I woke up a couple of hours later on my messy bed. The sharp pain in my head was killing me but I did my best to ignore it. Looking over at the digital clock on my nightstand, I saw that it was already one in the afternoon. Guilt washed over me once I realized that I was supposed to meet up with Josh today. He's probably tried to call me but, it's not like that's going to work. Seeing as Mark smashed my phone against the wall yesterday..  

Every time I think about what happened yesterday, I get this pain in my chest. The horrible feeling of heartbreak hurts me. I can't help but feel like what happened yesterday was all my fault. Maybe I drove Mark to cheat? Maybe, if I was a better girlfriend, he wouldn't have cheated on me. It's all my fault.  

Sighing quietly, I swung my legs over the edge of my bed and forced myself to stand up. Ignoring the aching all over my body, I walked out of my bedroom and towards the bathroom. I stripped out of my clothes and turned on the water. I waited patiently until the water was hot enough for me to step in.  

After taking a long shower, I wrapped the towel around my body before walking back into my bedroom. Dropping my towel on the floor, I changed into some cut off denim shorts, a Asking Alexandria band tee and some purple vans. Since there wasn't any visible bruises on my arms or legs, I decided it was safe to wear this outfit in public. Most of the bruises were on my stomach and back, anyways.  

I quickly ran a brush through my black hair and did my best to cover up some of the bruises on my neck and face with make up before I was finally finished getting ready. I didn't want to be in this house any longer so I decided to just go for a walk in the park. Hopefully, that helps me clear my head a bit more.  

The walk to the park didn't take very long. I noticed there were a lot of people at the park but I ignored mostly all of them. Some parents were giving me death glares, most likely because most of my arms, chest, hands and my right leg are covered in tattoos. Ignoring their glares, I continued walking down the path until I reached the empty swing set.  

I sat on the swing and let my mind beginning to wonder. I always think about what my life was like before this.  

Six years ago, I woke up in the hospital here in Seattle. The doctors told me that I had terrible amnesia caused by hitting my head during a car accident I was apparently involved in. The man driving the vehicle I was in left the hospital weeks before I woke up. Unfortunately, the hospital lost his records so they were unable to contact him and tell him that I was awake.  

Alone and on my own, I went to one of the coffee shops downtown and that's were I met Anna. I felt like I needed to vent my problems to someone so I just ended up spilling everything to Anna. I expected her to just give me some crappy advice or something like that but instead, she offered me a place to stay. Later, she introduced me to Mark and we instantly hit it off. That same day, I applied for a job at the bar and thankfully, they took me in and helped me as well.  

It's funny how all in one day, I had woken up in a hospital, homeless, met some stranger who offered me a place to stay, met an 'amazing' guy -at least that's what I thought at the time- and got a job at a bar. Everything was fine, well except for Mark's abuse, but other than that. I had a decent life..... until yesterday when I found my boyfri- ex boyfriend and 'best friend' fucking on the couch.  

Tears began forming in my eyes but I held them back. I don't want to have a breakdown here at this fucking park in front of other people. Looking down at my lap, I began twirling my thumb. It was a bad habit, along with biting my nails and my bottom lip.  

"The way you're twirling your thumb reminds me of a past friend of mine..." A voice mused.  

I looked up and felt my eyes widen once I saw the drummer for Asking Alexandria standing a few feet in front of me.  

James Cassells.
