MOON

Chapter 3

|June|

At one point in time, my life was going pretty well. I had a few best friends, a boy friend, both my parents were a happy couple, and me and my brother were really close.

Well that was a long time ago. Nowadays my brother hates me, my mom left us and my so called 'friends' act like they don't know me.

Oh yeah and my ex-boyfriend... well he's an asshole.

"Wake the hell up June, your alarm has been going off for ten minutes now!" Derek shouted at me after slamming my door open.

My eyes shot open and I rolled my eyes in annoyance. You know that moment of peace when you first wake up.. well I don't because I never had one. How am I supposed to with this idiot stomping around?

Derek walked over to my alarm and turned it off. We get it Derek your pissed off, you can leave now I thought to myself.

I got up and walked passed him to get a towel and went straight to my bathroom and took a shower. The heat and the dense steam soothed my muscles and made it even harder for me to get myself going for the day.

Eventually I woke myself up with some coffee and ate some cereal. As I was putting my bowl in the sink.

"Had enough breakfast fat ass?" Derek nonchalantly and walked past me to get an apple.

Admittedly that hurt but I decided today was the day I was going to be a smart ass. "Yep." I said calmly, guess that smartass thing didn't go as well as I wanted it too.

"I'll wait in the car." I said before closing the front door behind me. I missed my dad. He was never home and he was basically the only person in this town that treated me like a person who matters.

Most people can say that they're family loves them, that even though they might not get along they know the love is there.

Well with me and Derek I'm not to sure. I knew I loved him, he was my brother and I cared about him but I was almost sure he hated me.

Derek stepped out of the house and locked the door behind him.

Our neighbors were just leaving their house too. I always kind of wished they were my family. Mr. and Mrs. Dallas were so nice and so was their daughter, Emma. She was fifteen and I was pretty sure she was in love with Derek.

They always did family night and spent quality time with each other. I bet Emma told them everything, I bet they knew everything about her and loved her unconditionally.

I snapped out of my daydream when Derek hit my arm. "Wake up! I'm trying to tell you that I can't drive you home today so I guess you just gonna have to walk." He said with a frown on his face.

He was never happy when he had to talk to me. "Alright." I responded and put on my seat belt. "Are you going to cry about it?" He asked and I looked at him straight faced and then stared ahead.

"That was a good one." I said lamely and chuckled to himself. "I know" He said amused and started up his car his music on blast made me jump and he rolled his eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. Dallas waved us goodbye and we sped off to school.

It was still pretty early when we got to school so Derek walked to his friends table and I walked outside to enjoy the morning. There was certain stillness about the morning that I loved.

The bell rang and annoyance shot through me. Why can't there just be a day where I'm left alone to just enjoy the day instead of dread it. I haven't had one of those since- well since my mom was still here.
