Can We Be Fixed?

Chapter 1- When home is not home

Just to be clear because I have not said it already, the parts will all be in Talia's POV, unless said otherwise, as she is the main character.

Enjoy!!!!!!

"Talia Grey Fletcher get your ass down here right now, before you father wakes up!"

I gasp and sit up, 

"Coming Mom"  

 I blindly get up from my mattress, almost walking straight into the wooden door frame where my door was supposed to be for my cramped bathroom, 

yeah I will explain later, long story short I used to have a bathroom door now it is split in half...

I hurriedly washed my face with freezing cold water, blinking aggressively to clear my eyes, I take in my reflection in my mirror and flinch, 

it wasn't pretty but it would have to do. I grabbed my hair brush and forced my hair to an agreement of surrender. 

Once I was satisfied I straightened my clothes and raced out of the bathroom out of my bedroom, and down the hallway almost winding myself as I collided with yet another door frame.

Groaning in pain as I looked up to see my step brother Daniel

 "Shit" 

Daniel smirked at me, but before he could move I quickly straightened myself up and sprinted down the staircase and into the kitchen 

where my mother stood glaring at me as my other step brother Caleb sat at the table smirking at me just like his older brother.

"I am so sorry mother, it will never happen again" I quickly said.

"It better not now, get breakfast ready were all waiting" she spat as she sat down at the table.

I quickly began making two coffees and placed them on the counter before I grabbed bread, eggs, from the fridge balancing them all in my hands 

as I quickly placed them on the counter

then I began and placing the bread in the three dumb toasters we had, mom made Simon buy them it was so dumb, 

and then yanked the fridge open as I began praying that we still had more sausages or bacon left in the fridge.

 I groaned as realized there was none.

"Mom did you buy anything I asked for yesterday"

"You never wrote it down" she snapped at me 

"Mom! you should check if there is food in the fridge I should not have to tell you"

She ignored me as she clicked her hands, a stupid sign she made to indicate she wanted her coffee.

I quickly gave her the coffee being careful not to spill a drop before I went back to the kitchen counter and placed 4 plates on the counter and added two pieces of toast for each plate 

except the last one as I had to put another 2 pieces of bread in the toaster before I began to start cooking the eggs.

Thank god, I just finished cooking the eggs and adding them to the toast before my step dad Simon entered the room.

Instantly I straightened up and grabbed his portion of food just as he clicked his fingers

"Oi, where is my food" he sighed 

"This brat can never do anything right"

I quickly sped walked to the table carefully balancing his food as I placed the plate and his coffee down, he grabbed my arm glaring 

"Next time be faster do you understand"

I nodded, trying to pull my arm away but he tightened the grip

"Don't make me repeat myself, do you understand?"

"Yes Simon" 

Satisfied with my answer he let go as he began a conversation with his wife and son

I quickly went back to the toast still cooking 

"Shit!" 

"Its burnt"  I hissed

I quickly grabbed the toast with my now burnt fingers and placed them on a plate. I tried to stop myself from tearing up as I grabbed cold Orange juice from the fridge and pored it into a glass cup.

I wasn't crying because of being burnt but because that was Daniels breakfast he was going to be so pissed.

Just my luck because as soon as I had that thought Daniel walked straight into the kitchen, settling down into his seat.

"Talia hurry up, I actually have places to be"  Daniel said rolling his eyes

I quickly grabbed two plates with two cups, I know extremely hard to balance, and placed them where my step brother Caleb and my mother sat.  Before walking back to the kitchen counter, I had no idea what to do

I could not serve Daniel burnt toast, I would rather burn all my fingers, so I decided to take longer and hope the bread would not take too long.
