The Darker Side Of Tony Perry
Changes
“Mike, get out of the shower!!” I yelled at my twin brother. I hated being late for school and he knew it. This was the same routine every morning, I swear all he does is stand in there just to wind me up.
“I'm in the shower!!”his voice called back. Letting out a frustrated groan at his bare faced lie, I headed back into my room. The time read 7:45am. That gives me 15 minutes. Damn you Michael. As I got ready & started my make up I saw Mike stood in my doorway all ready. “Claire hurry, we're going to be late.”
“Screw you.” I replied before flipping him off. He started laughing & walked off.

“Claire Fuentes, if you turn around one more time you are out of this lesson” yelled my physics teacher as I was caught once again trying to talk to someone in class. I swear he picked on me. I'm almost convinced he does.
I was trying to grab the attention of none other than Tony Perry. He had been my boyfriend for a year. Everyone adored our relationship, I know that sounds big headed but they do.
“Tony, we need to talk.”I heard Mike say after lesson. They both walked away from me, good job I'm a good lip reader. I grinned with excitement as I read their lips. Why was I so excited? Prom was a month away & it was going to be perfect!
There's one thing you should all know about me, I suffer from depression. I have self-harmed, I sometimes still do. I drink a lot & I do minor drugs.

“You know I love you right?”Tony stopped in the middle of us walking home.
“Of course I do, I love you too.”I smiled at him. He was making me nervous. Was he breaking up with me? Was I not good enough for him?
“Good.”his smile weak as he kissed my forehead. What on earth had gotten into him? He was acting strange. He was usually all bouncy and happy, especially on Thursday's. Thursday was our movie night, we'd curl up on his bed, watch movies, eat popcorn, joke around before eventually falling asleep.
“Go pick a film, I'll be up in a minute.”he whispered as we walked into his house. Damn it Tony, cheer up. He pulled out his phone and rang someone. Probably one of the guys. I picked out his favourite Star Wars movie, then Toy Story. I wanted to cheer him up and this was the way to do it.
Or so I thought. The entire time, he was looking nervous, kept checking his phone. I was getting pretty fed up, I had assignments to do and I would rather be doing them. “I'm going to go home Tone.” I got up off the bed, throwing my hair up.
“Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.” Well if that wasn't weird, I don't know what is. Sighing I picked up my bag & headed out.
“See you at school tomorrow. Love you Tone.”He was engrossed with his phone. I made sure the door slammed as I left his house. I lived a distance from him so I called Vic to collect me.
“Can you...No, I'm jus....Vic just pick me up damn it!” I shouted down the phone before putting it down. He was always protective. I sat myself down on the curb, looking back & up at the house. He hadn't even noticed yet. Was he bored of me? Was I too clingy? I blinked back the few tears that were eager to fall.

“Oh you're home. This isn't like you.”called Mike as his eyes flickered from the television for a second.
“Tired I guess.” I lied. Truth is, I felt worthless. I was going to and sit in my room and figure out why Tony wasn't interested in me anymore. “Is there any food left?”
“Yeah, top shelf. We saved you some kiddo.”smiled Vic as he ruffled my hair. I smiled, running into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, I suddenly lost my appetite. A thing I hadn't had in just over a year.
you don't need to eat, you're fat enough.
Closing the fridge, I wandered back into the living area. It was only 7:45. “I'm going to bed. Night guys. love you both.”
“Love you too, sweet dreams.”both said in unison. Where are our parents you ask? On some business trip in Europe. We never abused this, Vic never allowed it. As soon as I reached my room, I headed for the 'secret' place in my closet. Smiling as I opened it, I grabbed a bottle of vodka, my needle/syringe, my drugs, my blade.
Tony didn't need me, Tony didn't want me.
I didn't want me, I didn't need me.
