She flicked the light on, the turquoise walls catching the glow of her bright yellow hoodie. She slowly approached the mirror, seeing a face she hated on the dulled surface. Bags under the eyes, freckles everywhere, a round face, spots , dark blonde eyebrows and mellow grey/blue eyes. Her pale skin was flushed in distaste as she cringed, cringing harder at the yellowy teeth, the thin, chapped lips. Her face used to light up rooms with killer grins,now with a single step through a threshold she would cast a stray cloud of darkness. Her neck was itching from the straw feeling ,shoulder length dark blonde hair that sat on her too broad shoulders, stray wisps nearing the curves on her chest.She sighed , removing her shirt to find a black bra and a lot of scratches.

She silently prayed to the darkness that a heart attack would take her in her sleep. Her cat jumped off of the bed and sauntered out the door, leaving the girl to the darkness of her mind
