A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home

Lou's POV

I woke up ten minutes ago. Two of those minutes I spent sitting on the couch with Lela licking my face. One of them I spent trying to find out where I was. Seven minutes I spent trying to find Daniel.

My head is killing me and Daniel isn't here. He's gone and I'm not allowed to go into one specific room in his apartment so I'm not gonna go in there. I'm surprised that I remember that.

I head into the kitchen and begin to find some Advil or something I can take for my headache. When I open the second cabinet I find it. I grab a glass from off the counter and examine it closely.

I rinse it out in the sink, then pour fresh water from the fridge in it. I down the pill on my second try. I hate pills. I remember every time at Cassidy's when I was sick or in pain I would have to take a pill.

"Breathe, take a big gulp of water and you can swallow it. It's not that big Lou!" She smiles and I laugh spitting out water. We're only fourteen and I'm messed up in the head. It's kinda big...

I cackled.

I miss her. Just the smallest things can remind you of your past. Lela barks from the couch wanting me to pull her off of it. I grab her off then look at my phone on the coffee table.

"7:21?" I say, "well that's a first." I put the phone in my pocket and realize these aren't my clothes either. These sweats are Daniel's and this shirt isn't mine either.

I feel scratches at my leg and look down at Lela. She's so cute. I scratch my nails behind her ear. I watch as she barks and walks over to her leash that's hanging by the main door.

"Mmm, I don't know girl Daniel would yell at me," I say and Lela begins to whine.

"Okay okay just give me a minute," I smile like I'm talking to a person. I lay my phone back down as I untie the sweatpants and change into my back shorts.

I leave Daniel's shirt on and tie up my doc martens. I really hope Daniel doesn't catch us. I slip my phone in my pocket then put Lela's leash on her. We walk out the door and I turn right to see the door leading to the outside.

"Woah there!" I slip almost falling on the ground but catching myself on the door behind me. Lela is walking fast and pulling me along. The ground is wet from the rain last night. It's August and it's raining? I gotta admit this is probably my favorite weather.

No rain but dew on the ground. The sidewalks painted with water and the sky filled with fog. It's refreshing and reassuring. A moment in between the real storm and the burning sun.

I follow Lela stopping not far when she turns to pee in the bushes. It's lonely and quit over here. No one insight. Probably because it's still early. The sun is rising and the clouds are shifting. When Lela's done I realize that I never actually brought out a bag for number two but she didn't go so an a plus for me.

Which gets me thinking, college starts soon. We have another week left and then it starts on Monday. That means this upcoming Friday there will be another party...how fun.

I try to open the door that we exited out of but I forgot my key. Well technically my key is still in my room, Kayla is probably still asleep and now I have to wait for Daniel to get back.
