//Raven's Pov//

I plug my headphones into my phone, and tap my steering wheel along to the beat of my favorite All Time Low song "therapy."

I'm deep in thought, drowning out everything that's going on around me.

My sister, Ashley, she was everything I'm not. Before she died, I had a real family. My parents actually cared about me and weren't there to simply complain about my existence.

Ever since she's been gone, things just went to the worst. I picked up so many addictions, self harming was the biggest one.

I had done it a few times before Ash died, but she helped me stop.

Now that she's gone, I have no one to stop me.

My thoughts are interrupted by the loud honking of the car behind me.

I guess I've been sitting at a green light for the past thirty seconds, I roll down my window and flip the car off before speeding away.

I finally pull into the parking lot of the Walgreen's I work at.

I snatch my bag out of the passengers seat and quickly walk in the back door, almost running to the bathroom to change into my uniform.

While in the bathroom, I quickly pop some Xanax in my mouth before I stuff my bag into the cubby hole with my name above it.

The day seems to drag on as my thoughts eat away at my self control.

I don't know if I can keep it inside any longer.

//flashback://

"You're happy today." Ashely's soft voice lingers in my ear as I struggle with my locker combination.

"Yeah I guess I am" I say back with a smile playing it's way onto my lips.

"Is there a something, or someone behind this reason of happiness?" Ash nudges my side with her elbow.

I laugh at the question, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

There was someone.

It was Ash.

//flashback over//

"Excuse me? Miss? Are you going to do your job and ring up my items?"

I'm immediately snapped out of my thoughts by a rude customer.

"Sorry, that'll be $12.05" I mumble as I bag the mans things.

I want this day to be over.

An hour passes by and I realize my shift ends in thirty minutes.

Thank god.

I probably should have mentioned this before but I'm seventeen, I guess some would say that I'm Emo but I don't like to label myself, I have black and red hair, my ears are gaged and I have snake bites.

The last thirty minutes of work went by pretty fast, I'm now on my way back to hell, sorry, I mean "home."

Florida is such a boring state, oh I forgot to mention, I live in Florida. I hate it here, so much.

I'll be eighteen in about four months. I'm going to move to California, I would move now - my parents don't give a shit about what I do anyways - but I'm trying to save my money. So far, it's going well, I guess.

I finally pull into the driveway and turn off my car.

I sigh deeply and rub my face with my hands.

I sit like this for about ten minutes, just breathing. I do this often, I'm not sure why.

I open the front door to find my father, asleep on the couch.

Quietly, I sneak into the house, hoping he won't wake up. But of course, knowing my luck, he does.

"Fuck Raven!" My dad drunkenly mumbles

I don't say anything, I just keep walking to my room.

That is until, he grabs my wrist and pulls my towards him. I keep my head down, staring at my feet.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you" he growls, his breath smelling of whisky.

He then grabs my face, bad idea.

I kick him as hard as I can, in the shin and run upstairs to my room, slamming the door behind me quickly locking it.
