Jade , is that you ? A familiar voice says
I look up at the person trying to speak to me and see a blurry figure, considering I have been crying . The red hair.
Dinger
Even though I can't really see and it's unsafe to run on the street. I get up and start bolting back to my house . No one can know.
No one can know I'm broken.
JADE WHAT IS WRONG! This time it sounded like Lainie . I couldn't let them know. I need to go home. I don't care what happens when I get there. But no one can know about my life.
I'm more afraid of being cared for then being yelled at. Because every time I've been cared for it went downhill.
I reach my front door and walk in . To my luck , my dad was passed out on the couch. There isn't any food in the kitchen so I just head upstairs and change into my pajamas and get under my soft covers. The only thing that hugs me tight are my sheets.
September seventh , 1989

For the past couple months I haven't even been focusing on what day it is but I do know that September sixth was yesterday because it was the first day of school. I come to a realization of what today is .
My seventeenth birthday
Eh just another shitty year gone by. No one even knows my birthday. I haven't received anything since my ninth birthday. So it doesn't bother me anymore. When I turned eleven I started a new tradition. Every year I have went to the store to buy myself a cupcake, I sing happy birthday to myself and wish that my life would get better . My wish hasn't been granted yet but hey , maybe this year will be different.
You always gotta have a sprinkle of hope.
At least someone has to care about me . And that's myself.
I get up from my bed and go to my mirror and brush my hair out . After I do everything in a simple morning routine , I throw on a silk blue dress and my blue velvet scrunchie.
On my way out of the house I throw on my slip on vans and a jean jacket. I'm a bit dressed up because that's the only way I feel special on my birthday.

I was outside sitting down with Bobby and Joel. Joel is a psycho but he can be fun to talk to at times.
Hey that new girl is so hot , look at her , I'd totally hit that. Joel says with a smirk on his face, pointing towards Jade .
"No way dude , Dinger has dibs on her " Bobby replies to Joel while slightly smacking his shoulder. See this is why we're best friends.
