Abducted

Home (present)

It's quiet everything is still and peaceful and then all the sudden it's not. I wake to my loud and obnoxious alarm along with my brightly lit room. as I slowly get out of bed Still half asleep it's chilly and it makes me want to crawl back into bed and curl up in my blankets but I can't miss my first day of school if I did the consequences that would follow are not pleasant in anyway and are definitely not worth missing a day of school if I'm not sick but that's okay I don't mind going to school. I go to the bathroom to wash my face the quiet house and the rising sun coming through the blinds gives me a feeling of peace I wash my face and finish up in the bathroom I walk over to my dresser to pick out what bottoms I'm gonna wear it's either the skirt or the pants, the skirt would look better but the pants would be more comfortable, hmm I can't decide I'll put on my uniform shirt then choose. my uniform could be better but at least it's not as bad as knots preps uniforms, knots prep is all the way across town they have all black uniforms with red ties where as my school has white uniforms with black ties that look decent for a school uniform. after putting on my shirt I decide to go with the skirt and some tights, I finish getting dressed and doing my makeup now comes the annoying part my hair, my hair is thick and curly so it's hard to style I decide to put it in a messy ponytail and leave it. I put my beat up white vans on and grab all my things I go downstairs to find my dad and stepmom in the kitchen making breakfast, I sit at the table and look out the window zoning out at all the birds flying around and soaking in the sunlight.
"Caitlyn are you listening? Hello??" My dad interrupting my thoughts once again, "sorry what?" I say after snapping out of it.
"see what I mean she never listens!" My stepmother says with a snarky tone accompanied by an eye roll "hon cut her some slack she's been through a lot this year." That a lot I have been through this year that my dad is telling my stepmother includes, bullying, harassment,assault, and let me see, oh yeah ptsd, anxiety, depression,and to top it all off a bitchy stepmother. Which doesn't help with any of that and is just with my dad for money but whatever. "I need to go I'm gonna be late bye." I say as I grab my stuff and walk out the front door not saying another word "Caitlyn hurry up!" My friend Eliza shouts from the sidewalk outside our house, "Eliza hey!" I shout. From the porch running down the stairs me and Eliza have been friends since the sixth grade we have walked to school together everyday for two years. today making it three.
