Today is Sunday, and I am recovering from a massive hangover while hanging out with Nina, Hanna, Tia, and Jackson. No one has heard from Danny, but I could honestly care less. I don't remember a lot from yesterday, but I do remember Danny and I getting into a huge drunken argument.

Maybe he didn't mean exactly what he said, but those had to be some statements that he thought deep down. Right?

"I called Danny like one hundred times, he didn't answer, it went straight to voicemail." Nina spoke sitting down with her burrito bowl. We were currently at chipotle.

"I even went to his house, rung the doorbell, and knocked on the door before us all meeting at your house Rose. There was no answer there either. You would've at least expected for his parents to be home." Jackson added in.

Silence filled the air.

"Welp, I'm still stuck on how Rose turned into the incredible hulk on that boy. She said POW and I swear I saw his eyes roll to the back of his head." Tia laughed. Everyone else let out a chuckle as well.

"Don't forget the dramatic 'I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Jackson said trying to imitate me.

I rolled my eyes.

"It's all over social media too, someone recorded it." Hanna said while taking a sip out of her drink.

"I bet." I responded while looking out of the window. I guess that's what I'm going to be known for around school now. The girl that punched drunk Danny in the face, and told him that she was going to kill him.

"I just hope he's okay. I had to drive him home because he was way too out of it to drive. I mean I handed him over to his parents. They didn't even question the blood they knew something went wrong. I tried to say he got into a fight, not mentioning your name at all Rose, but they were just glad I took him home, and handled it from there." Nina spoke.

"Maybe he's upset with himself from taking it too far."

"He's probably suffering from a black eye."

"Maybe he's-"

"Guys can you all just stop!" I shout not only grabbing their attention, but the whole restaurants attention as well. Everyone looked at me as if I'm crazy.

"Danny is fine, okay? Just drop it! Lets stop worrying about 'little sweet Danny' and realize that he was the biggest asshole to me yesterday, and deserved everything he got from me." I finished, anger was rising inside of me.

I sighed heavily trying to calm down, and looked down at the table.

"Rose.." Hanna spoke softly.

"Yes Hanna?" I spoke while still looking down at the table.

"What did Danny mean by, 'mental illnesses do run in your family'?"

I didn't respond at first. I have the choice between telling them that I have no clue, or the actual truth.

I looked up at them looking at me with concern.

"I had an older sister, Bella, she had schizophrenia, and committed suicide." I said quietly at the end while looking back down at the table.

Everyone continued to be silent.

I wasn't really expecting anyone to say anything, it's a hard and touchy subject. And I think the worst thing to say is that I was scared of my own sister.

I still have dreams of her chasing me around the house, even trying to kill me.

"Michael is going to get you!" She screamed while running after me.

I turned a sharp corner falling on the ground.

"Leave me alone Bella! He's not real! You're just imagining everything!" I heard my little 5 year old voice cry.

"Rose get up! Get up Rose get up!" I heard Andrew scream. We were having a play date at his house, I don't know how Bella got in.

Before I could move, I felt a body get on top of me, and hands wrap around my neck.

"I have to do this before he does. I'm sorry Rose, I'm sorry Rose."

Andrew was screaming in the background, and eventually came up to Bella hitting her with his tiny hands.

I was suffocating, and seeing different colors. This was it.

Out of nowhere, Bella's hands released from my throat, and I coughed harshly while trying to breathe as well.

"What were you doing!?" I heard Andrew's mom cry to Bella while holding her back from underneath her arms.

I came back into reality, only to find a tear slowly running down my face. I wiped it away.

"I'm so sorry Rose.." Nina spoke. Everyone said the same thing.

I'm sorry too.

When we got back to my house, we all parted ways. To end my night, I sat in the kitchen and made cookies.

I like the cookies to not be too mushy, but to have a little crunch to them on the outside, and be soft on the inside.

I sat down on a stool at the island, and began to dip my warm and fresh new cookies in milk.

They tasted absolutely delicious, and they're exactly what I need at this moment.

After a couple of minutes passed, my mom walked into the kitchen.

"You should've made me some." She joked while walking to the fridge.

I took a sip of my milk, and then set it down.

"There's more on the pan if you want." I responded while beginning to pick up another cookie.

She shook her head no.

When she poured herself a glass of tea that she made yesterday, she walked over to me, and leaned against the island.

I knew she wanted to talk to me about something.

"I talked to the neighbors a couple doors down today."

"That's nice." I said beginning to finish the rest of my cookies. My mom sighed.

"They told me that they saw you running from Blaire a couple of days ago, seemed as if you were crying, and he was screaming after you."

I placed the cookie that I had in my hand back down on the plate. I looked at my mom.

"I can explai-"

"No Rose, you can't explain. I don't want you hanging around that kid anymore. Do you understand me?"

"Mom yes I can explain! Blaire suffers from mental disabilities he can't control himself, he was upset with me because I snuck into his house. And he delivered all of those Roses to me because he was sorry."

"Snuck into his house?! Mental illnesses? Now you're definitely not able to see him again." My mom spoke standing up straight beginning to walk out of the kitchen. I stood up from my stool following her.

"Why? He takes new medication now, he's able to control himself-"

"-and he's crazy!" My mom shouted.

"So was your daughter but that didn't stop you and dad both from keeping her in the house with me and that stupid caretaker while you guys were at work!"

"Watch your mouth!"

"No I'm not!" I shout back.

"What's going on?!" My dad questions while coming out of their room. I looked at my mom.

"Just forget it, both of you were not THERE half of the time to understand what I understand." I began to walk up the stairs, and eventually passed my mom and my dad.

When I got to my doorway, my mom spoke.

"I'm just trying to protect you Rose!"

I stood in my doorway, holding the door. I looked at her once again.

"No you're not! The only thing you know how to protect is yourself from traumatizing experiences. You can't protect me, and you never did!"

With that, I slammed my door and locked it.

I walked over to my bed, and fell on it closing my eyes. I don't know how I fell asleep, but I did.

I woke up to it still being dark outside. I looked to the side at my clock to see what time it is, and it's 1:15am.

I wiped my eyes, and got up from my bed heading to my dresser to grab bedclothes, and then to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for bed.

Once that was over and done with, I turned my lights off and started walking to my bed, but then I realized that my blinds were open.

I walked over to the window to close them, but soon recognized Blaire outside walking into his house.

However, I realized there was something in his hand.

A bat.

Why would anyone be outside in the wee hours of the morning, along with having a bat with them?

Maybe he thought someone was outside of his house, or trying to break in.

I shook the thought off, and closed the blinds.
