The Only Exception.

FOUR.

Marvelle woke up to the sound of the song Let's Make This Moment A Crime by The Format, still playing on the loud speaker.

She opened her eyes, and the sunlight coming in from the window blinded her, making her wince. She found herself sleeping on the floor next to her cans of paint.

About a minute later, she felt a sharp shooting pain on her head. Her eyes wandered and spotted 2 empty bottles of alchol not too far away. Of course. It's hangover.

"Oh fuck." she said with a groan.

Another groan came out from her mouth as she tried sitting up. She looked at the window, wondering what time is it. She then rembered her phone that she threw across the room yesterday. Marvelle started crawling to the other side of room to get it. She picked it up, hoping it was still working. No luck. Maybe she threw it too hard yesterday, because it won't open, it's officially broken. She sighed.

"Shit." she cursed under her breath.

She helps herself on her feet and she made her way to the bathroom across the hallway.

She caught a glimpse of her reflection on the mirror and she rolled her eyes. Her arms, torso, and some parts of her face was covered with smudges of paint. Her was head still pounding with pain, so she quickly opened the medicine cabinet and searched for some aspirin. Lucky for her she still have too left, so she popped them to her mouth.

"Note to self: Buy aspirin"

She opened the faucet and started washing her arms. Scrubing it with her hands. For a splitsecond, she found herself staring at the scars on both of her wrists. Which is now covered with tattoos. A quote that says "Lost but Found" on the right and a cassette tape on the other. She shook her head, trying to forget about it.

Now she really regrets breaking her phone. She wished she could just call Hayley or Jeremy right now.

"Faster Tay" Hayley tells Taylor who was the one carrying the pizza the just bought a couple of minutes ago.

"God. Pizzas in New York smells so good!" said Taylor as he tries to catch up to Hayley and Jeremy. Hayley chuckled.

Hayley, Jeremy, and Taylor all lived in Tenessee, but after hearing what happened to Band Of Misfits, they decided to fly to New York, just to check how Marvelle is doing. Now they're waking down the sidewalk, on their way to Marvelle's apartment, just a block away.

Hayley looked at Jeremy and he was looking like he's lost deep in his thoughts. He's been this way the whole trip here. Barely saying a word.

"You ok J?" asked Hayley.

Jeremy looked at her and tried smiling. He gave her a small nod.

"Yeah. Just worried, I guess."

Hayley nodded. Knowing exactly how Jeremy feels.

"You guys. Its like 8:40 in the morning. Are you sure pizza is good for breakfast?" Taylor asked, just as they got in front of Marvelle's apartment.

"Yeah T, pizza is good for everything." Hayley replied with a shrug.

Taylor chuckled. "You got that right."

Jeremy searched his pockts. Looking for his keys for Marvelle's apartment.

"Woah. J, you have keys to Elle's house?" asked Taylor.

Jeremy gave him small nod, finally finding the key.

"Yeah. Its for her safety. We all know what happened before" He said, after unlocking the door.

They walked in and everything was pretty normal.
