[Thirteen -the after math]

The night progressed and everyone in the house fell asleep all except Tracy. She would be up in her room looking around before going to her mirror. She would lightly press on her bruise before feeling the stingy sensation ''Ah.'' she would say in pain before going back to her bed. Every inch of her room reminded her about Evie The bedsheets, the window everything. It made her sick to her stomach the way Evie lied to her and got her into all that trouble.

The morning would come and Tracy would wake up from her sleep the smell of french toast and eggs from the kitchen before Mel would walk into her room ''Tracy, we are not doing this right now get up and come to breakfast.''Mel would say as she hit the wall waiting for Tracy to get up from the bed. Tracy groaned as she slowly got up, brushed her teeth, and slipped on a baggy black sweater with jeans. She would make her way to breakfast where Mason and Mel would be sitting not looking at her.'' you know what mom, My friends are outside I should go.''Mason would say his smile dropping after seeing Tracy he would brush past her before going out the front door. Tracy would stand there at the door entrance.'' eat your food, don't make me late.''Mel would say Tracy would pout ''Mom Im walking to school, and I don't want your crappy dollar store shit.''She would say. Mel would look at her sternly ''come eat your damn food!''Mel would yell. Tracy would slowly walk to the table sitting down before hesitating to touch her food. Mel would sigh and look at her. Tracy would pick up her toast and eat it before the eggs before pushing the plate away.'' okay, come on get to the car.''Mel would say grabbing her purse and keys and walking out to the yard with Tracy. The two get into the car Mel drives to Tracy's school.''This is so lame.''She would complain Mel would shake her head sighing as she reached the drop-off lane ''Love you Tace.''She would softly say as Tracy walked out. Tracy nodded closing the door as she began walking to her first class of the day, lunchtime would arrive and she would make her way to an isolated table in the corner, A, small red-headed girl would walk to the table taking a seat across from her. ˝Hey my name is Ricky.'' The girl would softly say, however, Tracy wouldn't respond to her Ricky would look at her concerly before eating her Lunch.
