The Teen Maggot

Chapter 1

      Living with Slipknot is very strange. Being surrounded by nine men, and one of them is my father, Jim Root. The ten of us live in Des Moines, Iowa. My mother lives in California, she cheated on my father over a year ago and they both got a divorce. I was forced to live with her last summer, until my father got full custody of me. At the age of 17 I have been through so much shit. My uncle, Paul Gray passed in 2010. He thought me everything I know about playing a bass. When he passed, let's just say I had a lot of hospital visits.
        
       I overdosed on pills five times, and then more times for cutting. Eventually, my father took me out of school because I wasn't mentally stable. I have changed so much that no one in my passed life won't know about me, besides Kari, shes my only best friend.

      "Come on Madison! You're going to be late if you don't hurry up!" my father shouted.

      I sighed, I pulled my ash blonde hair up on a high ponytail and walked downstairs. In the past I had dark brown hair. No one will notice me.
    
      "My baby girl is a Junior now, " father sobbed.

      "Aww, father." I pulled him into a hug. The last time I saw him cry was when I overdosed for the first time.
  
      My father started telling me how I will be Madison Johnson in school. If anyone knows that I'm Madison Root, I'll have to disappear again. When I was bullied, it had made my anxiety attacks and my depression worse.

       "Bye father, I love you," I whispered and kissed his check.

     As I drove to school, I started freaking out. Then I saw Kari, it helped me calm down a bit. I got out of the car and I ran over and hugged her. "I missed you Kari. "

       "You too Madison. I haven't seen you since July. It's now September."

     I chucked. "I know. I'm so glad we have the same schedule." The only thing I dreaded about school was music. Don't get me wrong, I love music, it's my passion. But the teacher, Mr.C, has always hated me.

     As 8th period came around, I was dreading going to music. I heard we were talking about bassist players. I was already freaking out.

     "Okay class, who is this?" The slide changed, and there was a picture of Paul. Mr. C smirked at me. I held onto the necklace that Paul gave and tears slowly fell down my cheeks. I whipped them before anyone noticed, but Kari did.

     "Some pathetic bassist," a girl muttered so that everyone can hear. I choked on my tears and coughed.

     "Paul Gray, " I said while pushing my hair back. Kari sighed, and I saw that she was texting my father what I just did. I wasn't supposed to say anything about people I knew and love.

     Mr. C smirked again, that weirdo needs to get fired. "Madison how do you know this?"

     "Well obviously, "I bitterly said," he's the best bassist before he passed away. But in my head he's still number one."

     Mr. C snickerd, "Well alright. On with the lesson."

      I whipped swear off my face, and I saw that Kari was still texting my father. I'm in so much trouble when I get home.

      This school year is going to be hell.
