As the bus came to a complete stop I shuffled through my bag looking for the old journal. Mable and I stepped off the bus to see Stan, Ford, Wendy, soos. Candy and Grenda. Mable went running to candy and Grenda as I walked up to ford and stan hugging them both. "It's nice to see you kiddo, how have you been?". I fake a smile and say good. Wendy walks up and gives me a small hug she whispers in my ear. " look at you". I blush and walk to the shack with soos we catch up, and he told me he and melony are engaged. We pass the greasy dinner. I see someone new working there. I walk to see the shack just as we left it. I go upstairs to the attic I see my old bed. I start to unpack and tried to get settled in. I hear a knock at the door it was lazy susan. "I heard the pines twins are back we're going to have a small party for them if you want to stop by its all on the house". her voice was muted behind the door. We later go to the dinner I see the new bust boy he looks so familiar He walks up to me and asks if I wanted anything. Before telling him I was pulled away by mable she wanted to dance. I tried to...but wasn't in the mood. I walk away without saying a single word. I walked into the restroom and looked under the stalls to see if anyone was in there I lock the door behind me. I take off my hoodie and look in the mirror the fact that I never wear a shirt under my hoodie did do me any justice in the situation. The blood from my side did not dry and had kept running down my body. I take a cloth and whipe the blood. tears ran down my cheeks from the pain making them puffy and red. I didn't think I cut that deep, guess I did. After cleaning the cut I put my hoodie back on. Someone knocks on the door. " Hey other people need the restroom too can you hurry?!" The voice was muffled behind the door. I wiped the counter clean so there was no visible blood. I unlock the door and walk past the man who knocked. I felt a tug, he pulled me back. " Are you okay?" I look back and see a concerned look on his face. " yeah..."I say looking down. He lets go of me and I walk away. The crowed dinner made it hard to make it to the other side of the room without being stepped on. The sound of laughter danced through the night accompanied by the music that was already playing. The heat from inside was overwhelming, I stepped out for a second. Trying to catch my breath I lean myself against the wall of the dinner. A small breeze came by, it felt nice against my skin. I look around to see if anyone else was out. it's quite dark. I didn't want to stay, so I left, I walked into the woods past the main road back to the shack. I go upstairs and lay on my bed. It felt like the air in my lungs was being sucked out the tight grasps of death felt close and strong I closed my eyes and fell into the deep black space that lay between life and death. I woke up in a dark room no lights no windows I was alone or so I thought. I sat up, I was laying on a bed in the middle of the room. The sound of a zippo was flipping in the background. I was in a haze of pain and peace. The sound grew louder and louder. I tried to stand up but my legs were weak. I must be dreaming. I see a dark figure walk towards me. The sound of a leaky faucet echoed through the room. The cold air around me calmed my nerves.
