Why me? a story of all suckish things in life

Chapter 2 - Cody

Cody Quinn 18

Ow I thought, my hand was cramped from to much painting, my art teacher Ms. Reagan kept yelling at me to push my limit and be amazing, but I didn't even want to be an artist, I wanted to be famous for more than pictures, I wanted to act, sing, dance, anything like that but not draw.

Excuse me . I said

Where do you think you are going? she snapped

To the bathroom. I said trying not to sound sarcastic. When I got to the bathroom I looked in the mirror,I saw bright green eyes chin high auburn hair and a witty smile, all my friends said I was beautiful but to me I looked normal nothing special but I can't control my friends thoughts.

Excuse me, Miss Quinn what is taking you so long?

Girl problems be out in a moment. so I washed my hands splashed water on my face and walked out to another two hours of painting.

Keep going! You can do better than that! For Pete's sake, straight lines!

Finally after being yelled at for two whole hours she left, I had nothing better to do so I texted Ashlen

Hey. after about five minutes she answered

Hey how are ya girly

I laughed Good, you?

Fine as can be when your step mom is giving you crap

that sucks what for?

I didn't clean my room.

how bad is it?

not very few clothes here and there, a piece of garbage nothing insane

Really? It is your room and frankly you are insane

Ok nothing bat crap crazy

Gosh when did you start saying "crap" so much?

When my step mom started giving me it.

makes sense in a messed up way

Well I'm messed up

Yes you are

I gotta go another lecture time, yippie

k bye text me

if I can

I tried to think of other things to do, my room was spotless, but the bathroom was a huge mess, I grabbed the cleaning supplies and started scrubbing. Cleaning helped me think, some people have reading, others have music, me, I have cleaning. after I was done, the bathroom looked amazing, I walked around looking for other things to do, that's when my mom slammed the door.

crap. I thought mom is in one of pissey moods, so I went into my room and closed the door (to make her think I'm taking a nap or something) and just as soon as I did that I heard her yell

I am going to kill that man! I waited to hear more.

Just because I was going away for the weekend does not mean he can friking sleep with that slut! ouch I thought, ever since my dad died, she'd been dating, a lot! and I guess her current boyfriend had just cheated on her. I knew I couldn't let her stay mad, that would bring h*** on us, the Quinn family Me the youngest, my older sister Kalie, and the oldest Harry, and my mom Lindy Quinn, so I walked out of my room and said

Mom I heard what happened, don't think about it he's a jerk who doesn't deserve you, you are a beautiful young lady who can get whatever she wants

Thank you dear, and you're right I'm not going to give that son of a gun the satisfaction of me crying over him I'm going to find a guy who will respect me for who I am and not cheat on me. this is usually what happens, she yells and cries I give her a pep talk and she makes the same declaration and keeps finding more guys to date.

Ok you do that, I am going to make dinner.

Good idea, thank you Cody, your the best daughter I could've asked for, I love you.

Love you too, mom.

That was easier than normal she must have not liked this one as much, usually she's either screaming about how she'll never find the right man, or how all men are going to dump her or cheat on her, so this is way easier than normal.

What's wrong with mom? asked older brother Harry.

A guy cheated on with a and I quote slut

ouch, you calmed her down?

Yea I knew it'd bring h*** to us if I didn't.

Good call.

thanks. then he walked away, that's our usual conversation, just short and sweet not super deep. I was about to go into my room when I heard glass break.

Crap. I thought
