Alex pov-
I didn't want my dad to complain or make fun of me, that I ran away from school. Because I was being bullied," now I know why you're so pathetic, you can't stand up for yourself " I heard my dad shouting in my head. I closed my eyes my breathing was shakey. I quickly open my eyes when I felt Jason stare, " I'm fine, " I said faking a smile I grabbed Jason's wrist and led him to the back of the junkyard. where a light blue van was sitting. All four tires were missing and one of the windows were cracked but it still had its charm, there were fairy lights wrapped around the top. I smiled this was my safe haven I let go of Jason's wrist and headed towards the van.
I slid open the van door, inside the van was a medium size mattress that was on the left side of the wall. it had a fluffy blanket on it and two pillows, a picture of my mother was sitting on a crate it was beside my mattress. Each wall was filled with my drawings and in the corners were hanging lava bottles in the middle of the ceiling was a vintage lantern and in the back of the van was a small bookshelf filled with book and sketched books, a radio was placed on the top. I walked inside a wave of calmness washed over me, Jason dropped his cigarette and stomped on it then he followed behind me.
"this place is neat, " Jason said as he looked around I walked to the bookshelf and turned on the radio. " thanks my mom made it for me it was for my 5th birthday its supposes to be my escape from the world" I explained, I put my backpack beside the bookshelf and walked to my mattress to sit down. I gently patted a spot next to me Jason chuckled and took a seat I felt a little uncomfortable, I had never invited anyone over before but I soon relaxed when I glanced at my mother's picture.
After I relaxed Jason and I had started a conversation but I slowly started to tune him out when I heard one of my favorite songs on the radio it was "creep" this song reminded me of my lovely Luna. I started to drift into my thoughts as listened to the beat forgetting that Jason was with me, I pull up my sleeve and take out my razor. As the song began to play I started to carve each letter of Luna's name into my right arm.
