"MELLLLLLLL" I heard my mother yell from across our apartment.

I groaned and covered my head with my pillow.

"GET YOUR BUBBLE BUTT OUT OF BED OR YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL"

I sighed and kicked my sheets off still laying there, "God DAMN WOMAN" I yelled back to her.

"NO G DAMN!"

"Sorry!" I laughed quietly to myself and rolled my eyes. My mother is my best friend, I honestly don't know what I'd do without her.

I got up from my oh so comfy mattress and started my daily routine. I walked to my bathroom and started to brush my teeth, once I finished I did my usual eyeliner with wings and curled my eyelashes. I don't really straighten my hair unless I want to get dolled up, so I left it in it's normal messy turquoise wavy state.

I looked over myself in the mirror pretty pleased with my appearance and walked back into my room to get dressed. My newborn black kitten Max laying in cat bed with my tortoise shell cat Aurora watched me as I walked back in.

"Hi baby, how did you and momma sleep?" I asked kneeling down and lightly petting the newborn as he let out a soft little meow. I smiled down at him and got up to get dressed. Going through my closet I found my outfit, my black shorts, favorite running wolf tank top, grey thigh high socks, black spiked wedge sneakers, my over sized white cat face fleece sweater and my usual jewelry.

Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! Hi, my name's Melissa and this ladies and gents is the story about my crazy life and how it got completely turned around.

Looking at the time on my iPhone I quickly put it in my back pocket, grabbed my tribal canvas backpack and headed out the door.

"Bye mom, love you!" I yelled at her before leaving.

"BYE LOVE YOU TOO!" My god that woman is loud, but she gave birth to me so I tolerate her.

I plugged in my headphones as I was walking down the sidewalk to school pushing play on Ellie Gouldings Starry Eyed and started to sing with her amazing voice.

"Handle bars, and then I let go
Let go for anyone
Take me in, and throw out
My heart and get a new one

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

So we burst into colors
Colors and carousels
Fall head first
Like paper planes and playground games

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching

Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching
Next thing we're touching

Hit me with lightning

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And everybody knows
Oh, everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes"

I always think of being with that special someone when I listen to this song. I mean, I have Alex and I THOUGHT he was that one since he always told me he loved me but it's pretty fucking hard to believe someone loves you when they say so many hurtful things to you and physically hurt you. I'd leave him if I had a choice, but according to him I have no say in. That and since I'm only 17 I can't run anywhere to get away from him or this place. I know, you're probably thinking I'm a total baby but I've honestly dealt with a lot of shit here. My dad got thrown in jail, my grandmothers nanny used to molest me when I was 7 and I was always bullied for being myself. Sorry I can't be what these people want me to be, I do what I want, dress how I want and listen to what I want.

I just have one problem, ever since I started dating Alex he's been telling me who I can't talk to, where I can't go and what I can and can't do. I used to have a lot of close friends, who were mostly guys, that were like brothers to me. They were like family to me, but he took that all away from me, he scared them off and threatened them saying never to come near me again. He did the same with my best friend Alexx, she was basically like my twin sister, we had more in common than you could imagine and just like my mom, she was always there for me and I was always there for her.

I sighed and frowned thinking about all he's done to me, to my life. 'I just want to be free' I thought to myself as I finally arrived to the hellhole of a school. Thank god this was my last school year and I'm done with it all. I got ugly looks from girls and checked out by some guys, I just rolled my eyes and ignored them. This is always been this same for me for years now, I used to get bullied by the bitch of the school till I finally stood up to her and gave her a taste of her own bitter medicine, so now she just glares as me from a distance while I flip her off.

As I was walking towards my locker I saw a very familiar broad shouldered figure waiting for me, remembering what I had worn today and mumbled 'shit' under my breath. I was in such a good mood this morning thinking about Burn Brights tour and how they were going to be in New York with Black Veil Brides for April(26th being my birthday which means I'll finally be 18 motherfuckers!). I already ordered my tickets for it, the fact that they were going to be there on the month of my birthday in New York, a place I've been DYING to go to made me happy beyond belief! Alex said he'd never take me because it's the city of whores and prudes. I didn't mention to him about the concert though because I knew if I did, he'd have my head on a fucking platter.

Gripping the strap of my backpack, I made my way towards him. "Here goes nothing.." I mumbled to myself.
