Happy Chinese New Year peeps. :)

"Don't wash your hair today. You're washing away your luck"
-my mom

Y/N.

"Y/N."

I grumbled

"Y/N"

"Go away" I groaned.

I heard footsteps walk away from my bed for a few seconds.

Suddenly blinding light stabbed my eyeballs.

"Dad!" I hissed as I covered my head with my blanket.

"I'm wondering if I have a vampire for a daughter now... hurry up. Breakfast is getting cold."

"How'd you even get in my apartment..?" I murmured

"It's Halloween. You gave me spare keys Incase you got locked out of your own apartment. You're going to help me put up some decorations"

"Halloween..?"

Man time passes quickly.

I closed my eyes shut.

The past week I couldn't get my mind off that boy.

His blue eyes that hypnotized me.

His smile that melted my heart.

I grinned like a potato as I thought about him.

"God. I have a crush on him" i said

"What? I thought you already have Jake?" My dads voice popped up again

"Go away! Please" I whined

"Okay okay. I'm going" I heard footsteps leave the room and the door creak shut.

I felt my phone vibrate on my nightstand.

I poked my head from my blanket and grabbed my phone.

Jake...

He was calling me.

Guilt returned to me.

I hesitantly answered the call.

"Hey.." I said as I tried my best to hold a happy tone.

"Hey." His voice seemed satisfied and relieved that I answered. "I was wondering if you wanted to come to the Halloween party with me today? It's at Kevin's house."

".."

I didn't want to go.

"Chelsea will be there" he mentioned.

"..."

I stayed silent as I thought about my decision.

"Please?" He begged.

My heart fluttered as I heard his voice.

I could just imagine his eyes looking at me like a puppy who wanted a cuddle.

"Fine" I groaned

"Wear a costume. Thank you. Love you. See you tonight!" He made a kissy noise before hanging up.

Costume?

Hell no who has time for that?

I sighed.

I really needed to tell him.

I needed to tell him about Brad.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

Why does life like to torture me so much?

The bruise around my neck had almost faded away.

It was just slightly yellow green ish now.

It wasn't noticeable.

But my dad had noticed.

I told him that I had gotten dye on my skin and I couldn't get it off.

He obviously hadn't believed me but atleast he didn't yap and try to force it out of me.

I got up from my warm snuggly bed, stumbling the first time.

I walked over to my mirror and stared at the horrid reflection.

My hair was like a spider web.

A little bit of dried drool was on the side of my mouth.

"Dang I'm looking great today!" I said sarcastically to myself before giving myself a pose and a wink.

I laughed at my silliness, but soon the laughter disappeared as I realized how lonely I felt.

Timeskip cuz Cookie is lazy.

I'm sry

My eyes wandered my closet.

It was time to go.

Okay whatever I don't care.

I closed my eyes and spun in a circle.

I'm not weird.

I stopped and grabbed the first thing I touched in the closet.

I opened my eyes.

"Wow. Best random pick I've ever had. This must be my lucky day" I took my favourite hoodie off the hook of the closet and analyzed it.

Okay. Let's get changed and go.

Tonight my costume is going to be myself.

I simply grabbed my phone, opened the app Maps, typed in Kevin's address and started my journey to his house.

At first it seemed like I was almost there, but then it suddenly changed and told me I was going the wrong way.

I almost got run over by a truck as well.

I could remember the driver honking at me repetitively.

I stopped walking and stood still.

"You have reached your destination" the monotonous robotic voice said.

I turned off the app and looked up.

A large house was in front of me.

There were tons of screaming teenagers, couples, people prancing others, people in costumes and people eating.

I entered wearily and immediately searched for either Jake or Chelsea.

When I had first entered the house, a pungent smell of alcohol entered my nostrils.

It made my nose burn from the inside.

My eyes landed on...

Brad.

He sat on the couch with another girl.

They were in a full on kissing session.

Gross.

"Y/N" A familiar voice said.

I turned around to see Jake standing behind me.

Aw adorable.

He's a pirate.

"No costume?" He said with a frown.

The guilt came back.

The pain.

I could feel my eyes dull

A shiver went down my spine.

Everything felt wrong.

"Y/N?"

"Jake..." I mumbled "I need to talk to you."

He looked at me confusingly.

I reached out and grabbed his hand.

I pulled him outside along with me.

We walked until I couldn't hear the sounds of loud teenagers anymore.

