The Troubled [COMPLETED]

Chapter Two

It's been eight years now and I'm sixteen years old and yeah I'm still with the same family. They actually care because they haven't sent me away even though I've been in the hospital many times just because they've found me passed out on the bathroom floor covered in my own blood. Or they've found me passed out in the kitchen because I tried to overdose.

Yeah I got problems, I've tried to kill myself, I'm constantly switching schools because they claim I'm too much to handle, or they claim I smuggle drugs. I mean they aren't wrong about that part but I mean if your going to have drugs you have to get creative when hiding them. Like when they search you, you hide the stash in someone else's locker, an easier target.

But still Mark, Jackson, and Jaebum still have me around. They still love me and try to get me all of the help I may need but it's all good because they don't see what others see, they see me as they're sweet little princess, well except for Jaebum, he claims I'm his little demon child. It's very funny.

We all get along and they always defend me whenever I get called out for something, "Zoey would never do such a thing, I know my little princess and she's an angel!" Jackson yelled at the principal.

"Well that didn't work as I planned." Mark stated. You see the whole time we were there consisted of Jackson yelling at the principal calling him a liar and then things escalated and so the principal told me to clean out my locker and get out. It normally happened like this but oh well what can I do about that. I'm just happy that I don't have to go to school for awhile until Mark finds me one.

Once we got home and Jaebum saw my bag full of school stuff he knew right away, "I take it Jackson's big mouth ruined it again for you." He said when Mark and Jackson came in, "All you had to do was stay quiet and let me do all of the talking!" Mark shouted. But of course Jackson was quick to retaliate, "If I waited for that to happen we would've never gotten out of there! You talk too much! Also why should I be quiet when our princess is being accused of something she never even did?!" He shouted back.

Meanwhile Jaebum had come back with a bag of popcorn, "Here the show will go on and we need some food for this shit." I nodded my head as I took a handful of popcorn, plopping it into my mouth. The combination of salt and extra butter because that's the way I like my popcorn.

The fight lasted about ten extra minutes before they started having a pretty heated make-out session, that was when Jaebum and I decided to leave.

I was in my room and got bored so I grabbed my stash of weed and headed out the window, I'll be back soon anyways so it doesn't matter, they won't notice that I'm gone.

I went into an alleyway as I took out a blunt and started it, I saw some bums out on the sidewalk coming in my direction but I quickly hid before anything could happen. Luckily they didn't notice me, once I finished I headed back home. But I had some money on me so I went and did a little shopping. Got some black nail polish, black lipstick, fishnet tights, a couple black hoodies and a pair of black jean shorts.

Once I walked up the driveway I made my way over to my bedroom window where I left the ladder and climbed it back up into my room.

Everything was the same as I noticed I was only out for two hours max. I laid on my bed looking up at the stars I had painted on my ceiling. Whenever I just needed a break from life to just think and calm my mind I would always look up at these stars. Of course I still miss my mother and brother sometimes even my father but I couldn't just dwell on the past forever. Plus I have a family now, one that excepts me for me, fights for me to prove I'm innocent when I'm actually guilty.

I mean when I got expelled today it was true I did snort cocaine in the bathroom and I did get caught but I didn't do more than two lines. I never do much but I mean I do it just to clear my head for a bit. I didn't even look like I was under the influence or whatever. I looked fine they couldn't find anything because I threw it all away in the dumpster behind the school.
