Narrator Pov:
Shout at the devil by Mötley Crüe just finished playing. Now Tainted Love by soft cell played loudly inside of Madeline Hargroves bedroom as she sung and danced around.

"Sometimes I feel like I've got to. . .Run Away. I've got to get away. From the pain you drive into the heart of me. The love we share..Seems to go nowhere."

She looked into her mirror and fixed her long hair as she continued to sing. "The tainted love you've given. I give you all a girl could give you."

She was wearing a oversized metal band shirt that once belonged to her older brother, with a pair of black shorts she had for about a year. There was a healing bruise on her face from her most recent school fight on Thursday. She was suspended for the rest of the week.

Mari Lewis, the girl was laughing at Dustin. Maddie, being overprotective, pushed her. Marie then punched Maddie and then Maddie proceeded to beat her up. It was kind of the usual for Madeline Hargrove.

"Take my tears and that's not nearly all, tainted love."

The song continued on. Maddie hopped onto her bed and jumped and danced around, yelling the lyrics, a bottle of hairspray in hand. "Tainted Love. Tainted Love. Touch me baby. . .Tainted love."

"Touch me baby, tainted love. Tainted love."

The door suddenly swung open, and her best friend Mike Wheeler, whom she lived with entered, yelling her name multiple times.

She jumped from the bed, a bit embarrassed, setting down the hairspray and turning off the music. She didn't think he could hear the music from in the basement.

"Yes?"

"We are late," Mike had said.

"For What?"

"To pick up the pizza for the campaign! The guys are almost here!" He yelled.

"Okay, okay..I can go."

"They are arriving in 30." he states, "Also clean this room before mom, Nancy and dad get home."

The girl scoffed, "Have you taken a look at the basement? It's horrendous."

He rolled his eyes and stormed out, slamming the door. She hurried and put her converse on that had drawings and words all over them. She got back to the house 20 minutes later, yes, she ran the whole way there and back. She had been training to join the track team in high school for years. She set the pizza down on the kitchen table,"Mike!"

He ran upstairs, taking a box, running back to his basement, "you are the best, thanks!"

She got back to her room and turned the music back on and began to pick up clothes on the floor, she fixed her books and vinyls. She put the posters back on the wall that had fallen off. "Heart Of Glass" by blondie was now playing.
