"CORALINE JONES! OPEN THE GODDAMNED DOOR RIGHT NOW!" My father slurs. He's drunk. Of course he's drunk. I push myself up off of my dirty mattress and unlock my door. My dad stumbles into my room and attempts to throw his sticky beer bottle at me, but he misses and it smashes on the wall right next to me, glass shards and beer flying everywhere. "What do you want, dad?" I ask with an attitude. "GO TO YOUR MOTHER'S HOUSE, I DON'T WANNA WATCH YOU TONIGHT!" He yells rudely. I sigh as I get up to leave. I run past him and slam open the wooden door, picking at the sides of my fingernails as I walk through the half broken, rusty metal screen door. "Bye, dad." I say under my breath, rolling my eyes.
*time skip to her getting to her mom's house*
I take a deep breath and walk up my mom's staircase, leading to her mansion. My mom is a lawyer, so she makes a lot of money. She has a really nice house, really nice clothes, really nice everything. I ring the doorbell and am greeted by her, seconds later. She opens the door with a grin, but her grin turns into a frown when she sees me with my straggly brown hair, muddy brown eyes, and underweight figure. She sighs. "Hey, Coraline.." She says under her breath. "Hey, mom." I say with a smile, hoping she'll be nice to me today. She never talks to me, she just buys me things and expects me to shut up and go away. "Come in, I made spaghetti for dinner if you want any." She says. "Thanks." I say as I follow her into the main room, closing the wooden, white door behind me. I walk through the main hallway, a tiny smile on my face as I look at all of the pictures of her and her new boyfriend on her wall. "Coraline, please be quiet today because I'm making important calls and doing taxes," she says while walking into her perfectly organized office. I wander into the living room and sit on the clean, white couch. I look around, looking for something to do, and end up finding nothing and resorting to staring down at my lap. I feel lonely, but I like it. No one to judge me or hurt me.
A/N Sorry this chapter is so short (and sorry it kinda sucks), I'm working on my writing to make it better but idk, let me know if there's anything you want me to change, or if you have anything that you want me to add. I don't mind criticism! :)
