Scar & Lil-Book 1. Halloween Downfall. Chapter 5
Hey guys! Sorry it's taken me so long to write this chapter. Personal difficulties with someone a character is based upon made me question whether to continue this story. Again I'm really sorry! Hope you all had a good Christmas, new year and Easter! <3 Tilly xx
Well I know where I am now. As I wake up in the car after hours of driving all I see is road, long endless road. The sudden realization that we are virtually free of everything hits me. Free of parents, ex boyfriends, sluts from school and school itself. That was when I realize how much our lives have changed in just the span of 24 hours. We can't go back or our lives are over. If we go forward our lives are unknown. Will we survive? Where will we live? Do we need to change our names? What if there are photos of us posted around, we'll be recognized!
"So where are we Lil?" I say sitting up, rubbing my eyes and trying to tame my bed head. "We're just outside Vegas." She says, flicking a cigarette butt out of the window. "When we get there we need to find hair dye. We need to change our image." I say, looking into the mirror at my waist length strawberry blonde hair. I know the perfect way to become unrecognizable. "What colors?" I hear Lil ask, seeming excited at the thought of re-inventing herself. "Well I think you should go platinum blonde." I say, her big blue eyes and dainty features look strange with her straight black hair. "You think I could pull it off?" She asks, twirling some hair around her fingers. "Definitely" I nod. "Sweet! What color for you?" She asks, I've got it all planned out but want it to be a surprise for her. "Wait and see, you're gonna LOVE it!" I giggle, resting my head against the window looking out in to the distance to see nothing but sand, rocks and weeds.
Once we hit Vegas we find a motel and check in under Violet and Rose Dawson (Lilly is a die-hard fan of Titanic and insisted on that name) the clerk looked a bit skeptical at first but didn't ask any questions, I guess its because everyone uses aliases in Vegas. The motel room wasn't as luxurious as Lilly had hoped. But I liked the rough feel of the room. It hit home to our situation. This wasn't a holiday, this is our life now...
After we settled in we began our makeovers. Dying our hair in the cramped bathroom was difficult. I stood in the small shower with a curtain that offered little privacy. "Can you please show me now!?!" Lilly wined at me. "In a second I'm almost done rinsing it Rose" I say using her faux name hoping to humor her a while longer. "Oh shush Violet! You do realize that not only are we both named after flowers but you've chosen a color? From Scarlett to Violet. Tres original darling!" she giggles, ripping the curtain back. The exact look on her face I was hoping for. I turn of the water and reach for my towel. "I know. I didn't think purple hair would suit me so I stuck to my namesake." I smiled as she gingerly touched my blood red hair. "Holy shit... Not very inconspicuous but very sexy! I love it!" Subtly fanning out her own hair she waits for my judgment on her own color. "See I told you! You're a perfect blonde!" I say, pulling my hair back into a ponytail...
