Beauty.

That is all I see when I look in the mirror, some may call me a narcissist. Others do think I am beautiful. But what am I in God's eyes? A sinner or a saint? This does not matter, I am not religious anyways.

Standing in a room full of mirrors, I stare at myself. There's no one else here with me, sitting down on the floor I watch. My reflection does not move and sit with me, it just stares off right back where I was standing.

Tilting my head I crawl forward reaching out to touch the mirror, but yank my hand back shrieking piercing my ears. The sound pounds and rips at my ear drums as I hold my head praying for it to stop. It does not stop, a never ending scream, I am to scared to open my eyes. Chills cover my arms as I slowly open them seeing a bleeding sliced body in the reflection. Just as I go to scream I wake up.

Beauty.

That is not what I saw when I looked in the mirror.

I sit up in my bed with a violent jolt my blonde roommate glancing over at me.

"You good?" She asked

I just nod looking down and sigh getting up, my feet touch the cold hardwood floor. I hated this dorm, it was small and grey, boring for my taste. I wanted to paint my room but my roommate refused to let me do anything colorful. I pull my bright pink bag out from under the bed and start to shove clothes into it.

It was finally here. Spring break. I hadn't seen Brent in about a month, we had grown up together in the same town, so this separation was awful. I glance to my phone seeing a text appear on it from Brent.

I'm Here Beautiful, let's go slow poke.

I quickly zip up my bag and throw it over my shoulder shoving my phone and some cash into my pocket before running out of the dorm and down the stairs. Running across the campus I spot Brent leaning on his silver Mustang.

"Brent!" I giggle jumping into his arms

"I missed you!" he laughed catching me and spun around with me. Pulling back I look into his eyes kissing him lovingly "You ready to go?" he asked smiling

"Yeah." I laugh hopping into the car as Brent got in. I let my long wavy brunet hair down out of the messy bun I slept in and rolled down the window.

Brent turned on the radio driving out of the driveway pulling out onto the highway. I ran my fingers through my hair swaying to the music in my seat looking over at him and smirked.

"You missed me?" I tease leaning over the consul and kiss his neck. Brent laughed nodding and tried his best to focus on the road.

I smile leaning back in my seat and look down at myself, I was wearing my pjs still. I unbuckle my seat belt reaching into the back seat and start to pull a pair of shorts and a tank top out of my bag. It was 83 degrees out and I was already dying of heat against the leather seats. I pulled off my shirt catching Brent glancing over at me.

"Pay attention to the road!" I laugh pulling on my shirt and finish changing my shorts buttoning them. I smile looking down blushing a little and pick at my nails.

I look over to Brent frowning and cant help but think about how I let him down. All through high school I had promised Brent I would go to our home state's college with him.

By senior year Brent got an athletic scholarship to California University, his parents were so happy and proud. California's university was only an hour and a half from our home town. I was planning on going to the university with him but I got a full scholarship to Arizona. I let Brent down choosing the Arizona university over him and I could not believe he still loved me.

I had broken his heart before I left and he was done with me. Only four days into my stay at college he drove down to apologize and get back with me. I of course took him back because I loved him more then anything.

I remember the day we met at homecoming, he had always been at my school but we never had classes together. He instantly fell for me and it was perfect, now here we were. On our way to his Grandparents lake house in Riverside California.

Brent smiled cheering as we entered the high way that would bring us right to California. As we entered Highway I-101 we passed a sign that caught my attention.