"Jake. This is very important. I can't do this anymore. I just can't." I cracked my self.

I knew I was going to cry my eyeballs out.

"Yes?-"

"I'm cheating on you"

Please...I'm sorry. It's for your own good

I could see his eyes widen.

His face go pale.

My heart stopped for a moment.

There was a silence that seemed to never end.

Quiet.

Nothing but quiet.

"Why...?" He whispered as if he couldn't talk any louder.

His eyes darkened.

Tears dripped from his eyes.

"With... with who?" He asked with a pained tone.

I didn't respond.

I couldn't say.

He took a deep breath.

"Well....I hope you're happy with him." He whispered.

He turned his eyes away from mine.

He walked past me back to the direction of the house.

I could tell that he couldn't take another second with my presence.

....

...

..

.

Alone.

Always alone.

I wandered down the street alone.

I didn't know where I was going.

I just wanted to go away from everything.

Darkness surrounded me.

The only source of light were the street lamps that barely even worked.

I slumped down on the nearest bench.

Die.

I want to die.

It would be better for everyone.

I cried.

But no sounds came from me.

I felt liquid drop onto my hand as I cried.

Blood.

More drops of blood hit the palm of my hand.

Shit.

Bloody nose bloody nose.

I quickly tilted my head back.

I felt something strange.

As I was tilting my head back.

My eyes met with a masked man who held a knife right on top of my head

I let out a scream as I fell off the bench and hit the concrete ground.

I felt my knee scrape against the ground.

Oh god!

"Really?? A**hole! I'm f*cking living a nightmare. Thanks for making my day worse! Just kill me I don't give a sh*t!!" I screeched as I let out a groan of frustration.

A numbing but painful feeling hit my knee.

The man lowered the knife.

I cried harder than before now.

"Sorry" A soft voice said.

I recognized that lovely melodic voice!

"You.... Burger man!" I growled with anger.

How could he just run up to me scaring me like that??

"Are you kidding me?? What's wrong with you?? I could've had a heart attack!" I shouted

He bent down.

The street light lamp lit up his body.

His blue mask was beautiful.

He wore black gloves.

His hood was up, but I could still see his brown locks of hair that fell down.

"I... I just... wanted to... scare you?" He said almost as if it was a question more tahn a statement

I sighed.

"I'm a mess. I can't believe you're seeing me like this" I gave myself a short laugh.

It was a pity, disgusted laugh.

I just wanted to disappear.

"Can you walk?"

I attempted to stand up but a pain stabbed at my leg.

"Ah f*ck" I cursed as I dropped back down onto the ground.

Tears ran down my face.

This time I was crying because of a combination of frustration, heart break and amazement at how terrible my life was

He pressed his gloved hand on my back as he rubbed it in circles.

This amazingly... actually sent relaxing feelings over my body.

A calming feeling washed over my negative feelings.

"Let it all out. " He said sweetly "I dont think you look like a mess. You look gorgeous no matter what"

I laughed.

I didn't believe him, but I still felt a bit flustered

Everyone said these stupid things to make you feel better.

"I'll take you to your house." He said

I tried my best to wipe the tears off my eyes.

"Haha... isn't this weird for you? Helping a stranger" I tried my best to stop the tears

"No. I feel fine with it. However, I don't think you feel the same about it"

"Why does it matter? I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually going to kill me. My life is trash. How could it get any worse? Okay.... Sir could you please help me back to my house?" I asked as I forced a smile

He nodded

"Where do you live?"

"(Insert address)"

Yeah he could come to my house and probably steal everything, but what do I have to lose?

He could just kill me right now

He turned around so his back faced me.

"Get on"

After several fail attempts I finally got on him.

He held me tightly so I wouldn't fall.

"Why would you do this for a stranger?" I mumbled as he began to walk

"I don't know. I normally don't care about anyone but myself"

Ha. I wish I could do that.

I wouldn't have to be such an emotional person.

"Thank you sir" I mumbled

A warm feeling gathered in my chest.

"Of course Miss"

"I like your costume by the way. Also sorry I got my nose blood on you" I said with an embarrassed blush on my cheeks

Eyeless Jack.

Nice costume?

Poor girl....

I felt her nuzzle her head on my back.

A shiver went up my neck

I held back the urge to tense up.

How did I end up here?

What am I doing?

"If you kill me I'm going to haunt you in your sleep. I swear to god." she warned

I chuckled.

Sorry...but...I'm going to kill you no matter what
