TRIGGER WARNING: Bipolar Disorder

ELENA POV

I haven't heard from my best friend in a long time, I don't even have the strength to call him my best friend. I really miss him a lot and I miss talking to him and hearing his voice, it makes me feel guilty. I only talked to the boys but everywhere Benny went Violet followed him, so when I showed up to talk to my guys she pulled Benny away. The guys didn't even like Violet, they always made fun of her and the way she acts.

I know they broke up...actually the whole school knows. Violet tried to make a sob story on Instagram and everyone clowned her for it. The last 3 months was filled with crying and trauma. It is now December 1st almost Christmas, almost my birthday which means it was almost Benny's birthday. it was the first time ever we didn't spend halloween or thanksgiving together.

I had to see Benny everyday since the mail kid always brings our newspapers at the same time since he comes on a bicycle, and my dads obsessed with reading the newspaper.

So we see each other everyday but we don't talk because once again, violet is always following. Why is she even at his house that early on the day.

I missed Flora. I see Ethan and Carla a lot because they come over basically every day but they don't bring Flora because they say she walks around too much and puts too much stuff in her mouth. I don't mind though. She's 2 years and 3 months old. Last time I was that close to Benny was at her birthday party.

Potato has gotten more and more sad that he doesn't see Benny and Flora, so every time I get the newspaper I take potato so he can see him and play with him for a while then come back inside. He has attachment issues.

Anyways, theres some dumb school talent show that my mom really wants me to go on. I signed up a while ago but I still have the choice to quit.

I wrote a song over the last four months ever since the whole Benny thing.

My mom wants me to go on because she thinks I have "the voice of an angel"

"Mom I do not have the voice of an angel" I said. I was sitting on the counter eating toast with avocado and scrambled eggs as my morning breakfast. "Yes you do baby, I really want you to sing, all your friends and family love your voice" she says. What friends, I thought.

"Mom I don't even have a song to sing" I clearly lied. "What about that new song I hear you practicing in your room."

Then she points her finger upstairs and says "what was it called?" with a confused expression.

I roll my eyes. "Photograph" I say. My dad was sitting on the chair next to me and he looks at me then he turns my head so I face him "you'll do great pancake."

After a moment I say "dad quit it with the pancake that's like the whitest thing ever" Also did he just call my ass flat?

He laughs then grabs my empty plate and begins to wash dishes. I literally hate washing dishes.

"Okay well I'm gonna go to school so I'm not late" I said. I get off the counter and grab my bag resting on the counter. Then I kiss potato on the head and grab my keys, phone, and my card then I put my coat on and my Dodgers hat.

"By mami bye daddy" I yell.

"BYE!" They say at the same time. I close the door and see from the window my mom and dad peck on the lips and smile then go back to what they were doing.

I gag then pick up my bike and go to school

We're all in the auditorium because the principal had to tell us something about the talent show.
