Dawn approached, as I retreated to my room. Slipping through my window, I could already spot an angry older sister. I rolled my eyes, sliding in. My feet touched the ground, my knees bending, I let my fingers graze the ground. I returned to my normal position, upright, arms crossed.

"What were you doing out that late?" She questioned, angrily. I let a smile play on my lips, grabbing my bag from the nighttable and pushing past her. She didn't let it go to rest. "I expect an answer, young lady."

"Oh, I expect your much older?" I shot back, letting a glare go with it. She took a step back, but remained in an attacking position. I retrieved my toothbrush from the third drawer, squirting the green gunk on it. I brought it to my mouth, brushing vigoriously. I could feel her presence still there.

"Where were you?" She persisted the question. I continued to ignore her, staring at my reflection. My black hair, lying loosly on my shoulders, not coming down much beneath my shoulders, my fierce gold eyes glimmering with fury. "Your grounded." I spat my toothpaste out.

"And how will you inforce that?" I inquired, washing my toothbrush and shooting her a toothy, white smile. She eyed me evilly, swirling around leaving.

The doorbell rang, I ran to get it. I swung the door open, letting it bang against the wall. My eyes met his, and I folded my arms. "What the hell do you want?" I asked, my sister elbowed her way past me and grabbed his hand.

"I didn't mean to disturb you this early, Sara." He said, directed towards my sister. I turned on my heals not wishing to see their love fest.

"It's ok," she replied lightly ", I had to deal with my sister, so why are you here?" There was a silence. Deal with me. What was I, a dog?I slammed the door to my room and collapsed in a heep. Why did they have to die? I questioned, silently. I closed my eyes, an unexpected tear trickled down. I wiped it away. Don't be stupid Lea, I told myself. I grabbed the cellphone from the desk. I quickily dialed a number, drawing it to my ear, I let it ring.

"Hello," answered a tired voice.

"Yo, want to go crashing a rave tonight, or something?"; I asked picking at the flaking use-to-be-white walls.

"I wish,"; she said more awake this time ", I'm grounded." I furrowed my eyebrows, not in the mood to ask the rest of the girls.

"Come on, sneak out that has never been a problem before." I suggested, my eyes on some bubble gum across the room. I crawled across, unwrapped it, and popped it in my mouth. Chewing slowly, letting the flavor absorb in to my mouth.

"If it was that easy, I would. They set cameras around my house." She said, with a sigh of hopelessness. Anger welled up in me, I kicked the wall hard. It caved in, leaving a hole to add to my collection.

"Damn it, Kelly. Why are you so rich?" Anger rising in my voice. I knew I wasn't angry at her, I had so many others I could ask. I slapped my cellphone shut, and threw it at the bed. It crashed to the floor. I let out a scream. I heard a door slam, and I knew my sister and that...that..GUY were gone. I glanced outside, the sunrise was almost gone. I yawned, lying down on a rumpled sheet on the floor. My eyes fluttered closed, and I let dreams take me away from reality.

Two hours later, I awoke to my cellphone ring. I swore under my breath, my eyes flying open. Who could be calling me? Ah, don't answer that. I flipped open the machine, holding it to my ear. "Speak."

"Yo, Lea it's Aubrey." Said a nonchalent voice. I sighed dramatically, falling backwards in to bed.

"Hey," I replied in acknowledgemnt. Aubrey and I had just started being friends for a few weeks, we had met at a club. "What's up?"

"You know, want to go raving tonight? I heard you asked Kelly, she gave me a ring." Did I? I didn't know, it was kind of a spotanious thing to call Kelly. I had been out the past following nights, four nights of clubbing in a row. Would one more hurt? Yes. I decided, with a light laugh.

"Sorry, not in the mood. I don't know why I asked her even. But we could do something else?" I half asked and half stated. I could sense a bit of dissapointment, but no one really put there hope on there friends at least no one I knew.

"I might be out raving, but if i'm not i'll check ya downtown." He said, and clicked his phone off. I threw mine at the wall, suprised it wasn't broken yet. My sister walked in to the room, catching it.

"That's it, i'm taking your phone away," she said, I shrugged, jumping on my bed I nudged the window open. Obeying, I climbed out, making a face at my sister. I ran across, the scarce lawn we had. My bare feet hit the side walk, I realized I was in my rave attire from last night. I began my walk, knowing exactly where I should go.

After a few minutes of walking, I came across the woods. I began to sprint in to it. The trees wizzed by, timed seemed to stop and it was me and the ground. A competetion? Anything but. A smile crawled on my face, the only thing that made me happy. Finally, I reached the tree house. I clenched the ladder, and climbed.

At the top, I grabbed my bag, and dumped out the supplies inside. I emptied the trash bags, letting the content crash to the floor. I rumaged among them: CDs, tanktops, halters, one-sleeves, mini-skirts, jeans with stylish vintage holes, and so much more. I picked out a jean mini, and a tiny halter top. I slipped in to it easy, letting my other clothes drop to the floor. I packed the stuff back in to the bags and put them back. I took out my cover up from a small bag next to a cracked mirror. I blotted it over my arms, I knew the cover up from last night would ware. Just incase, I didn't I slid it in to a small purse which I would carry with me in case of emergancy.
