I paced around the living room, my fingers running through my messy blonde hair. A line of curse words leaving my mouth. How in the hell is this possible? No, how did I not notice this before? No wonder Hayley seemed so similar. She's the same girl from my childhood. The girl who promised me that she would never leave me.... and a week later, she left. She left without even saying goodbye, and I think that's what pisses me off the most. 

"Fuck," I collapsed on the floor, my legs crossed underneath my weight. How am I supposed to face Hayley again, knowing that she was once my childhood best friend? She doesn't even remember me. If she did, she would have said something by now. She would have said something like, 'Oh, I remember you! You're D.' But she never has and I don't think she ever will. Hayley once told me that we were best friends- inseparable, and no matter what happened, she would never forget me. But, I guess that was a complete and utter lie. 

I stared down at the old photograph. A mixture of anger and sadness quickly began to boil inside me. I didn't know whether to scream or punch a wall. But I was certain about one thing- I was not going to cry. There was no way in Hell that I was going to cry. The only people that have ever seen me cry is my mother, Diana and my father. They're the only people who have ever and will ever see me cry. And I tend to keep things that way. 

Instead of ripping or crumpling the photograph, I folded the old picture and shoved it back inside the leather photo book. A heavy sigh left my mouth as I forced myself up from the floor and tossed the photo book on the loveseat couch. I forced any thoughts of Hayley to the back of my head as I made my way towards my new bedroom. I didn't have the energy to take a shower so I decided to skip out on doing that. All I needed and all I wanted was some sleep. Sleep will help me clear my mind and sleep will help me forget about everything for a couple of hours. 

Besides, I need rest for tomorrow's party at Willy's house. Willy's parties always last a while. Once, during the summer, he threw a party that lasted three days in total. The cops eventually came to shut the entire thing down, and told everyone to go home or they'd call everyone's parents. The only reason Willy didn't get arrested for having alcohol and drugs at the party was because his uncle is cheif of police and gives Willy more than enough chances. That's another reason why WIlly's parties are always the best- we never get busted for having booze or drugs. 

I slowly stripped out of my clothing- leaving myself in only my undergarments. Thankfully, I got the mattresses from my old bed put on the bed frame that Jenny had given me so I didn't need to worry about sleeping on the couch. Crawling on top of the mattress, I pulled the thick blanket over my body, burying my face into the pillow as I slowly began to fall asleep. 

**** 

"Lydia! Get your ass up!" My eyes shot open as I felt the blanket being ripped off of my half naked body. I quickly sat up on the bed, glaring at Riot who had the blanket tightly gripped in her hands. Standing beside Riot was Peter and Taylor York. Great, let's add those two to the list of guys who have seen me naked. I'm not completely naked, but these are lace undergarments so it's pretty damn close, in my opinion. 

"Jesus, Riot! What the hell are you doing here? And how the fuck did you guys get in anyways?" I asked. Quickly grabbing the blanket from Riot's hold, I covered my bare body with the thick material, but that didn't change the fact that two of my guy friends had just practically seen my goods.
