Mother Issues

Chapter 2

"I got champagne for the pain, Blackout all the memories, Running' through my veins, I don't really wanna feel anything, trying to escape,I'm my only enemy, Drinks up, keep 'em laced, I don't really wanna feel anything

Madison groaned loudly as her phone played the alarm that just happened to be Champagne for the Pain by Niykee Heaton. She rolled over and brushed her hair out of her eyes, before grabbing her phone and squinting at the screen, shutting it off. She then caught sight of the calender, her lips suddenly curling into a smile as she noiced...

It was Friday; Junior Banquet was tonight and there was no way her dad would be missing it!

With this in mind, she hopped out of bed and bounced around her room, rummaging through and trying to figure out what she was wearing today. She already had the awards outfit planned; a black spaghetti strap dress that stopped just below her knees and her black heels. However, she had to get through school first, and while Friday was supposed to be a good day, Mr. Del Rio's Biology II test made Fridays one of the worst days of the week.

"Hmm.." Madison pouted her lips and made a 'tutting' sound as she looked at her clothing in her closet. After another fifteen minutes and after pulling out quite a few jeans, shirts, and shorts, she decided on wearing a black pleated skirt, a black t-shirt, a white denim vest over it, white and black cheetah print tights and black half boots. She lay her outfit on her bed, then grabbed her underwear and robe before wandering off down the hall to the bathroom...

After a nice shower, Madison returned to her room and got dressed for the day before unwrapping the towel from her hair. After a quick blow dry and straighten, she packed up her backpack, then folded up her dress neatly and placed it in her oversized coach bag and put her shoes in. She then rushed off downstairs, hearing the beeping car horn outside, signaling that Danielle and her mother were outside. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she noticed her father in the kitchen.

"I'm out dad; see you later. I love you!" she called. James looked up and smiled, waving.

"Have a good day, princess; I'll see you at the banquet." he winked. Madison gave him a thumbs up before rushing off outside to the shiny black Mercedes that was waiting in the driveway. Danielle and her mother, Serena, appeared be engrossed in a deep conversation, which appeared to be funny as both of them suddenly burst out laughing. However, they both looked up and waved, and Serena hit the button to unlock the car door. Madison smiled and slid into the back seat, pushing her bags onto the seat beside her.

"Good morning Miss Serena , and wassup Angel." she greeted them both. Danielle gave her a fist bump while Sarah looked over her shoulder and smiled.

"Happy Friday babies; it'll be a good day right?" Serena asked. Danielle shook her head while Madison just rolled her eyes.

"Mr. Del Rio does a test for our Bio-two class every Friday; this won't be much of a good day." she replied, making Serena laugh.

"You gotta make the best of it kids." she pointed out, making Danielle and Madison smirk at each other. They carried on chatting about the ride to school, with Serena even pointing out that she was already excited for the IRL concert at the Staples Center that was in two weeks and she was planning to throw a little after party afterwards. Soon enough, they pulled up in the student drop off-pick up area at the school. After a quick goodbye, Danielle and Madison got out of the car and walked off towards the entrance. The pair chatted as they walked inside, laughing and joking about a show they had watched the night before. They rounded the corner and saw the other girls waiting by their lockers, smiling.

"Hey girl, what the happened to you calling me last night?" Olivia asked her straight away, making Madison roll her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Liv; dad came all late and wrong and then he pissed me off so I did my homework and then went to bed. After Trig, I was just a tired out hot ass mess." Madison replied, spinning the dial on her locker. She heard a click, so she opened it up.
