Trigger Warning: Suicide Takes Place
I'll alert you by having these **** in place when it starts and these #### when it finishes
Well to say mum wasn't pissed when I turned up at our police swarmed house at eight o'clock at night would be a lie because let me tell you she was pissed. Mum's eye's were swollen and red, her face all blotchy with tear tracks down her cheeks but as soon as she saw me -unharmed and clearly fine. Those tears dried up real fast and her swollen eyes narrowed and her blotchy face turned red in fury. I sighed, walked up to her, gave her a hug then faced all the police. "Look it's been a misunderstanding, I'm fine, no one stole me, I didn't run away, I was just spending some time with my horse. Sorry for the inconvenience." I mumbled out before opening the front door and let it slam shut behind me.
As I rounded the corner to the kitchen, I saw Josh sitting at the counter, blankly staring out at space, I tapped him on the shoulder and he slowly turned to look at me. "Arianna-Jacqueline"
I gulped, this wasn't a good start. "Joshua. Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you all I was staying out for a bit but I had a really rough day at school and I just needed some time out with Shakespeare. I wasn't planning on being so late but I fell asleep. As soon as I woke up I came straight back. I'm really sorry ok?"
He smiled slightly and let put a shaky sigh before pulling me into a hug and gently stroked my hair. "I thought you'd took off, hit the road, just like them."
I pulled back in surprise, "No, no Josh. I would never, ever leave you guys with out warning. Never." I smiled slightly, "Of course there's an exception for if I got my big break with the lead in that new movie, then I'd be in LA before you could say Quidditch."
He laughed loudly at this, "Only you could say all that in one conversation."
I laughed with him until suddenly the door slammed open, Josh and I shared a glance, "Arianna-Jacqueline Celia Goodwill!"
"Crap." We both whispered with a wince,
Josh mouthed 'go' and I didn't think twice, shooting him a 'thank you' and a quick thumbs up, I was out of there. racing up the stairs I rushed into my room and shut the door quietly before pressing my ear against it. At first I could just hear mum shouting random stuff in Italian before she calmed down.
"...I don't get it! Why couldn't she just call that's why she's got the stupid mobile device to you know call people! She's jus-" Mum was cut off by Josh.
"Hey, look I just talked with her, she had a really bad day at school, she didn't mean to stay so late, she fell asleep. She's sorry ok?" Josh stated calmly, he always had a bit of a knack for calmly her down, I just made her angrier.
I heard her sigh in defeat, before they started talking about other unimportant things, I smiled slightly and thanked Josh in my head before stepping into my bathroom and had a shower before going to bed.

Saturday, the last day of the week, the day named after Saturn. I can relate to it being named after Saturn, why? Because today felt like shit. I swear Saturn was looking down at me and went 'oh look she is having a ball with her life, lets invite the guests!' idiot. First, my hair was a rats nest and my red roots were showing so I needed to dye my hair soon. So I took the truck into town to get the grocery's and hair dye. When hey mum decided to pay all the bills in one go again so there was no money in the bank and I ended up looking like an idiot when their was no money to pay for the grocery's. Oh and then for the merry hour drive back turned into three when the truck wouldn't start! So there I was bent over the hood trying to fix the old rust bucket when suddenly oil burst up and splashed all over my shirt. Eventually I manage to fix it so that's a plus, then I changed my shirt. Yes like an idiot I did it in the parking lot but it looked like it was deserted. Suddenly I hear a voice break the silence, "This is going straight to twitter, what do you think sounds better, hash tag country bumpkin got down and dirty, or nerd turned dirty?" Zeke shouted with amusement.
