Messed Up Shit

Family is a Mess

"Athena, it's time to get up!" my mom shouted from down stairs.

Why must school start now? It's way too early to be getting up, with these teachers thinking we about to do some work.
I stay in bed, not wanting to leave the comfort of my warm bed. You know how it is when you're all warm and if you move, all that warmth disappears.
Well, I was all warm until I felt cold water land on me. I get up to see my sister running out my room.

"Iris! I'm going to kick your ass!"

I jump out of bed and chase her to her room. Right when I was about to get her, mom pulled me back and I fell on my back.

"Athena what have we told you about that type of language in this house?"

Oh shit balls. She's mad. When my mom's mad, hell is about to break loose.

" But mom she pour-"

Before I could finish my mom interrupted me.

"No buts. Go get ready for school! And if I hear you and Iris arguing again you both getting your ass beat."

This lady crazy. I don't care anymore, but if Iris comes again I'm whooping her ass. I go take a shower and brush my teeth. When I'm done I walk to my closet ready. I look around my closet.

'Yup there is nothing for me to wear'

I check my phone for the weather, but I see a message pop up. It's from Demian. Demian is a boy I've had crush on for forever. He is cute, smart, funny, and plays basketball. He knows I like him and he likes me too. But neither of us have the guts to ask each other. I smiled knowing I got a text from him.

Hey Athena- Demian

What's up

Nothing I just wanted to tell you get ready for a surprise when you come to school ;)-Demian

Okay... I'm going to get ready so ttyl.

Bye-Demian

I threw my phone back on my bed and went back to my closet. Now I have to look nice. Wait what's the weather outside? I pick my phone back up remembering what I was going to do. It's going to be 50℉. Shit, dude. There's no looking nice in that cold. I went to my closet and picked out some jeans. With my favorite Mickey Mouse shirt, a long sleeve, black cardigan, and black converse. Then I pulled my purse on my back.

Converse are life. I have about 7 pairs of them. If you don't like them fuck off.

When I'm done I get my thick black rimmed glasses and a black beanie. I may dress like a skater, but I'm actually a skater. A skater who rides roller blades. I tried riding a skateboard and I fell then rolled down a hill.

I walked out my room passing the bathroom to get to the stairs. I heard Iris singing in the shower, so I might as well get my revenge. Know this everyone, in my family takes hot showers, even in the summer. I go in the bathroom seeing the same cup Iris probably used to pour on me.

I put some cold water in it and wait till Iris is done. When she draws the shower curtain back I throw the cold water on her. When I do I run down stairs.

"Athena you're dead when you get home!"

Apparently she doesn't know I get home till 7 today. I have dance practice. I laugh it off and walk into the kitchen. No I don't have the mom who makes me breakfast. I go get an apple and walk over to my mom in the living room watching TV.

"Bye mom."

I kissed her on the cheek.

"Bye sweetie. "

I walk out the door still with my apple in hand and my purse on my back. It takes me a while to get to the bus stop, so I just think on the way.

Today's topic is my family. I've only talked about my mom and little sister, being Iris. I have 2 and a half more. I have a older sister, Dione, a older brother, Apollo, and another sister, Leah. Leah is my half sister. She lives with her mom far away from here. We live in California, while she is in Ohio with her mom.

Apollo is the oldest, then it's Dione, then me, lastly Iris. I have a dog, but since school wants us up at the crack of dawn I don't see them in mornings much. She's a husky named Coco. She's the main reason I'm alive right now. With all the shit in my life. She's the sunshine.

My older brother and sister moved out so I don't see them much. They're the lucky ones. They got to leave this hell hole already. I still have 2 years then I'm done and Iris has 6 more. Poor her.

This place really is hell. My mom and dad argue all time. Why marry someone if you two can't get along? I don't get it. But one day they took it too far making me not wanting to run away but kill myself all together.

My family is a fucking mess.
