2013
Alex grabs my hand and pulls me into her house. She goes straight past her roommate with out a word while I trail along behind her wiping my tear stained cheeks. We go into Alex's beach themed room and she pushes me down on the bed laying down next to me,she pulls the blanket over our heads. I was deeply confused in till she started talking.
"Do u remember when your were little and you used to hide under the blankets away from the monsters? Well this is like that. You can hide away from that hate, away from the pain, away from the bad thoughts, away from the world, Away from the monsters. This is your shelter from the bad and the evil. Your safe haven because just like the monsters the world can't find you". With that she leaves me alone under the Blanket; my head filled with different thoughts.
