-I'm not your mom...

I got confused, who could it be. "Don't open". The curiosity dominated me. I got up and opened the door.

-Are you okay?

-Do I look like I'm okay Scarlett?

-I was worried about you. Oliver told us you went home, and didn't tell us why. He said just that your mom told you to come. But I know you too well. You wouldn't leave without bid farewell, so I came here. Now tell me what happened.

My eyes became full of tears again. I took pulled her in a hug and closed the door.

-He was asking me about my scars., I was retelling her while sobbing. He was violent. I didn't want to tell him because I wasn't ready. He grabbed me hard by my wrist, leaving a big bruise on it. He was yelling at me. I was so scared to see those eyes. Lettie, you had to see them.

She was calming me down, while petting my head and back. After I calmed down, I looked at her lovely blue eyes and said:

-Can you please stay overnight? I don't want to sleep alone.

-Okay.

We went to bed. She fell asleep while I was struggling. I got up and looked at the time. 2:24 a.m. I went to look out of the window and tried to forget about everything. I heard Lettie's phone vibrating. Someone texted her. Who would text her at 2 a.m. I tried to focus on other thoughts. Lettie has her own life and deserves some personal space. Maybe Charlie texted her. I looked back in the window.

 The glitter in the sky looks as if I could scoop it all up in my hands and let the stars swirl and touch one another but they are so distant so very far apart that they cannot feel the warmth of each other even though they are made of burning

The glitter in the sky looks as if I could scoop it all up in my hands and let the stars swirl and touch one another but they are so distant so very far apart that they cannot feel the warmth of each other even though they are made of burning. For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe. I sat on the window sill and watched the tinny crystals shinning in the sky. With that, I fell asleep. The next day we went at school, even tho I didn't want to.

 Before I could enter the school, someone hugged me from the back

-You have one minute to explain me everything.

-Listen, I thought someone did that to you, and I was super worried about you. I wasn't thinking about your personal space and I'm really sorry for that. I understand you need some time and space, and that I was an idiot because I behave myself like that with you. It's up to you, if you want to tell me or not. And if you won't, I'll understand.

"Everything is a lie. A lie. A FUCKING LIE!!!"

-That's okay, I understand, but you better never do that again. And, no one did that to me, I did it to myself.

-Omg, why?

-I was 12, and dumb. Nobody cared about me, so I wanted to get rid of this bullshit. Luckily, Lettie came in the right moment, and stopped me. From then we became friends and at that moment, life started to have a sense for me. Now I have you and her, and I realize what and idiot I was. I didn't want to tell you because you'd think I'm an psycho.

-Babe, I would never. You should tell me from the very beginning.

-I'm sorry. I was dumb enough to think you'd dumb me.

I kissed him and we walked in the school.

"I don't understand why are you so fucking dumb? How can you be so blind? Everybody is using you. Your Oliver, Your Lettie. They're all fake. You are like a doll. They will love you as much as they can use you. Their loyalty ends where the benefits stop. Stop crossing oceans for people that won't even jump a puddle for you. How can you be that blind? Oliver's stepmom. Lettie's message in the middle of the night. They're all connected. How can you not see that? You are going to end up like your grandma'like that-"

At that moment when the voices said that, I couldn't resist. My blood was boiling. My body trembling. My voice shaking. I was angry as fuck. I couldn't resist and I yelled, that the whole school could hear me.

-SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! ...
