Invisible

Chapter 5

Mackenzie's POV

I slowly open my eyes to my clock that says 10:30. I missed the bus!!! I can't believe that I didn't hear my alarm!!

But I am really tried from last night so I was kind of glad that I woke up later. I looked at my phone and saw a ton of texts from Destiny, and an unknown number.

I look at the unknown number and see that it's Brandon. I don't know how he got my number, but at this point I don't care. Destiny probably gave it to him.

There was so many texts from him, saying "are you okay?", "why aren't you at school?", "is there something wrong?"

I don't want to text him back because he might be in class, but I really need to talk to him.

I go against my gut and text him anyway.

Hey I'm fine, I just woke up late and decided to stay home. I hope your not in class right now. I just wanted to tell you I was okay.

Not even a moment later I hear my phone go off again.

Okay good Destiny told me everything. I just want to say I'm sorry for all the things that you are going through. I know it's not my fault but I feel like I needed to say that. I'm in the middle of math class, and I might get caught. So I'm going to go, if you need me text me. Bye! <3

I smile at what he said, it makes me feel all warm inside. I never had this feeling before.

All of a sudden I hear my mother screaming. Oh god she is probably drunk again. Her boss probably let her have a day off.

My stomach growls and I end up slowly walking to my bedroom door. I see my mom smashing pictures and glasses. I instantly become scared, I quickly run to my room. I close my door and lay there staring at the ceiling. I dream about how different my life would be if I had a different mother.

I know that sounds harsh but I just wonder sometimes. I think about how different it would be if my mom and dad didn't get a divorce. Would I still have the same friends? I don't know what would have happened but I would rather have an abusive mother than not have Destiny in my life.

I hear footsteps coming to down the hallway. I pretend that I'm sleeping, maybe she will just go away.

"Mackenzie I know you're not sleeping, get up before I pull you by your hair!!!"

I slowly open my eyes, I look at her with pleading eyes. She is too drunk to notice that I'm scared.

"What do you want?"

"Don't get an attitude with me young lady!! Why aren't you at school??"

"I woke up late so I didn't go."

"I don't want to hear your excuses!!"

The next thing I know I am getting hit in the stomach, and face. I just lay there and take the hits. There is no point in fighting back. She yells at me one more time before leaving.

I am so used to her hitting me so I just take it. It just makes me sad when she tells me that she doesn't want me, and that she wishes she never had me.

Sometimes I wish that my dad was back together with my mom. But reality sets in when I know that won't happen. I can still dream right?

I decided that I need to clear my mind, so I'm going to go for a walk. I get up and put some sweat pants on and a t-shirt on and sneak out the window. I don't want my mom to see me, so I try and be as quite as possible.

When I get outside I breathe in the fresh air. It makes me feel relaxed to have the sun on my face and the wind blow through my hair.

My mind is racing with thoughts that I can't control. I think back to what Brandon said, I can't tell weather he meant it or not.
