Esme

********

I'm sick and I'm tired too

I can admit, I am not fireproof

********

ember and I watched tv for a little bit before we headed off to bed but I know I probably won't be getting any sleep tonight cause I have too much on my mind and I don't want to have nightmares either

"goodnight es" I hear Ember whisper and she pulls the covers over her head, I smile lightly and I turn my back to her, "night em" I whisper and I stare at the wall not wanting to go to sleep and I start to feel the thoughts creep into my head

your mothers right Essie.

I keep my eyes on the wall to the bathroom and I stare into each line of the wood thinkings the bad thoughts about myself and the words my mother always said to me growing up

try a salad es, throw up your food es

I shuffle onto my back and I look at the ceiling staring into space hoping to forget, Esme- stop fucking eat you pig!

Esme go to your room, no food for today. Esme I'm sending you away, you need to loose weight

I try to close my eyes because a nightmare would be better than hearing these thoughts, I close my eyes and I feel my body fall asleep but my minds awake of course, I hear the small snores of Ember next to me and I feel envy as she falls asleep getting to rest her mind and I don't

I stay up for what feels like an eternity and I take a breath and I sit up feeling sick to my stomach, I haven't stopped thinking

I take my phone off the nightstand and I look at the time, 4:12 am, I haven't slept in what feels like forever, I stand up slowly from the bed and I tip toe to the door of her bedroom trying not to wake her, I throw on a hoodie that was laying on the floor and I leave the plaid green shorts I had on, I leave my hair in the messy bun it was in and I close the door to the bedroom behind me

I tip toe to the front door and I see Louis's sleeping body on the couch and I see a blanket covering his body, I turn and I grab the keys to embers car, hopefully she won't be mad if I steal it for a couple of hours, she doesn't wake up till like 10 anyways

I start the car and I drive to my favorite place to get away, the beach, I drive down to the local beach which is only ten minutes away and I see the sunrise just barely start to come up and it calms me in the littlest way

theres no one on the roads and It makes me speed up not caring if I crash or not into something at this point, I speed down the roads and I pull into the beach's parking lot, theres maybe only two cars here and I know it's the people who like to run along it in the morning
