Chasity Dawson P.O.V“What are you doing all alone?” asked my mother as she spotted me in the theater.I turned around to face her and stood up. Grabbing my backpack and putting the straps over my shoulder.“The boys went out for a run. Joe invited me, but I didn’t want to go with them,” I said with a shrug of my shoulders. “Are you done with work?” I asked her, as I turned off the projector playing the movie on the screen. She had her coat on and purse in her hand, like she always did when she was ready to leave.She nodded, and in a happy tone replied, “They let me go home early today.” She extended her hand toward me to take. I walked to her grabbing her hand and then linked my arms around hers, as we got out of the house. When we got into the car, I sent a quick text to Joe letting him know that I was leaving.CHASITY: My mom finished work early, so we are about to head home.JOE: I can take you home.I smiled at how sweet this moment felt. This made me feel like he wanted me to st

 Chasity Dawson P.O.VI was right.The days that followed soon after that week were pure hell. The horrible cliché drama of dating the popular guy in high school, was now being sent my way every single day. I wanted to break down and cry my eyes out at one point, but didn’t want to give the girls the satisfaction of seeing me in tears. On a really bad day, I cried my eyes out when I got home. Joe, my mother, Payton and Maddie did everything they could think of to cheer me up; even Joe’s friends, John and Gio joined in, which warmed my heart.There were girls at the school that were savage. One morning, someone put slime in my locker that blasted all over my clothes. The next day, someone took my clean clothes from my gym locker while I was in the shower at P.E. Luckily, I had Payton in the same class, and she gave me

Joe Bandit P.O.VAfter pushing away all insecurity and doubt from Chasity’s mind, I left her to go back to her friends, while I went to handle a situation, I sure hope will not make things worse.I already have enough trouble on my plate.I took a deep breath before heading to my mother’s room, where I know Jamie and she would be. Once reaching my mother’s bedroom door, I took a deep breath before going in. Opening the door without knocking, I see my mother embracing Jamie in a tight hug, saying soothing words to calm her down. Noticing my arrival, they pulled apart. My mother gave Jamie one last hug, and whispered something in her ear that only she could hear. Jamie nodded as my mother pulled away.Jamie looked down at the ground as I stepped closer towards the two of them.“Put her down gently,&rdquo

Joe Bandit P.O.VGrabbing her hands, and looking into her eyes. Tears pouring down her eyes like the gates of a damn breaking and water gushing through. Her puffy eyes, red nose with snot flowing down, showed how long she must have been crying. I don’t understand how I could have done something that made her cry. The last time I spoke to Chasity was before I went out to the backyard and she was totally fine.Maddie grabbed another tissue from a tissue box, I didn’t notice that sat beside her. Handing it to Chasity to wipe her eyes.“Thank you,” Chasity mumbled softly.  My eyes dropped from hers and swerved to Maddie and Payton. “Can I talk to Chasity alone?” When they made no moment, I repeated myself. “I would like to talk to my girlfriend alone, and find out wha

Chasity Dawson P.O.VDammit John.This guy just doesn’t know when to shut up sometimes. I wonder if he talks first and thinks second. I’m not surprised that his mouth went ahead and just caused an awkward situation, but if he doesn’t change his personality soon; he is going to get himself in deep trouble one day. Mama always said to think before you speak. Jamie was the first to break the silence, “Charity, do you and Joey go to the same school?”“It’s Chasity,” I instantly replied, correcting her.Knowing full well, she called me by the wrong name on purpose.  “Mmhmm,” choosing that as the best reply.“I see.” Jamie started picking at her food causally with her fork. “Do you live nearby as well?”Unashamed and ready for the interrogation, I answer “No.”“Oh?” her interest was alrea
