Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 1- Grace

I added more cuts to my arms and took another Advil, having already snorted all my cocaine.

I turned up Bang Bang (by Green Day) to drown out my parents screaming at each other.

Page texted me for the millionth time.

I shouldered my backpack and walked out of my room.

I was out the front door and about 2 close it when my mom saw.

"Grace, honey,"

"Yeah, mom?" I looked into her disappointed eyes.

"Don't die." I could tell she didn't entirely mean it.

"I won't."

I slammed the door, turned up Fat Lip (Sum 41), and walked to Page's house.

I knocked on her window, removing my headphones.

"Hey, baby." Page greeted me, opening her window so I could crawl through.

"Hey." I kissed her.

She wiped the residue of my black lipstick off of her lips, smearing her own, and smiled.

I looked in the mirror in her bathroom.

I smiled slightly at the sight of the black/dark red lipstick hybrid we'd made.

Page yanked my arms towards her and examined them and the cuts.

"Baby..." She sighed.

"I did try." I said quietly.

"I know you did." She pulled me into a hug.

I stroked her, currently navy blue, hair.
