Chapter 12

I can't even go downstairs cause we all know that I'll end up crying in my room. So no going downstairs. To keep myself occupied for the time being, I get up from the bed and start packing my bag for school tomorrow. It's the second day of school tomorrow and I'm still friend-less if that's even is a word.

"English. Alright. Next? Arts. Ooh okay. Next? Psychology. Alright. Music. Okay." I leave the bag on the table after remembering to pack my planner and my copy of Pride and Prejudice and obviously my schedule. I grab my iPad from the drawer and open the 'books' folder. I came across a fanfiction I have to start reading since the last time I read was yesterday, I had finished a book so today I've got to read a new book. I clicked on a story called, 'Forgotten' and sat back on the headboard of my bed.

I jolt up at the pounding that is surely from my door. Why is there pounding on my door? What time is it? 10:32. How long have I been sleeping? I get out of bed to answer the door.

"Uhh, yes?" I could literally smell whatever the two had drunk. Eww!

"Hello! Can you like, come out so we can- um just move..." the girl slurs. She's drunk. And I'm presuming the boy next to her is her boyfriend? Gosh what is my problem?

"Heyyyy" I'm assuming the boyfriend says and I scrunch my nose in disgust.

"There's um- another room right there..." I had to literally cover my nose and point at Fallon's room. I hope she doesn't mind. I mean, these two are obviously her friends so it shouldn't be a problem. Right?

"Thanks babe!" The boy says aloud and I lift my eyebrows and chuckle and close my door, locking it.

I laugh to myself when I get back to my bed. Teenagers these days are probably worse than college students. Or maybe they're both the same. Forget about the age differences. They both act the same.

I look at the time again. It's 10:48. I decide to have a shower and get ready for bed and continue reading until I fall asleep again or something. Fifteen minutes and I'm out of the bathroom. I change into cotton shorts and a t-shirt and plop back on my bed. I continue reading the fanfiction from where I stopped last.

Twenty minutes later I try to sleep but I can't thanks to the loud noises from downstairs. I sigh and continue to read, having nothing else to do.

Next time remind me not to come home on party nights. This is not going to work if she continues to have random parties with people she doesn't even know. And especially parties on school nights. I'll probably stay at a hotel or something, yeah that'll work.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I snooze the annoying alarm. I feel like it was just two hours ago when I fell asleep. I hit the pillow, irritated that it's already morning and I'm tired and only want to sleep. I hate being like this early in the morning and especially when I have school. I lazily drag myself to the bathroom and shower in the cold water on purpose to get rid of the sleepiness.

"Now what do I wear?" I say to myself looking through the wardrobe.

I pull out a beige top and wear it and then pull up the black jeans up to my waist. I pull the cardigan out from the hanger and put it on and then run my fingers through my hair and use a hair tie to tie up my hair into a ponytail. I grab my bag and slip on to my sneakers. I peak out of my curtain to take a look at the weather. It's not raining, hopefully it'll remain just like this throughout the day.

When I go downstairs I see people passed out on the couches in the living room and some passed out on the single chairs. That position will probably hurt when they get up. I walk into the kitchen and grab two cards of Advil and a jar of water and a few glasses and lay them on the coffee table for all of them and leave the house.
