"ARIANNA PUT ON THAT DRESS, DO YOUR MAKEUP AND GET DOWN HERE!" I hear my mother shout from downstairs.

"GIVE ME A MINUTE!" I shout back, "QUIT THE BACKTALKING!" She demands.

I roll my eyes the wander to my closet where a black plaid sundress hung on a hanger.

I sigh before grabbing it and changing into it.

I do my makeup which only consisted of mascara, concealer and blush then grabbed my belongings and went downstairs.

"Your smoothie's in the fridge." My mom informs me as she walks to her room.

I grab the smoothie and begin to scroll through Instagram as I sip the drink.

"Alright honey you ready to go?" My dad asks, a hand on my back, "Yeah." I sigh.

"Hey, be happy for once. You're always walking around pouting and with a frown on your face, smile some more." My dad smiles at me. 

I smile at him, even if I hadn't been in the mood for smiling at the moment.








I hear the bell attached to the diner's front door ring, causing me to look up from my phone and towards the door.

Just fucking great. The neighbors. The Sturniolos. Those three stupid and reckless boys and their mother.

I make eye contact with the one who goes by Matt. He shoots me a slight smile while I just roll my eyes then look back at my phone.

"Arianna get off of your phone and actually engage in a conversation with your mother and father." My mom demands as the triplets wait for a waitress.

"You guys weren't even talking to me." I reply, putting my phone on my lap, "Don't talk back to us." She snaps.

I just faintly roll my eyes and look to the side, anywhere away from my mom's eyes.

"You have got to be shitting me." I mutter as the triplets get seated in the booth right behind ours.

"Stop swearing, it's not lady like." My dad instructs.

"I'll be back, I'm going to use the restroom." I say, picking up my phone from my lap and bringing it with me to the bathroom.

As I walk past the triplet's booth, I hear the three of them laughing at me. I just flip them off as I keep walking. 

I enter the bathroom and walk into the big stall for handicapped women. I lock the door then turn to the mirror where I can already see tears forming in my eyes.

Why did my life have to be so fucked up? Why couldn't I have a mother like Mary Lou, or why couldn't my mother at least listen to what Mary Lou has had to say.

I take one big deep breath, then another one before flattening out my dress and wiping under my eyes.

Once I know I'm in the clear, I walk back out to my parents.

On my way I make eye contact with Chris, who just glared through my eyes until he couldn't.

"They gave you three pancakes so I'm putting the other two in a to go box for another breakfast." My mom informs me as she picks food off of my plate.

"Why can't I just eat what I ordered?" I ask her, "Because Arianna, I'm not having you ruin our family picture by eating like a pig." she answers.

"I barely eat though." I state, "Arianna you shut your fucking mouth. I feed you at home so don't act like we starve you." she snaps, her teeth gritting with anger.

"I thought it was un-lady like to swear." I mutter.

She just groans quietly into her hands.

"Listen here young lady, you listen to me and you listen good. You do not talk back to me, nor do you get to lie about me. Do I make myself clear?" he says, her face close to mine.

"As crystal." I sigh, slumping back in my seat.

"Now sit up," she demands.

"What did I ever do to deserve this?" she mutters to my dad, "You guys fucked without a condom or birth control." I snap back and I can hear Chris snicker from behind me.

"You shut your mouth." My father snaps, pointing a finger at me.

"Then don't be shit talking me when I'm right here!" I exclaim.

"Both of you shut up! You're causing a ruckus." My mom demands.

"I'm done with this shit." I mutter, rolling my eyes and walking outside to the car.

As I open the backseat, a hand wraps around my wrist.

"What the fuck did you just do in there?!" My mom shouts, her grip tightening by the second, "I didn't even do anything!" I exclaim.

"You are such an ungrateful brat! All me and your father have ever done for you is care for you and guide you and this is how you repay us! Ridiculous!" she replies.

"What do you mean care and guide for me! I'm 18 and you still pick out my outfits! You shit talk our neighbors who just want to help but you're too caught up in your own image to even see that!" I exclaim.

"Get in the car!" she shouts, "I haven't even ate my-"

"IN THE CAR!" she interrupts.

"And you call me a brat." I mutter as I climb into the car.

"Don't talk back!" she shouts.

"SHUT UP!" I shout back, instantly regretting it.

"You're lucky it's Summer and you have to wear dresses and skirts or you'd have your ass beaten." she tells me.

I stay silent as she slams the car door and goes back into the diner for what I assume is my dad and to pay.

I open the door and close it as best as I could. When I turn around I see my mother and father standing in front of me.

"Did I tell you to get out of the car?!" my mom asks, slamming me against the car as I see the triplets and their mom walk out.

Great.

"I needed a breather." I state with a shrug as Mary Lou comes up to us.

I wipe my eyes, hoping no one caught the tear that fell down my face. But as soon as I look up I see Matt looking directly at me.

"Hey, Payton! I haven't talked to you in a while!" Mary Lou says, I knew she was trying to start a conversation with my mom before anything bad could happen to me.

I shoot her a smile which she smiles back before looking back at my parents.

"Leave us alone Mary Lou, we were about to leave." Payton snaps.

"Oh well, you guys be safe alright. And you guys can call if you ever need anything." Mary Lou says, looking at me in the eyes.

I nod my head letting her know I got the message.

"We don't need you." My dad says rudely before walking into the car.

"Thank yo-" I begin to say to Mary Lou.

"ARIANNA GET IN THE CAR!" My mom shouts.

"Thanks." I mutter, "You're welcome Aria." Mary Lou replies as I get in the back seat.




KIERA SPEAKS 💌

Bad first chapter I know, sorry. But the next chapter will have more Matt and Aria interaction. Also I really hate this chapter but I cannot seem to find the right words to write it so it's gonna be left at this. 

With this being said, goodnight :)
