Hello Wattpaders!!! I really like the stories on Wattpad and thought I should write my own. Please read this story and tell me what you think.

Prologue

I woke up to the sound of the floorboards creaking. I froze. My first thought was I’m too young to die! I mentally slapped myself. I’m such a loser for even thinking that. A hand covered my mouth to stop my scream. I’m not going to lie, I nearly shit my pants. Whoever it was, I knew they had been drinking, I could smell the alcohol rolling off their clothes. Was this how victims felt before they were murdered?

I was just about to throw a punch when my sister’s head came into view.

“You could have told me it was you instead of creeping around like a murderer,” I whisper-shouted at her.

She smiled. “Well where’s the fun in that?”

She ruffled my hair like I was a little puppy dog and headed towards the door.

“Is it too much to ask for you to stop doing that? I save your ass every week, you could at least stop treating me like a child.” I scowled.

“You are a child Alexis,” she chuckled. “Goodnight.”

“I think you mean ‘Good day ‘its 3 in the morning. And I’m nearly 17 if you haven’t realised, “I said angrily.

She laughed and stuck her tongue out at me as she stepped out of the room. That only pissed me off more. I chucked a pillow at her retreating form but she closed the door just in time so I ended up hitting my bedroom door.

My older sister, Amanda, wakes me up every Sunday morning on her way back from a party. Usually she smells like alcohol or vomit. I don’t know why she sneaks out every Saturday just to destroy that body of her’s with alcohol. I sigh. Only one more month until she’s leaving for college.

I mean, I love my sister, don’t get me wrong. She’s family and all but sometimes she’s just too much. My parents know it, my grandparents know it and practically the whole school knows it. Yep, you guessed right, my sister was the Head Cheerleader at our school, Atlanta Falls High (not a real high school). Its summer, so she goes out practically every day. I hardly see her or anyone at home anymore.

With their busy jobs-Mum is a lawyer and Dad is an entrepreneur- they only come home at dinner time and leave early in the morning. I fall asleep again thinking about my sad and lonely life.

****************************

I was in a deep sleep when I felt someone pinch my face. I opened my eyes and there was my wonderful sister -note the sarcasm.

"Why the hell are you waking me up at 8 on a Sunday?" I tried to cover my face with my pillow but stopped when I heard my sister clicking around on my laptop. I stopped trying to cover my face. "And how are you up so early when you've only had," I looked at my alarm clock,"5 hours of sleep?"

"Hey, its not like I want to be in your room,its smells like misery and lonliness by the way, I was just using your computer." She said.

"And why are you using mine when you have your own?" I pointed out.

"Mine froze when I was on Facebook" she said with a shrug, like it wasn't her fault. "Anyways, I was logging in but then I noticed your Search History.
