As I walk home, I start to get the feeling that someone is watching me as I shiver before noticing that I am in the forbidden place of town.

"Shit! Where are I," I whisper to myself

"In no man's land"

I stop walking and look around.

"Who's there?" I shout

"Duh, no one's here. I'm by myself in a forbidden part of town, why would anyone be in here?" I say to myself.

"I'm here"

I look around, terrified. Noticing how nobody is around me.

"I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU"

I turn around like I just say someone shoot theirself.

I start sobbing after realizing, nobody is talking to me.

"It's in my head" I say to myself. Then I started running in a direction hoping I would find a road.

"Please, somebody help me!" I shout after running for about half an hour.

"Wait" I say to myself. "I've been here before"

"Omg! It's not letting me leave. Its dragging me back to the same spot I was in half an hour ago." I say.

My phone rings. "Huh, Grandma, she never calls me."

I answer.

"OMG, TIFFANY. ARE YOU OK?!?!?!"

"Yeah, great." I say

"Where are you honey, we checked the hospital and you weren't there. We thought you might've went home, but you weren't there either. And we checked all of your friend's houses, not there. And... we heard about your mother, we're very sorry about your loss. And I know that you can't live with your father because, ya know,  he's crazy, so Tim and I have decided to let you live with us until you turn 18 and you can live on your own. But we will always keep in touch with you." My Grandma says

"Why, so you can spoil me and cuddle  and love me because your WONDERFUL HUSBAND won't" I say.

"Wha- What are you talking about Tiffany? Why are you being that rude?" She starts to sob.

"Because. Because. Because YOU ARE A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT THAT NOBODY CARES ABOUT. YOU SHOULD JUST GO COMMIT SUICIDE LIKE WONDERFUL EX-HUSBAND FRODO DID!" I shout into the phone before smashing it into the ground.

Then I start sobbing. "Why me?" I ask myself.

"Hello?"

I turn my head slowly. "Hello?"

I hear it again. "Hello?"

"Hello, who is there?" I say.

"OMG! Are you okay?" I hear as a man walks out from behind a tree.

"I heard yelling then a scream and I was just checking if everything is ok." The man says.

"Who are you?" I ask

"My name is-"

I start to sob. "I wish any of this never happened"

"What's wrong?" He says

"Everything."

"Do you need help?" he asks

"Yes, but you can't help." I say

"What do you mean?" He says

"Look, my dad is insane, my mother died earlier today, I hate my grandparents, and I just don't know what to do. I just need to think." I say.

"There's foster care." He says.

I look at him like he's stupid.

"Just a thought." He says.

"Can you just drive me to a counselor or something." I say.

"Yes, I can. Whatever helps" he says

"Thanks. But first, can I get a burger or something. I haven't eaten for a couple of days." I say.

"Uh. Yeah, we can do that." He says

"Thanks" I say before I walk out of the woods relieved.
