Lou

※

I sat at the table picking through the carton that my takeout was in. I was quiet, I haven't said a word all day. My mom and my Sister were talking about finals and how she was failing meanwhile I'm forced to have my ears bleed while they do it. I picked up a tomato off of my plate and started to chew on it unsatisfied of the taste.

"Lou!" My mom nearly screeched making me almost jump out of my skin "I did not raise my daughter in a barn use your fork" She narrowed her eyes at me and I knew what was coming "Why don't you wear any makeup, Brush your hair sometimes I don't want to walk around town with a girl who looks like a werewolf you better change before we get to this event you look filthy what are those sweatpants?"

Boom there it was the criticism. She did this every time she saw me Kim was her picture perfect daughter and I was the stepchild who looked nothing like her and didn't want to look like a princess every hour of the day, and today I had enough of it.

"You must enjoy this" I said clasping my hands together "May I be excused, or do you want me to sit hear and judge everything about me until I'm in tears?" I said as I waited for a response "Well!?" I half yelled as I slammed my hands onto the table making the silverware jump out of there places. Finally they were quiet and I scoffed while dismissing myself and running up to the bathroom. My sister was taking me to a party being held at the Watson house the less rich family in the neighborhood as my mom would say. This was my hideaway, the bathroom could conceal every cry that escaped my mouth every whimper. The balcony that was across from the sink was were I looked out into the sky and studied the moon. It has flaws but everyone thought it was beautiful. This blew my mind particularly because I indeed thought I was in fact beautiful but my family didn't. Maybe the moon thought it was a dreadful sight but everyone marveled it. That's why I looked up to it so much.

"Lou get ready were leaving in an hour" Kim said knocking on the door and then leaving. I sighed and washed off my face putting some slight makeup on and throwing on the dress my dad bought for me before he went to war. It was a soft bronze color. Simple but my dad knew I would like it and he was right. After I was ready Kim dragged me out in her Porsche and drove to the party even though it was a block away she wanted to show off her car to everyone so she could be treated like royalty. Me on the other hand walked because I was to different to be seen with her as she told me to many times before.

Once I arrived It was loud and people were already dancing and drinking expensive alcohol. There were drunk teens everywhere you turned. I sat down at a couch awkwardly until I heard a group of girls start to laugh at me. I rolled my eyes as a shadow towered over me.

"I love your dress" she smiled "Im also a pathological liar" she smirked at me as I got up and attempted to walk away. Yet she was in my path. "You kinda smell here take a shower" she said and threw her drink on me making me gasp in shock. Everyone's eyes were on me she just stood there and smirked I gave a sad glare at her and walked over to Kim.

"Kim I want to go" I said as she ignored me "Kim! I said I want to go home" I yelled as she glared at me "Then go" she spat and walked away I adjusted my purse on my shoulder and walked through the sea of people attempting to get out. Tears streamed down my face the red drink was not going to come out and I already knew it.

"Your Beautiful" A boy with curly hair and green eyes said lazily walking behind me "What?" I sniffed and wiped my eyes He just wobbled as he attempted to walk his eyes were a semi red and his button up wasn't so buttoned "Your drunk" I said as he started laughing and then passed out making me quickly jump toward him and catch him before he hit the ground.

"No nope nuh uh wake up I am not doing this" I said in frustration but he didn't budge In defeat i knew mother would be out all night and morning sleeping around and Kim would be passed out on the Watson's floor from to much alcohol. So I took him to my house and tossed him on the couch.

I would figure it out in the morning.
