I woke up from another nightmare to the smell of alcohol and smoke filling the air. I must've fallen asleep from last night. Ever since, it, happened; I've turned to smoking and drinking as my comfort blanket. I know it's not good but I don't have anything else. Ever since the accident happened I've missed school, I tried to go one day but I blacked out during my class and had a panic attack. My teachers and I agreed after a little bit I could come back. I don't know when that would be but atleast they understand. I'd gone home a couple days to grab more s clothes and etcetera. I would have stayed but it was too hard to watch my dad practically kill himself, so I have been staying at calebs. I went to visit him everyday and when I wasn't at the hospital, I was visiting our favorite spots. Downtown, the flower field we found one day, the park we met at, the restaurant we went to that night, and sometimes when I was really bad I would go visit the cliff. It was mostly blocked off which hurt a lot since I couldn't really go close. Calebs condition hasn't worsened but it also hadn't gotten better. I knew sometime I had to get out of bed and go to school, I just needed a second.

I put the finishing touches on my mascara and grabbed my backpack from the couch. I was still staying at caleb's and I didn't want to miss the bus since they came earlier. I knew he had a car but I just couldn't bring myself to go in it.

Once I had gotten to school I walked to my locker, I heard someone walk past me and I thought nothing of it until I closed my locker and actually saw someone in the locker next to mine. No one had been in that locker for years, since no one transfers to our school. I started walking away until something clicked in my head and I realized who it was.

"Well well well, we meet again Rory"

"Bowie??"

Hi guys! Sorry this chapter is super short, I am going through a weird writers block kinda thing so I'm trying to get back into a groove. This chapter was kinda a filler so hopefully the next ones will be better!

Quick note: once I finish the book I think I'm gonna start putting like 2 or 3 songs that fit the chapter at the end!

Love y'all
