"That was horrible!" I exclaimed as soon as we stepped out of the movie theater. "I am never sleeping again, oh my god." 

We had just watched a horror movie... because that was Aria's idea of fun. I shuttered, just thinking of all the horrible and creepy scenes.

"Taylor, you didn't even watch half of it! You had your eyes buried in your hands!" Aria said, laughing. 

"Still," I crossed my arms before breaking into a smile. 

She laughed as we climbed into my car, "You love meeee." 

"That I do," I said, grinning. 

After dropping her off at her house, I returned to my apartment, taking a deep breath. Meredith greeted me at the door, hungry for her dinner. I did a quick check of all the closests before relaxing. That horror movie had scared me to death... but... it had made me forget about everything else. 

I ate dinner, scrolling through twitter and stalking fans. I attempted to ignore the hate messages as well as I could. I went on to Instagram and started liking and commenting on fans' pictures, grinning when I read about them flipping out. I loved my fans. They kept my head above water. I would give everything to my fans if I could. 

But would they really want you if they knew? The voice in my head said and my scars burned, a constant reminder that I wasn't that strong person they thought they knew. No one loves a girl with scars. The voice continued, pressing in on me. I took a shaky breath and set my fork down, walking into my music room.

I grabbed my guitar and started strumming melodies and putting some messy words together. 

"The drought was the very worst... all the flowers we'd grown together died of thirst..." I stucks words together, wondering if they would make sense. And to a certain point they did. 

"When I was drowning that's when I could finally breathe," I belted out, tears streaming down my face as I realized the harsh truthness of the statement. "I think I'm finally clean..." I looked down at my wrists, the scars mocking me. Maybe one day I would finally be clean. 

Just not today.

HEY SO I DECIDED TO CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS AGAIN BECAUSE I DESPERATELY WANT THE END TO COME ALSO I FIGURED OUT SOMETHING TO DO THAT WILL CONNECT THE LAST PARTS TOGETHER EEE
