I can't go to sleep tonight. I've tried and tried, but I have a weird feeling.. For the past two nights, I've been having nightmares.. and they've been coming true. Call me crazy but it happened. I dreamt about my grandma getting sick, she did the next day. I dreamt about me cutting, the next day.. I did.

» the next morning «

I woke up at 10:00 this morning, dreading to see what would happen next.

* ding *

My phone screamed, letting me know I have a text. It was Alice, my best friend... well, my only friend.

alice
hey babe

melody
hey.

alice
whats wrong with my Mel? :(

melody
oh.. nothing.

alice
be ready in 15. ill be there in a few.

This is what happened every day. It didn't bother me, because someone actually cared about me. I got my black leggings and my oversized sweatshirt, hiding my scars. I brushed and straightened my dark red/maroon hair. I've been wanting to dye my hair forever, but my parents, being the way they are, won't let me. I fixed my lip ring and was ready in about 5 minutes. I slipped on my combat boots and grabbed my phone.

I waited outside for about 10 minutes, not wanting to run into my parents.. Not that it would even matter because they were up all night drinking.

Finally Alice showed up and I got in. She started driving.

"Girl, you need some girl time with me. And talk about whats bothering you." she said.

"I already told you, nothing is wrong." I told her, even though I knew she wouldnt believe me.

She gave me that 'Really? I know you too well for you to be doing this to me.' look, and I told her everything that has happened over the past couple days.

"Okay. You need to get out of that house. You should move in with me without notifying your parents. Come onn. We can dye our hair togetherrr! You know you want to."

The thing is.. she was right. I wanted to.. And my parents probably wouldn't even know I'm gone. When she metioned getting our hair dyed together, I was all for it. Even though Alice already has dyed her hair over like 100 times already. But, I did need to get out of that house. It brought back more memories than I could handle.

"Fine, fine. Bring me back to the house and I'll pack." I said, agreeing to the deal.
