(Cole)

I fixed my hair in the mirror and just put some water in it. I could see my black roots starting to come in making my hair look black and blonde. I didn't care anymore, but I thought I looked good with the blonde hair; not to mention it makes it easier to figure out the difference between Blaze and I.

Heading out of the bathroom and heading back into my room, I flicked the light off and walked over to my bed. I made sure my bed was made first before getting my stuff and getting ready to leave. I like having clean space and being organized, it's kinda therapeutic to me. Retrieving my phone off of its charger I checked to see if I had any new notifications, and sure enough I had a few texts from Hayden.

She was just asking me if I could pick her up and what are we gonna do soon. God this Girl doesn't give up! Matter of fact she's actually not needed anymore. I have another idea in mind but I'll keep her around for just in case...

Pulling into an empty parking space and placing my car in park, I reached into into the arm rest and grabbed a blunt and my lighter. I had a little plastic baggy with rolled up blunts already and all I had to do was light em up, which is what I did.

I titled my head back onto the seat rest and lit the blunt before inhaling. I always thank myself for getting tinted windows just so I can do whatever I wanted in peace and not have to worry about anyone looking.

Letting the smoke exhale through my nose and mouth I just closed my eyes for a bit and tried to relax. After my dream I had last night I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle today without being stressed out. This was basically my only coping tool as of right now. However I do have pills I take if my anxiety takes over too much but I just try not to take those because they make me feel bad and gives me headaches. But it's hard not stressing out when you have nightmares about the same thing every day and having to face your stupid brother who caused this whole thing. He walks around all fine and plays victim and I was tired of it. He's put me through depression, I now have anxiety because of him and occasionally insomnia. He's put me through so much shit then wonders why I get so irritated with him.

My body was cooling off and I felt my anger rising. Just the thought of him made me so upset and angry. He just..he's gonna Get what he deserves pretty soon and I can't wait.

Exiting my car and finishing up the blunt, I tossed whatever little bud I had left onto some grass and just walked towards the building. I dabbed a few dudes as I made my way there. Not gonna lie but the dudes here are pretty cool and I've made a few friends but I'm just scared Blaze is gonna fuck it up just when everything is going good. I try not to think like that because he wasn't always like that. But he's changed and now I don't know what to expect from him.

Speaking of him, I saw him running up to Alexis across from the parking lot. She just kept walking off from him and he was trying to catch up to her. She finally turned around and he stopped, but she said something to him and I saw his facial expression. He seemed confused about something. She tried to walk off but he grabbed her. But to my surprise she pulled away and ran inside of the building. He just stood there where she left him and stormed off somewhere.
