I was awoken again by a soft touch. Immediately I opened my eyes knowing who I would be greeted with.

Venable stood with a blank expression holding a folded outfit. "Be ready to leave by 7".

The clothes I took out of her hands were matching the ones she wore.

She avoided my gaze leaving quickly. I watched her figure rush out.

Smirking to myself I stood to get dressed. Meeting her again in the hall I checked the time.

Instead of letting me look I was yanked forward. I kept my mouth shut in fear she'd snap at me.

I was lead to the car, shoved inside, and waited. I watched as she got in pushing on a pair of dark sunglasses.

It wasn't bright today, nor would it be later. Maybe she didn't want me to see her eyes?

Her foot hit the gas zooming toward town. She pulled into a driveway, finally looking my way.

"What do you want?" I paused, it was almost as if we were back to square one. She'd buy me something, and not talk to me otherwise.

"I'm fine, thank you" I mumbled facing the other side. That was the last thing she said until we got to school.

"See you later" she said slipping past me without turning to see me. I felt defeated. Maybe the kiss really was a mistake.

My head turned downward as I walked away.

------------------------------------------------------------

I was hesitant to be in her class for an hour, as we hadn't talked about what happened. She seemed regretful.

I sighed setting my bag down and waiting patiently. She avoided me the entire first half.

In autopilot mode I stood to go to the bathroom, clearly forgetting where I was.

"Y/n, where are you going?" Her voice was stern, like it was at the start of our relationship. If you could call it that.

I blushed, embrassed I was standing in the center of the room. "To the bathroom" her brow raised.

I fiddled with my fingers, "I mean, can I go to the restroom". It took a moment of silence for her to respond.

"No, please go back to your seat" she faced the board. "But I-", "Sit down Miss Y/l/n".

My heart shattered right there, causing me to be extremely still. She didn't use my first name.

The formality of it all had me question every second we had had.

I slowly went to my desk, staying quiet till the bell rang.

I was the last one out while Venable stood in the doorway. She placed her hand in front of me watching the last students disappear down the hall.

"Just because we know each other personally, doesn't me you are an exception to the rules" she scolded.

"I'm sorry" I forced my watery eyes to the floor. She waited keeping her arm from letting me leave.

I realized what she wanted, "I'm sorry Ms. Venable" I whispered. She let a fake smile offering me a goodbye.

I rushed to the bathroom not caring if I was late to my next class. Tears fell down my cheeks immediately.

A frustration coursing through my veins, I fished in my bag pulling out the almost forgotten piece of silver.

A razor blade, I placed it on my wrist sliding the metal quickly. Bubbles of blood spread.

I was tricked by her, she didn't want anything to do with me.

I cried holding my knees up to my chest. I decided I'd stay here till the end of the day.

------------------------------------------------------------

The bell rang causing me to jolt. I assumed I had dozed off. Fighting the ache in my chest I got up.

I slipped out, rushing toward the exit of the building.

I wasn't going to sit in silence in the car with her, or listen to her order me around like her dog.

I'd just walk.

It only took me a few minutes to make it outside her home. Her car was still gone filling me with relief.

I didn't like the way this was turning out, it was feeling more and more like my old house.

I went up to the door seeing if it was unlocked. Immediately I went to the back opting to try and fit through the cat's doggy door.

Once inside I began to pack my stuff,  leaving most of the purple clothes behind.

A long bang sounded followed by yells of my name. "Y/n, are you here?" I peaked out into the entrance.

"Sweetheart?" My heart melted at the name. Instinctively I came into her view.

In seconds her demeanor changed to anger. "How did you get here?". 

"I walked" I didn't speak loud but she raised her voice anyway. "You skipped half your classes, and I had no idea where you were".

I finally snapped yelling back at her, "You're not my fucking mom, why do you even care?". Her face fell to complete seriousness.

In a calm voice she responded, "Do not speak to me with that kind of language". There was a dangerous quiet looming between us.

Suddenly she approached me, raising her hand. I flinched, scared she might hit me.

Instead her finger pointed to the bedroom, her eyes softened at my reaction.

"Please, just go in there", I did trying not to cry on my way there.

Sobbing I put the rest of my stuff in the bag I brought. And opened the window.
