Max's POV

          I woke up to the sound of yelling just the same as every morning, well every morning since Neil and Billy entered my mom and I's life. I dont know what she sees in Neil, the way he acted immideitely changed when they got married. I hated it, I didnt completely like him at first but I liked him more than I do now

"Maxine! Get up for school, you dont want to be late on your first day!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs.

This sucked I was going to a new school and even worse it was the middle of the school year, well technically a little after the beginning but still. This means everyone would know people except for me, I would be the odd one out.

"Yeah yeah Im coming!"

          I got out of bed and walked over to my closet grabbing a white a rainbow striped shirt, a red jacket, and a pair of jeans. I threw on my clothes and went to the bathroom combing my hair and brushing my teeth. I walked down stairs a bit nervous for what would happen, mostly with Neil he was always drinking and he never stops, he doesnt even try.

"Maxine what took so long?" Neil sternly said sitting on the couch in front of the TV

"I was getting dressed what else?"

"What was that" He asked sitting up more straight and putting down his beer

God why is he such an ass

          I hate to admit it but he scared me I dont know what he'll do or when or why. He's hit me before and god damn it hurts, and what he does to me is nothing compared to what my mom gets, I feel bad because theres nothing I can do and my mom wont tell anyone whats really going on she just acts like we're the perfect family when we're not.

"Sorry I was just getting dressed" I told him walking to the kitchen where my mom was

"Morning Maxine heres your breakfast" My mom handed me a plate of eggs and I took it and started towards the table

          Billy was sitting down, he stared me down a bit before scoffing and getting up. He was always pissed off for some reason a lot of the time you cant ever figure out. I started eating and could hear Neils show he always had the TV so loud. I had finished my breakfast and put my dish in the sink, I walked back up stairs not wanting to be out here for much longer

          Then right when all was decent I heard Neils loud voice echo over the house. He was yelling at my mom, he always is and she doesnt even care, she doesnt try to stop it, she doesnt try to stand up for herself, and whenever I bring it up she says the same thing every time "Its nothing Maxine dont you worry about it".

"MAXINE COME ON DIPSHIT YOU FORGET IM YOUR RIDE?!" Billy shouted over my parents and somehow was louder than them, and if Im being honest I had forgotten. For some reason my mom wanted Billy to drive me on my first do to make sure "all was well" but I really dont know what she means by that

"IM COMING" I shouted back grabbing my backpack and running downstairs and halfway down the stairs I looked down, I didnt have any shoes.

"shit" I said quiet enough to not be heard I ran back upstairs looking for my green vans.

"MAAAAXXXX LETS GOOOO!" Billy said even louder clapping with his words

          I put on my shoes and grabbed my skateboard running out the door yelling goodbye. I closed the door after getting in Billys blue Chevrolet Camaro. He immediately drove off driving way faster then he should but who was going to stop him?

"This better not happen again Max ok? Im not gonna be late because of your ass got that?" Billy said sternly not even trying to look over at me

"Yeah whatever like you have anywhere to be" I said back
