You know that scene in every relatable young adult film with a female main character where she finally loses her shit. She gets drunk puts on an old record , dances around in a robe and shouts about whatever peace of shit guy and how she doesn't need him. Usually it's some sort of turning point , she then becomes a whole different person after . Usually it's fierce or she just becomes some variation of Harley Quinn. Or maybe she doesn't do any of that but instead  dyes her hair at 3am , buys a bunch of clothes and takes on a brand new persona .

You could say I was experiencing something similar to that. I looked in the mirrior at my brand new look. It was a short pixie cut , really short I had it bleached platinum blonde , I blew my whole check on a brand new wardrobe and makeup some small part of me felt better. I was done with everything, I was done being the shy quiet girl that never said anything in class , that got bullied and toyed with , walked all over. I'm done being that girl that Finn dated I'll kill her if it ment that I could go on. We had a strong 2 months and a half left of school , Robin was graduating this year and when he left so would I , there's nothing for me here, I just had to tough it out a few more weeks and after I'd be gone.

I could manage that, I'd be lying if I said my mind didn't wander back to Finn . I hated that it did but I couldn't help it . Honestly everything felt like some sort of fever dream. if there weren't any other witnesses I would've thought it never happened.

Spending the day with Robin did lighten my mood, we were ducking our manager Wayne the whole time we were there at the mall. We nearly walked out with half the store. I was happy to have Robin around . When I got home things took a more depressing turn. My mom was there and she nearly killed me with a bear like a hug , she looked a complete wreck and part of me felt terrible.

" I'm sorry, Mariah I'll do better please , sweetie , I'm so sorry ". She weeped I found myself crying as well.

" I'll get a job we can leave , you don't have to stay in that school , just give me a  month or two I'll get us out of this place ". She said wiping the tears from my face .

"  I didn't know you loved me mom" I said

" I love you more then anything, I'll stop drinking I'm sorry, I'm sorry I subjected you to this , I kicked manney out of the house he's gone he isn't coming back, your my main priority, I know I slip up , I know , but not this time just please promise you will never do anything like that again". She said
