Blast from the Past (Aj bumps into Tessa)

The spring breeze blew through Aj hair. The sound of children laughing and playing was all she could hear. Hear head was resting in her small hands. Twisting her dyed dark blue fringe she looked up and watched people run by happily, smiles on their faces. It sickened her to the core. Everyone had found happiness and yet she was stuck in her miserable mood. As she was loathing some one sat on the same bench as her. She gave a quick glance up before swinging her head around to the person. Her red eyes opened as wide as they could, as though she had seen a ghost.

Tessa smiled.

"Hi Aj." Tessa said.

"N-no I must be going insane, Yeah thats it, I was at your grave, and with your mother when you died, Yeah, and I kicked your grandmomma in the face" Aj stuttered.

"She faked it."

"That bitch! We spent all these years trying to deal with the loss of a child and that bitch fakes it!? That...that...bitch!" Aj yelled.

"Aj, calm down all that matters is I'm here now."

"Yeah. Many its been so long. 11 years doesnt pass that fast heh. I dont ive aged well either" She laughed.

Tessa just laughed.

"Man, theres so much you've missed over the years" Aj said trying to remember the years that had past.

"I know."

"Like what happened to you, where did you go?" She asked.

"Teresa kidnaped me."

"Damn bitch, please tell me she didnt hurt you?" Aj said with sadness in her eyes.

"She got me addicted to heroine." Tessa spoke sadly.

"Damn bitch! How can someone do that to someone so young, please tell me she's dead"

"Dead as a doornail." Tessa spoke.

"Oh hell yeah!" Aj laughed "Just a shame I couldnt get fid of the bat myself" She sighed

"I know."

“At least you’re safe and home now. That’s the main thing” Aj said resting her head in her hands.

"Yeah, but my mom doesn't know yet."

"When are you going to tell her?" Aj asked "You know she'll be so happy with you back"

"After rehab."

"You health is most important right now, take your time there, and let the treatment take its course" Aj said crossing her legs.

"I will."

"Good, good, then maybe, when you return, your mother might show a real smile again" Aj said playing with her nails.
