        I had loads of homework to do, but I don't feel like doing it, I'll do it later. I'd rather lay in bed making up imaginations of amazing things that will never happen.

"Harry! Dinners ready!" Mum yells from the kitchen. I sighed.

"Gemma can you get me some dinner?" I asked as she walked by my room. She looked at me with her tired, mad eyes and gagged.

"God gave you legs for a reason, now use them" she replied. I sighed once more and went downstairs with my phone. The kitchen was way more quieter without dad, when he was around, the table was always loud with full conversations and every one was having fun. I smiled while thinking of those moments. A little tear drop fell from my eye

"Harry?" Gemma said unexpectedly. I snapped out of my imagination and wiped the tear away from my eye

"Yes?" I replied

"You alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine" I nodded my head. It was quiet again, the only thing you could hear was the sound of forks clinging against the plates.

"So how was school?" Mum asked

"It was fine" Gemma rolled her eyes. Mum looked at me expecting an answer but I was too busy checking my phone

"Harry!" Mum called

"Sorry" I awkwardly smiled and looked back down at my phone

"Look at me when I'm talking, give me that" she snatched my phone from my hands

"Give it back!" I yelled. Gemma quietly giggled

"Harry what's this?" Mum asked while showing a notification from Austin. He spammed me while saying really bad things

"Who is Austin and why is he saying this?" Mum asked once again. Gemma giggled even more

"Ha ha careful before you choke to death!" I yelled towards Gemma

"Whoa whose the one to wish death?"

"I never wished shit on you, shut up Gemma!" Gemma and I kept going back and forth at each other until mum had enough

"THAT'S IT! Both of you!" Mum yelled. She looked towards me

"Harry, who is Austin?" Mum asked once again

"He's a friend" I said quietly

"Why would your friend say this to you? Wait why haven't I met him yet?"

"It's maybe just a prank text, guys do that a lot at school" I replied

"Prank" Gemma whispers under her breath and giggles

"I hope you choke on your meal so you shut up already" I said towards Gemma. Gemma looked at mum with wide eyes and her jaw opened wide

"Did you here that, mum!?" She yells

"That's it, both of you to your room, I'm done" mum stood up, dusted off her dress and walked off. Gemma and I watched her as she walked away sadly. Gemma and I could've just cut mum some slack. I truly felt bad for what I just did. I took my plate and went upstairs to finish my homework at last, leaving Gemma in the kitchen.

        At school the next morning I caught up with Louis.

"Hey Lou" I smiled until I realized I called him "Lou" I had an awkward smile on my face while Louis raised an eyebrow

"Lou?" He chuckled
