My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark

The dark. Dark. Darkness.

I was never one of those girls to be scared of the dark. As a matter of fact I wasn't scared of anything. Well maybe spiders.

Fear. That's all I feel. My skin hurts. My skin burns. It aches where my scars are. Covered from head to toe in ugly little scars. Scars from the abuse. Scars from the mistakes. Scars from the world. I was the worlds voodoo doll. (See what i did there ;) )

"A penny for your thoughts babe" an unfamiliar voice says as I realize where I am. How the hell did I end up in a food court? The world may never know.

I look up at the stranger. Captured by his beauty I stare into his deep chocolate eyes. I was mesmerized by his eyes. They looked like you could just get lost in them.

Finally I came back to reality and cracked a small smile too the beautiful stranger.

"I'm Calum, it's nice to meet you" his voice was smooth like Carmel.

"Hayden" I said loudly in my deep raspy voice. He seemed taken aback by my outburst of noise but just chuckled and continued to smile at me.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl" he said smoothly. I rolled my eyes.

"How original" I spit out. He was now concentrated on my face. I knew exactly what he was staring at. The thing that marked my face and scarred me forever. One of those burdens that would never go away.

"Hey man!" I heard a second voice chime in.

"What's up MIKEY" Calum said to the boy I had yet to look at afraid to make eye contact. That voice. I swear I knew it from somewhere. I finally grew a pair and looked up. Afraid for my life at what I saw.

Someone I wished I'd never seen Again.

Someone I thought I left behind.
