Different

Mid-Summers

I realize that people don't know what really goes on inside someone's head, they won't really understand a person. They won't understand.. me.

"I said I don't wanna go! I don't wanna wear a dress and I don't wanna be there!" "Well your going because I said so! Just put on a smile it'll be over soon enough! Now get ready! I am not gonna tell you again Hailey" I just roll my eyes and walk away. I get ready and put on a blue dress, my mom helps style my hair she puts it up in a braided on the sides of my head and then puts the rest of my hair in low bun to throw it all together, then the front pieces she curls them. I gotta admit, I do look amazing. My mom wanted me to wear white heels but since no one can see my feet anyways and I don't even know how to walk in heels and I never will, I decided to put on white socks with my white shoes. I still look amazing though! "Come on Hailey! We're gonna be late get in the car!" My dad calls out. "Coming!" I put on some bracelets and a couple of rings on my hands and then we went off to the mid-summers.

"I don't even know anyone here!" I whisper yell, "well then go make friends! Me and your father with be talking to the Cameron's. Bye darling!" Of course they leave me stranded here. I don't even know anyone! I should just leave I mean they won't even notice I'm gone?
I got up and I got some wine by sneaking it, it was alright but definitely not drinking that again. I've had enough of this stupid party, I decide to walk home. It really wasn't that far and I could use a walk.
Like 40 minutes later I got to my house, I went up to my room and I sat down at my desk with my make-up on it. I don't really use make-up, only when my parents force me to go to party's with them or to cover up the bruises. I take of my make up and it reveals a bruise under my eye, it was dark. It was from last night when my dad was drunk and mad at my for something and then he just.. he just hit. He then broke his empty beer bottle and cut my arm, I don't know if it was purposely or accidental but that shit did hurt. It wasn't a lot of blood but it also wasn't a deep cut so I'm fine but I did clean it up and wrap it around in a white bandage. I took off my dress and undid my hair. I took off my socks and shoes and put on jeans and a black shirt then I put my hair in a low loosely bun. I put on socks and my black converse and grabbed my phone I put it in my back pocket and I put on my grey jacket that was kind of too big but not really. I headed out the door, I wasn't sure wear I was going but I ended up at a cliff. At first I was sitting down but then I go me thinking. What if I just.. jump? It could be painless and I'll most likely wouldn't make it. It's not like I have something to live for? That kook bullshit school. Yeah the girls don't like me, all they do is give me dirty looks and push me around. I push back but I always get in trouble for it. I don't got a good hole life I mean like my parents are drunks and they hit me and they hate me because I'm different.. everyone hates me all because... I'm not into boys. All I hear from those girls at school was "don't get to close to her you might get her disease" or " go kill yourself you faggot!" It's not fair. I didn't ask for this life! Then I started to speak out loud as I got up and stared at the ground. "Maybe I should just kill myself! Like it wouldn't even matter to anyone!" "It would matter to me.." I jumped a little and then I turn around. "You don't even know me..!?" I said to her confused. "Yeah? Well no one should kill themself's" "well no one gives a flying fuck about me so why not?!" "Because I don't want you too kill yourself. I don't want you to jump... please just get away from the edge.." I turn back around and look down. Then I look back around to face her. We're about 5 feet away but those 5 feet become inches, as I backed away from the edge and came closer to her she said, "I'm Kiara, my friends call me kie." "That's a nice name, ...I'm Hailey.. nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too" she gives me a warm smile. As we were walking back down a trail, I say, "hey um.. weren't you at the mid-summers? Cause I think I saw you.." "oh yeah you might've because I was there but I.. I didn't see you though" "yeah, yeah I left.. cause my parents they just like went to go talk to them Cameron so.." "oh... but um Hailey?" "Yeah?" "How did you get that bruise" "oh um! I- ..it doesn't matter.."
She looks so pretty, she's wearing this long lavender dress and her hair to do pretty too and her jewelry. She's just so pretty. She walked me back to my place, she insisted. I waved her goodbye and we went our separate ways. My parents still weren't home. They were still at the mid-summers. I took a shower and then got ready for bed. I put on comfy clothes and got into bed. I won't know why Kiara helped me but she did, nobody ever helps me. I don't know why she did but, all I wanna say is thank you. I probably won't see her again but she made me feel like I'm not completely invisible so that's something.
