Only In Nightmares

Chapter 3

It's been about 3 days since I have seen Oli and his friends. I was still unaware of the feeling that came over me when I looked at Mitch. I wasn't about to let it bother me for another moment.

My weight is at a standstill and I am beginning to become more and more frustrated with myself; who I am, and who I have let myself become.  I was once so confident, and happy. But now I'm left with scars and a constantly empty, rumbling, stomach.

--------------------------------------------

Today was the day my mother and I were going out with all the bridesmaids for my uncles wedding. We were at the salon getting our practice hair and make up done. For the first time in several months I felt stunning. I wasn't sure if this terrified me, or if it was filling me with bliss. Normal girls would love the attention, but I'm not 'normal girls'. At this exact moment in time I felt socially equivalent to the popular preppy girls who attend my school. Normally they would show up in their high heels and tight dresses with their hair in shiny silky curls. Even on their "bad days" they still looked drop dead gorgeous. Maybe they made a pack with Satan that they would fill our high school with devilish jerks if he gave them the power of beauty.

Maybe.

But probably not.

While getting my hair done I was told that there was to be a meeting with all the bridesmaid at a respectable park about 20 minutes away from where we were now stationed at.

As we pulled up to the large, beautiful, park at it's central parking location my heart started racing. The emotions that flooded through me when I first opened the door to Oli and his friends- particularly Mitch- rushed over me like an overflowing waterfall.

All the beautifully dressed up women were discussing the details of what was to happen the day of the wedding. I felt a cold rush of blood flush through my body.

I could feel someone watching me and I suddenly realized who it because before I could even see his long shadow-like figure.

Mitch.
