Just live

Chapter 1

(Alarm goes off at 5:00 am )

I tug at the blanket over my head hoping that the dreadful noise will stop. I curl my toes tight and fling my arm across the bed to my phone lying perfectly the way I left it last night after watching Riverdale. Yes I know. I slowly attempt to roll out of my bed, coming closer to the edge, missing my balance and landing on the floor. "Ahh shit. It's Monday. " I mutter to myself as I make my way through to my bathroom. I do the usual like every other day, brush my teeth, wash my face you know normal things that make you look presentable. " ah what a day to be alive Skylee" I say sarcastically.

To let you know now I'm really sarcastic and sometimes very dramatic but anyways.

I fill my hands up with ice cold water running from the tap with the red sticker on, ironic how it's red yet the water is cold. "well looks looks Ben will be needing to fix this again"

Ben is the mechanic who lives on our property. Sadly. With his girlfriend, Sarah. I don't t like him. At all. He's such a dirty, grumpy guy who doesn't give a shit about anything except himself and treats woman like crap. That's Ben for you.

I wipe my face with my icy hands and look deeply into the mirror in  front of me. "Okay Skylee you can get through this week." I say tightly between my teeth. I feel like every week I say, I need to get through this week. Oh well. I pad my face on the damp towel from yesterday's shower, lying on the floor. I make my way through my valley of clothes and shoes lying everywhere. I'm actually a very clean person , usually my room is neat and I'm always on the go but you know when you just get those days where it's just shit? Yeah it was one of those days ... that lasted for months.

I exist my way out of my room walking past my moms bedroom. " hehe your so naughty Charles - stop it you'll wake the kids !" Thank God I was already awake and didn't have to wake up to that.

My mom is a divorced 32 year old woman who is kind of trying balance being a young strong independent woman while also wanting to be that hot mom... you know what I mean ? She had me  very young ( I'm 16 - you can do the math.)
And got married young to her high school sweet heart , aka my dad. We'll talk more about him in a moment.

I walk towards the kitchen, grabbing a glass off the counter and filling it up with water. I sit down in the dinning room to watch the sunrise, since it's the only thing that's keeping my mind off Charles and my mother.

My lips freeze to the rim of the glass. Even though it's in the middle of winter I still have the summer mindset. " Morning Skylee!" My step sister Eden would say with a sarcastic chirp in her tone.

Eden is my older step sister. She's Charles daughter. Since he met my mom they wanted to play family and make us all move into one big house together.

"Skylee so do think they doing it? " she grins and sips her tea.

" You mean having a sex ? " I look back at her and roll my eyes.

So here is a back story of Eden. Let's just say she is fucked. Like in the sense of she has a really weird mind and most people think that she has a split personality disorder cause she will be acting one way then give you crazy eyes the next. But don't worry she is seeing a therapist for our sake.

"So what you think ?" She sits closer to me and runs her fingers on my leg. Low-key creepy.

" Um I don't want to think about it.  Why don't you go to your room and talk to your boyfriend yeah ? "

I push her away and fast as I can. I honestly think that she has a thing for me, she's been like this since we met.

" yeah I'll go do that I know he's wanting his daily pictures " she looks back and gives me a wink.

Ew- that's all I could think of.

" Skylee get ready for school , so your dad can pick you !" My mom screams from her bedroom.

Agh here we go, let's meet my dad.
