"Why can't you just be normal"
Miara was always messed up. At just seven Miara's mother died with an incurable disease. Her sister left her to go with her boyfriend to college when she was 12 and her father was an workaholic and was very neglectful...
After talking to Katelyn, Miara goes back to her room and falls asleep. The next day is a chilly Friday and Katelyn tells Miara that she'll have to go to school on Monday. She isn't happy at all about this. She knows that just because she almost died they aren't going to stop bullying her. In fact she knew it was going to get worse. Regardless, Miara gets up and changes from her hoodie which is pretty much her pyjamas.

She goes into the bathroom to do her makeup. She starts with putting concealer under her eyes. Then she does her brows lightly and puts on some eyeliner on. Lastly, she puts on a burgundy lipstick to finish the look. Miara looks at herself in a mirror in Katelyn's room since Katelyn wouldn't let her have her own in case she broke it. Or maybe it's because she's too scared in case Miara doesn't like what she sees. Miara walks back into her room and sits on the edge of her bed, playing her bass. A buzzing noise comes from her phone on her bedside table. She leans over the bed to see what it is. She suspects it's probably Lola or Lilith texting her about school. She turns on her phone and notices that it's from an unknown number.
???: Hey baby
Miara is a bit creeped out by this as she know Reuben wouldn't text something as forward as that.
"It's probably someone who has the wrong number, isn't it?" She says to herself.
Before she can reply she gets another text.
???: Why was such a pretty girl like you in hospital?
"Shit shit shit," She mumbles as she reads the message for the hundredth time. This couldn't of been a random stranger or they wouldn't of known she was in hospital. Miara really starts to panic now. She stands up, still looking at her phone. She stumbles into the kitchen where Katelyn is making a fruit salad for her and Miara.
"Kate, look at this," She says, giving her phone over to Katelyn. Katelyn reads the message and all the colour drains from her face.
"Uh, is this one of you friends pulling a prank or something?" She asks, "Or maybe it's some creep trying to scare a poor 15 year old?"
"I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!" She snaps. Miara snaps at people before she has had her pills. She grabs the glass of water that Katelyn had sat out for her and grabs a handful of her pills.
"M, are you supposed to be taking that many pills at once?" Her sister asks softly, trying to not be patronizing or too much of a mother.
"I don't know nor do I care!" She mumbles as she takes them with her water.
"Well I hardly want you to overdose, do I now?" She sighes.
"Should I just block them?" Miara asks to change the subject.
"Yeah, that would probably be the best option for now," Katelyn tells her whilst picking up her car keys, "I'm going to work now, you sure you'll be okay?"
