blake
BLAKEThe rest of the day went by smoothly, and I found out that Dirk and I have a few classes together other than gym class. I also found out that he has a few with Laken that I don’t have with her, so now she has someone with her for most of the day to keep the vultures away.The last bell has rung, and I head to Laken’s locker to see if she’s there and see what she’s up to tonight. I want to spend more alone time with her. I want to get to know her better, with or without humping. I neve
Breathe Me Chapter Twenty Four- Blake
BLAKE I park in the driveway and see that Grams is home. Good, I really want her to meet Laken. I would have thought that something like this would make me nervous, probably have me breaking out into a sweat, but I’m not. I can’t wait for her to meet Laken. I know she will love her, and I think that Laken will love her as well. Laken could use someone like Grams in her life. A positive and caring adult. Everyone could use Grams in their life. She’s something special, and it makes me hate my dad, even more, knowi
Breathe Me Chapter Twenty Five- Blake
BLAKEI walk up the steps of the porch with Laken’s hand in mine. My Gram’s eyes drop to our linked hands, and her smile gets impossibly wider.I lean over and kiss Grams on the cheek, even though she doesn’t take her eyes off of Laken.“Grams, this is Laken. Laken, this young woman is my Grams,” I say.Grams chuckles and smacks my arm. “Oh, hush. You know I’m no young woman. Although I will flatter myself and say I’m not old either,” she says while giving Laken a wink.Laken laughs and holds out her hand. “It’s nice to meet you….”
Breathe Me Chapter Twenty Six- Laken
“Of course, I will be your Grams, Laken! I always wanted more grandkids, especially a girl,” she says with a smile.Oh my god. This is the most fabulous Grams in the history of Grams! I adore her!Maybe I should be horrified like Dirk and Blake, but I can’t be. That was the funniest shit I’ve ever heard. And I actually would love to sit down with her and hear some of her stories.It sounds like she knew who she was and what she wanted and took it with no fucks given. I wish I could be like that.I’m not saying I want to go out and have threesomes because the only man I want right now is Blake. But to feel the freedom of who you are and fly your freak flag and not care is inspiring.Mrs. Delilah Parker is definitely one of a kind and something special. Blake is fortunate.He has blown me away today with his words and actions. I’ve never felt this way with anyone before. No one
Breathe Me Chapter Twenty Seven- Laken
The drive to my house is quiet, but Blake never lets go of my hand. I wish he could hold my hand for the rest of the night. Be there with me to face the monster. I would feel braver.I act bravely in front of everyone, but I’m not, and I’m tired. So fucking tired.I’m tired of having to put my brave face on and put up walls. I don’t want to have to be brave anymore. I want to be normal, be happy, and live without acting like I’m strong in front of people.What is normal? I don’t remember anymore. It’s been so long, and I was too young to have the freedom to learn who I was and establish my place in this world.I look over to Blake, realizing that he couldn’t be a typical teenager either. He was in juvie, locked up with no one but his Grams to visit him. I’m glad he had Grams then and now.He catches me looking at him and brings my hand to his lips to softly run his
Breathe Me Chapter Twenty Eight- Laken
After our tears slow down and we gather ourselves, Mom looks at me with determination and vows, “I’m going to get help, Laken. I’m trying to figure out how to do this because I don’t want to go to rehab and leave you alone with him. I can’t watch you from there; I can’t be here if something happens. I would never forgive myself. So, I’m going to talk to the rehab place just out of town and see if there is some way I can do an outpatient program. That way, I won’t leave you alone with him.”This sounds nice, but one main thing is on my mind.“
