"What have I told you about going through my stuff?!" Lindsay screamed at her stepmom. She thinks just because she's as thin as Lindsay is that she can just borrow her clothes.

"Lindsay, calm down.." Lindsay's older brother, Heath, said calmly. He knew where this was going.

"It's not your stuff. I bought it, you live in my house. It's my stuff." Her stepmom snapped at her.

"You're not even my mom. You never will be her. You're just a whore that my father married. You don't mean shit to any of us." Lindsay yelled.

Lindsay felt a stinging feeling as her stepmom brought her hand across her cheek. Heath immediately stood up.

"Lindsay..." He said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't touch me." She said through her teeth. She picked up her hoodie and ran out the door.

"Lindsay, wait!" Heath called from the porch. She just ignored him and kept running.

Lindsay snapped out of her flashback when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She screamed and turned around.

"Calm down.. it's just me." Her best friend, Samuel, laughed.

"You scared the living shit out of me." She sighed.

"And so did you, when i got the call from Heath that you ran away. Care to tell me?"

She shook her head. "I hate her. I fucking hate that lady with everything in me."

"What now?" He put his arm around her.

"She took my favorite sweatshirt." She said, just getting angry thinking about her.

"The blue one?"

"Mhm."

"Oh gotcha."

"Then I called her a whore and she slapped me."

"Well it is getting late, you should go home." He said, grabbing her hand.

"I'm not going home." She said.

"Come stay at my place?" He looked at her and smiled.

"Anything's better than going there." She said, pulling down her sweatshirt.

They walked to his house and Samuel went upstairs and handed her a oversized shirt and a pair of gray sweatpants. She went and got changed and they sat down to watch a movie. They both laid down and Samuel wrapped an arm around Lindsay's waist. Most people would think it was awkward, but not Lindsay. Her and Samuel have been best friends since they were eight so they're perfectly comfortable around each other. He looked down at her. She looked up at him.

"You're beautiful, you know that?" He smiled at her.

"No I'm not. If I was beautiful, I'd have every guy asking me out." She said.

He leaned down and kissed her softly. Lindsay was a little shocked at this, but kissed back and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. They finally broke apart and she smiled.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He said, trying to catch his breath.

"Me too." She was still breathless.

"Lindsay, I can completely understand if you say no to this, but I love you. I've loved you since the first time I saw you. I just need to ask you this.. Will you be my girlfriend?"
