𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍. She refused to be weak any longer. She had hidden herself away enough. Now it was time to face the music. She decided that she was going to this party. So she quickly got a piece of tissue to wrap the cigarette butts in, not wanting to hurt any animals that might come by. She squeezed it up into a ball and shoved it into a plastic bag, tying it into a bow.

Her stomach rumbled.

Then she suddenly remembered that she didn't have anything to eat. But it was the early afternoon so she could get something from the Grill. She sighed as she popped another lollipop into her mouth to get rid of the taste in her mouth. She really needed to get better quality ones one day.

She whistled as she went, a pep in her step. She always felt better after she had had a few cigarettes down her throat. She was angry with herself that she left her truck at home, but hey! At least she was walking. She walked all the way back through the forest until she got to the main road.

She thought of hitchhiking with someone else, but that thought went as quickly as it came. She didn't fancy being murdered. You couldn't really trust people nowadays unless they were in your close circle. Keeping few people close was the best thing to do in her opinion.

She sighed deeply and shoved her hands into her pockets as she walked and walked, soon coming up to the main town. Thankfully it wasn't too far. She quickened her pace until she got to the Grill. She sighed in relief as she opened the door and walked inside, heading towards the booth her and her friends usually sat at. It was a little weird as she was the only one seated down, but it didn't bother her much.

She got handed a menu and skimmed through it. She smiled as she noticed that a vegetable hotpot was available. And it was appropriate for vegans. Her friends didn't understand her eating habits, but she was content with what she had. She quickly ordered the vegetable hot pot with her usual drink of ice lemonade.

It was her favourite drink. It gave her energy and it tasted good. Her drink came before the food so she forced herself to wait until it was done. She could not understand people who ate a full meal without drinking anything with it. It was so weird. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.
