It was dark, cold. I was scared, and so stupid.

Where am I? I've had to of asked myself that countless times over the last while.

So I told myself the only answer I could come up with... I was lost.

---

I gasped, flicking my eyes open instantly. It was just a dream..

It was now mid morning, as I noticed the sun blind me through the curtains of my bedroom. Yawning, I sat up, glancing around my familiar space.

My comforter was inching off my bed, pillows tossed around the bed and floor. My vision blurring to the photo of my brother on my end table, I forced a painful smile at the fading memory.

My bare feet now pressed against the cool flooring, making the hairs stand on my visible skin.

It was a matter of seconds, before I was near the end of the depressing hallway, and near the kitchen.

"You're here." The familiar voice sounding soft, and surprisingly sober.

"And you're awake." I retorted, bitterly. Not bothering to make any further conversation, I continued to walk past.

"Please, Jamie, don't be angry with me. Not now." Her plead was pathetic, and only managed to push me to become aggravated.

I made my way to the fridge, pushing my head inside to find a snack. It was only a mere minute, until I snatched a yogurt, and shutting the fridge door behind me. Not taking attention to the hungover girl watching.

"I know I haven't been the greatest friend lately, and I've been -" "distant, non-responsive, moody, challenging, self-absorbed. Please, stop me, because I can continue." I bit back, slamming the drawer I was currently using shut to dismiss some of the building anger.

Turning, I finally caught glimpse of the slowly breaking girl that now stood before me. In need of a shower, possible mint, and a brush. Some clean clothes, new layer of makeup, and information on the date.

It pained me to see her in such a state. Not just confused of everything around her, but with herself also.

She looked ready to crumble right then and there, unsure of how to respond to my surprising and brutal honesty.

"Yes. All of those, and probably a thousand more." She hugged herself in comfort. "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to have a conversation with you, a proper conversation. I'm sorry that I've become this person you can't look in eye and put trust in anymore-" "that's not true!" I defended in a serious tone.

"Just admit it - it is! I've become another disappointment, you don't need me." She quivered, now shaking and letting the tears spill from her eyes.

I took a deep breath, letting it sink in. She thought I was angry at her.

"I'm not angry with you, just scared for you." I finally spoke.

She gave a small smile, reassuring me everything will be okay. A lie I could see right through.

"Maybe counselling, or some sort of therapy, maybe even an addictions group. Hunter, we can figure this -" "hold on. Rehab! Are you kidding me? I'm not addicted, and I'm not troubled. Why the hell would you even suggest such a stupid idea?"

Feeling my insides twist at her sudden harsh tone, I pushed my hands up in a form of surrender and peace.

"Hunter, I just want you to be okay!" I lightly pressed on.

"You want me to be okay? I am okay! I'm great, terrific even. Don't say I'm the one with all the problems." She threw back, shoving the words down my throat.

Finally, I released my sigh of defeat. "Okay, if that's what you believe, and what you think I'm saying, fine."

I walked passed calmly, leaving her to stand there to think, as I made my own attempt to get dressed.
