life is never easy a.i

I know i have school today but i am skipping. It's only morning and i am already stressed out. I just walked around and ended up in a park, where i am right now. I am sad. I stare at the three's and the dirt and the sky. I like how peaceful it is. The only sound is that from the birds. It makes me feel less sad, less stressed. I like it because i don't have to think of my parents, Noelle, school, luke and even death.

Someone with a dog passes me, i quickly look at the ground afraid of meeting the person's eyes. The dog barks at me and i close my eyes and back away a bit, afraid that he will bite me.

"Come on Molly, we don't have all the time of the world. I have to go to school"

I hear a familiar voice saying. I open my eyes and quickly look up and immediately down again. No way, why? Luke?

"Come on Molly" luke says again.

Isn't he going to say something, like how i should die or so?

A little paranoid i stand there waiting for something to happen my stare still on the ground.

But nothing happens, when i look up again Luke is already on the end of the path. He didn't say anything? He acted like he didn't reconize me but he must have, but why didn't he say anything?

It's getting dark and i know that i have to go home soon or i will have to sleep outside. I don't want to go home but i don't have another option.

I look at the sky the beautiful sunset and smile a bit, i know i won't have that smile anymore when i come home so i take my time.

I want to stay here and not go home but i keep walking, i have to go there sometime, so why not now.

I reach my street and resist the urge to turn around and run as far away as i can. I want to but i am not going to. I have to face it one time.

I walk to the frontdoor and before i can open the door it already flies open. My mom slaps me hard across my face.

I guess i deserved it.

I just stand there my face still facing down the street from when my mom slapped me. It hurts but what did i expect? That she would just let me walk to my room while i had missed another day of school and could have died.

I turn my head to look at her and open my mouth to speak. But before i can say anything she slaps me again, even harder in the exact same spot. I look down the street once again.

"Don't say that you're sorry"

I look at her.

"I'm still so-" she slappes me again, same spot. It's probably going to show tomorrow. It doesn't even hurt anymore. Look from the street to her.

"I thought you died! Where where you?!"

"The park" i answer without looking at her, afraid of being slapped again.

The frontdoor opens again. I turn my head to look who it is, my dad walks in, he sees me and slappes me hard across my face.

Why are they all in the same spot?

My dad is furious.

"NEVER SCARE YOUR MOM LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN" he yells.

I don't even say anything anymore it will just get me slapped and i had enough slappes for today. I can't feel my cheek.

My dad hugs my mom and she cries in his shoulder. I awkwardly stand by and watch.

"I'm sorry baby" he whispers in her ear. "I don't know what we have done to deserve such a child" he whispers.

I can hear every word. He may think otherwise but i can hear it all. I don't even want to now what he says anymore and just walk past them up the stairs.
