Before I turn the lights out

   My best friend is asleep in bed next to me. She's had a hard day. It's not my place to say what happened, but I will say that she didn't deserve it. All 17 years of it.
   I am going to talk to my mom tomorrow and see if we can take her in. At least for a while. If I had it my way she would stay here and never go back. This would be her home, next to me. In my tiny freaking bed. I just want her to know that she is safe.
   Tonight was a good one, though the day was rough. I talked to Chuck about life for the first time in a long time. It was nice to just talk to him. Christina and I edited pictures together and she managed to stay awake for the first 20 minutes of 'Thirteen'.
   Now I sort of just feel like drinking a mt. dew and crying forever. I'm going to try and get some sleep instead.
 
   Goodnight, Christina. I love you.
