Product Information

I hold my pillow tighter against my ears as the sound of our once loved fine china gets thrown against the walls of the home I used to adore. I need moonshine," I tell him strongly. I decide against crossing my arms, figuring it'd make me look less like a cool person.

His dark brown hair lays floppily on his head and his long eyelashes cast a shadow over his cheekbones. There's smoke that travels from one of the figures and it wraps all throughout the rest of the tattoos on his arm.Can I help you?" he mumbles like he doesn't really want to help me. I'm sure that's not very good for Grey's business. My room is my only escape. I don't want it to become a place for her to take out her frustration like the kitchen.

He pushed me lightly into the bathroom, following behind me and shutting the door. I'm not even worried anymore, if he wanted to kill me, he would've already done it. Plus, I could take him in a fight. He grasps my forearm and I nearly faint when his skin touches mine. Why am I like this? Am I having a mid-life crisis? I walk away from his desk, a satisfied smile on my lips. I have a seat on my designated little comfy chair and I pull out my book. He leads me to the reading space around the corner and I just notice Mr. Terrip rolling his chair over to where he can see us. He makes me laugh. I smooth out the skirt of my dress and watch as his eyes follow my movement. As soon as my hands let go of my dress, his eyes fall on mine.

Azalea, oh honey," her eyes fill with concern and I silently thank God that she's sober and not my father. I don't even have an ID and I'm not twenty-one, what am I trying to get away with here? I look seven years old. Due to my slower pace a walking, a trait I've had since I was able to walk, the group of people soon catch up to me. The night surrounding us prevents me from seeing exactly what he looks like but I can feel his gaze on me. My ID is in my wig that I left a home," I blurt out and internally remind myself to punch myself in the face later.
