Alice

They were nice boys, cute too, but overall nice.

Now I was in my room waiting for sleep to overtake me. Now that I was out of the box my bed was intensely desirable. The starchy sheets engulfed me and I drifted of to the best place in the world.

My house was shining in the summer sun and the flowers were in full bloom. Inside there was a full cooked meal that dad had made. He was back in the kitchen getting some plates when I heard a loud smashing of glass.

Dad?! I yelled.

He was crying on the floor surrounded in a heap of wine bottle shards and wine.

Stay away from me! I was better, it's your fault. The family's falling apart because of you!

He yelled on and on and each word hit harder than the last.

Dad! I'm sorry, please! I fell to my knees years streaming down my face.

Dad? He was gone now. Only empty whiteness.

I was back in my room. Another broken dream, twisted into a nightmare. They were all the same. Someone yelling at me for being a freak and ruining things. I should be used to it by now, but it still hurts.

I needed to clean my face before someone questioned the tear marks leading up to my eyes.

I knocked on the door for exit access and kept my head down heading to the bathrooms. It was dark since one of the lights had gone out last week when Jenny tried to break it. Now there was two lights, and even in their dim light you could see my face was a mess.

I washed it all of leaving my face fresh and wet and headed back out. The guard tonight was Molly. She was pretty easy going and if you played your cards right she'd give you special privelleges. She was sitting with Tania who was two rooms down from me, talking over things.

Alice, why don't you sit with us? Molly asked.

I thought about it for a second, but they weren't the best of people to befriend in this place. There had been rumors that Molly sold just that. I don't think she'd risk this job for her drug dealer one, but then again druggies are pushers.

Um... I think I'd rather go back to bed. I'm kinda sleepy still just needed to go use the bathroom real quick. I manage to get through the lie without stuttering.

Your loss girl. She said as she sunk back down with Tania.

I entered my room again and say in the desk chair that I moved to be by the window. I looked out. All I wanted was to go. Nowhere specific, just to leave and be free, but there was things I had to convince them of to be let go.

H-hello world... I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, there was a lot of moving I had to do for a garage sale we had today. Btw it was a bust. I was gonna use the money to buy myself a bed frame because I don't currently have one, but I didn't sell anything. I hope you enjoyed and there will be more to come. Love you guys!
