"You said something dumb again, she's mad. At least that's what they say..."

3rd Person Pov:

Y/n watched the clock from her desk as time went by slow, but people always said that watching something makes it go by slower.

She got impatient for that there were still 2 minutes left of the shitty class she was in, she turned to her friend Genises to see what she was doing.

"The fuck?" Y/n whisper shouted.

"What?"

"Isn't this like your 4th boyfriend this semester?!"

"No, maybe.. Fine yes, but Y/n just because I have tinder doesn't mean shit."

"Still, look Gen. It's ok to admit you're a hoe-" She laughed.

"Oh shut up asshole!" She threw part of an eraser at her, the girls looked up to the front of the class and saw that the teacher didn't hear them talking, thank god.

Going back to minding her own business Y/n fittled with the hole in her jeans, wanting to make it bigger than it already was but then remembered how her alcoholic mother was about ripped jean's for some reason.

Getting distracted by that the bell rung, as soon as she heard it ring she stopped what she was doing and grabbed her backpack and headed for the classroom door.

"Y/n?" A voice behind her called before she left, the teacher Mrs. Roberts gestured her to come over to her desk. Y/n rolled her eyes slightly going over to her after everyone had left.

"Yes Mrs. Roberts?.." she said innocently.

"Are things going on at home? Drugs, alcohol-" she paused, "Abuse?"

"N-No.. none of that is happening-" she smiled slightly.

"Ok, and everything is going fine without your dad?"

"Look I don't want to talk about this, I need to go."

"Y/n wait-" she ignored the teacher and went to her locker swinging it open, "Y/n you ok?" Genises asked her, except Y/n was in her own mind right now.

Her brain flooding with the night before and remembering the night with her dad dying, "Y/n?.." she said one more time before getting her attention. "Y-Yeah? I'm fine.." she said while getting out some books and putting them in her bag and walking off.

Genises followed her to the exit of the building, Y/n had stopped and she didn't know why. Genises went to see why and saw Y/n staring at her phone, "Your mom isn't it?.." she asked.

Y/n nodded putting her phone back in her pocket and left without her friend, Genises knew it was best that if Y/n was quiet and sudden about something especially if it came to her mom, it was better to be left behind.

Y/n walked, but dreaded about going home, she didn't want to. She wanted to come home to a "Hey Y/n, how was school?" Like it used to be.

But it was no longer like that, instead it was either being yelled or screamed at for something that wasn't even her problem or a few hits.

She went to unlock the front door, just to figure out it wasn't even locked. Opening the door the smell of beer and any other alcoholic beverages covered the house, walking in she kicked an empty bottle not realizing it until after the fact.

She looked around the room she was in for it to be empty, starting to go upstairs she heard a "Y/n.." behind her.

She turned around to see her mom, "Where have you been?" She could tell by her moms tone that she was hungover, "School.. like usual-" Y/n said as she tried walking up the stairs again until she felt her moms hand grab her arm bringing her back to her almost making her trip with the actions.

"And what did you do at school?" Her mom said saying it with almost force making her smell the beer that coated her mouth, "Nothing, just regular everyday school-" not realizing what happened until after it happened Y/n was on the floor holding her mouth looking up at her mom at the corner of her eye as she walked away in to the other room.

Y/n got up and grabbed her backpack running up to her room and locked the door taking in a deep breath trying so hard not to scream, she was never a liar, Y/n was always someone to tell the truth about anything, at least until her mother suddenly became an alcoholic after her dads death.

"If you say a goddamn word about any of this it won't be good for either of us understand!?" Is what she remembers when this all started to happen. And when people, kids at school, or teachers asked about how she was or home she lied. Y/n grabbed her phone from her back pocket and unlocked it to see that Genises had texted her not to long ago.

Gen:

Everything ok?

Yeah, it's fine

K, well I found out that me and my family are going on vacation.

What? When?

Tomorrow..

You're kidding?
Right?..

No..

How long did you know about this?

I just found out, and we'll be gone for 2 weeks

Gen for the love of god, find a reason to stay behind. You know I need you

It's not that easy when it comes to them, theres no point.

:/

I have to go, I'll talk to you tomorrow when I get there ok?

Fine, love you

Love you too, asshole

She put her phone to the side and sat on the floor leaned up against the bedroom door with her head in her lap, almost curled in to a ball. Y/n reached only one arm out for her bag and grabbed a red sharpie and pulled her sleeve up and took the cap off and wrote on her arm.

"Mom and daddy aren't in love"

"No one ever listens"

"Everyone thinks were perfect"

"He's still dead when you're done with the bottle"

"I'm tired of being careful"

"Wish we could turn back time"

"I'm a goner"

"I care what you think"

"Stay with me, no"

"Sahlo Folina"

"I wanna stop time"

"I'm tired"

"Sometimes quiet is violent"

"Now I just sit in silence"

"A kitchen sink to you, is not a kitchen sink to me"

"Faith is to be awake, and to be awake is for us to think, and for us to think is to be alive and I will try with every rythm to come across like I am dying to let you know you need to try and think.."

"Stay alive" No.. actually, cross that one. But maybe that'll change throughout time.
