The Perks of Being a Wintergirl

Wrists Are For Cutting

***Later that same day***

Alison had decided to stay indoors all day, to take it easy and relax before class on monday. It was about 4:30 or so in the afternoon when her phone went off again. It was Harry and he'd sent a picture message. 

"Good grief what could it be!" She laughed. Harry had a quirky habit of sending her the most random pictures ever.

She opend the message, the text read --Good morning, babe!-- and the picture was a selfie of him and the boys making ridiculous faces. She laughed as she hit the reply button.

--Ur too funny!! xx--

--Getting ready for a long day!! We'll talk later!! x--

--Have fun!! xx--

She put her phone on her dresser and decided not to stay in after all. She put on her actual running shoes, shorts and her favorite hoodie, the grey Ed Sheeran hoodie that she got at a concert. Evethough they were also friends, she still was a huge fan of his music. Stuffing her headphones in her ears and headed out the door for a walk to clear her head, not even caring that it was raining bc it really was only just a light drizzle now and she had a lot on her mind.  When she finally returned home, it was around 7 in the evening and still, no one was home. 

***one month later***

She went upstairs and just as soon as she opend the door to her room, her phone was ringing. She dash to answer it and was horrified by the voice on the other end of the line.

"Hi baby. Do you know who this is?" The female voice asked.

"Yes. Why are you calling me? How did you even get my number?" Everleigh demanded, sourly.

"Your sister gave it to me. I told her I was your dance instructor.."

"Seriously. Mom, you're really unbelievable!! Why would you even think I'd want to talk to you, let alone have my number?! You tried to sell me for drug money, or have you forgotten that?! How about all the times you used to beat the shit out of me nothing because you were so fucked up?! Or here's my favorite, maybe you'll remeber this, do you remeber overdosing me when i was 2 because you thought it would be fun to get a child high...I ALMOST DIED!! But you never gave a fuck! If it hadnt been for you one friend feeling bad because my lips were turning blue and taking me to the hospital I wouldn't even be here." Alison shouted, she was trembling and her voice was shaking.

"But I'm better now. Let me prove it to you."

"Leave me the fuck alone! NEVER call me again!!!!" She screamed hanging up on her.

Her chest began to feel tight and she could barely breathe. Laying down on her bed, she pulled her knees to her chest to keep herself from shaking violently. She was having an anxiety attack and these always freaked her out. The only reason her dad even had custody of her is because the courts had made him when her mom had gone to jail for drugs and they told her she would never be allowed to see her anymore. The one person in this world that she was terrified of and Regina had just given her number to her. 

Once she had regained her composure somewhat, she decided that she would do one of the only things she knew to make the feeling go away. Drinking.

"Hey Tyler, what are you up to?" She asked, calling up one of her and Miranda's mutual friends.

"Nothing much, just getting some beer for the party. Do you wanna come chill. We're having beer pong, we've got liquor and music. I could send Dan to come give you a lift"

"Sure thing! I'll be ready in 5." She said, feeling nervous about this idea, Niall would definitely not approve, but she was going to do it anyway.
