Numb (Dark H.S.)

Chapter one

"Mom, we'll be fine! Just go out and have some fun!" I laugh, having to practically push my parents out the door. They worry about us way more than they should. They need a night out for themselves.

"Okay, okay!" My mom says, laughing. She wraps her arms around me and kisses my cheek. "I love you, be safe and don't leave this house." She says firmly.

"I know. No going out, no one coming over, watch Derek. I got it. Now go!" She gives me one more kiss then finally goes to the car where her husband is waiting for her. I wave goodbye to them then shut the door, sighing.

I walk upstairs and knock on Derek's door. No answer. Of course. Derek is actually 2 years older than me, but I'm the one that has to look after him since he likes to sneak out and go to parties all the time. I'm more of the stay in my room and watch Netflix kind of girl. I turn the knob and walk in, finding Derek with his feet on the wall, his back laying on the floor with ear-buds in his ears. I roll my eyes and walk out, not even bothering to talk to him. He'll just get mad at me for walking into his room. My parents took his lock off since he wouldn't let them in and ignore everyone all day. And, of course, sneak out to parties.

My mind wanders back to the homework I was doing before my parents left. I'm really not in the mood for homework since it is a Friday night. Friday nights are usually my 'Eat all day and watch Orange Is The New Black' day. But, teachers are evil and decided to give out homework.

Joy.

But what are Saturday's and Sunday's for? I smile and walk into the kitchen. I grab a popcorn bag and put it into the microwave. I walk into the pantry and grab a bag of Cheetos, potato chips, and gummy bears. I pour some Cheetos and potato chips into a big bowl, then grab the popcorn and pour it in. I shake the bowl to mix it all up. Derek goes insane when I do this cause it's 'weird and stupid' but I don't really care. I open the fridge and grab a Pepsi. I take all of my things to the living room and plop down on the couch. I turn Orange Is The New Black and enjoy my Friday night.

I wake up to a knock on the door. My bowl fell over while I fell asleep. Chips, popcorn, and Cheetos are scattered around the floor and couch. The knocking gets louder. I rub my eyes and stand up, brushing the crumbs off of me and walking to the door. I see Derek walking down the stairs.

"Would you answer the door already? It's fucking annoying," he growls, his hair messy. He was obviously sleeping. I roll my eyes and open the door.

I'm surprised to see two police officers standing in front of me. My eyebrows frown, staring confused at them.

"Can I help you?" I ask.

"Yes, ma'am. I'm afraid your parents have been in a car accident. They didn't make it." He says.

My jaw drops, tears burn in my eyes. My hand goes to cover my mouth, a sob breaking through. "Oh my god," I whisper. I feel Derek come up behind me.

"What's going on?" He asks, his voice not sounding like it did just 5 minutes ago.
