It was halloween. Everyone had to wear costumes in the diner. I didn't have a costume. Rose let me borrow her clothes though and she put on some make up on me and I'm done. It was fun seeing the little kids all dressed up. They looked so cute. I just hated the fact that the skirt I was wearing was making me uncomfortable because it's really short and I didn't like it when people stare at me.

I wanted to go home so around 8:30 pm, I lied that I was feeling sick and I needed to go home. I told Rose and she said she won't be home until tomorrow because she'll sleep at her friend's house. That made me sad but it's her life so she gets to decide whatever she wants.

I walked home even though it was freezing cold. I reached the building and ran up the stairs because the elevator wasn't working and that's when I realized, I did not fucking bring my keys with me this morning. Rose has the extra key but I could not go back to the diner and freeze to death. I cursed and told myself that I was stupid.

Standing in front of the door of my old apartment was weird so I sat down instead and I could feel the coldness in my legs and it sucked. I'm wearing a tank top and a short freaking shirt for fuck's sake. I knew I should have brought my hoodie with me. All I have is my box of cigarettes and a lighter. It's been months since I first smoked and now I can't seem to stop. I lit one and took a long drag before closing my eyes.
