Dead Before Dark

Just A Fairytale

After a while Spencer passed out on the bed still talking in her sleep. I left a note by her bedside table explaining that I had to go home and that I'm borrowing some of her makeup for school. I went to the bathroom opened the cabinets grabbed the makeup and my phone goes off I realized my moms been texting and calling. The texts just say please come home I know you seen me this morning. Oh god she knows and this morning? It feels like it's been forever since I walked into her room and witnessed her.

I accidentally slammed the door when i left. I started walking to my house. My house was only a couple houses away from hers she always sneaks into my house at night when she doesn't want to stay at her own. Which I didn't mind back then. When my mom was sober and cooking dinner for everyone. Now it's not gonna be the same. It's gonna be different and not a good different.

I passed three houses before I reached my house. My boring hell hole of a house. I lingered outside my house contemplating before I went in. The last thing I wanted to do is talk to my mother. I just wanted to run away go live someplace else but I would never leave my mother alone to face a problem thinking she doesn't have my help or my love.

I studied the outside of the house before I walked in. "The paint is peeling badly, just like my emotions," I thought to myself. I study the little things about the house, whatever buys me time to think of something to say to my mother. I look at the door and study the door for a little while too. I notice that there is still a hole in the bottom of the trim.

I walked into the house expecting her to be sitting down with alcohol or something toxic in her hands. When I walked inside she was sitting down with a phone in her hands.

"That was your school. They've said that you've missed school. Two weeks now, Evaline. How long is this little act going to go on for?"

"Well how long are you planning on staying sober for?"

"Don't give me that bullshit! You know I couldn't control it!"

"Oh yeah really? Well would you be ok if I walked into school cussed out my teachers and say well i couldn't control it," I said furiously.

"Whatever Evaline your a disgrace to this family I can't believe you."

"Seriously? You can't believe me? I can't believe you. You're acting like your perfect! News flash you're not perfect. You're a horrible mother and not to mention its pretty sad when I wake up every morning and realize that my mother does more dope than I do." I say smiling because I knew I was quoting Eminem.

"I don't do more dope than you,"

"Whatever I'm going to bed I've had enough of your excuses."

Well that sucked one she didn't realize i was quoting Eminem and two she didn't even try to explain why she was drinking. She just wanted to argue.

I walk into my room. My room was a nice light blue. A pretty basic sized room. I had a bed,couch,dresser, and a cheap t.v. I bought the t.v myself with the money I earned babysitting and dog-sitting. I laid down on my bed and pulled the covers over my body. As I laid there counting my cheap stick on glow in the dark stickers on my ceiling. Before I knew it I was dead asleep.

"God its so dark."

It was pitch black and wet everywhere and it was below 0 degrees. I started walking around until i hit a wall. I realized my eyes were closed so I opened them. It was still so dark except for a light that of course,I started following. My heart kept beating faster and faster every time I started walking towards the light. It felt wrong to keep walking towards the light but I didn't care I wanted to get out of wherever I was at.
