My Salvation- raia

C7- House Party?

~Ross~
"Your kidding me, right?" My eyes widen. I've already fucked up with her before even starting, there's no way that's gonna happen. We're polar opposites. She's a goody two shoes who's intelligent and prude and I'm... Well me.
"What your not up to it?" Rocky's voice has a mocking tone to it. "Lynch, you surely aren't going soft on her, are you?" I was. 100%. But he wasn't going to know that.
"Okay, fine. It's a deal. And if I don't do it?"
"Then you have to give me position as top dog in this school." So this is what he wanted. I'm not afraid of him taking my position, screw the Aussie, I'm all in.
"Let's do it."
"Ross, are you sure this is a good idea?" Ellington mumbles under his breath as him and Jay look at me with unsure expressions.
"It's not that big of a deal." Countering him, he rolls his eyes and Jay steps in.
"Let me rephrase that. Ross, this isn't a good idea."
"Piss off." I grumble, looking over as Maia walked into the cafeteria. Honestly, she was beautiful. The way her hair fell down her shoulders and back or how her eyes scan every room she enters with curiosity. Her smile was entrancing and.... Shut up Ross! She's only a girl! Someone who your going to fuck and never see again.
But I have to date her! I don't do feelings and relationships! But I guess I'll have to.
"The quicker you get with her, the quicker this will be over." He smirks before standing up and walking away, luckily, along with his dumb ass friends.
"Ross, are you crazy? She already hates you and now your going to manipulate her?" Jay exclaims, hitting me round the back of the head. Rolling my eyes, I search around the cafeteria for Kat and call her over.
"What's up?" Both of us had been more civilised since the incident and we're working together to keep our family safe.
"You picking them up or me?" I question, she knew who I was talking about. Lucas, Ivory and Jade are currently our main priority. Making sure they were okay and for me, making sure Kat was okay too, was what we had to focus on.
"Can you? I have art." She asks, I nod in response and she walks away.
"Are you coming to that party tonight?" Ellington asks me, and I reply with no. "Why not?"
"I'm not going to Rocky's lame ass party-"
"Dude, the party is at your house." Jay laughs, running a hand over his chin as I flip out.
"What?!?!" I exclaim and half the canteen turns to look at us. I drag him by his arm out of the hall and to the hallway. "Lucas and my sisters are home, tonight!"
"Let Lucas stay at Brady's and my Mom will look after Ivory and Jade overnight. They both love Alicia." She was Jay's little sister and was about the same age at the twins.
"Your a life saver!" I grin as we do our small handshake. But all I could think was...
Shit, Kat's gonna kill me.

~Maia~
"Your brother is having a party that you didn't know about and you want me to come why?" I laugh, as I pause the TV. Currently, I was watching the Notebook because I'm in a depressive mood and felt like crying a bit. You know, the usual.
"To save me! Duh! Please, just put on a dress and come round." The only dresses I think I had was the dress I wore to my Father's funeral and the one from my Junior prom. So, either I would be crying more tonight or sucking in my stomach to fit inside a tiny dress.
But that's was us girls have to do. Because we are just rag dolls to men that they can dress up and play with until their bored. And many of us want to be played with every day, so we make ourselves look 'hot' or 'sexy' and maybe, just maybe, we've accomplished our life goals.
Well not me.
Nobody has the right to judge a person on what they wear because it's wrong. If we all gave into the pressure of having to be skinny and have big boobs and asses to please others, our whole would be bland. Those things would become boring and individuality soil disappear.
"Okay, fine. I'll call someone to babysit." I sigh, and she squeals in delight. "But I can't stay out for long, I have to be home."
"Why?"
I haven't told anybody about my situation. I didn't see a point, nobody would understand. Having a Mum who can't look after me and my siblings, and no Father. They don't understand that I don't have the money to go to parties, I have to work. It's the only way. An abusive stepfather, who beats me regularly, and the demons that I try to control. Sometimes it feels like they are controlling me.
"I have a night shift."
"Okay, get over here soon."

"You look pretty." I turn around to see Lira standing once again with her favourite toy, Olaf. She runs over and his my legs as I laugh quietly. "Like Belle."
"I'm not sure I reach Belle quite yet, honey." I chuckle halfheartedly, running a hand through my hair.
"Will you be back?" She questions, as I grab my house keys from the bowl on the dining table.
"Of course honey. Before you even know it!"
"Before David comes back?" Charlie questions, his stutter coming through mildly.
"I promise." I kiss his cheek before grabbing their meal out of the oven and serving it up. "I'll be home soon."
