My Reality

I wake up to Wake Up by Suicide Silence. RIP Mitch. I squirm out of bed and take a nice long relaxing shower. When I get out, I wipe the fogged up mirror with my hand. I admire my new hair, doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. I get dressed into my black long sleeve shirt, my baby blue skinny jeans, and my black pair of converse. I do cats eyes for makeup and straighten my hair. I run downstairs to the kitchen, no one's awake, I'm surprised. Oh well, they're probably sleeping in. I grab a coke from the fridge and call Andy.

"Morning beautiful." He says. His voice is still all groggy, it's like he's just woken up. I want to wake up to that voice everyday.

"Morning, do you think you'd be able to pick me up?" I ask.

"Yeah anything for you. Scar do you know what time it is?" He asks.

"No."

"It's almost 6 in the morning, do you usually get up this early?"

"All the time." He chuckles, "Andy, I want to hangout with you and your friends after school."

"I don't think that's such a good idea."

"At least Ashley, please."

"I'll see what I can do. I thought you wanted to keep this a secret."

"Yes, but I have dirt on Purdy."

"Okay I'll try my best, I'll see you in two hours. I love you."

"I love you." I hang up and walk into the living room. It's been awhile since I've watched some morning cartoons.

An hour and a half later, there's a knock on the front door. I grab my backpack and open the door. There's no one here, but there's an envelope. I hesitantly take it and tear it open. There's a letter, it says;


*You think you've one, you think you've gotten rid of me for good, you're kidding yourself. I will get you back for this, unless you do as said. If you meet me Friday at midnight at the place we first met, I will not hurt your friends, your family, you, or your precious little Andy. You must come alone and not tell a soul. If you disobey; I can promise that no one close to you will be safe or alive. The choice is up to you Princess.*



I look around, where could he be? How is he not in jail? I thought they arrested him. I sigh as I read over his rules again. I'm not putting anyone's life at risk, especially Andy's. I slip the letter into my backpack as I see Andy's car arrive at my house. I get into the passenger's seat and he starts driving us to school.

"Your hair!" He says surprised.

"Does it look that bad?" I ask stroking my hands through my locks.

"Are you kidding? You look hot." He says making me blush. "I mean it and I want Friday to be a special night for us if you'll let me." Wait what? Does that mean he wants sex? I don't know whether I'm even ready for sex after what happened. And I can't because of the letter, I'm not putting his life at risk.

We get to the school and I go straight to the music room, for some reason Andy follows.

"Shouldn't you be getting your lesson planned out for today?" I ask as I take my seat. I grab my guitar and start practicing Lost It All.

"No I'd rather hear you play a little." He says sitting down in front of me. "That song sounds so familiar, what is it?"

"Lost It All, Jake's been giving me your music." I say as Jake walks in.

"She's good right?" Jake asks Andy.

"Really good, but you're still better Jake." Andy says.

"What do you expect? I'm not a music teacher, I'm an eighteen year old girl." I say.

"I expect you to beat Jake." Andy says and I shake my head.

"Alright, new song." Jake says placing another sheet of music on my stand.

"Rebel Love Song, nice pick." Andy says. I start playing and mess up quickly.

"I thought I'd give you more of a challenge." Jake says.

"I'll leave you to your practicing." Andy says and leaves the room.

"So when can I expect to have you and Andy over for dinner with me and Ella?" Jake asks.

"Pardon?" I ask. Does he know?

"You know it's kind of obvious that you and Andy are together, so you don't have to hide it in front of me." He says.

"How long have you known?" I ask.

"Do you remember that day you went to Andy's apartment and we all showed up?"

"You've known for that long and didn't say anything?"

"I wanted to see if you two would last long, and you have."

"So you're not going to tell anyone?"

"Of course not, Andy's one of my best friends. If he really does love you, I'm not gonna get in the middle of it."

"Thank you Jake, and I'd love to have dinner with you guys."

Music and math go by quickly. Jinxx ergs me to stay after school to get help on math, but I decline seeing by Friday at midnight, I will disappear. I run around the school and find Alexis at her locker.

"Hey the hair looks even better than last night." She says.

"Thanks, can you do me a favour?" I ask and she nods.

"Can you tell Andy that I'm sorry?"

"Why don't you tell him now?" She asks.

"Because the thing I'm apologizing for won't happen till Friday, really Saturday morning."

"Then when should I tell him?"

"Friday at 11:30pm." She nods in understanding. "Okay I'm gonna get you a date now."

I rush off to the chemistry lab.

"Purdy, why won't you ask Alexis to the formal?" I ask and he looks at me stunned.

"Why would I ask a student to the dance?" He asks.

"Because you're dating her." I say.

"I can assure you that I'm not dating a student."

"So you're just a fuckboy?"

"I'm not a fuckboy, well I am, but I actually like Alexis."

"Then ask her to the dance."

"I can't, I'm a teacher and she's a student."

"May I remind you that the formal is a masquerade ball. Put on a mask, some seniors are gonna spike the punch anyways, so it's not like people are going to remember you dancing with a seventeen year old."

"Okay but how do I know you won't going blabbing this around the school?"

"Because I'm dating Andy."

"You are not, he's dating Juliet."

"Well let's see about that." Ash and I walk to the English room and shut the door. "Andy tell Ashley that we're dating." I say.

"I thought we agreed on not telling people." Andy says.

"It's fine, I have dirt on him." I say.

"What dirt does she have on you?" Andy asks Ashley.

"I'm dating Alexis Hunters, a student at this school." Ash confesses.

"You should take her to the formal, I'm taking Scar." Andy says and kisses my cheek.

"Okay I'll ask her about it." Ash says and leaves the room.

I look up at Andy's eyes. I want to tell him so bad, I want him to help me, but I can't , I can't have the man that I'm in love with dead, not because of me. I'll just pretend that everything is right to make it better, I'll hide my emotions on the inside.

Notes

Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you all that I've summoned the courage to do a cover, it's for the song Makeup Smeared Eyes by Juliet Simms. I'm only posting it if my last tweet was favorited. So if you want to hear me sing, you'll have to go favourite it.
