I'm Just A Bastard Child

Ava's POV:

"Ava wake up" Tom yelled
"We have to get your brother to school on time today and we are running late.
I got up and threw on a band t with some black tights with a skirt with skulls all over it. Finally I got on my Doc Martins and went to the bathroom. I stared at my pale skin and dark sunken in eyes. I knew I was too thin, but all I saw was fat. I brushed my hair and threw on some makeup, and went to the kitchen. My brother Jonas was sitting at the table eating cereal and I grabbed an apple.

"Come on Ava eat a little more than that" Jen commanded. "I'm not that hungry" I replied.

"Whatever, come on we are going to be late getting Jonas to school again"

"Why do they worry about Jonas more than me?" I wondered.

We got to school and I got out of the car. "Have a nice day honey" Tom said bluntly, "They don't mean it" my conscience screamed
"Thanks dad" I said nicely, and with that they drove away,

They don't mean it

I went inside and saw a kid pinned againsted the wall by someone named Landon, the schools bully. I wanted to say something but I was too worried so I just walked away.

School was over and done with and I rode the bus home. "Get out of my seat you fucker" said some girl I didn't even know her name, something like Alabama or some shit, she was like a second grader so I ignored her. "Why are people's kids so mean" I wondered.

I made it home and walked in my front door. "I'm home!" I yelled
"In the living room" Jen said
I went in and sat on the couch. "How was school sweety?" She asked "It was ok" I replied honestly.
"Your father and I need to discuss something with you" she said with a look that could kill. I was automatically worried, my father came in and sat down next to mom.
"Tom would you like me to start or would you"? Jen asked calmly. "Ill go" he replied.
"Ava we are concerned about your health" " You seem to be hardly eating anything and are losing a lot of weight" Tom stated
"We just want you to be honest with us" "Have you been throwing up as well"?
That immediately set me off. I stood up and ran to my room, I locked the door and heard the loud footsteps coming toward my door.
"Ava open the door" Jen exclaimed
"Open the door please baby" Tom followed
"GO AWAY BOTH OF YOU I DON'T WANT TO TALK RIGHT NOW" I yelled at them. I heard then talking outside

Jen: Let her be Tom"
Tom: "I just want her to be okay"
Jen: "I know but she's obviously going through something, let her be and if she remains the same then we will go from there"

Soon they walked away and I cried even harder. I knew my parents were upset and it was my fault.
I tried to push that aside and think about that kid today. I was trying to figure out who we was, he looked kind of familiar. Then it dawned on me.

That was Jack Hoppus
Mark's son
The bully was Landon
Travis' son
That girl on the bus was Alabama
His daughter
Holy shit

I had to do something, Ill just look for Jack tomorrow and make friends.
