Party day.

All I want to do is stay in bed and hide, but I know it’s never going to happen. That morning, I tell my dad I’m going for a jog, and I take off. I’m not going on a normal jog, though. I wouldn’t. Instead, I head to the cliffs, running as fast as I can so I can spend a few extra precious moments there. I scurry to the edge of my favorite cliff and let my legs dangle.

The last time I was here, my boys pinned me down and kissed me.

They aren’t mine.

I know it. I know they aren’t mine, but I can’t stop myself from wanting them. I can’t stop myself from wishing that I could somehow have all of them. To most of the world, the idea of dating more than one person at a time probably seems a little crazy and a little dangerous, but to me it’s just the reality I’ve fallen into.

Now, as I sit at the lake and look down at the water, I wonder what I’m going to do tonight. My phone buzzes and I glance at it. I’m always a little surprised when I manage to get service here. I usually have to be standing or sitting right at the edge of the cliffs to be able to get a signal, but that’s where I am. It’s Riley.

HEY, YOU OK?

No, no, no. I’m not okay. Nothing about today is okay. Still, I don’t want Riley to feel worried or sad or scared. She doesn’t need to feel afraid for me.

Totally fine =). Excited for the party tonight!

Riley is supposed to be at home tonight with her aunt. I didn’t invite her to the party. Part of the reason is that I don’t want her to know my dad is stupidly wealthy or that he’s kind of a big deal in some circles, but also, I don’t want my dad to realize that Riley is important to me.

The last time something was important to me, my dad took it away. He takes away everything. It’s his way of controlling me and keeping me demure, but the day is coming when I’ll be able to stand up to him and run away.

My day will come.

It has to.

I have to believe that it will.

COOL. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA WEAR?

I know she’s surprised I haven’t been posting on Rosepetal – the app we all use – lately. I haven’t bothered to do much of anything lately. I haven’t shared pictures of the dress or pictures of my hair. Nothing.

I just haven’t felt very good or very happy about the entire situation.

I’ll send you pics later.

I sent a brief text back, letting her know that she can expect pictures at some point. “Later” in my book means tomorrow, but who knows how I’ll feel then?

I just don’t want to go.

Half an hour passes as I sit and watch the sparkling lake water, but soon it’s time to head back to the house. My dad is going to have a total freaking fit if I’m even the slightest bit late to the house.
