•~3rd person P.O.V~•
Rachel could never remember her dreams. It was one of the things she hated most because everyone else described their dreams to be so interesting. However, today she could. She remembered dreaming of Miguel when, even through her dream, she could hear commotion around her. That was what woke her up that day.

She rubbed her eyes, slowly looking at her surroundings. Sam's face was buried into the crook of Rachel's neck. That's when she heard something crash, and then Daniel's voice along with her Dad's. God Rachel was stupid, she should've texted Amanda or Daniel that Sam was staying over. As Rachel jolted up, Sam woke up as well.

"What's going on?" She asked, Rachel, stood up and slid on a hoodie.

"Stay here." She ordered, running out of her bedroom. She saw her dad and Daniel fighting but she was able to pull them apart.

"Would you two stop?!" She shouted, Robby came up the hall as well but Sam did as she was told and stayed in Rachel's room.

"Rachel, we've called and texted you and Sam! What's going on?!" Daniel shouted, glancing around trying to find Sam.

"I..." Rachel glanced at her dad. Sam would be in deep shit if her dad knew she was drinking, but why should Rachel care? "I was drinking and I didn't have a ride home so Sam drove me home with Robby and they stayed here. It was already late so we all fell asleep, I'm sorry." Daniel sighed.

"I gave you a second chance." Rachel felt her heart start to pound in her throat. She hadn't done anything wrong, she was taking up for Sam but at the same time, it was smashing her relationship with Daniel to pieces.

"Daniel..." She started, "you've known me for years and you're gonna disown me because of a mistake I made?" Daniel didn't say a word, but that just made Rachel more upset. "Fine, I'll get your beloved daughter and you can stay the hell out of my life if that makes you happy." Rachel spun around and went straight to her room, where Sam sat there, chewing on her nails.

"Rach-"

"Get the fuck out of my room and go with your dad, right now, I don't ever wanna see you or him ever again." Sam frowned and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Rachel, don't-" Sam started.

"I took up for you, and now your dad, the only father figure I had for years, hates me and never wants to see me again." Sam gulped. "So get the hell out of my house and never talk to me again." Rachel grabbed Sam's arm, pushing her towards Daniel before she ran back to her room.

She cried, she cried for a long time. She regretted taking up for Sam, but at least Sam wasn't in trouble. Good for her. She didn't mean for Daniel to get pissed at her, she was just trying to do what was best for Sam. Why did she care about Sam so much?! She didn't like her anymore, and she wasn't even a good friend to her.

Daniel had, sort of implied, kicked out Robby. Her dad gave Robby the "junk room" and the two of them cleaned it for most of the day. Rachel stayed in her room, watching TV and sleeping. Since she had her "do not disturb" on, she didn't realize that Sam, Daniel, and Amanda were trying to call her all day.

The first day of school was always a day that Rachel dreaded. She picked out her outfit the day before, a simple grey California hoodie and ripped jeans with her Air Forces. This year, her math class would be her first hour so she'd have to go to see Ms. Sandra as soon as she walked into school.

"You want the aux cord, Rach?" Her dad asked, glancing at her through the review mirror. She'd been acting even worse than before, he was worried she'd do something terrible if she didn't talk to Ms. Sandra again.
