I've been in my room for 3 days. R has been staying at my house and skipping school. She gives me things when I need them. She brings in food, my meds, drinks, clean blankets and takes the dirty ones. She makes me do things so I don't become inactive. Like cleaning my room because I refuse to leave my sanctuary. My room is dark and quiet except the music I play. Occasionally I will hear R on a phone talking to her friends. She explains why she is missing school and why I am missing school.
I hate missing school. But I also hate school. I get up and get on some pants and a tank top. My hair is a mess, my eyes have bags and are puffy, and I smell like shit. I take off the dirty pants and my tank top and get in the shower.
After my shower I then go out and into my room. I lay back in bed and smell the sheets. They smell of dirt and sweat. I take them and put my blanket on the floor. I lay on my bed, just a mattress and pillows. I look up at the pillars on my bed and think. **Why am I so sad about this? They weren't really ever there for me. Plus I need to see how Adam is. I need to know how he is doing.** I get up and walk out of my room. The light hits my eyes and it burns and I feel myself look away. I see R's figure walking up to me. I look up and try to get used to the light. My vision starts to not be as blurry. I can see R now. She looks at me with pity and sorrow.
" Whats wrong? "
" Nothing is wrong with me I am actually just sorry for you."
" Why?"
" Because, well one. you aren't enrolled in school anymore. You missed too many days of school. two. graduation is tomorrow. And three. everyone thinks you've either gone crazy or are dead."
" WHAT?" I scream "WHAT DOES ADAM THINK?!"
" He thinks you're... um, dead."
"WHAT WE HAVE TO TELL HIM I'M NOT!"
"I tried telling everyone okay. No one believed me!"
"Let's go and show my face around town so no one thinks i'm dead."
"Okay lets go. I'll drive."
"Okay." I run out the door and hop in the car while R locks up.
She drives me to the store and we get snacks for the ride.
