"Alex! I told you I'm busy!" Mum shouts as she picks up the TV remote. "Mum all your doing is watching TV! Is that really more important than your daughters grades?!" I snap back. Its always been like this. I come home from school and tell her that my grades are getting better, tell her to have a look, but shes never bothered. She carries on with whatever rubbish shes doing. Im always ignored. Or if I'm noticed I'm being shouted at or hit. Being hit isn't as bad as it sounds. At least i know that I'm noticed once in a while, i don't really feel it anymore. I give up and run out of the room. I slam the door sit on my bed. I give out a sigh. Why does this always happen to me? What did i do wrong? I cant help but think it was me. I stare at my black walls. "I wouldn't hold my breath if i was you" i hear the music playing. I look at the playlist on my phone 'now playing: True Friends Bring Me The Horizon' it says. I feel the warm tear fall down my cold cheek. What? Why am i crying? Beep beep i hear my phone go off.
Hey. Are you coming to the party tonight?
Its Matt. Finally! An excuse to get out of this idiotic house.
Yeah of course!
I reply. He's my best friend, yet he still doesn't know what its like at home for me. No one knows. Its at 8pm. I glance at the time. 6:30pm. It takes 10 minutes to get there. That means i have a hour. I look through my wardrobe. I pick out my Bring Me The Horizon jumper, Black Veil Brides top and black jeans. I put them on and get out my make up. After I've done that its 6:45. I grab my black boots and put them on. As i run downstairs my 8 year old brother, Sam, points out that I'm dressed up. "And where are you going?" My mum says. "Im surprised you noticed me." I reply. "Alex answer the damn question!" She shouts. "Yeah Alex." My brother chips in. "Im going to the party. I told you earlier. Anyway gonna be late so bye." I lie as i turn around swiftly. "Alex i wasn't finished talking!" She shouts. But i keep walking. She grabs my hand and pulls me back to face her. And for no reason she does it again. She slaps me. Hard. I fall on the floor. This time i actually felt it. My sister comes running in. "Whats happening? Alex? Oh my god not again, are you okay?" She runs towards me. Shes the only one that ever cares. "Emily go back to your room!" Mum orders. "But! Mum shes hurt!" She shouts back. "Em, its okay. Do as she says, I'm fine. Quick before she does it to you." I tell her. She nods. "O-ok. For you." She runs up to her room. "Im going to Freya's after for the night. Look after her please." I say as i get up from the floor.

Im sat on a bench in the park, waiting for the actual time to leave. Thats when it happens.
