(The picture is what her arm looks like except more fresh ones and no tattoo)

The second I walk through my front door, I am tackled by my dog Savo. He's is a Brindle Boxer. My parents got him for me a few years back. Right before my self harm had started. He was a birthday present. I pet him a little till he gets off of me and follows me into the kitchen.

I pour some food into his bowl then walk out of the room and up the stairs to my bedroom. My walls are a deep purple with fairy lights hanging from the ceiling. The wall that my head board for my beds against it, has many, many posters. They are mostly bands but a few from shows and stuff. Those include: My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Bring Me The Horizon, Mayday Parade, Pierce The Veil, Black Veil Brides, Supernatural, Danisnotonfire & Amazing Phil, and lastly a One Direction poster that my friend gave to me as a joke one year. I keep it up because you know, why not?

I throw my bag down onto the bed and pull out my laptop. I open up twitter which I mainly use to follow band members and post art. Nothing exciting happens in my life to tweet about. I hardly leave the house. Plus, it's not like anybody actually cares.

After ten minutes of mindlessly scrolling, my phone rings in my bag. I pull it out and see that Gabby, my best friend, is calling me. I answer with a simple "hi" and she gets right to explaining why she called.

"Hey I was wondering, are you doing anything tonight?"

I shake my head then realize that she can't see me so I say "umm no, why?"

"We decided to have a super small party tonight. It's gonna be after the graduation ceremony. We are all meeting up at Jake's house. It'll be our normal crew plus, his cousin Rob who is visiting."

"I think I'm good. I'm gonna stay home."

"Oh hunny, I wasn't asking; I was telling you. I'll pick you up at your house after the ceremony. Wear something cute like that long sleeve black lace dress I gave you last year for Christmas. I gotta go and start getting ready now. I'll see you in two hours when we are officially graduates of something other than kindergarten. Love you! Bye!" and with that she hung up and I flopped on my bed with a groan. I stayed like that for a good ten minutes when I decided to get up and get ready for the ceremony. Before I got ready though, I put my phone on the speakers in my room and put it on shuffle. The first song was "This aint a scene, it's a god damn arms race" by Fall Out Boy.

I pulled on a white dress that goes down to my knees and put on white heels. They were only three inches. The dress wasn't long sleeved so I put my black cardigan over it. I let my long brown hair flow down my back and I pulled my cap and gown out of the back of my closet. The cap and gown themselves were a deep blue and the tassel was white. I pulled the gown on and pulled out bobby pins for the cap. After ten minutes of getting frustrated with it, my mom came in and helped me. When did she get home? "hey mom. When did you get home?"

"I just came in. I figured you would be getting ready so I wanted to see if you needed any help. Turns out my motherly instinct was correct." She said to me with a smile. She took a few steps back and examined me. "Honey, you look beautiful! Oh please let me do your makeup? Just one last time while I still have my baby?" I groaned and sat down in the chair in front of my mirror and my mom squealed. She looked so proud of herself.

Fifteen minutes later and she was done. I looked at my face and actually thought she did a good job. I thanked her and hugged her before following her out of my room and down the stairs where my dad was waiting for me with open arms.

"Awe my beautiful baby girl is no longer a baby anymore" he said while pulling me into him. We hugged for about thirty second before we pulled away and my mom started taking pictures of me. My parents and Gabby's parents were good friends so we were all meeting at her house to get some before pictures. We got in the car and was at Gabby's house in a minute due to the fact that she lived down the street from me.

When I got out of the car she came running out of the house and jumped into my arms. I heard the clicking of a camera and saw that my mom had taken a picture of us. Gabby hopped down and we walked over to a tree which we always took pictures in front of. When we were going to concerts, we took pictures there. For her sweet sixteen, we took pictures there. When she went to prom, she took pictures there with her date and I. She'll probably have a few wedding photos taken there, assuming her parents still have that house by the time she gets married.

We took pictures for at least half an hour. We were doing the most random things. Gabby is the only one besides Mr. Donavan and our friend Jake, to know to full extent of my life. She helps me though everything. I'm happiest when with her.

Now we are on our way to graduation. It's being held in the auditorium at my school. Gabby and I took her car while the parents rode separately. She was really excited about the party tonight. She told me more about Jake's cousin Rob too. Apparently he's like 21.

Soon we are outside the school and we go in, holding hands, ready to leave this hell hole behind forever.
