Chapter 6:

I feel somebody shake my shoulder and blearily blink my eyes open, my eyes adjusting to the bright room slowly.

I look to my left and see Shane standing above me.

"Hey Raven, do you want to go to your bed now, you can't be very comfortable here, and don't think about your cousins, if they're not nice again you can come and tell me and I'll figure something out" he says kindly, chasing me to nod and slide my hair away from my eyes.

I swiftly crack my knuckles and back as I get up before haphazardly walking towards the dreaded door, my cousins probably all sitting behind it, ready to be obnoxious towards me again.

My phone is in my pocket, and my backpack is in Shane's room still, a few bottles of formula in it.

I've only drunk one today, which isn't good, but I just haven't had the time, and I don't exactly want to add onto the stress of hiding drinking that when I have other things to deal with right now, especially since I'm becoming increasingly more tired by the second.

I've decided that, although Shane said he would sort something out, that I'll just deal with it and sleep with my headphones on of need me.

Sighing, I pull the handle down and enter the room.

And that's when I notice my bed, the cot furthest from the door, covered in soda, the empty bottle on top of my duvet and pillows which are both drenched and sticky, the crusts of the pizza also thrown onto it.

Now I don't know what I'm supposed to do, I don't want to tell Shane and be a hindrance once again but I can't exactly sleep on my bed.

I guess I'll just have to sleep on the sofa.

Sighing, and turning to leave the room, I notice footsteps coming close to me.

"We thought you were trash and you were gone, so we used your bed as our bin, I hope you don't mind" Chantelle says, a sarcastic giggle at the bed of her voice.

I don't say anything and leave the room, closing the door behind me and walking towards the sofa and laying down on it.

I lay with my head on a pillow that's on the corner of the L, and I pull the blanket I was using earlier close to my body.

I don't even have Snorry with me so I know it's going to be hard to sleep.

Just as I get comfortable, and I feel my eyes slip closed I hear footsteps and internally groan, why couldn't today have gone right?

The footsteps stop as they get closer to the sofa.

"Raven?" He voice, which I recognise to be Rylands says "what are you doing here, I thought Shane told you to go to your bed?" He questions me, causing me to sit up.

"I-well, I can't sleep in there" I say, and then I hear another voice.

"Ryland who are you taking to?" Shane asks, before appearing from, what I assume to be, the kitchen.

"Raven what are you doing down here?" Shane says, studying my face and saying almost the exactly the same thing that Ryland said.
