Red. Yellow. Screaming. Coughing. Crying. Sleeping. The events of last night replayed in my mind over and over. I couldn't shake the images. I wanted to sleep but I needed a distraction. I decided to take a quick shower and put on some night clothes I had been given. I grabbed my iPod- the one thing I idiotically still had- and turned up the volume to Panic. The one thing that I hoped could cheer me up. While listening to the music playing in my ears, I slowly drifted to sleep, ignoring the fact that my iPod just died. I needed sleep. I needed my mind to be clear or at least somewhat clear so I could function at my new school tomorrow. I couldn't believe that in a matter of hours, my life changed completely around, because of a stupid mistake. 
But I learned my lesson. And I learned it the hard way.
1.	You can't rely on people and,
2.	Just accept reality, it's easier than trying to believe something that's not really there.
