I wake up with dried saliva around my mouth and my face feeling matte from the tears. My stomach rumbles loudly, which automatically gives me a reminder of what happened last night.

The energy I have in myself is zero, but I need to go to school. I don't want to, but it would be better to get away from here. Looking over my bedside table and the time reads '11:43am'.

Shit.

I'm nearly late to school by 3 hours and Colin didn't even wake me up. Definitely not the best butler.

I rush to get dressed and make myself presentable enough for school after taking a nice shower. If I'm late might as well take my time.

A knock on the door startled me as I wash brushing my hair into a high ponytail. "Miss Blair. Are you awake now?" The voice of Colin became apparent. "Your father is getting worried. He knows you haven't left for school."

Worried my ass. That's the least thing he'll feel for me.

I stay silent, not wanting to speak to Colin. Somehow I'm going to sneak out of this place so father still thinks I'm in my room but that's quite impossible when you have security every corner of the house and cctv cameras in each angle.

Trying to make little sound as possible I get ready for school and apply minimal makeup. Concealer to cover the dark circles, bronzer to define the my bone structure, mascara and a thick coat of lipgloss.

Our house is constructed a bit weird.

Once you enter the drive way it goes down hill, and underground. So when your enter our house, your actually underground. But there's another floor below that... I've never actually been there since it's fathers office.

So when you go up the stairs and to the level where my room is, that's actually near the ground. If I went to my balcony, I could probably touch the grass if stretch my legs. And there's two more floors above me which is the problem. Most of the security guards are above my room. So it would be difficult to come out. And my balcony is pretty high—it covers my whole body but there's a little gap on the side that I for sure can fit in if I squeeze.

I pace back and forth my room. "Wait.. that's it!" I say to myself as I figured out what to do to get rid of the security guards, and I mean all of them—even including the once's in the cctv room.

Pull the trigger.

Not a gun you dumbass, the fire alarm. They'll all have to evacuate from the front until father instructs them. Getting all my things ready before pulling the trigger and making my way out the balcony. Immediately the front is empty and I jump off slowly before rushing out towards the gap of the gate.

The gap I made when I was little so I can run off and play with the other kids without father knowing. What a time.

I'm finally out of the premises but I could hear the alarm blaring as I walk down. I take my headphones out my bag and connect it to my phone before playing some music to distract me.

Before heading to school I decided to go to the mall and buy myself something to eat for breakfast, after shopping around to see if there any nice clothes for me to get. Since I'm by myself I just quickly went inside McDonald's and brought the egg McMuffin, without the bacon of course.

It was delicious.

I've never had something that good, Marisol our chef usually makes me breakfast and sometimes it's nice but I'm so bored of it, it's too healthy but father put me on a strict diet after the accident. There are times where I order her to make me breakfast like chocolate pancakes which father absolutely despises.

I checked the time on my phone and it read 02:35pm. What! No way I've been roaming around the mall for that long... there's literally no point of going to school. I roll my eyes to myself before getting my belongings and making my way home.

"Blair?" I hear a whiny voice speak up, I turn around to see Dilara.

"Oh Em Gee! Hey D!" I say turning around and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Why are you not in school?"

"Why were you not in school?" She fires back, eyeing my uniform.

"No reason." I say, nodding my head towards her signaling for her to explain herself.

"I walked out of school with—" Dilara stops herself when it comes to mentioning who she left with.

"With?" I ask, getting bored of this conversation already. "Where's Cassie?"

"Cassie's with—" She stops herself again before giving me a weak smile before turning around and leaving me.

What the fuck?

Once I got home, father immediately had a go at me for not coming out of my room when Colin had called for the first time. But I just explained that I left really early for school so I can study. He interrogated me further about what I ate because I'm assuming he can smell the McDonald's on me but as always I just lied and said an egg and avocado salad.

As soon as he dismissed me I go upstairs to go in my room but when I was trying to open it, it was still locked. Fuck, I forgot to unlock it from the indoors. I quickly but sneakily go outside and climb my balcony and enter my room before unlocking it just in case father tries to come in.

I lay flat on my bed before closing my eyes. I've done nothing today but I feel so drained.
