*CRASH!*

"This is the last straw Annelise!"
"Look mom, I'm sorry I'll clean it up. I swear!"
"No! You're 18 years old. You need to MOVE. OUT."
"But mom! I -"
She storms around the house and packs all my things into two suitcases. She hurls them out the door and starts the engine of my car. She puts the suitcases in the back of the car and looks at me with an angry expression, her arms crossed.
"GET. IN. THE. CAR."
"Mom, just give me one mo-"
"ANNELISE ROSANNA MARIE! GET IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW! IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU"
I stormed into the car and backed out of the drive way. I drove to a nearby coffee shop, picked up a newspaper, and sat at a table. I flipped to the room for rent page. There were so many offers.
*sigh* why is she so mad? All I did was get her that dog she wanted, but nnoooo she had to get angry at me. God, I tried to be a good daughter for once and she had a bitch fit. I flipped the page too hard and it ripped in half. *sigh* Nothing good ever happens to me. Just when I was about to give up hope, I saw an ad that caught my eye. Room for rent. Queen size bed included. $79 per month. I hurried back into my car and drove to the address. The house seemed so pretty. It was on top of a hill, which gave it an amazing view of LA. I knocked on the door and waited for someone to open. After knocking a second time, a tall guy opened the door.
"Hi, may I help you?" He asked
"Um... I hope so. You see, I saw this ad about the room for rent and I-"
"Oh, alright. Follow me. Don't mind the instruments leaning against the wall and the passed out boys on the couch. I'm Jonah by the way."
"Um, ok"
I followed him to a room on the second floor. I stared at the room in awe.
"*YAWN* I'm sorry, didn't get much sleep last night. Rehearsals was ..........."
I turned around and saw him leaning against the wall, sleeping. I didn't know if I should wake him up, so I just stood there. It was quiet for a good ten seconds until his phone started to ring. He jumped up and looked around, alerted. He looked at me and calmed down.
"Huh? Oh hey Logan.... Nah rehearsal was sick..... I don't think so, they're all sleeping..... What? Now? Urghhhhh.... Alright just... Let me wake up the rest of them first... 'Ight bye" he hung up and looked at me, "hey, sorry but um I gotta go. Feel free to look around the room, if u have any questions let me know ok?"
"Wait!"
"What is it?"
"I'll.... I'll rent the room. Here's the first payment," I handed him $80
"Oh it's $79, you gave an extra dollar"
"Keep it, buy yourself something nice"
He laughed and walked away. I laid down on the bed. When I got up I saw a boy with curly hair standing in the doorway.
"Um... Hi?"
"YO JONAH!"
"YEAH?" He called from downstairs
"WHY IS THERE A CHICK IN THIS ROOM?"
Jonah ran next to the curly haired kid.
"Huh? Oh, this is our new roommate....um what's your name?"
"Annelise"
"Annelise... Wow that's a really pretty name"
