The Day She Saw

Chapter 3 - Goodbye

         It has been a week since Kyle and Adeline have been at the house, things have seemed to turn out for the best: Adeline and Kyle's tattoos turned out great, they have a nice place to live, a lot of food, and they can watch and listen to the latest stuff. It seemed great, right? It's the life Adeline wanted, but why wasn't she enjoying it? Since being at the house,  Adeline's depression has worsened, she barely ate, temptation to hurt herself has increased, and the struggle to stay alive was huge.

        Sitting outside, at her favorite tree, in the middle of the woods; just the one tree, and then a circle of tree's around it, it was quite beautiful. Adeline continued to write. Ever since coming here, she was writing more, and kept mostly to herself. She lived in that spot; only came in for one meal, sometimes, not even that, and to sleep; every once in awhile Kyle would come out and sit with her... Adeline enjoyed Kyle's company, she sometimes wished that they were something more, but she knew it would never work. A relationship that consists of lies, doesn't really work out; Adeline knew she didn't want her first relationship to be filled with her lies, Kyle didn't even know her real name. She felt bad that she couldn't tell him any of this, maybe one day she will, but it would be a while, because right now, Kyle was her only friend, and wanting him to stay her friend.

       I've been here for a week, Adeline wrote .
       My tattoo looks great, but my body doesn't go with it. I need to lose some more weight, I checked my weight about 2 hours ago, I was 100 pounds, which is to much. Have you seen those girls in the magazine's? I have a few in my room inside, and they are so small! I want to be like them; they have the perfect body, it's so slim and beautiful. I will be like them. Things have been weird for me: pain feels good, I've been debating if I should try it on myself, but I get scraped by accident, and for most people it would hurt, but for me... it's a good pain, a pain I never experienced until I started running.
        Lila plans on bringing me shopping for new clothes, that's exciting I guess, except for the fact that I don't know what my style is anymore. I've worn the same type of outfit for the past month or so: a tank top and shorts. She plans on bringing me full-blown shopping, I already wrote that I know, but she's going to buy me all this stuff that I'll probably not ever wear, and it's all going to be expensive. I've never done good when people buy me stuff. Speaking of that, Lila is calling me. Wish me luck.

        Adeline closed her journal and headed to the house. Trying to walk as slow as she could, not wanting to go.

"Come on Allison!" Lila said, she sounded annoyed, so Adeline sped up, "okay, Allison, we have to try to disguise you a little, if people recognize you they'll call the cops." Lila said and they head inside, making Adeline look like a whole new person. A couple days ago Lila bought Adeline a wig, just in case they went out in public; Lila grabbed her makeup and gave Adeline fake freckles, a lot of makeup, and fake glasses. Adeline looked at herself in the mirror, the hair was cut into a bob cut, it was shoulder length in the front and as short as her actual hair in the back. She looked like a whole new person.

        Lila and Adeline got into the car and started driving, Adeline just looked out the window, enjoying every bit she can: the way the tree's would flow poetically with the wind, the designs in the sky, the lines on the road. Everything. 

"What are you thinking about?" Lila asked.

"Nothing really, I'm just enjoying the drive." Adeline said, this time actually telling the truth.

"You know Allison, if you ever need to chat women on women, I'm here for you. I may have only known you for a week, but you're like my daughter."

"Sounds like my mom..." Adeline whispered, not realizing she said that out loud.
