I threw the marker that was still in my hand, across the trailer.  

Honestly, I felt stupid.  

Why?  

Because I was being a jerk, not just to Blake, to everyone around me. I was acting like a bitch, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone hated me already.

I got in my car and sighed. I closed my eyes and started the car. I didn't drive, instead, I slumped back in my seat and thought back to what Blake had said, 'I'm something you don't want and you're someone that I need'. His words replayed in my mind.  

What did he mean by that?  

He could mean anything.  

Why was I thinking about it so much? Dammit!  

I groaned and pulled my seatbelt on and drove away.

I arrived at home and locked myself in my bed room.  

I let my thoughts fly in every direction. Tears flow down my face because of anger, not sadness.  

My phone buzzed, I had a message from an unknown number.  

'It's okay to sit alone and cry.' The message read.  

I froze and looked around everywhere, all my blinds and curtains were closed.  

'Who is this?' I tapped away, hitting send.  

'Something you don't want.' The new message read.  

In that moment, his word flew back into my mind.  

Blake had said the exact same thing...

I threw my phone across the carpeted floor and pulled my cover over my entire body.  

What the hell was going on in my life now?

I pulled my iPod out of the nightstand drawer and played my Pierce The Veil and Sleeping With Sirens playlist.  

I rarely listened to them. It was my 'life' playlist.  

'I Don't Care If You're Contagious' by Pierce The Veil played loudly as I laid still on my bed.  

My chest pain came back suddenly. I pulled the covers off me and ran downstairs.  

My mother looked at me startled as I ran through cabinets searching for the Aspirin, wildly.  

"Nelly, are you okay, Sweetheart?" She asked worriedly.  

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied, the pain getting stronger.  

I held in a yelp that so badly wanted to erupt out of my mouth.  

I finally pulled out the Aspirin, got a glass water and downed the two Aspirin pills.  

"Nelly, what's going on with you?" She asked me worriedly.  

"Nothing Mom, I- I just had a headache for a whole and it was getting to me." I lied.  

"Are you sure?"  

I closed my eyes and sighed before flipping out, "Yes! I'm fine! Would you please stop interrogating me!"  

She closed her eyes and took a deep breathe, "Nelly Dahlia Andrews. Calm down, right now!" She yelled back.

I didn't say anything, I walked quickly to my bedroom. Well it was my bedroom for now, it wouldn't be for long... I was going to move soon, my decision wasn't made yet.  

How could I decide? Both of my parents were always on my case! I wish I didn't have to move away from my childhood home, where I lived my entire life!
