ah, new story! before I start, I need to say that I got inspiration and basically a quarter of the plot line from a youtube short film called "Boy" which I strongly encourage y'all to watch bc I absolutely adored it!

I stood in front of the mirror today. I'd just gotten out of the shower and my hair clung to my chest and dripped down my body, causing a ghost of a shiver, but that's not what I was particularly concerned about.

My eyes flickered to the bandages I held in my hand, and I hesitantly unraveled.

Once I was satisfied I tucked in the tail and admired the nude fabric. It was a bit constricting, but it was a small price to pay in my mind. I sighed and grabbed my hair, holding it behind my head as if to test a theory.

That's when the door decided to open unannounced.

"Melanie, what are you doing?"

I flinched and grabbed my towel, trying to cover myself, but I knew it was too late. She had already seen me.

"Nothing, mother," I tried, weighing my options.

"Oh, Mel..." she looked down at me in disappointment. "We can find you help, you know. You don't have to suffer this way."

"I'm fine, really I am. And I'm not fucking sick," I almost growled, my temper getting the better of me.

"Watch your mouth, young lady."

Oh how I wish she wouldn't call me that.

"Now hurry up, you'll be late for school." She gave me one last pained look before leaving me alone in my thoughts.

I have a lot of this written already, but chapter 1 probably won't be posted until it's all written and done. thanks for reading! and I rly appreciate comments and votes! until next time :)
