The alarm clock began to go off at the usual time  of six in the morning. "It's too early to even consider getting up" I said as I rolled back over. Not even two minutes later it goes off again. "Grrr" I throw the covers off of me and I sit up and rub my eyes. "What do I wear today?" I thought. I just grabbed the first thing I saw in my closet which just happened to be this really cute dress that has some lace on it. It's my favorite dress I own. Once I'm dressed I go to my mirror and I just decided to go basic with my makeup. Just eyeliner and mascara with a light colored lipstick. I threw on my BVB necklace and called it a day. I stood in front of the mirror and just stared at myself. "Damn I look hot today" I thought. I smiled  then put my shoes on. I smelt food cooking as I walked down stairs to find my mother actually cooking breakfast. "ugh her boy toy Thomas is down there. Gross" I pulled a chair out and sat as far as I possibly could from that douche bag. "Oh! Claire I'm not making you food. You want to be all grown up then you can make it yourself" my mother said when she noticed I was down stairs. She's still mad at me from the argument a few months ago. I rolled my eyes "Well Thomas is an adult and you take care of him like he's a five year old" I replied with as much attitude as I possibly could. Thomas put the newspaper down and glared at me. "You know what if you're going to be a bitch today, don't even think about coming home tonight" Thomas told me. "I already planned on not coming home anyways. There's a party on the beach tonight" I thought.  I just stood up, grabbed my stuff and slammed the door on my way out. I pulled out my phone and called Jacob asking for a ride. It wasn't too long until he showed up just barely long enough  for me to listen to my mom and Thomas to talk shit about me behind my back. 

"Girl get in!" Jacob yelled at me before he even stopped the car. "you're still down for the party tonight right?" I glanced at him. "Of course I'm down. Why wouldn't I? Besides I can't exactly go home tonight anyways" I began to tell him what happened this morning and after that the car ride was silent all the way to the high school. "Meet me right here after school and we'll go do something until the party starts" Jacob hugged me and walked away. I walked down the halls  and of course at my locker is my ex boyfriend Damion. He's part of the reason my mom grew hate for me a couple months ago. "What do you want Damion?" I ask as I push him out of the way. "Don't be so rude. I know you still want this." I rolled my eyes. "Nobody wants that" he smirked at me. "you sure as hell did a couple months ago but you still going to that party tonight?"

"Yeah I am."

"well you still got to chip in" I handed him my ten and Jacobs ten. "There you go now leave" I closed my locker and went to class.


*Time Skip*


The last bell rings and I went to the spot and Jacob was already there waiting for me. "thank god today was Friday" Jacob chuckled. I nod in agreement. "So what are we going to do?" I ask as I climb into his car. "I'm not sure. What did you want to do?" I just looked at him. "let's just go chill at the beach and wait there" I said with an annoyed tone. "Girl don't give me that tone" I apologized for having a tone. When we got the beach we just sat in the sand and watched the sunset. People started showing up after the sun had set. They sure did miss out on a sunset as pretty as that one. Damion walked over to where I was sitting and handed me a red solo cup. "cheers to this night. I heard your parents kicked you out for the night. My place is always there for you if you need it" he said as he sat next to me. "Claire, I really miss you. I think about you all the time and I was hoping maybe we can give it another try." I leaned against him. " I don't know what I want to do right now. Everything is still really tough right now" he wrapped his arms around me. It didn't quite feel right so I sat up and chugged my drink and stood up to get another. I did shot after shot and soon found myself dancing with Damion but then a prettier girl caught his attention and I was soon forgotten by him. That's how it usually worked. I was his girl when he couldn't get anyone else. I tried walking away when some guy grabbed my waist. I let out a yelp.  "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" I turned around to find a blob holding me. I didn't think I had that much to drink but apparently I was drunk enough that I couldn't walk. "What's your name?" The blob asked. "Um.... Claire" it took me a while to get my name to come out. "Hi Claire. Let's go clean you up and get you to sober up some" The blob wiped my face and sat me down by a fire pit. "Sorry I don't think I introduced myself. I'm Andy Biersack, lead singer of Black Veil Brides." I smiled "I know who you are you were just a blob not to long ago" I continued to smile "oh god it's him stop being weird and don't mess things up!"  I thought. We sat there talk about everything and nothing. He brought up the one topic I can't stand to talk about. Not after what happened about 7 months ago. Children...
