The moment Haley came home, I guess Greg had told her about earlier cause she came in my room and woke me up to ask if I was ok.

I was half asleep when I mumbled something to her. She sat on my bed, touching my face and moving the blanket from me to scan the bed.

When she grabbed my arms and examined them, I knew what she was looking for.

"I didn't cut."

"I was just making sure." She leans over and kisses my head before pulling the blanket back over me and walking out the room.

Sighing, I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

-

"You want to do anything today? I'm off and I want to spend time with you."

I shrug as I was pushing my pancakes around the plate. I wasn't much of a breakfast person but I knew how Haley was when I refuse to eat.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. I'm just a little slow and my head is in a fog."

"From yesterday?" She asks as she sat down across from me. "You never told me what happened."

"I didn't tell Greg either cause I don't know what happened. I get like that sometimes. There's nothing I can do."

The look on my sister's face was enough to tell me that she was worried about me. I knew she was and I knew Greg was cause they've been dealing with me and there's nothing they can do.

Looking down at my plate, I saw where I had cut up the pancakes but never ate any.

"I'm really worried about you, Morgan. Maybe you need to go see someone today."

"Who?"

"Your therapist? I don't know what else to say.. you've been going through these emotions for months and you stopped taking your medicine months ago."

"They weren't helping."

"They were helping a little, Morgan. I could see some change in your mood but you didn't care enough to notice yourself."

Looking at her, I shrugged before moving my fork around the plate. I propped my elbow on the table and sighed as I was feeling out of it.

"Call your therapist. Make an appointment. If you won't talk to me then maybe you'll talk to her."

"I don't want to talk to anyone."

"Morgan, you need to."

"No I don't!" I stood up and looked at her as she stared at me in shock. I walked out of the kitchen and out the front door before slamming it behind me.

I was tired of being told what to do. I knew they cared but I could solve my own problems my own way.

After leaving the driveway, I drove down the road and away from the street. I wasn't sure where the hell I was going but I needed to clear my head.

Driving around, I didn't want to go to any public places. I wanted to be alone somewhere but I didn't know where to go.

I drove down streets I never been down and wasn't sure if it was possible to get lost or not.

"I wouldn't mind getting lost."

Looking around, I turned down a road that lead upward and away from the town a little.

It was a steep hill but my car made it and all the houses seemed to disappear behind me.

Not a house in sight.
