my eyes lazily open and the first thing I see are bright lights. too bright. I look next to me to see my aunt in a chair fast asleep. where the fuck am I?
"Julie?" my voice was raspy and I could hardly speak "hey kid" her eyes puffy and red.
"what's going on, where are we?"
"do you not remember?" she sounded so tired
"we're in the hospital, you um.....overdosed"
"no I never, it was just a few pills to make me sleep"
Julie clears her throat and rubs her thumb over my hand to comfort me. I look to the other side of the hospital bed and there is a doctor. of course. that's why she's being nice. the doctor looks down at the clipboard placed in his hands and walks closer to me.
"hey aria, I've got a few questions for you"
Julie leaves the room and I get asked the usual questions.
why?
how?
where?
they didn't care but if they didn't ask they would most likely loose their job. I get let out of the hospital and we get to the car. shit.
"what the fuck aria" "do you understand what you've done, what are people going to think of me?" she says as my head hits the window. of course. her.
"I'm sorry" blood gushed from my head.

13:51
im in my room getting ready for school because 'it will look bad on her if I don't go to school' I put on a skirt with thigh highs and a jumper. my hair in its natural state, and put a hat on to cover the scab left on my head. she says my hair is horrible and makes me look like my mother. I think its nice but she never lets me leave when its curly so its really heat damaged so it looks more wavy that curly but I couldn't care even if I wanted to.
I grab my bag and my money and leave. I go to the nearest shop buy the vodka and leave. I drink half of the bottle before I get to school, quickly shove it in my bag and go to English. by the time I get to class its 14:47, its half way through the lesson and I walk in. looking like shit.
it wasn't like yesterday, not in the slightest. this time everybody turned to look at me. I look down at the floor and hurry to my seat. Mr Thompson ask why in late but I don't feel like responding, he askes a second time and I ignore again.
"detention miss Davenport."
"what the fuck sir?" it was that voice again. him.
"detention for both of you"
he stands up grabs my arm and pulls me to the big oak tree out back. our spot.
"why was you late?" it was that voice that I hadn't heard in so long.
"why does it matter Levi?" I couldn't just answer him, its not like I could lie. he knows me too well he says that my nose twitches when I lie.
"it ruined my routine, I had to go 2 lessons without being able to watch you walk in, awkwardly look at you feet and rush to your desk" he slightly chuckles at himself as my face looks emotionless
"not my problem" at this point I start walking off, I think he had other plans.
"not so fast, Davenport" he pulls me closer to his chest and I get a whiff of his aftershave, god ive missed being close to him, feeling his breath on the top of my head his warm skin touching mine I just missed him. Levi Beckett.
"you said you wouldn't push" my vision became blurry yet again, I hated it. I felt so weak.
" im sorry aria but I cant let you slip away, not again."he leans down so we're the same height and inches closer to my ear.
"don't think I don't notice you, the way you never have your hair curly anymore, the smell of vodka as you walk past, the scars that linger on your wrists, your puffy, red stained eyes with mascara smudged and don't think im going to leave you. I wont let you ruin your life, not again."
"you wont leave me? you already did, you just left without an explanation. who does that" I yell most likely getting the attention of students and maybe teachers.
he automatically brings me into a hug, I push away at the touch but he doesn't let go so I melt into his arms. this used to be the best part of my day but now im bust scared that it will be the last time.
"im so sorry baby"
