How much shit can a person go through before they're truly dead on the inside?"

Pulling my hoodie over my head, I hear my mom yelling at me from downstairs.
Wincing, I walk down the old dark wooden stairs, my eyes wandering around the filthy room. The walls are an off-white with scattered decorative items, in an attempt to make this place more "homey". But it's far from that. I've been living in this place since I was 5 and somehow it still doesn't feel like home. I continue walking to find the living room. There is some dude sitting on the old leather couch. I roll my eyes and move to the door quicker.
Oh how I hate this place.
"I'm going to walk to school," I tell her quickly, my mom scoffs at me. I let out a quick breath and walk outside. Our front yard is surprisingly well kept. My mom takes pride in her outward appearance. She always has someone mow the lawn and clip the bushes.
Walking down the street, my mind wanders to Aelin. We've been talking all day and night for the past few days. She's so quirky, weird - in a good way of course, and she's just amazing. She wants to travel and see the world just like me.
I've never really been in a relationship or seen a healthy one for that matter. You see, my mom and dad aren't married. My dad got my mom pregnant and then decided being a dad wasnt his thing. Of course, My mom wanted childs support so she kept me. I haven't seen my dad since he left. He lives pretty far away and wants nothing to do with me. So I'm stuck living with my mom who hates me.
||After school||
Opening my front door I realize my mom isn't here, She's probably at the store so I don't have to deal with her yelling at me for at least a few more hours. I skip up the stairs in excitement. I can't wait to see her. Even though I saw her this morning. I giggle at how ridiculous I must sound. I swing my closet doors open. My eyes scan over my normal grungy style and converse. In the corner I have a few bathing suit options, mostly green and black bikinis. I don't really know what I want to wear, I knew I should have planned before but why plan if you can wait until the last minute?
Why do I do this to myself?
As I look through my bathing suits, my anxiety makes my heart beat faster than it probably should. Waiting until the last minute isn't something I should have done. What if I can't find the perfect bathing suit and I'm late? What if I find a bathing suit I like but Aelin doesn't think I look cute enough? Oh my god!
A couple minutes of scrounging through my closet, I finally find a matte black bikini with gold touches. Perfect!
