Friday after school....
Yesterday was weird after he saw me in the dress. I dropped him off at home. Road in silence the whole time.

I drove home in silence and pulled up to the house. I gave him my number. Our project is due next week.I have no idea what we are going to do , but it's whatever.

Said to be at my house at 6. The gala starts at 7. Takes an hour to get to the investors house.

It's 4. Had to work at the boutique for an hour for Macy. Going pretty well.

I need to take a shower and whole bunch of crap I don't want to do...

Reed's pov...
I walked into my house and instantly regret it. My mom screaming at my dad. My brother not giving a shit.My pregnant older sister on the laptop doing cases for work.

" Hey! Did you do your chores Reed?" My dad shouts at me. He hit me yesterday for forgetting to take out the garbage.

" Yeah, did them this morning" I spoke clear so he can hear me. Fucking asshole.

He nods" Good, now, go do your fucking homework or something" he waves me off.

My mom scoffs" George! Be nice to the fucking kid!" She yells. From Jersey. To my family I am the fucking kid.

I am 18, but I don't have enough money to move out. Siblings don't give a shit about me.

He starts shouting random shit that I have 'done' and haven't been a good kid. I ignore the pain and walked down stairs.

I have to get ready for the gala. Surprised that they thought I was home yesterday doing homework.

I really hate them. They threatened to kick me out if I get expelled from school again.

Been expelled from 4 schools last 3 years. My family is done with me. I just want to live a decent life. Like being alone, living where I don't have to fear if my family steals from me.

I have to take a shower and stuff. I like seeing Dahlia. She is stubborn little brat, but she has a good heart. Kinda innocent.

Tyson and Jason are really great friends. I sleepover at their houses some nights. We do random shit together. It's fun.

I miss when everything was normal and right. When my parents didn't fight about everything, when my siblings didn't ignore me.

Or when my dad didn't abuse me. Done dealing with this shit.

Dahlia's pov
I shaved pretty much everywhere possible. Have a face mask on and plucking my eyebrows.

Mila comes in screaming in the top of her lungs" WE HAVE TO WATCH A MOVIE!" She runs into the bathroom where I am.

" What kind?" I asked chuckling. I continued to pluck my eyebrows.

She huffs" Aladdin! Aladdin!" She jumps up and down. She tugs in my arm" Please, Daya!" She screams.

I huffed" Ok, ok, calm down!" I picked her up and walked out to my bed and grabbed the remote.

" When is prince coming?" She crawls on the bed. She means Reed.

" You mean Reed?" I asked putting on Aladdin. She nods" Yes, he looks like a prince" she whispers.

I chuckled " He does, huh?" I turned up the tv. He does look like a Disney prince. Pretty boy.

" Yeah, like, um, I dunno, prince navine!" She points at me. Prince Navine?
