"Happy Birthday!!" I wake up and see my three best friends standing at the end of my bed. I smile as I get up. "Thanks guys." I reply. "Go, go hurry. We're taking you to eat breakfast, get our nails done, then hair, then clubbing!!" We all cheer at the end. I laugh and go into the bathroom to brush my teeth. After that I slip on a grey camisole, high waist shorts, black flats and fix my hair into a cute messy bun. We go to IHOP. As we are seated, Bella, long black hair, blue eyes and thick body, points out a hot guy staring at me. "It's her birthday, give her a lap dance." she says to the guy. I glare at her as the guy nods. "You don't have to." I smile at him and he shrugs his shoulders. "Bella, what the hell?" I say as we begin to laugh. We eat our food then go to the nail salon. It took us a total of ninety minutes for us to get our nails done, my design is all black nails and the ring fingers blue. 

It's now one o'clock. We get to the hair salon and we had to wait ten minutes to be able to actually get our hair done. I only got my hair dyed to a lighter brown and kept my natural curls. After that we got back to my place around five thirty. Once we walked in, my mom, dad and aunt yelled happy birthday. On the dining room table I see a beautiful cake with frosting, I love frosting. I smile as I hug everyone and thank them. My mom gave me a card and I open it. Inside was five hundred dollars. "We all chipped in." she said. "Thanks mom." I say, although I don't mean it. They never give me something meaningful, just money money and more money. We all eat a piece of cake, except me, I ate at least three pieces. I know, I'm fat.

My friends and I went upstairs and each of us took a shower. By the time we were done it was seven. We got changed then did each others makeup. With the outfit I bought yesterday I wore a silver necklace, hoop earrings, and a charm bracelet that my brother got me when I turned sixteen. He died when I was seventeen and I wear the bracelet every year for my birthday. When we were ready it was nine. We took a couple of pictures before leaving.

We arrive at Marquee around ten. My first time at a club, it seems fun but when we got inside I realized it wasn't a good idea. It's crowded, really crowded. There's sweaty bodies grinding on each other. Guys feeling up on girls even if the girl doesn't want it. It's disgusting. "Do you see what you've been missing?" my closest friend, Elena says. "Yeah and I'm glad I did." I say in disgust. "Nonsense! You just need a drink!" she yells over the music. She grabs my hand and drags me to the bar. I couldn't hear what she ordered but it tasted nasty. When she finishes her drink she pulls me to the dance floor. We begin to dance on each other as How Deep Is Your Love comes on by Calvin Harris. "I love this song!" I yell. "Lets go more into the middle of the dance floor!" Elena yells. As I follow her someone bumps into me causing me to turn around. When I look back I don't see Elena anymore. I walk around the dance floor searching for her. After a couple of minutes I go back to see my other friend Kayla there.

"Where's Bella?" I ask. "Outside!" she yells. I nod and walk away. I go outside and look for Bella. I walk down the block but didn't find her. I turn my head to the right, facing an alley way. There I see someone on their knees. It seems like they're in pain. I begin to walk towards the person. "Hey! Are you okay?" I call out, but they don't reply. Once I'm close enough I tap the person's shoulder. Once I do something hard hits my head causing me to pass out.

I wake up to the sound of police sirens. My vision is blurry and my head hurts but I try to get up. I slip and fall on my butt. I look beside me and see a dead body with all their organs hanging out. I begin to scream as I try to slide away. I look at my hands and see blood all over them. A light blinds me, it's a cop car. I block it as I try to stand up again but end up on my knees. "Freeze!" I hear a cop say. "Please, help!" I call out as tears fall out. The cop helps me up then holds my arms behind me. I feel something cold around my wrists. "Wait. Are you arresting me?" I ask. No reply. "But I didn't do it!" I yell. "I swear I didn't!" I yell again. "Bella!! Elena!! Kayla!!" I continue yelling until I'm inside the cop car.

I've been in prison for two days. Nobody came to visit except for my parents because nobody gives two shits about me. When they questioned me it was horrible.

"Why'd you do it?"

"I didn't."

"You're finger prints were all over the body and weapon."

I laughed and yelled "Fuck you! I didn't do shit!"

Of course they didn't believe me. They probably think I'm insane because I laugh at everything they say. My cell door opens and a female cop walks in. "Wrists out." she demands. I hold out my wrists and she puts cuffs on them. I follow her through the halls and outside to a van. She shoves me inside. There are other prisoners. I sit down at the end and bury my face in my hands. "Tori?" I lift my head and see my ex sitting across from me. "Jace, what are you doing here?" I ask. "They think I'm crazy." he whispers, then laughs. I got confused. "What are you in for?" he asks. "Apparently I killed someone and took all their organs out." I sigh. "I didn't think you were that dirty." he chuckles. "I didn't do it." I reply. "I know you didn't, you don't have the guts to." he smiles. I roll my eyes at him as I sit back. "Where are we going?" I ask. "The Inebriate Asylum." he replies and my eyes widen in shock. "What?!?" I yell. "But I'm not insane." I cry. "Well they think you are." he says. "Great." I mutter.

After about thirty minutes we stopped and someone opened the door for us to get out. They took off our cuffs and gave out clothes. I got a navy blue, long sleeve shirt and gray sweatpants with moccasins.  They showed us to our rooms and left us there for the night...
