"Diana, please be careful." Charlie tells me, stepping out of the Uber, he called one instead of Cindy because I told him to. Charlie also messaged Floyd on my phone during the ride over here about staying with him, I argued with Charlie but he just took the phone from me...Floyd said he has to speak with his wife or something. I should just sleep on the street, I'm causing problems.

"I'll be fine." I mumble, rubbing my eyes before leaning to the side, I put my hand on the car, leaning down to look into the small mirror.

I look a mess...There's mascara all down my cheeks and my lipstick is smudged, my hair looks crazy and I'm still wearing the shirt that looks like a bra...I almost look worse than I feel....

I ignore how I look and begin walking to the bar, ignoring Charlie as he speaks behind me. I stumble up to the door, slowly stepping into the warmth.

There's a few people, mostly old men. There's one person sitting at the bar who I recognise straight away, just from the back of her head even though I'm drunk. Miss Snow. I call her and she turns her head, looking at me as her eyebrows immediately furrow. She looks concerned. I look back at her for a second before looking away and walking around the bar to Floyd.

"What did your wife say?" I ask him, putting my hand on the bar. He puts down a glass, sliding it to Miss Snow.

"She said that it's alright. I'm working late tonight though, I can give you the address or you—"

"I'll wait, it's fine. Thank you, Floyd, I'm going to go get cleaned up." I smile.

"Do you want some help? I can step outside with you if you need to talk." Floyd says, looking at me, a look in his eye, it's a caring look in his eyes, like he actually cares about me.

"No, no, I'll be fine." I offer him a small smile as I sniffle a little before walking back around the bar and heading to the bathroom as best as I can. I go to the sink and start cleaning my face.

I begin sobbing at the sink, my head still having that head feeling but the realisation of this whole night begins to sink in...I suppose it is around that time of night where things hit me the hardest.

I squint, the light being a bit too bright in here, it's also freezing in here...I wipe beneath my eyes, sniffling and trying to pull it together.

Melody laughed at me...She was recording me and laughing. Lots of people were...Jane was at home with my Dad? It sounds crazy but it happened, it all happened in one night.

It doesn't help me, trying to pull myself together as it all sinks in more, it all feels like too much, too much to handle, it feels too heavy to carry.

I slowly lower myself to the ground, not caring about how dirty this floor is, I don't think it matters to me right now.

I bring my legs to my chest, wrapping my arms around my legs as I sob...What the hell is my life, why did this happen? Why tonight?

"Oh, god." I hear a voice and quickly lift my head, spotting Miss Snow at the door. I sniffle, looking up at her.

I go to speak but stop, lowering my head again as I realise that I have nothing to say—I have a lot to say actually but I can't. I just can't right now.

"You're shaking." I feel something warm being wrapped around me and look to see Miss Snow wrapping a dark trench coat around me.
