What A Life

Chapter 1

I wake up with the sun shining through my window. I look on my nightstand, and see my clock says 7:50 am. I lie back again, and sigh. "Noah!" I hear my mom yell, she has that slur in her voice so I know she has been drinking again. I climb out of my bed, and I see the acceptance letter. I start to pick it up, and then I hear her yell for me again. I walk downstairs, and see her sprawled out on the floor. "Mom, were you drinking again?" I asked her already knowing the answer, even if she told me no. "No..." she managed to get that last word out and she passed out. I walked to the closet and pulled a blanket out, and then covered her with it. I look around and see all the beer bottles lying on the floor, I start to pick them up and then I didn't notice the broken glass that I was about to pick up. "Shit" I whispered watching the blood trickle down my hand on to the beer bottle I just dropped. I walk to the bathroom and start to clean my hand up. And then I wrap it up and call my friend Rose. "Hey, can you please come pick me up, and bring me to the hospital?" I asked her as I tied up my hand. "Sure, what happened?" she asked me with concern. "I was picking up some glass, and I cut my hand bad. I'm going to need stitches" I told her, half lying, half telling the truth. I never told any of my friends of my life at home. I've never had any of them over either. I don't think I let them see what I really live like. It's embarrassing to let them see what my mother is like, especially if she's drunk. HONK. I look out my window, and see my Rose, sitting in her little Red Convertible. HONK! She honks the horn again, I gather all of my stuff up, and then walk out to the car. She looks at the bags in my hand. "What's all that for?" She asks me raising her eyebrow. "I am going to spend the night with you." I told her. She gave me a questionable look. "When did I say you could?" She asked me with a little bit of annoyance in her voice I give her a look and she sighs. "Fine, whatever but only one night." She tells me, knowing that I will be staying longer than that. "Thank you." I tell her with relief in my voice. Which she noticed, because she asked me if I was okay. "I'm okay, don't worry about it." I told her hiding my pain. Then it hit me that I still haven't read my letter from Troy University. I grabbed my bag and took out the letter. I looked at it, deciding if I should open it or not. "Look what I got!" I squealed waving the still closed letter in Rose's face. "Oh, well have you opened it yet?" she asked me, looking at me knowing that I wanted to open it. "No.Can't you tell?" I told her, flipping it over so she could see the back. "WELL, OPEN IT!" She yelled. "OKAY!" I yelled back with excitement in my voice. I tore the back open and slowly opened the letter.
