I was in the car with my grandparents, on the way to their house. Earlier today, they came to the hospital to get me.

20 Minutes Later

We just pulled into the driveway to my grandparents house.

I jumped out of the car and ran to the front door. As soon as my grandpa unlocked the door, I ran inside. I dashed up the stairs and to my room. I went in, closed the door, and locked it.

I crawled under the covers on the bed and burst into tears. I'd been trying to stay strong. I didn't want people to know how broken I really was. I didn't want people's sympathy. That'll just make everything worse.

2 Hours Later

I woke up, still under the covers. I got up and looked in the mirror. My eyes were red and puffy, and my hair was a mess.

I picked up my hairbrush and was about to start brushing when my phone went off.

It was a text message from Ryan.

"Wow" It said.

"What?" I texted back.

"Never mind"

That was odd. Ryan's never done that before. I decide to just let it go and start the long process of making myself look presentable.
