Ashley,
The way you're eyes light up, the way you smile at me, the way you whisper in my ear. Love has never felt so far away as when you are not here.

-Tay
I couldn't help but crying. Just imagining him, sitting there, writing that. I needed him like water, to survive.
We got to my "house" after a few days of long, endless driving. Josh helped me take things to "my room". It would never compare to tay's house, my real room.
Then it hit me.
In about a month he was leaving, travelling. THat line he wrote... was that a...? Was it for me...? I started bawling.
I found a knife, saying I was taking it to my room to help me do a cross stich they gave me scissors. I took them to my room, and sat on my bed. I slowly took the blade of the scissors and ran it arcross the top of my skin on my wrist. If I couldn't be with Tay, I didn't want to be with anyone. I did it agian, but this time harder, and again, but this time, I actully cut the skin. Right then, Josh walked in.
I sat at the principal's office of a fancy ass private school. Josh and Mary, my foster mom, thought it would be a good idea to send me to a private school. I think they didn't want me to cut myself again. I didn't care. I was going back to Tulsa, anyway I could.
"St. Bernedets is a great school, and we would be honored to include Ashley as one of our students." the fat old principal said. I looked at the wrist, and I saw the whitness of the gause, and the fuzziness of my tears. I hated life more than anything.
The next day I woke up, and I streached. I put on my UNIFORM! I had NEVER had to wear one before, adn I truly didn't want to start. Josh drove me, and I walked into the school all alone.
"How'd you do it? I mean, with what?" she asked, pointing to my wrist. I looked.
"Scissors. So, what's your name anyway?" I said. SHe smiled. "She" being this girl I met in French.
"Destiny, Des for short. And you?"
"Ashley,"
"Why'd you do it?"
"I wanna go back home"
"Oh. So, where'd you come from?"
"Oklahoma, I'm going back, soon."
"How?"
"Any way possible. Hey, I can drive in like, two months. Wanna take a little... "road trip"?" We smiled together and she nodded.
"Hell yeah! Where in Oklahoma? The city?"
"Naw," I started, "Tulsa. It'll always be my only home."
