EVER SINCE I WAS a little girl I saw my brother pass out. It was just something he did when he was to busy in his head which was often.

I never knew what it was like, just blacking out and not remembering. Until now.

I don't know what happened after I passed out but I woke up in the locker room with Herman and Nikki above me.

'Oh gosh you're awake' Nikki let out a sight of relieve. She wasn't the type to worry about anything besides family, and seeing that we where like sisters she worried about me.

'How do you feel' Herman asked

'Exhausted' I said but my voice cracked and they both didn't understand what I said. I coughed 'exhausted'

'How can you be exhausted, you've literally done nothing in the last 2 days. Except soccer' Nikki said

'I don't know, it just started yesterday when I was wi-' you weren't going to tell them Ava.

'With who?' Herman asked

'Nothing, when I got home' I lied

'Ava I know you're lying' Nikki told her as I sat up and didn't tell her anything.

'Ava you can trust us' Herman put his hand on her back

'I know' she mumbled and let out a deep breath 'just yesterday after school I went to Alex's house and we where like kissing and about to do the act but then I canceled it and he got all mad. He basically commanded me to pleasure him and when I said I was tired he grabbed my wrist and commanded me again. He didn't grab it tight but it still is bruised.'

'Oh my god' Nikki grabs my hand and raised my sleeve 'he did this'

'It didn't hurt though, I swear' I tell her. I know that if I didn't say that she'll convince me to break up with him. She didn't like him from the start but I did so I ignored her.

'He's seriously an asshole' Herman mumbled and I scoffed. I know that this is true, I just don't believe that he's really like this. I'm convinced there is someone good inside there.

After school I went straight home with Nikki. I hadn't seen Alex all day. I tried to call him but he didn't answer, he's probably just sick home or something.

'So do you want me to come in with you?' Nikki asked me 'it's Friday, I can stay over'

'No it's okay, I'm just going to sleep. I have to be in good shape for tomorrow' I smiled at her

'It's his big game isn't it' I nodded.

Alex was the school's football captain. Tomorrow was his big game and I promised I would be there for him and seeing I was a bad girlfriend yesterday maybe I can make it up to her.

'Just call me whenever-'

'I know and I will' I cut her of with a smile and then walked inside.

I saw that my brother all ready was home and so was my mom. School had called home to tell I passed out so I will probably get a preach from my mom.

'Not again' I moaned when I felt a liquid drip out of my nose. Again, a nosebleed. Jesus this is a lot.

I cleaned it up and went to the living room where my mom was sitting.

'What took you so long?' She snaps

'Chill, I just had a nosebleed' i scoff

'School called' she told me when I sat down 'they said that you passed out'

'I did'

'Then why didn't you call me?' She was worried as always

'Because one, it's not a big deal and two, I knew school called you to let you know' I told her

'Ava, you passed out. You didn't listen to your body, I thought you where so good at sport?' She snaps again

'I am, I am good at sports. I'm just a little tired and went a bit to far. So what?' I snapped back

'You shouldn't be so lighthearted about this, you passed out. That could do some serious damage' She snapped back, this was turning into a fight.

'I'm fine, there's no need to be so up tight' I scoffed

'I'm taking you to a doctor tomorrow, I already called' she told me and I widened my eyes

'I can't, tomorrow is the big game'

'I don't care, I'm worried about you and we're going to the doctor' she stated

'Mom you worry to much, I'm fine'

'Clearly your not. You have random nosebleeds, you're exhausted, you passed out, this isn't normal' she now got stressed

'Okay maybe I'm not totally fine but I can't go to the doctor tomorrow. Alex is playing and I need to be there for him'

'Honey, there is only place tomorrow' my mom told me and I looked away

'Well tomorrow I'm busy' I shrugged and stood up

'Yeah, you're busy going to the doctor with me. Ava whether you like it or not you're going' my mom yelled when I walked away

'No I'm not' I yelled back

'Yes you are, even if I have to carey you there' she told me. I know that she literally could do this, she works out and is strong so she could carry me.

'Hey- why are you so mad' Brian asked when I walked up the stairs

'Mom's being a bitch' I mumbled

'Don't talk like that about mom' Brian told me and i rolled my eyes

'Mm.. yeah let me think- I don't care' i cracked a sarcastic smile

'Still quoting that stupid show' brian yelled as I walked away

'Friends isn't stupid' I yelled back, walked in my room and slammed my door shut.

Ugh, I hate my family
