Chapter 3- Mercedes

Fucking birds

The worst part of living in a house instead of an apartment is the noise the birds make with the roof tiles. I mean, it seems like they're having a football game on my roof!

And to make everything even better I'm with this massive headache from last night.
I almost regret drinking THAT much yesterday. I just don't regret it relaxed me really much. I was needing that

I got up and almost fell back onto bed. I really need to remember to get out of the bed slowly instead of getting out of it like my life depends on it

Whatever

Today I'm gonna have lunch with Sam. He's a really nice friend. I'd say that, besides Quinn, I wouldn't make it without him. He is always on my side. Always. He understands me so easily and he can make me laugh with is oddly good impressions. That why he's my best friend. I met him in my sophomore year in high school. He's a year younger than me so he was in is freshmen year. Since Q and I were cheerleaders and he was on football team we used to attend to the same parties. So we started hanging out and became friends. We even tried dating, but there really wasn't chemistry between us. We are great friends, but we aren't each other's soulmates.

People say I'm a person who can have all the friends I want. They say I'm really easy to hang out or talk with. They say that because I'm nice, funny and modest. But the truth is I don't have many friends. Just Quinn, Sam, Mike and Tina.

I met Mike at Julliard. We went to dance classes together and quickly became friends. Then he introduced to Tina, his girlfriend for 3 years now. I really admire them. I hope one day I can find my one true love... just like them

It's because... since Thomas I can't bring myself to date anyone new. He really hurt me. I spent 1 year with a guy that treated me like complete shit. He beat the crap out of me. And I used makeup to cover it. Every single time. It wasn't until one day he almost threw me of the stairs that I went to Quinn's place. Crying. She held me and didn't pressure me to say anything. We stayed like that in what seemed like hours until I gained courage enough to confess I was in an abusive relationship. She was used to hear me complain on how he never called me sweet names or how he was cheating on me with the girl from the bakery across the street. She always told me to dump him, but I just couldn't. I was afraid. I am afraid. Afraid to never find real love again. Afraid to find someone even worse than him and never be able to get rid of it. But when Quinn finally heard my confession, she turned into a lion. Literally. I had NEVER ever seen her like that. Yes, I saw her being a bit mean with some people back then in high school, and I saw her getting into some physical fights, but I never saw her get her car keys so quickly, drive until my apartment, pack my bags, and beat Thomas in the head with a chair, like she did that day. I remember he fainted after that and Quinn took me by my hand and drove me to her apartment. I stayed there until I found a really good house that I bought. Since it was too big, I called Quinn to live with me, and now we're living together in this house for 1 year.

About Thomas, we called the police a week later I dumped him, you know, to give time to the bruise in his head heal so that he couldn't make a complain about me, and I confessed everything he's done.

Now he's in jail. 

But sometimes is like I can remember him shouting at me...

"BRITT"

It's just so real. Like he's right here...

"BRITTANY" I spooned around to face Quinn

"Fuck, Q! Now my head hurts even worse..." Quinn didn't care about it tho. She was worried. You could see it all over her face
