The next day came by pretty fast, in just the open of an eye had Gaby remembered that she had to attend another day of school. Groaning, hitting the mattress, and then getting up to look at herself at the mirror.
"Why do I look like a zombie, disgusting."
If you're wondering how she looked, her eyes looked as if it were too heavy to stay at a spot. Her face looked super messy - stained mascara all the way from her eyes to the bottom of her cheek. Her face looked as if she had starved for the past three months, which meant she wasn't in good shape.
"Gosh, I shouldn't have watched that movie yesterday now I look like a freak."
throwback to last night..
"I love you, Jack."
"No...don't say your goodbyes, Rose. Don't you give up. Don't do it"
"I'm so cold."
"NO NO NO!!! JACK NO JACK DON'T DIE YOU BITCH I SAID DON'T DIE. WHAT THE FREAK IS WRONG WITH YOU JACK NO JACK"
Yes. Yes you read it right. Gaby watching Titanic for the billionth time. It has always been her favourite movie, a classic. She first watched Titanic when she was three, which was what her father told her. He said that she brought a blanket to the television during that scene when Rose was holding onto Jack on the boat, which looked freezing cold. Gaby was such a pure, innocent little child.
As she grew up, she understood Titanic even more, the meaning behind it, how it was filmed, it's real history. Now at eighteen years old she practically knew everything about it.
Gaby was also a romance fanatic. People did not know this about her, but she always went to the library to borrow some romance books, and she had a book wishlist with her. Despite her always looking like a badass, rude, goth girl, she was also a bookworm underneath.
"BITCH BITCH BITCH YOU LET HIM DIE? ROSE HONEY DON'T CRY YOU BITCH WHY'D YOU DIE OH MY FUCKING GOSH."
end of flashback
"Ah. Okay well that was stupid." She looked at herself in the mirror, in her winnie the pooh pyjamas, and sighed.
"Well, time to get ready then."
That day was August 15th.

She came out of the closet, with her hair tied up in a side ponytail, wearing a violet coloured crop top, paired with long, dark purple cargo pants. Then, she took the silver necklace which had a simple crown pendant and brought it around her neck. Along with some white barrettes to accompany her hair and some white vans.
For makeup, she simply put a mini glam but dark look. "Hmm. Not bad today."
Grabbing her backpack, she strolled out of the house, and walked towards a brand new, hopefully tolerable day., only to see Alex frantically waving at her across the road.
"Gaby! Gaby!" She heard that small voice call her name. The girl crossed the road, looking left and right to make sure she was safe.
"Hello Alex!"
"Hol' up. Why do your eyes look so puffy?"
"Oh you know I just watched-"
"Sweetie! Without me?!"
Gaby chuckled as she then listened to Alex's ramble about how he saw this guy on Instagram the other night and how they started talking. Until someone bumped into them, resulting in both of them falling on their butts.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't see you there. I'm so sorry I'm so clumsy please forgive me.. I- I- Are- are you okay? I'm so sorry come I'll help you u-"
At that moment, Gaby lifted her head up and took a good look at the apologising person, while still being on the rough ground.
I swear to god it was so quiet that even Alex got uncomfortable with the tensity in the air.
"You."
