When
you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give
me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel
like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and
people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel
like you can't take anymore
Allison sat on her cot and watched Jill put on her makeup. Allison never wore any; she never brought it to Camp Green Lake.
"What are you doing," Allison asked.
"What does it look like I am doing," Jill spat back.
"Well I am getting a shower," Allison said grabbing her towel, shampoo and extra clothes.
"Cat," X-ray said. "Do you need me to sit outside?"
"Not anymore. They built a shower for the girls."
Let
me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift
you up and fly away with you into the night
Allison finished her shower and walked out all clean as a four hour shower would do. She then bumped into one of the new girls.
"I heard my man gave you a good beating," she said. Allison looked at her. What was she talking about?
"Excuse me," Allison said.
"Red," she said. "He is mine now."
"Well that's nice," Allison said laughing. "You can keep him."
"I intend to," she said walking off.
"This isn't some dating Camp," Allison yelled at her. "This is a juvenile correctional camp."
When
you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're
caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When
hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the
day
Allison walked into the tent and saw all her tent mates looking at her.
"We heard you yelling," Squid said as she sat next to him on the cot.
"The nerve of her," Allison yelled.
"She is just telling the truth," Jill said who sat across from her.
"What,"
"All the girls know here that none of the guys would ever date you," she said.
"Don't you understand this is a correctional camp, you don't 'date' here. You work and dig holes." Allison yelled.
"You should have fun while you're here…"
"Do you think it was fun walking around everyday wondering what guy is going to say stuff to you? Do you think it is fun watching your back every minute hoping someone won't jump out and attack you?" She yelled. "I had it bad here Jill; I was almost raped if it wasn't for my friends here."
"Well maybe you should be more careful," Jill shrugged.
"Be…more," Allison said jumping up and advancing towards Jill. She stood up to and waited for Allison. Btu she was being held back by Squid and X-Ray.
"Let it go Cat," X-Ray said. She shook Squid and X-Ray off and stormed outside.
------------------------------
"Be more careful," Allison said walking around talking to herself. "I have been careful every since I came here."
"No….please….anyone," Allison heard coming from behind the rec room. It sounded like a girl yelling for help. She took off and ran behind the rec room to see two boys attacking a girl. Two boys from B-tent that had attacked her along with Red.
"Hey," Allison yelled. "Leave her alone."
"Yea and what are you going to do Cat," the boy hissed. Allison waked up to him and stood face to face with him.
"I am not afraid of you," she said. "I use to be afraid of the boys here, but not anymore. You boys will not do the same thing to her as you did to me." Allison hit the boy in the face and he fell to the ground. The other boy came at her but she moved out of the way and the boy ran past her.
"Hey what is going on here," she heard X-Ray say. Everyone turned around to see X-ray, Squid, Stanley and Armpit.
"I am out of here," the boy said and they both took off. Allison ran over to the girl ad looked at her.
"Are you ok?" she asked her.
"I am fine…. thanks to you."
'Cause
there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll
breathe again
You'll breath again
