Y/n POV

I woke up and my mom was already gone. She wakes up super early. My whole family does. I don't like too. I like to sleep in. I do it because half of the day goes by.

I walk downstairs, im still in my PJs. It doesn't matter. I read the clock and it was 12:30. I missed breakfast. I walked downstairs.

Everyone was up doing stuff. Mom and Patricia were outside, Beth was practicing Piano and I'm pretty sure Otis was out getting ready to hunt.

I rolled my eyes as I heard Beth start to sing. Don't get me wrong she was a good singer but she did this all the time. I wish I could tell her to shut up for something.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some orange juice. I sat in a chair and drank it. I would just wait until dinner time to get something to eat. See if Otis brought home anything good.

"Good afternoon sunshine" Grandpa said as he came into the room. I smiled at him.

"Would you like to help me with the horses today? I was just about to head down to the stables" he asked me as he grabbed a glass of water. I nodded.

"Go get dressed" he said as he laughed at my eagerness. I ran up the stairs to my room. You know there is not a lot of cool stuff that goes on in these times.

But when I got to take care of the animals I always got excited. I liked being able to help them. I wanted to be a veterinarian like grandpa when I got older. I just liked the fact of taking care of them.

When I was little my mom said we had a dog named Charlie. She said we were best friends and we did everything together. But charlie died of cancer. Just a couple years ago.

We buried him outside in the front yard next to the house. That was his favorite place to lay. I like to go out there and sit with him sometimes.

We never got a dog after that. We were all to heart broken. Sometimes when no one was around I used to talk to Charlie. Call him a good boy and stuff like that. But he was another reason why I stopped talking.

I put on some old pair of sneakers, t-shirt and some jeans. They were already messed up and it wasn't like I was messing up a good pair.

I tied my hair in a pony tail to keep it out of my face. I walked down the stairs to find grandpa waiting at the door.

"Hurry up" he said as he laughed. I jumped down the stairs and ran to the stables. My favorite horse was Nelly. We liked to call her nervous Nelly. When she got scared she would jump and run. She wasn't the best to ride though but he kept her around.

I opened up the big doors. I ran inside to find Nelly. I found hed all the way in the back. She was let out a sound when I accidentally ran into a bucket and tipped it over. It stunk in her with all the shit.

That was my least favorite thing to do. And sometimes when I don't listen to mom as a punishment she used to make me do that. But I've completely learned my lesson.

"Go fill up some water" he told me. I grabbed three buckets and walked down to a well. Another thing I really didn't like doing.

It was so much work going back and forth. I couldn't really do the big stuff yet but this was the best I could do.

"Need help?" I heard Jimmy ask. Beth's stupid boyfriend. He is such a try hard and it makes me cringe. I shook my head no.

"You sure?" He asked again. I shook my head an even bigger no. So he would get the point.

He walked over to me and tried to take the buckets away. I quickly yanked them away and continued. I flipped him off. He scoffed and ran.

Probably to tell my mom. He is such a pussy. Trying to get over one to like him. I rolled my eyes as I made it to the well and started to fill up the water.

After I got my second bucket done I heard someone walk towards me. I turn around and see my mom. And she had the mom look on. I mentally groaned and I was prepared for a talking too.

"Why did you flip off Jimmy?" She asked me as she stepped closer. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Going to need more of a response" she told me. She was hoping that maybe I would explain myself. I shrugged mh shoulders even harder.

"As much as you don't like him you can't do that to people" she said as she walked infront of me. I ignored her and continued to fill up the water. She pulled the rope from my hands.

I glared at her and crossed my hands over my chest. I couldn't do anything around here. Everyone was so far much my ass they could probably make my talk with there hand.

"You need to apologize" she said firmly. I rolled my eyes and stormed off. I ran back to the house. I didn't care anymore. I couldn't do anything without people telling me what to do.

I stormed into the house and Beth was not done singing. I stomped upstairs and slammed my door. I fell to the bed. I kicked off my shoes and pulled the Blanket over me.

I wished that I would just disappear. Maybe everything would be so much better. Or maybe if dad took me with him. Maybe everything would be totally different then.

I felt warm tears fall down from my eyes. I quickly wiped them away. I hated crying. Made me feel stupid and weak.
