"Daddd please let me go to this sleepover" I beg
"Will you leave me alone if I say yes?" He says annoyed
"100%" I say excited
"Fine you can go when is it?" He asks
"Tomorrow" I say
"Okay what time do you need to be there?" He asks again
"Around 5" I say
"Okay" he says with a sigh
~another time skip sorry~
This sleepover wasn't a sleepover it was a party but my dad would never agree to that so I lied no one knows it's party so I'll probably Js not put anything expect anything I need in my bag. And I'm gonna be early so I'll probably go somewhere else for a few hours.
"Y/N LETS GO" I hear my dad yell
"COMING" I yell back. I walk in the kitchen bag and me and my dad leave and he drives me to the house. Since it was still early it didn't look like a party was gonna happen but my dad was one of those dads who wanna make sure I get it so I had to work around that
"I'm gonna stay here until I know your inside" he says
"It's okay I have to go through the back anyways I'll text your when I'm inside okay?" I say
"Hmmm okay hut I'm gonna wait Js a minute" he says
"Okay" I says and I get out and walk to the back of the house. I tried not to be creepy but I had to turn the corner of the house to make it look like I was gonna walk in do I did that and then I wait like 2 minutes and message my dad I'm in and then he leaves so I walk to the nearby McDonald's. I sit there and scroll on tiktok and try to keep a low profile incase I see someone I know. After a while of scrolling I decide to walk back together he house cause it's like a 15 minute walk and the party starts in 5 minutes.
I get to the house and you hear the loud music and see lots of kids everywhere, I walk in and go straight to the drinks and pour myself one. I talk with the friend who invited me and after a while she say she had an announcement. She gets on a table and gets everyone's attention. The dj cuts the music and everyone starts whisper to each other.
"As you all know I threw this party but I want to tell you guys something!" She exclaims in the table "Y/n is secretly in love with her best friend Alex" she tells everyone. I don't know what to do so I run out of the house and go back to McDonald's since there open 24/7 so I decide to stay there all night. I can't fall asleep since I'm upset and scared something might happen to me. The sun stays to rise and this is a good sign. I told my dad I have a ride home to I gotta walk so I start walking. After about 30 mins I get home and my dad isn't home I assume he's at the Alvarez's so I go straight to my room and lock the door. I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone so I hit my cart and lay in bed staring at the ceiling. Idk how much time goes past but I hear a knock at my door.
"Hey sweetie how was the sleepover?" I hear my dads voice I don't respond I'm to numb. I trusted her with that and she ruined my life if Alex finds he'll stop being my friend. I know I shouldn't do this but I sneak out and go to this one persons house.
"Yo could you hook me up with smt if I pay you" I ask
"Uhh yea how much you got?" They ask
"Uhh about 40 bucks" I say
"Igh give me a min" they say they come back and give me smt idk what is is but Ik ima take it
"Thanks man" I say
"No problem" I hear as I walk back home. As I get home u sneak back in and I take one pill the 40 bucks got me about 15 pills so I gotta make this last.
~time skip once again~
It's been a few days and my dad has tried to talk to me multiple times so has Alex, Penelope and abuelita but I didn't budge I'm high and on drugs and I can't get enough. I think my dad noticed but I took some money and got more pills. I realize that I'm home alone and I get the urge to go somewhere so I leave. It's all a blur on what I was doing but I wan ant gonna go to the Alvarez's so I was wondering around till I stop and Js sit down in the hallway. I start thinking about everything that happened and I start laughing. I hear footsteps so I stop and I think there gonna walk right past but they don't they try to talk to me but everything's all blurry and they sound like a faint voice
"Y/n are you okay?" The voice says in a panic
"How do you know my name?" I ask
"Y/n it's me Alex" the voice says
"No your not I would know if it was him" I argue
"Stay right here I'm going to get your dad" Alex says
"Wait no I'm fine I was Js joking alex don't get him he'll ground me I'm fine watch" I say frantically and trying to stand up but I can't "I'm okay Js a little tired" I say with a smile not realizing that he walked away. I soon hear a bunch of footsteps coming towards me and there all saying my name
"Omg y/n what happened are you okay" I hear who i think is my dad talking
"I'm fine Alex is Js over reacting" I say
"Honey no he isn't let's get you home" he says
"I'm okay I'm comfy right here" I say as my dad picks me up
"We'll get you some water and some food while you lay on the couch" my dad says
"Dad my really okay I promise" I say not so convincing
"Mhm sweetie" he says holding back tears. We get home and he puts me on the couch then makes me some chicken nuggets and gets me water. Alex wanted to come over but Penelope wouldn't let him. I slowly eat the food and I'm stating to sober up and I drink the water. Soon Penelope comes over and I hear her and my dad talking in the other room.
"Pen I don't know what to do she went off the rails she's to young for rehab" my dad frantically says
" Schneider it's okay she will either be here with an adult or at my house with an adult she won't be left alone I promise we'll all help her" I hear Penelope comfort him. I know I messed up but I don't need to be watched like a baby.
I'm finally fully sober and I feel empty again. My dad tried to talk to me about what happened and what made me do the things I did but I didn't wanna talk about it. My dad won't let me go to my room so I've been sitting it laying on the couch all the time. Penelope still won't let Alex see me but I understand and I don't wanna see him either. My dad decided to put me in therapy and they put me on antidepressants. Those have helped and I'm starting to feel like myself again. I finally decided to go see the Alvarez's. I'm scared because of the last time they saw me but I'm sure it will be fine. I get to the door and I'm about to walk in but I feel hesitant. I open the door slowly and make sure everyone is in a good mood and I walk in. I don't say anything and I Js sit on the couch. Penelope notices me and walks over
"Hey hun how are you feeling?" She asks
"Umm I'm okay" I say with a half smile
"That's good do you need anything?" She asks
"No I'm okay" I respond
"Okay let me know if you need anything" she says
I nod
"Wait actually are you okay if I talk to Alex?" I ask
"Go ahead and you didn't have to ask sweetie" she says
"Ok also thank you Penelope" I say
"For what?" She asks
"For being the mom I never had" I say while hugging her
"Of course hunny" she says as she hugs me back
I walk to Alex's room and knock lightly
"Come in" I hear Alex say. I walk in and he isn't facing the door so he doesn't know it's me
"I'm sorry" I say and he turns around and gives me the biggest hug. I hug him back and I start crying.
"I'm so sorry Alex for everything. You shouldn't have found me like that and I shouldn't have shut you out" I say while crying
"It's okay I'm glad your okay now" he says still hugging me "don't ever do that again you scared all of us"
"I know I'm sorry I just thought it was an escape" I explain
"From what?" He ask
"That sleepover was actually a party and this girl who I thought was my friend told everyone one of my biggest secrets" I say while wiping my tears
"Oh I'm sorry" he says
"It's okay it Js like you didn't even know the secret but you probably know now" I sigh
"No I didn't hear about that" he explains "what was the secret?" He asks
"I can't tell you rn. You'll fine out one day tho" I say
"Oh okay"
