It's now really dark and there isn't any light coming from under my door. I can just about hear my dad snoring and I take note of the fact that the TV has been turned off. I was dressed again and I quietly unscrew the security grill on my window that keeps it barred shut. I lift my window and quickly hop out of my house being grateful that the house is only one storey or else sneaking out would have been much more difficult. I make my way to the massive power lines and walk under them, following them. I pay attention to the sounds of the night: the crickets chirping, the constant hum of the power lines over my head. The walk to the house wasn't as off roaded as I expected to be, as in I didn't expect to be walking in 4ft talk grass to get to one house. Once I finally reach the house I take in how wonderful and yet mysterious it looks in the middle of the night. It was a detached house that didn't have another house nearby for about a kilometre. It must be wonderful not having neighbours. I knock on the door and wait for (BSF/N) to answer. After waiting longer than I expected, she finally opens the door.
"Hey! You got prickers all over you." I look down at my jeans and noticed that they are completely covered in weeds from my adventure on the way to here. She lets me into her house and it's much larger than mine. I must admit I am slightly jealous but it didn't bother me that much. I just hope she knows how lucky she is. I say hi to Kim and Jackie and we all go into the kitchen and make some food. We stay in the kitchen for a while and up having a huge gossip session. It was fun and it's nice to know I could take part normal teenage girl activities.
"So (BSF/N) said you couldn't come because your dad's real strict or something?" Kim asks me. She wasn't wrong he was fairly strict but he had a right to be. But I couldn't tell these lot the truth.
"He's like that. I don't know why. I crawled out of my window." I wasn't proud of it but I wanted to be seen as a normal teenage girl. How else was I supposed to make friends?
"Does he worry you're going to get kidnapped or something?" Kim keeps asking me. Did it really matter that much? Could we not talk about anything else?
"That might be a relief for him. But your dad must worry plenty-"
"Not even. He wouldn't pay a dime to get me back. Or my sister's. My brother is a different story." Yeah, sure.
"Dad's and their fucking sports boys," (BSF/N) adds.
"Your dad would pay-"
"No. "Think of all the money we'd save on bullshit," he'd say. He calls me his glitter baby and he's not being nice when he says it." I wasn't paying that much attention to the conversation and let the other three talk to eachother.
"My sister started selling Avon. Did I tell you?" (BSF/N) certainly did not tell me. But she was quickly interrupted by Kim.
"He doesn't even know where I am." Damn. Same.
"We're the lost girls then," I say. It's nice to know we can all relate to eachother. Kim hooks her arm through mine.
"Lost girls. Damn right we are."

We end up going to the living room and the girls are trying on different nail varnishes. Me and Kim are underneath the glass coffee table and (BSF/N) and Jackie are sat on the couch. At one point Kim asks me,
"So you can't spend the night?"
"Not all night. He has tomorrow off so I should be back by six to be safe." If I really wanted to be safe I should've just not come.
"Jesus," Kim remarks.
"I'll just head back when you guys want to sleep."
"Where'd you move here from, anyway?" Do friends really ask this many questions?
"Eastern shore."
"Is your mum not in the picture? (BSF/N) says you only have a dad." Jesus why are they talking about my personal life behind my back. I don't care too much, but what's the need? I look up through the glass table at (BSF/N) and she can see me and Kim are talking about something serious. (BSF/N) knocks the table and Kim shows her her nails.
"Cinnamon glaze." That's a bizarre name for a nail varnish. It sounds delicious though.
"We're trying to talk," Kim argues. That was a bit harsh. But we were. I close my eyes trying to not be involved but then I hear (BSF/N),
"Give me your hand."
Kim puts her hand on the table so (BSF/N) can paint her nails. I open my eyes and see she's looking at me with her hand on the table.
"Never mind about your mum. It's not my business." Well that was awfully nice of her.
"I don't have any memories of her, or pictures even. My dad won't tell me anything." As easily as it came out of my mouth I was still upset by the fact. My mum wasn't my favourite subject to talk about but it's not like I could shut the conversation down now.
"I want to move. I'm going to divorce my family when I'm older. You can do that, you know." I look at her again, feeling hungry. Incredibly hungry. Starved. Even though we've eaten twenty minutes ago.
"Try that. It's "Copper Fever"." That sounds interesting. Kim pulls her hand back under the table and inspects her nails.
"It's too orange," Kim comments but the statement didn't fully compute in my head. I was too caught up in my thoughts and couldn't think about anything other than this strange pull that I had towards Kim's fingers once she showed me her freshly painted nails. I reach out and touch her fingers, keeping a light grip on them but slowly pulling them towards my mouth. Strangely, Kim hasn't pulled her fingers away from me for some reason. But I'm far too engrossed in this state of hunger to focus on anything other than how delectable her flesh seems. I take her ring finger into my mouth and bite down. Hard. So hard I could feel her flesh split between my teeth and her bones crunching. A metallic taste filled my mouth and Kim began to finally squirm trying to free herself from my grip but she couldn't. The metallic liquid filled my mouth and I swallowed feeling the warmth go down my throat. It was delicious. I hadn't eaten like this in a long time. So long that now I just couldn't help myself no matter how hard I tried. Like now. I was stopped by (BSF/N) pulling on my leg and yanking me out from underneath the table. Now the source of blood was cut off I had finally come to my senses. Jackie threw up and everyone was screaming. I ran out of the house as soon as I could, going back home just the way I came.
