Lauren is the most wanted murder in the country. She has a reason for her killings though, but no one understands her. When Lauren does find that one person who does understand her, what would happen? Would she let this girl get in the way of her wo...
I mean yeah, there are people who do bad things but that doesn't make them bad people. People who believe abortion should be illegal, people who believe women shouldn't have control over their own bodies... those are bad people to me. Or at least, people with no soul or hearts. Or common sense.
My family did a bad thing, and I did too when I didn't say anything. But I guess ever since then, I realized not everything is butterflies and rainbows, but I no longer care because I still chose to see the world it is, to me.
The world could be the most deadliest and scariest place to ever step foot on but I mean, it's home. So minus well, make it feel like home. I've been trying at least.
I'm 19 years old and I'm living on my own. My parents left with my sister when I was 16. When I arrived to my house that day, it was a mess and the only thing there was a note from my parents in messy handwriting.
I wanted to go look for them but I realized they probably didn't want to be found. It was for the best I stayed on my own, i've always been independent so I was sorta happy about it. My family and I were never really close close since they were deadly drug dealers and I was me.
Yeah, drug dealers that turned into awfully horrible killers. You read correctly. I'll probably get back to that in a couple more chapters but for now, your stuck with getting to know me so back to it.
I live on my own in California, im mostly in Los Angeles. I never went to school, never went to highschool, and I don't plan on going to college. I'm not stupid though, I teach myself things. I took some online courses a couple years back and I'm still doing some now.
I'm not really alone alone, I have a couple of friends. And by a couple I only mean, Dinah and her girlfriend Normani. But I could say that I'm also close with Ally and Colson from a club I snuck into, they also snuck in so we got along well. They all go to college, except for Colson, he's on tour.
He asked me to join him, but I couldn't even imagine myself traveling with like 7 other people to sing rock. Although both of our voices together are amazing. I'll have to see him sometime soon.
"Mila your back!" I heard Normanis voice echo as I walk into my apartment with four bags on my weak arms.
"H-help me." I say, my arms turning red and my muscles no longer able to hold it.
Normani comes running from the kitchen and sets down a piece of paper on my coffee table. We don't have much furniture here, but the coffee table is my favorite. Normani grabs three bags and takes them to the kitchen like it was full of feathers.
"Damn mani, I see Dinah is dragging you to the gym?" I laughed while following her to the kitchen, setting it down on the counter.
"Oh shut up." Normani hit my shoulder playfully.
Then I heard little taps on the floor, running towards the kitchen. At first I wasn't sure but then when I heard a toy squeak, I knew. I set my phone down on the coffee table so my hands were free.
"There you are my little munchkin." I said in a baby voice as I bent down to pet my favorite black pyrenean, Stitch.

He jumped on me since he's half of my size and I'm very short, giving me tons of kisses. But i started to laugh since his breath smells like dirt, and it was very gross. Finally, he calmed down and took his toy to the living room.
"Mani, do you mind me asking why your here?" I asked carefully as I watched her put the groceries away, she stopped and gave me a confused look.
"To take care of Stitch..? You asked me to come over to dog sit?" Normani replied, sounding my like a question.
"Your correct, I even handed you this exact paper with Stitches routine.." I showed her the paper she set down on the coffee table, and pointed at number 27. "What does this say here mani?"
"Brush Stitchys tee- Oh for god sakes Camila, How many times do I have to tell you I am not going to touch that dogs mouth!" Normani practically shouted.
Now, Im sure Normani is done with my complaining about her not brushing Stitches teeth when I ask her too. But this is my baby we're talking about, he has to have the best care and I trust mani.
"I don't understand. Your telling me that you'll brush a baby's mouth but not my baby!?" I get really defensive over Stitch, so of course i'm going to argue.
I have anger issues too. I get mad easily and I'll destroy things, partly the reason for not having no roommate and having to adopt stitch. My emotional support animal.
"It's. a. DOG." Normani looks like she's trying her best to stay calm but isn't doing to well.
As i'm about to say something back, or most likely shout or break something. I hear Stitch bark. Normani and I, both shoot our heads towards the other side of the kitchen where Ally and Stitch stood. Well Stitch was sitting down, being of Ally's height.
"Oh, hey Ally." Normani and I both say at the exact same time, calmingly.
"What seems to be the problem now?" Ally asks, arms crossed and the glasses are off.
Now it just got serious.
"MILA IS FORCING ME TO TOUCH THAT DOGS STINKING MOU-"
"OH PLEASE NORMAN, YOU KNOW DOGS MOUTHS ARE CLEANER THAN OURS??!"
"SHE CALLED ME NORMAN!"
"STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW GROSS STITCHES MOUTH IS!"
That's when I lost it, it just so happens there was a glass of water by the counter.. I was feeling so many feelings at once, but when my hand grabbed the closest thing to me, it was only one feeling I felt.
Then, blood. All I felt was the prickling feeling all of my hand. Sharp pain but it felt good. But it also felt completely uncomfortable. It took me a minute to realize I just had broke the glass. Normani and Ally were now staring at me, terrified but careful and gentle.
It was quiet for 3 minutes before I looked up at them, my whole hand was bleeding. Multiple of cuts, drops of red dark blood.
"Im... i-m gonna go take a walk.. i'll be back." Stitch was now besides my leg, looking at me carefully but was also worried.
As I was walking out, neither Normani or Ally said a word. Which was a good thing, I like the quiet when i'm mad. I like to be alone. Well, Stitch is my only exception.
I walked out of my apartment with Stitch by my side. I realized I should of cleaned the cuts but my mind is still cloudy.
