So this all started from me thinking the song "Runaways" for All Time Low's Future Hearts sounded like Carmilla. Then I to make an entire story surrounding the album. It's a very good album and I tried to adapt it into the story as much as I could.
Here's just a short introduction.
Carmilla sat outside after her mother had finally left her alone. After the night of arguing, she just wanted to get away. She wished she could run away from this place; to never return; to be lost in the stars. If you looked at her home, you would think she would have everything, and she had everything she could want but a mother. Her mother never had time for her and when she did it was just to remind Carmilla that she was a screw up. Carmilla quickly learned how to raise herself in her home, but when she turned eighteen, she couldn't find the power to leave. She felt like she would never make it without her mother, so Carmilla stayed.
When Carmilla was little and tried to be the good kid, she never got a mother's attention. When she was a horrible student, she received attention but not exactly the good kind. She loved finally receiving attention from her only living parent but quickly got over it.
The star that Carmilla just confessed everything to wasn't even a star.
Laura grew up not knowing the world around her. All those happy pills her parents took were just a way to escape the reality that they were living. They would forget that Laura would be outside after saying that it was needed to get her vitamin D. Laura was frequently sun burnt. When Laura stayed at a friend's, she had to call her parents five times before they would finally get her.
When Laura got into the public school system after her mother died from a drug overdose that she thought was just "mommy was sick", she learned what all her parents had been doing. She grew furious, but she couldn't take it out on her father. He was left broken, and Laura was the only one to help every time he fell from his high. He soon started throwing drinking into his mix as well. Before her mother died, he would've hidden everything from Laura keeping her eyes closed to the darkest parts of the world, but now he couldn't as Laura was practically the parent.
Carmilla walked out of the strip club trying to make it look like she was walking out of the store next to it in the strip mall. She just so happened to run into a young woman.
"Watch it," Laura called out.
"I most certainly will watch it," Carmilla flirted.
"Perv," Laura yelled before walking away.
