Who I am
These past few days have been terrible. It’s what I call a living nightmare. After what Charlie calls "Lucy's mental break down" we had to go to the doctor’s office again. He told us if I don’t go to some sort of support group then he is going to call child services to get me into a mental hospital. So starting next week I will have to be wasting two hours of my day with people who have also been forced to be there one day a week. Then Charlie has had me on this stupid lock down system where he has to be with me at all times and if he is not with me he has to know where I am and what I am doing. At least it is only till he leaves. He even has to stand outside of the bathroom door to make sure I am not secretly hurting myself. But what I really need are some drugs, and I need them bad. Everything hurts, my whole body is just crying out for some sort of relief and I know that my drugs will help with that. Maybe I can sneak away from Charlie for just a little while to go see Dominic, because if I don’t see Dominic, he sooner or later is going to come and find me. Charlie is going to the grocery store in a little bit so maybe just maybe I can convince him to let me stay home so that I can escape to Dominic's place. Just thinking of drugs makes me want to--
"What are you doing in here?" I turn around from my window and see Charlie standing in the middle of my room looking at me like I have broken one of the golden rules, which according to him I probably did.
"Um standing here...in my room. Is that a problem for you?" I say to him. Ugg can’t this "punishment" just stop. "I’m not a little girl Charlie I can be in my room by myself if I want to be" He stares at me. I know that he is thinking whether or not he can trust me; which should be a big fat no but I actually think he is going to agree with me.
"Ok well then you can prove it to me. I am going to the store this afternoon to get some food for the rest of the week and I am going to let you stay here at the house all by yourself. If I find anything out of place when I come back then you can say good bye to everything cause I will tell mom everything that has been going on that she doesn’t know about. I am totally serious. I am not afraid to tell her" Haha I knew it, but I know that he is serious about telling mom everything. Hmmm should I chance it?
"How long will you be gone?" I ask him. He takes a minute to figure it out
