For Better, Or For Worse? // Completed✔︎

Chapter 7:

My mother narrowed her eyes at me. 

"Axel is a good man." She wrapped the bed sheets around herself and went into her bathroom with cloths.

"What kind of good do you mean? Good at being a jerk, or good at making you BELIEVE he isn't a jerk." I smiled smugly, even though she couldn't see me. 

She mumbled from the bathroom, loud enough so I could barley hear her.

"You know what good I mean." I scuffed, and walked out of her bedroom. Closing the door behind me, I went to my room across the hall. I fixed the sign on my door that read:

"NO AXEL ALOUD", hoping I wouldn't have to use it anymore.  I opened my door, walked in and closed it behind me. Opening my cloths drawer, I heard my mom talking on the phone. There were 3 possibilities of who she could be talking to. Axel: apologizing, My school: asking if I have homework over the break, or The hospital: asking about Savannah. Ignoring it, I grabbed my PJs, walked into my bathroom and changed. 

****After Changing :')****

I looked at my clock on my desk.

9:30 p.m.. How did time go so fast!?

I fluffed my pillow, and laid down. Trying not to think about Axel, and all the crap he has been doing to my mom. I closed my eyes, and soon enough, fell asleep.

***January 3rd, 2017***

:BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!:

My alarm clock woke me up with a start. I haven't heard that annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP, since the day break started. I groaned at my clock. 

"One more hourrrrr" I threw my blanket over my head.

"Damnit I'm just going to be late to school, and put more damn stress on my mom." I picked up the covers and threw them sideways, making a triangle. I got up, and examined my bed. Quickly, I made it, making sure it was perfection for my mom. I looked in my drawer, trying to find an ok back-from-break outfit. 

"Ehhh... I think I'm just going to do my usual, sweatshirt and jeans." 

I picked out an OK sweatshirt that read:

"The only thing you should fear, is fear itself" on the back of it. Picking out the usual skinny jeans, I went into my bathroom to take a shower.

Brendan's POV

"Dad, I'm taking my bike to school. I'll be careful, bye." I put on my Adidas sneakers, tied them, and went out into the mudroom. I could faintly hear my dad call back saying:

"Ok. See you when you get home."

I looked behind a few boxes, and found my mountain bike. Carrying it inside, I opened the door with my foot, and put my bike down on the grass. Closing the house door, I pulled up my hoody and mounted my bike. I started riding to school.

Aqua's POV

I hopped out of the shower, and put on my sweatshirt and jeans. Turning off my lights and closing my door, I ran downstairs, and grabbed the cereal and milk. Placing them on the island, I  opened a cabinet and grabbed a bowl. Opening a drawer, I grabbed a spoon and brought the bowl and spoon to the island. I made my breakfast, and started to eat it. My mom came downstairs. She had a nice outfit on, and I could see she caked on a little to much makeup.

"What's with the fancy outfit?" I drank the rest of the milk in my bowl, and then got up bringing it to the sink and washing it off.

"I'm leaving for a date when you are leaving for school." I turned around and examined her.

"Who are you going on a date with?" I lifted one eyebrow and crossed my arms like she did when she found out a few years ago that I had a boyfriend.

"Axel." I hissed at her, and stole a few dollars out of her pocketbook. 

"Lunch money." I said, and put it in my pocket. Going into the mudroom, I searched around for my black, converse sneakers. Bringing them back into the kitchen, I bent down, putting them on.

"You know, honey, there is nothing wrong with Axel" Her voice was a little squeaky. I watched her grab her fur coat and put it on.

"Great. Now Axel is getting you to wear a bear's ass." I smirked at my mom, and grabbed my coat, too.

"Ha ha. Funny." She narrowed her eyes at me, and opened the front door. I put my coat on and hopped in her car. She started it, and we were on our way to my high school.

***After the 15 minute drive***

"Bye Mom." I jumped out of her car and started running to school.

"Bye!!" She yelled after me. 

I pushed through the school doors, and walked really fast up the stairs to the 3rd floor. Opening my locker, I hung my coat on the coat hanger. I grabbed my first half of the day books, and closed my locker. Looking over at where Savannah would usually be standing, I sighed and turned. Head down, I started walking to the stairs. I ran straight into Brendan's arms. I looked up and he looked down.

"Hey." 

"Hi.." I said nervously, backing up so I didn't have to look up at him. People looked at us, and snickered. I heard a few names going around, that were probably being thrown at me. Some of them were,: Slut, whore, and bitch. There were many others.

"Uh, can I walk you to class?"

"Sure" I said smiling, trying to ignore the words buzzing around us. Kids stared as we walked down the stairs to our first class.

"So.. Last night." I looked at him, wondering if he was going to say something.

"Yeah.. Last night was.. uhm, interesting." He looked back at me.

"Yeah. I don't kn-"

:BEEEEEEEEEEP:

 The bell cut me off, and I knew we had less than 3 minutes now to get to Mrs.Dodds' class room.

We started to walk faster until we got to her class. We took our seats.

:BEEEEEEEEEP: 

Mrs.Dodds walked in, and class begun.
