Rayne's POV

It was Friday afternoon. the day before Caleb's party. Garrett and Amber wouldn't leave me alone after Caleb invited me. Garrett wouldn't stop moaning Caleb's name around me and Amber kept singing "Rayne and Caleb sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G..." and you know the rest. It was driving me insane!

But I wanted them to come with me. Everytime I thought about going to Caleb's party alone I would get butterflies in my stomach. I was to nervous so we all agreed to go over my house Saturday evening and get ready together.

I sat in my room staring up at the sky blue ceiling in thought. Why did Caleb even want me to come to his party? It's not like we really knew each other or anything.

Suddenly there was a knock on my door. I looked up to see Marilyn in the doorway with an angry look on her face. Something told me my Dad was no longer in the house.

"We need to talk." 

She stormed into my room and towered over my bed.

"Did you really think you could get away with getting my son suspended from school!?"

That's right. After the fight yesterday Kyle had gotten suspended for a week. Not for fighting but for bullying. I guess someone told the principal that Caleb was trying to stop Kyle from hurting me. But the punishment didn't stop there. Dad grounded Kyle for an entire month. No soccer practice, no soccer games, no friends, no parties, nothing. Kyle and Marilyn glared at me murderously the entire time. But of course they wouldn't do anything in front of my father. I knew at some point they would come back for revenge.

"You fucking faggot everything was perfect until you came here. You and your mother are a disgrace to this family and to god. You're an abomination! Stay away from my son. You'd be better off if you died!"

I couldn't do anything but stare at her. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop a few tears from falling down my cheeks.

She stared at me smirking. "Ew, you're so disgusting." She said finally storming out of the room and slamming the door.

When I was sure that she left, I let everything go. I sobbed into my pillow. 

Mom why did you have to leave me? You were the only one who comforted me when I was feeling this low. What do I do mom? Everyone hates me. I love you so much mom, please send me a sign from heaven. Please tell me what to do.

I couldn't help wishing my mom was with me. I missed her so much. 

I cried and cried until I finally fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling a little better. I walked into my bathroom to find a filled prescription bottle. It's my medication for my seizures. This must have been why my Dad left last night. He went to go fill my prescription. I decided to cut him a little slack he was really trying his best. I haven't had a seizure in a while though so I didn't understand why my parents and my doctors were so convinced that I needed to keep taking them.

I started to open the bottle but then I stopped. No. I would no longer rely on medication or other people to get through life. I threw the prescription bottle in the trash can. For now on, I will be strong. That's what my mom would have wanted. I will no longer be the helpless victim.

I walked out of the bathroom feeling happy with myself. I wasn't going to let Marilyn's words ruin my day.Around four, I called Garrett and Amber over to help me find something to wear to Caleb's party. All of my other worries were wiped from my mind as I thought about the party. I was so nervous and excited at the same time. It was the first party I'd ever been to.
