Our Anger (y/n x Vance Hopper)

Grab n' Go(01)

I slowly opened my eyes and got met with the outside light bleeding through my curtains. A yawn escaped my lips as I sat up in bed.

Ugh, I have work today. I glanced over to my alarm clock and felt panic set it. Fuck, I'm late.

I jumped up from bed and immediately started digging through my closet, desperately searching for a green shirt that wasn't TOO ugly. Nobody looks good in green, especially me.

"Y/n! You're going to be late for work!", I heard my dad yell.

I groaned and threw a shoe behind me, "Dad I know! I'm going to leave in a second! It's my job dude!"

I pulled out a green tank top and a random pair of jeans, this will do. I quickly got changed and rushed over to my vanity. Boss is going to kill me if I'm late one more time. Now hair. I sat down in front of my vanity and snatched up my hair tie and brush. Eh.. I'll just tie it up. I threw my hair back into a low bun and pulled out a few loose hairs.

"Y/n!", Dad yelled.

I got up and opened up my bedroom door, "What? I'm coming!"

I saw dad in the kitchen talking to Finney and Gwen, "Take your brother and sister to school. I don't want them walking since that boy Finney played baseball with went missing."

I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed the car keys, "Finney played against him and if you ever went to the games or asked about his life you'd know. He probably just ran away anyways, nothing ever happens in our town."

"You're as stubborn as a mule, just like your mother.", Dad chuckled to himself.

I glared at him, don't say anything y/n it's not worth it, "C'mon guys, let's go."

I ushered Gwen and Finney out of the house and slammed the door behind us. Just as we were about to get into the car dad opened the door and tossed a bag out onto the lawn.

"Love you guys! Y/n, there's lunch for your break!", he didn't give me time to respond and shut the front door.

I groaned and quickly grabbed the bag. We all hoped in the car and I started it up. Dad does try I guess... Sometimes. I pulled out of the driveway and I got honked at by a random car.

"Watch where you're going Dumbshit!", I heard a guy's voice, probably around my age yell.

I leaned out of the open window, "Shut the fuck up dickwad!", I didn't look at the person in the car but I flipped them off, "Fucking people dude."

The car sped away but not before flipping me off in return. Okay, now I'm backing up. I made a U-turn and drove off. Finney and Gwen were nonstop talking in the back, I love them but damn they're so loud. I sometimes wish I still went to school. I dropped out sophomore year because nobody ever leaves this loser shit town. If you live here, then you are doomed to stay here so what's the use in doing something I don't like for no reward? I'm making... Decent money.

I remember when I used to love school, I used to love reading, writing, and just all of that stuff. I used to be a lot happier when I went to school. Well, I got bullied and all but I liked everything else in school. If I stayed in school I would've been a junior.

"Y/n.", Gwen said, I hummed in response, "I had a dream again.."

I sighed, "Gwen, you know they don't mean anything. Mom was just like you, she thought they meant something and it fucked her up. She's fucking dead Gwen! Just forget about it."

"But, y/n. It was about Bruce, before he went missing! How does that not mean anything?!", Gwen yelled at me.

Oh my god, dude, "Gwen shut up! Shut up! Just shut up!", I screamed.

The car went dead silent. I gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned paper white. I pulled up to their school and stopped. I looked back and Gwen looked like she was about to cry and Finney glared at me. I ignored both of them, they'll understand when they're older.

I took a second to just sit there in front of the school, trying to compose myself and keep tears from slipping. I love them both but they just don't get why dad and I are so mad about those dreams. Dad and I were there for what happened to mom, they were babies they barely remember it. They didn't have to go through it as we did.

Finney and Gwen didn't have to find mom dead. They were throwing tantrums because dad wouldn't let them have the TV remote and mom was dead in the other room.

I looked in the car mirror and reminded myself not to blame them, they don't understand. Even if they did, it's not their fault.

I decided to head to work, I've wasted enough time already. I pulled out of the school and found myself getting lost in thought again.

I miss her. Mom always tried to understand me. I wish I had someone like her again, I have nobody now. Nobody.. Ever since mom passed I got this anger problem. I have these horrible outbursts and I get violent. I would be okay if mom didn't have those crazy visions, it's the visions' fault that she's gone.

I used to think her visions were cool, I wanted to be just like her. Dad was always concerned about them, he knew before anyone else that the "powers" would be a danger. I wish I had them and not her.

I pulled into the Grab n' Go and practically ran inside. My boss was working the counter in my place. As soon as I walked in he gave me furious look.

"Late, again.", He said and opened up the side door to the counter.

"I'm so sorry! My dad wanted me to take Gwen and Finney to school because of the kid going missing, I couldn't find a shirt this morning, this fucking asshole held me up when I was leaving my house. I'm sorry, boss.", my boss patted me on the back and handed me my name tag.

He leaned against the counter next to me, "So, what was this asshole like?", he asked.

I groaned, "Horrible! So I was trying to back out and he was speeding or some shit and apparently I was the bad guy! It's not my fault he was speeding like a Dumbshit!"

A girl, probably in high school walked up to the counter with a bag of chips and candy, "Oh, sounds like a dick.", my boss walked into the back.

I rang the girl up, and she gave me a weird look and walked over to the pinball machine. I saw one of our usuals playing the game, Vance Hopper. It's always shitty to see him. He used to make fun of me and push me around since elementary school, but he stopped when I dropped out of school. It's probably just because I work here though.

Today is going to be hell.

So people that have read my book before it got deleted know that this isn't at all how the story started but it was probably for the best my book got deleted because I wasn't happy with it in the first place. I'm still going to keep the whole main idea of the book. Y/n is struggling, therapy, Vance comes in yada yada yada.

I hope everyone likes this book better x
