" Harlow, get your ass up and make me breakfast".  I begin to wake up and move around. I look at the time on my clock on my stand next to my bed. 6:00 am. I don't need to be up right now. I don't have to be at school until 9:45 am for my english classes that i start today. 

"Ugh!" I sigh and start getting up. I head to my closet and begin looking for for some clothes for today. 

   I pick out some black jeans with holes in the knees, then i look through my shirts and i find a white shirts with letting all over it and i pair that with my black leather jacket

   I pick out some black jeans with holes in the knees, then i look through my shirts and i find a white shirts with letting all over it and i pair that with my black leather jacket. For my shoes i grab my sliver high heals  and to top off my outfit i add a beautiful chocker. Once i have picked out my outfit i head to the bathroom and start getting ready for my shower. 

    Turning on the shower i set it to the setting of water i like it at, which is luke warm, not too hot and not too cold. I wash my hair and my body, then rinse all the soap off. I shut the water off grab my towel for the cupboard and begin to dry off. Once i dry off i begin  to get dressed. Once everything is on and done i go to my room, make sure i have everything ready for school, i grab my school bag, phone, and wallet i head downstairs. I go to the kitchen and I see my evil step dad Jamie. Jamie is at the table reading something on his phone. He hears me and turns to look at me with a very angry scowl on his face. He gets up from his seat after putting his phone on the table. He stops, looks at me, then out of nowhere smacks me in the face then yells, "What the hell took you so long. Ive been down here for about almost 30 mins, waiting for my breakfast. I want it cooked, NOW!" 

   I flinch a little bit, then head to the kitchen to start making breakfast for him. Once im finished making it for him, i look at the time. 8:45 am. Ugh! I still have an hour until i need to be at the college and it takes me about 15 to 20 mins to get there, depending on the traffic. I grab some yogurt and a banana for my breakfast and begin eating it. I grab some orange juice and pour some in a cup.  Once i finish my breakfast i look at the time again, 9:15. I sigh and throw my yogurt container and banana peel in the trash. I finish my juice, walk over to the sink, i rinse it out the i put the cup into the dishwasher.  I start heading to the walkway in front of the door grab my stuff then begin heading out the door, then stop when Jamie begins yelling at me.

He yells, "Where the hell do you think you are going? "

I pinch the top of my nose and sigh a little. I look up at him and say " I start school today, remember. My first class starts at 9:45 so i have to leave or im gonna be late. I still have to figure out where the building is where i need to go.

He just stands there looking at me, seems like hours when it was only like a couple seconds. then finally asks..  " I want you home right after your classes and make dinner, and it better be on the table by the time i get home at 5:30. "

I stare at him, neutral face and then i say, Ill do my best but i have to be at work at 5.

He starts to get angry and then comes closer to me and in a growl he says, i don't care if you have to work or not. I want dinner done and on the table at 530. Do i make myself clear? 

I stare at him more, then shake my head, looking at him more. "Ugh! Fine. whatever, i have to go."

He yells at me again as i walk out the door, to my car. " I mean it Harlow, 5:30. If its not done by then and on that table there will be consequences."

I yell back, " I understand, damn." I get into my car and i begin to drive to the college so i have a decent amount of time to be able to find the building i need to go into, plus my classes i need to take today. 

As i was at a stop light, i get a text from my brother Rowan.

Rowan: Hey Sis, How ya been? Just wanted to wish you luck on your first day of School. If you need me you know how to get ahold of me

Me: Hey bro, thanks. And I know your always there for me. Btw wanted to let you know im gonna be late today. Fucking Jamie is make me make him food like always and hes expecting it to be on the table by the time he gets home.


The light turns green and i begin driving again. I begin to see the parking lot for the school, i turn into it and begin looking for the English building. Once i find it i park in a parking spot close by.

Another message from Rowan, I look at my Phone and see what he replyed with.

Rowan: Are you fucking kidding me, Harlow?! I wish you just moved in with me or how bout this i help you find your own place. That way you dont have to deal with that jackass anymore. I love you Sis, but im tired of seeing you go through this shit. You don't deserve that. what time do your classes get done today?

I look at the text as i go find my class. Once i found it i look at the clock, 9:39 am. I still have a few minutes for class to start so i walk into the class and find a seat close to the whiteboard. Once i sit down i look at my phone again and i quickly type a response back to him.

Me: I Know, hes a jackass, but i have no other choice. If i leave i don't know if he will hurt me or not. Please, I just want to get out, I do, I just dont know how. Can you help me??  I plead with him. then i finish my text.  I get out of my last class at 3pm. I have to go the teacher just walked in. I love you bro and i will talk to you when i get the chance. 

I set my phone in my bag making sure its on vibrate, but before i could close the zipper up it vibrates. He messaged me back. I'll look at it after class.

I grab my pen and notebook out of my bag for notes and homework assignments and set them on my desk. As I'm setting them on my desk the teacher begins to speak.


   "Hello, Class. Welcome to English 104. My name is Mr. Lopez and i will be teaching your for the next 4 and a half months." He turns to the whiteboard and writes his name. After writing his name he sets the cap back on the marker then sets the marker down on the desk for later use. "Okay, so Today we are just gonna go over the basics and the syllabus...."

 I stop writing in my notebook and look up at the teacher, just to see him staring at me. I shy away and around seeing everyone looking at me as well. I look back down at my notebook, and wait for the teacher to speak again.
