My life has changed a lot in a short time. I look around the dimly lit room, and it's nothing like where I used to live. But despite waking up from a scary dream that really shook me, I can't help but smile.I can't remember the details of the nightmare, just that it was scary and I had to struggle to wake up. I can't believe how different my life has become in just a few weeks. I know how I ended up here, but it's hard to grasp how everything has changed so much.That nightmare still bothers me, and I hope it's not true. Usually, I try to forget it, to push it away. It's not like me at all to dwell on these things.Someone has come into my life and transformed me in ways I never expected, and now I hardly recognise myself. Well, that's not entirely true. I see a version of myself that I lost years ago. I wish I could figure out where things are headed, but right now, it feels like I'm losing control of my life.I was happily ensconced in my little routine. I'd go to university, then

Birthday Party (Now)The sound of the alarm wakes me from my deep slumber. I hate work, I hate school, and I hate mornings. Hitting the alarm button, my mind considers just going back to sleep. I look around myself. My life is nothing extraordinary. I live with my roommates, and I spend most of my time either here, at school, or at work. I should be waking up in a hotel right now. Somehow I failed at that this year. Groggily I walk to the shower. I climb in as the water hits my skin. The feeling is fantastic. Today needs to go fast. Tonight, however, needs to go even quicker. I honestly need tomorrow to arrive right now.Getting out of the shower, my feet hit the cold tiles as I wrap the towel around me before I walk through to my bedroom. Getting sorted, I walk out, glancing around the flat; it is quiet. I move to grab food before I embark on walking to university. I don't like driving if it isn't too far. My mind is flying away with every thought running through it.Stepping into u

I chuckle at her face. "Really, Lisa? Aren't you ready yet? I left a note telling you to be ready by eight. Did you miss it?" She rushes over to me, grabs my hands, and pulls me up from the couch."I am ready; look. I don't wear this to school and work, right?" I glance at her. I can't help but wonder what she expected me to wear. I know, but expecting that is crazy."No way, you're dressing up in something nicer than that." She points at my outfit with her finger. She doesn't like it, which isn't surprising. I had a feeling this might happen. I stand there, looking shocked and shaking my head. She just smiles.I don't want to show my body off. I don't want the risk of it. Plus, who is going to be looking at me anyway with her there?"When was the last time you went out? Like, you went out, out, and enjoyed yourself and showed yourself off? Before Kyle. So move it." Walking, she begins to pull me through to the bedroom. She throws open the wardrobe doors. She is rifling through it as

Beatrice turns and smiles at me. "Wow! Who would have thought John's brother would be so hot? I mean, yeah, okay, John isn't bad, but wow, the difference." She is smiling far too much. I certainly have no chance. Not even in hell would I have a chance?"He is. Good luck." I give in, just like that. I know that I won't win, and I won't fight for a guy either, and clearly, I am not ready. The fact is, I don't get why women fight over a guy. I don't understand how a guy can cheat, and instead of being angry at the guy, the women fight over him. Like, he is a perfect man. I, for one, won't fight to win a guy.Grabbing our drinks, we walk back to John and Sean. We walk to a table and sit. I start drinking. I feel so out of place here. Like I am in a place full of people who know each other, and I know no one. On the plus side, there is booze, so I will stay for a few hours and then go home. No doubt Beatrice and John will be here all night."Come dance." Beatrice grabs me. Her hands are pu

My eyes look down over my body. I'm not special. Sitting we talk for a short while, he smiles at me suddenly like he has remembered something. His smile melts my heart; I feel like I want to touch him, kiss him, and I have not felt like this about a guy in years. "Hey, isn't this party and night meant to be for you? Why are you sitting here in a corner looking like Baby?" His voice is soft and cold, and I laugh. I have to; his baby comment is just too funny not to laugh. He is referencing me to Dirty Dancing but has this all wrong. I consider how to explain it. "Well, I would rather stay in the corner. Unlike the baby, she had no choice. Her daddy put her there. Me, I am happy here hiding away. Considering the fact I don't do all this, parties, people and things. I have not done it for years." I watch as something sparks in his eyes, my mind trying to figure out what caused it. "My ideal night is watching TV, and a glass of wine or any alcohol. You can tell that, seeing as I only kn
