the next day, lia felt like liquid death when she woke up. the effects of having nothing on her stomach and also knowing she was going to see 2 people she did not want to see today, lia did not want to get up.

she did though, because Jacob would have beat her flat ass if she didn't go to school. the 30 absences stared at him every time he opened his email.

the entire way to school, lia drowned out the world with music.

Apocolypse- cigarettes after sex
Sharing all your secrets with each other; Since you were kids sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you, Clutched in your fist

I think I'm lost again- chase Atlantic
I'm so sick and tired; Of feeling sick and tired
it's not easy, yeah

somewhere only we know- Keane
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

she will be loved- maroon 5
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls, yeah

lovers rock- tv girl
Because love can burn like a cigarette
And leave you alone with nothing

while she drowned out the sirens and tires moving on the road, lia kept thinking about the day before. she had made herself throw up. she wasn't surprised, she knew it was coming. but at least today she felt skinny.

meeting Ellie was terrible. not because she was mean, Ellie was actually incredibly nice. but it was just terrible because she was even more perfect in real life.

right away lia noticed a bruise on ellies shoulder that was slightly being hidden by her sweater, and lia was reminded of her time with Joshua.

"joshua! it was nothing! he is just sitting next to me! its not like we have a choice! you know that teacher assigned seats!" 10th-grade lorelei yelled at her boyfriend, who was very mad about lia sitting next to a boy in English class.

"SHUT UP WHORE!" Joshua exclaimed, turning back to his girlfriend who was holding back tears. Joshuah's anger boiled and rose in him, as he turned around and desperately looked for something to throw. next to him on a side table, he found the vase of roses he had gotten for lorelei only hours before.

he grasped it fast and threw it, not looking to where it landed.

it was aimed right at lia. the vase broke on the contact of her chest, cutting right on her collar bone. the initial impact also left a bruise, and the thorns of the roses tore microscopic cuts all over her chest, which they would all end up getting larger and scabbing up.

lorelei squealed at the sudden pain, Joshua turned around to see her lightly crying and trying to clean up the mess. he felt bad about hurting her, so he helped.

that was one of the first times he hurt her. the feeling of shame left him more and more every time he hurt her until it became intentional.


later, lia was emailing her manager.

hey, I actually have all of the songs planned out and finished being written, all I need is to actually perform the instrumental.

sweet! send me the lyrics + music plans and we'll schedule it!

boy x- tate mcrae
Don't do that stupid thing with your eyes, unless you mean it
When you get bored, like you always do
Tell me that you'll let her go before you look for someone new

matilda- harry styles
Matilda, you talk of the pain like it's all alright
But I know that you feel like a piece of you's dead inside

the cut that always bleeds- conan gray
To say you loved me all along
And kissed the bruises 'til they're gone
Bittersweet, 'cause I can't breathe
Inside your arms





Liz speaks
sorry for doing this to yall. but at least, new music! this time an album.
and I'm sorry, I will start making more triplets & lia content, I just wanted you guys to get to know lorelei and her emotions first.

I'm literally writing this as the sun rises I'm so cool.
