THE FIGHT WITH Kara is so stupid, so passive, and yet, I still don’t talk to her for the rest of the day. She drops me off at home with a less than stellar goodbye, and I trudge inside, staring at my muddy shoes. This time, I take them off on the rubber mat, staring at my rainbow painting on the wall. I hate it today and consider tearing it down, tossing it right out into the snow to rot, but I know that without it, the wall will look too bare.

I strip off my clothes, not even bothering to put on pajamas. I crawl into bed in just my underclothes and clutch my pillow, letting it soak up the tears that find their way free every few minutes. After our argument, my self-hatred is unnaturally strong ,and I wish I could fall asleep just to have a couple of hours where I won’t have to think about it. Instead, I lay in the darkness of my room, phone beside my head.

I pick it up and squint against the light as I read the screen. There’s no messages, but I hadn’t expected there to be. With a groan, I toss my phone to the floor and get up. I go to the bathroom and pull out my bottle of sleeping pills from the cabinet. I stare at the bottle for a long moment with a sigh. If there’s one thing I hate, it’s taking these. It’s not natural, but every once in a while, like today, I find that I have no other choice. I pop one of the pills into my mouth and swallow it down along with all of my reservations. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I’m asleep.
