I wake up the next morning, and immediately feel a sharp pain shoot through my arm. I sigh looking down at my arm that is now fully covered in bandages. I see blood seeping through the bandage, and wince at the color a little. Blood red is one of my least favorite colors.

I finally realize how dry my eyes are, and start rubbing them. I look at my clock to see that I have twenty minutes to get ready for school. I sit up, and run my fingers through my hair before grabbing my glasses, and slipping them on.

I quickly go to my closet, and grab the only black shirt I have along with a pair of red skinny jeans. Then I quickly slip into them. I look in the mirror, and style my blonde hair. I decide to wear my contacts today. So, I walk over to my 'make up' desk that I only use of rare occasions. I pull my glasses off, and get my contacts.

I sit in front of the mirror, and put the contact solution onto the lens before looking up, and placing it in my eye. I look back down, and blink letting my eye adjust. Then I do the same with the other eye. I look at myself then grab the only choker I own slipping it on.

I let my tongue play with the hole that my lip stud sits in when I feel like wearing it. Then I grab my favorite stud and slip it in. I smile, and decide to quickly do my make up. I only do foundation, and eyeliner. I only use one arm. You know since my left one has a huge gash on it. After I finish my makeup I have ten minutes left to get ready.

I use that time to re bandage my arm, and brush my teeth.Oh, and of course slip on shoes. I smile at myself in the mirror. I look different, but a good different. I grab my bag with my good arm along with my car keys. My dad went to the school last night, and picked up my car.

Then the reality that everyone at school probably knows what happened by now, hits me . I sigh, and play with a stand of my hair trying to figure out how I'm going to deal with school. I honestly don't know. I just walk out of my room. I can't just not go.

I walk down the stairs to see my dads sitting in different chairs not speaking to each other when they usually are conversing, and cuddling on the couch sharing a cup of coffee. I quickly walk past them trying to blink the tears out of my eyes.

I walk out of the door as quickly as possible running over to my car, tears starting to fall down my face. When I get in to the car I sling my bag into the passenger seat slamming my door shut. I sit there for a moment my head against the steering wheel. Then I rev the engine, and quickly back up then turn driving as fast as possible out of our long drive way, not bothering with my seat belt.  I knew it was long before, but now it feels like it takes an eternity to get out of it. Even though I have never driven faster down it.

When I pull out I make a sharp turn and drive at 80 mph even though that is way past the speed limit. I get to school fifteen minutes earlier than usual.

I just sit in my car not really sure what to do. I know I should go in, but I'm honestly terrified for the comments that await me inside. I slowly get out anyway grabbing my bag with my good arm sticking my keys in it. I rush through the doors with my head down.

Because I'm not wearing my usually colorful or lazy attire with my normal hair I avoid getting bombarded by fan girls today. I lift my head, and see Dawnie, Jack, and Anastasia standing together. I walk over to them.

"Hi." I say smiling lightly. Their eyes widen, "You look different." Dawnie says examining my new look. "Don't get me wrong you look great though. You should definitely let me do your make up sometime." She adds smiling her accent sounding extra thick today, which probably means that she was smoking with Beau last night.

I nod, "Of course." I look at Jack for approval, and he smiles nodding telling me I look good. I see Anastasia whispering to him, and bawl my fist up a bit wanting to say something, but I'm not going to.

Anastasia, and I are friends don't get me wrong, but we do have our disagreements. I glance around the hallway, and see Alex walking towards us. "Hey, Dawnie are you hanging out with us again tonight?" He asks flashing his signature smile. She doesn't stop scrolling on her phone as she responds with "Of, course. Someone has to watch my dumb ass brother." She let's out a little laugh, and I see Alex smile grow at that his eyes staying locked on her the entire time.

Then his eyes go to me. "I'm sorry about yesterday." He says. I shrug, and Jack and Anastasia look a little confused. "No big deal." I say not really wanting to make him feel bad even though what happened hurt me a lot. "You're welcome to hang out with us tonight by the way." He says. My eyes widen as I look at him.

"Really?" I say sounding a little more excited than I meant to. "Yeah of course." He says. I smile, and nod.  "I'll be there then." I say.

"I'll pick you up since I know where you live." Dawnie says, I know it's partly, because she loves me, and we are like sisters. It's also partly, because she wants to see my dads. I nod, "Okay great see you then." Alex says walking back over to his group.

"We, can do our make up together." Dawnie says smiling. I nod again. "What time should I be ready to leave my house?" I ask.

"Five thirty, and make sure to take a shower, brush your teeth, and also if you can bring a dark red lipstick. I can use the rest of my make up on you, but dark red goes best with that out fit, and I don't have dark red." She says.

I nod once again. "Okay cool, thank you so much for this." I say. "Yeah, of course. We haven't been hanging out as much as we usually do anyway. I miss you. Oh, yeah that reminds me. Beau and I are going on a camping trip in my dad's cabin, and I was wondering if you want to go with us?" She says hopefully.

"I would love too. I'll ask my dad's and get back to you on that." I say. Dawnie nods, and I see her typing then her face turns a bright red color as she blushes.

"Who's that?" I ask wiggling my eyebrows at her. "Nick. He's my sort of boyfriend. Apparently he's coming here to visit today." She says. When she says it I feel happy for her, but my heart sinks because I really want to hang out with her.

"This is perfect he won't be here till seven so we can get ready then you can go with me to the airport to pick him up then we can all hang out with my brother, and his friends. Then me and him can chill alone tomorrow." She says. I smile widely feeling happy again.

"This is going to be so much fun." I say, until I look over, and see Josh standing with Alex,Jeremy, and Jesse glaring at me. If looks could kill I'd be dead right now. Hopefully he won't be there tonight......
