Someone to Love Me

needed to be quieter

were too much trouble

were her best friends

needed a new home

forearm

chin

wrist

cheek

the attention of a guy was all a girl needed

when someone gives you nice gifts, you should do whatever the person wants

dating a friend's ex wasn't a bad idea

love can blind people to the flaws of their loved ones

she planned to marry Bobby after his drug treatment ended

Bobby had hurt her and overdosed on drugs

she would run away if her mother married Raffie

Mrs. Davis had asked her to come live with her

punished her by not talking to her

left Cindy behind and took off in his car

said he needed time to talk to his math teacher

became angry and dragged her to his car

was surprised that the car was like Raffie's

became tired of waiting for him and left

realized her mother was seated in the car

asked to be introduced to his uncle

for them to stop nagging her

Bobby wanted her to be a cheerleader

she was going on a weekend trip to Las Vegas with Bobby

Bobby loved her and that was all she needed

Harold's dirty clothes spread all over the living room floor

that it was shabby but cozy and good-smelling

a wide-screen TV and brand new furniture

Harold's two cats, Theo and Cleo, playing in the kitchen

angry

resentful and silly

like she was wrapped in a warm blanket

like a little baby

spent too much time with her

bought her too many clothes and too much jewelry

with hatred

neglected her
