Always Be a Broken Girl

Tiff

"Thanks you two. I really need you now." Scar said softly.

"We know Baby, we know." I said, doing my best to try to soothe Scar.

We drove on in silence on the dark city highway. Each of us left in our own thoughts.

Now as for me, I am not one you'd call reckless. I pretty much just go with the flow. I let my anger out by blaring my radio and screaming along to the music. For my stress I takes long, hot baths with my music playing in the background. I had a short period of the need to be isolated but Scar and Nat, being who they are, wouldn't leave me alone. Which when I look back at it now, I'm glad they didn't. It's now time for Nat and I to be here for Scar.

Relationships scare me. I think you can see why. I don't want to have my heart broken or I don't want to break someone else's heart. But Brett, he's different. i don't know what it is about him that draws me in. I just hope I don't end up with the situation Scar is going through at this time.

I know just what will help Scar, don't ask how I know, I just do. I guess it's just one of those things. I text Nat, not wanting to make the suggestion out loud and have it be turned down.

Hey. I think it's time we go back to that tattoo parlor.

What do you have in mind hun? I don't see what good that'll do.

just trust me nat. i think we should all get our nosed pierced. what do u think? Nat shrieked out loud and smiled. She turned around to face me to give me my favorite smile, she loved the idea.

I love it babe. want me to tell scar? ima tell her to stop at a gas station so we can get some munchies then i'll drive from there. maybe i wont tell her where we're going. eek! you're a genius babe. k let's do this!

I laughed out loud.

"Scar, can we stop at the next gas station, I gots the munchies?" Nat asked Scar.

"Sure thing hun. I need to rest anyhow." Scar replied non-enthusiastically.

She turned off at the next exit and found a gas station. She pulled into a parking spot, turned off the car and sat there.

"Scar come help me pick some things out. Pretty please?" Nat said to Scar, pouting at her. She gave in, got out of the car and followed Nat into the store.

I got in the front seat and plugged in Nat's ipod. i turned it on to shuffle. The first song that came on was Hotel Room Service by Pitbull. I sat back in the back seat and danced and sang along to the song. I hadn't noticed that Nat and Scar where back in the car. I heard laughing, I started blushing.

"Oh Tiff, babe, you're so adorable." Scar said to me. I pouted but couldn't hold it, so I smiled. "Can I sit in back with you?" She looked at me, almost scared of what I'd say.

"Why yes my dear!" I said and pull her into the back seat. We fell on the seat, or rather I fell and she fell on top of me. We just laughed, Nat included. "Garsh Scar, lose a couple pounds why don't you." I said while moving her onto the seat.

"I know right. I mean look at my fat." She said pinching the small amount of flesh she can grab onto. I just gave her my "oh no you didn't" look. She smiled at me. "Let's get a move on ladies, there's more daylight to be wasted and more darkness for partying." She grabbed my hand on pulled me to her. "I love you Tiff." She said whispering in my ear.

"I love you too Scar." I said hugging her.

"Ok ladies, enough with the mushiness. Get your pretty selves settled, we're hitting the road." Nat said to us. She climbed into the driver's seat, started the car and changed the song to something to her liking. Scar nestled herself into me, her back into my chest.

"Sing to me Tiff, please?" Scar says to me. How could I resist her, I mean she is on the verge of breaking, I need her as a whole.

"For you baby, anything. Nat put on a song I can sing to please, my dear." I say.

"Sure, sure. Give me a sec." Nat replied. She picks up her ipod and looks through the song. " Oh, this one is perfect!"

She chose a song I know so well. I could probably sing it in my sleep. I heard the first note and started singing right away.

When you have to look away
When you dont have much to say
Thats when I love you
I love you, just that way
To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
Thats when I love you
I love you, endlessly
And when your mad cuz you lost a game
Forget Im waiting in the rain
Baby i love you,
I love you anyway
Heres my promise made tonight
You can count "on" me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you, no matter what
So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie it made you cry
Thats when I love you
I love you a little more each time
And when you cant quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
Thats when I love you
I love you, more than youll know
And when you forget that we had a date
Or that look that you get when you show up late
Baby I love you, I love you anyway
Heres my promise made tonight
You can count "on" me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what
Thats when I love you
When nothing baby
Nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what
No matter what

During the song I felt Scar's shoulders shaking. By the end of the song that movement ceased. I looked down at her to see that she had fallen asleep. I nestled myself into the seat and listened to the small whimper she makes when she's sleeping. That small noise seems to calm me. I look at Nat through the mirror and she smiles at me. At least Scar is okay for now. Now we are on our way to the tattoo parlor. I just hope Scar is up for what we have in mind.

Later

Nat had parked the car and gone inside to see if the guy we liked was working, he was. She told him of the situation at hand, that each of us were to get our nosed pierced. He said that that was fine and for us to come in.

I woke up Scar. She stretched then looked around at her surroundings. I saw her reaction when she realized where we were. I saw her face light up and her smile my favorite smile. She hugged me and then pushed me out of the car. She shook her hips when she got out then grabbed my arm and rushed us inside. The tattoo guy chose to pierce Nat's nose first. I was to go last since I was the chicken and wanted to make sure it didn't hurt too much.

When my time came the guy put his hand on my leg, caught my eyes and reassured me that I would be okay. I sat there, clenching onto both Scar and Nat. I didn't even feel the gun, I didn't noticed it was done until I felt him put in the stud I picked out.

"That's it? I'm done?" I looked at the guy and he nodded his head and smiled at me. "Hmmm..do you think you have time to do another?" I said to him. I saw Nat and Scar look at me, confused.

"Sure hun. What do you have in mind?" He said to me. I leaned into him and whispered in his ear. I wanted Scar and Nat to be really surprised. He told the girls to wait in the front room and that we'd be right back. Right then my phone started buzzing.

Tiff? Tell me what you are up to! now missy. you are going to be in a room alone with this guy?! what is going on? Read the text message from Nat.

Tiff, hun, what are you getting yourself into? Read the text message from Scar.

No worries. I'll be out soon. promise. all is well. I replied to both. I sat in the chair as the guy go the gun yet again. He numbed my lip and hesitated for a second. He looked at me, his eyes asking if I was ready. I nodded my head. He stuck the gun to my lip and shot. I felt a tiny pinch but it was over quickly. Again he stuck in the stud I picked out. I hugged and thanked him then walked out into the front room. The look on both the girls faces was priceless. I would pierce something else just to get that reaction again. They shrieked and hugged me. Then they decided they were also going to get another piercing. Nat her tongue and Scar her upper lip in a monroe. Once we were all done and paid for Nat decided that we go to the salon. We each got out hair cut and colored. Scar hugged Nat and I both.

"You guys are the best besties ever." She said to us. We laughed together. We piled back into the car, each of us happy with our new appearances. Each eagerly waiting for the reactions we had facing us everywhere we went. Scar blared the music and we all laughed and sang along to every song.
