CHARLOTTE'S POV*
(Picture of Charlotte above)"Mom? You know how much I love you right?" I said as my mum was on the computer finishing off some work.
"What do you want Charlotte?" She laughs.
"Set It Off have a show next week and I really wanna go can I go?" I asked really fast.
"Honey, you know how I feel about you going to concerts. You never know what could happen" she said sadly.
"I know but-" she cut me off.
"No buts sweetie, you're not not going" she said sternly.
"Okay mom" I said sadly. I knew that that was it, she isn't gonna change her mind. Oh well. Best get ready for work.
Okay yes I know it's weird that I'm 19 and I still live with my mom and dad. But I'm too scared to live alone yet. Maybe in a year I'll find my own place but for now I live here.
I go and take a quick shower. I get out and dry my long, white hair. I shock it up in a messy bun and do my makeup.
I do a black and red eye look and Matte black lipstick. I put on a black skater skirt and a top that is a lot of different shades of grey. I also put on my favourite pair of heels that have little buckles on them. I stick on my beanie and I'm good to go.

I go downstairs and grab my leather jacket. "I'm heading out to work I'll see you guys soon" I say to my mom and dad who are sitting at the table eating breakfast.
"Bye sweetheart" they say. I grab my bag and go to my car. I jump in it and hit play on the CD.
It's the same each and every night Glare at my screen with 2 big bloodshot eyes
I'm stuck self torturing
My meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can't fix this I'm hopelessI sing along to "I'll sleep when I'm dead" by Set It Off.
"My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock
Time stands still but I can not
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead"I sing along with a few more songs before I get to work. I pull up in the mall parking lot. I work at a hot topic here.
I know surprise surprise, the emo kid works at hot topic. But hey ho, I enjoy working there so.
I put my lanyard round my neck before walking into the shop. I walk into the back to tell my boss that I'm in.
I go to the till. "Hey Meghan, Tommy says you've to stock the shelfs" I say to my friends Meghan who works here too.
