Fairytales or Reality

Chapter one

" Their prison is only in their minds, yet they are in that prison,and they are so afraid to be taken in by trickery that they cannot be taken out" The Last Battle

"Wake up sleepy head" my mom cooed quietly. For my dad was in bed with a killer head ache, trying to get over another one of his daily hangovers.

I finally opened my eyes and hurriedly got up and got ready for school. When the only thought filtering through my mind was the sooner the day started the sooner I could go back to bed, and dream of a world of complete bliss!

Plus if I got ready on time mom would have one less thing to worry about. The last thing she needs is to get fired from her job because her child wasn't ready for school on time. She is my one and only ride, I don't like making her wait.

When I got down stairs to eat my favorite cereal, cocoa puffs mom asks what she always asks every Friday......

" So.... Alyssa have you made plans to hang with someone today." She says it so casually like I actually have friends to " make plans with" and as always my answer is," No mom not today."

Even though it annoys me I put up with it because she is my mom and it's pretty much all we say to each other for the morning other than when she wakes me up.

I silently got into our family car that reeks of alcohol. The only things I have with me are a backpack and a book.
