The constant sound of the television being played kept interrupting my thoughts. I had a 10 page essay due by tomorrow and I wasn't about to get it done with all these distractions. Groaning as I got up , making my way downstairs stoping halfway so I could yell, telling my younger brother Ollie to turn it down. "Alright." Is all he responded with as I began walking upstairs and heard the tv lower.
My dad has worked nights so from 5pm to 5am he was gone. We usually had a day job but as soon as the accident happened he switched to be gone all night. Probably to keep himself busy and not think about it. My dad is a very hard working dad, he cares about us and takes of my brother and I. He does all he can and we appreciate it.
My brother Ollie is 14 , he's a freshmen currently. Everyone at the highschool pretty much knows him by 'Avery's little brother' he doesn't quite like it. We actually get along pretty good but we have fights like all siblings do. Matt and Ollie used to be pretty close. They would always be playing video games in my living room. Or Matt would take Ollie out and just hang out but when the whole thing happened between us, Ollie seemed to take my side. I wasn't really expecting him to stop talking to Matt but he did for me.
I entered my room and sat in front of my desk and began writing to finish this damn essay.
\\ Next Morning //
'Beep beep' do you every have those dreams where you dream you turned off the alarm clock but in reality you're still sleeping. Pretty much my situation, I woke up hitting my bed sheets. I rolled my eyes and clicked the button on my phone to snooze it. My eyes were still shut tight, as I ran my hand through my hair I could feel the oiliness in it. I slipped out of my bed grabbing my towels hanging on my door and disappeared in the bathroom for 15 minutes.
Getting ready was always a struggle for me because I honestly didn't like myself. So if this made me look fat or if I thought I looked ugly I would keep changing. This was every morning not just every other day. I was never too confident and I don't think I will ever really be. I ended up wearing a black shirt with white pants and a flannel over it. 'Oh, how I love my beautiful flannels, this one was blue, black and white' .
"Ollie hurry , I'm leaving in 5." I yelled up the stairs to my brother. I walked into the kitchen, looking around trying to pick a morning snack. I bit into my apple and felt my stomach relax. My pocket buzzed as I got a text from my father.
'Be good at school , don't start another food fight. also I will be home around 6 today , picking up pizza on my way home , love you ' I smiled realizing that maybe my dad wasn't as bad as I thought he would be. The thought of having to stay after school today exhausted me. Ollie snapped me out of my thoughts as he reached over me to grab a banana.
We locked up the house, and basically ran to my car seeing we would both be late.
"Remember you gotta walk home because I have to stay after school." I tossed the house keys to my brother as the school bell rang. "Great , why you gotta go starting food fights?" He stated sarcastically putting the keys in his bag. We parted out ways as I fakely laughed at his not funny remark.
It was already time for school to be over, this is just great. School is ending but detention is just starting. Luckily I haven't seen Matt all day not even in homeroom , maybe he wasn't here today. I walked to the principle as told , when my brother texted me.
'gonna go over to gabe's be home at 5'
i replied to him with
'okay dads gonna bring home pizza at 6'
then i got back
'YAY , I'll for sure be home'
I rolled my eyes at my brothers sarcasticness. He gets it from me most likely , just saying. As I walked into the principle office feelings relieved that I won't have to be with Matt today I see him sitting there with an annoyed face.
'oh look satan came to join' .
