tweet sending...sent

vanessa shutdown her phone completely, as she could hear her parents still screaming down the hall from her.

"you were never there for vanessa when
she needed you! all you did was work!" her mother's screams traveled through the house making her flinch.

"well, what do you expect?! we live in a good home, that costs money. you're not complaining when you and your friends go to the spa once a week, are you?" her dad's even louder voice almost shook her windows.

"that's not fair and you know it's not!" her mother continued to rant.

"shut the fuck up, jen."

"get out of my house!"

"your house? since when do you pay the bills? you get out."

vanessa heard shuffling followed by the slam of the front door. she stood, slowly making her way to her bedroom door, opening it.

"dad...?" she whispered.

"vanessa, please-" her father made an attempt to reason with her but she shut her door as soon as he started talking.

throwing herself on her bed, she started to sob until her breathing steadied and she fell into a stress induced sleep.

-

when she opened her eyes, she noticed the sun was already pretty high in the sky. fuck, she turned off her phone along with her alarm. she threw on whatever clothes she could find and got ready to go to school.

once downstairs, she saw her dad sat at the table sipping a cup of coffee.

"there's my girl!" he smiled brightly.

"why didn't you fucking wake me up?"  vanessa asked angrily.

"because you had a rough night." her father sighed.

"i had a rough night? or you did?" she retorted, turning on her phone hearing several dings as her screen lit up.

"im sorry. but your mom, she was out of line and you know that-" he continued to talk but vanessa walked out of the house, "where are you going?"

"to school." she slammed he door, like her mother did last night, walking to school.

she glanced at her phone:

she clicked the missed calls, looking both ways before crossing the street to her school.

"hello?" vanessa asked as soon as she heard the ringing stop.

"uh, hello?" a male voice on the other end asked.

"who is this?" she asked, not recognizing the voice.

"it's timmy.."
