Cough Syrup

1.

I hate you give you the terrible news, but your going to die,

Everyone you've ever loved is going to die and you will never be able to do anything about it.

Getting close to people is pointless, everyone leaves in the end, and so will you.

I contemplate these things as I the my hair away from my chubby face.

My - already greasy hair - was pulled back in to a ponytail and my uniform was well, not the most modest, but if I'm being real who's is?

The small rays of light creep in through the curtains as I rub the sleep from my drooping eyes,

I brought my bag downstairs and fetched breakfast.

"Andy?" I hear a voice call out,

"Yeah, yeah I'm up!"

My little brother Austin, emerges from the kitchen and laughs

"You look like microwaved horse shit,"

I grin at him and smack the back of his head, he snorts and walks out the door.

I enter the kitchen and see darling ma and da simply avoid each other.

I roll my eyes and walk out the door, pancake in hand,

And that's when the rain started,

It was a race to me, who could drip to the edge of the window pane and disappear,

"MOVE!" I hear mum call from behind, her thick blonde hair was pinned up into a bun for work and the dark circles under her eyes really needed concealing.

I move off the windowsill in search for a new space to calm myself then I realised I still had seven hours of school.

Fuck.

The air was cold but warm. Like how an radiator would feel to cold feet, cold but warm.

I keep my head staring towards my feet inline with the concrete. My bus had arrived and I enter it looking upon the eyes of sickly looking school children.

"-No its shit I can tell you that!" I hated lunch, usually because of the fake bitches in the school, the loud roars of overly excited girls running around in search of their 'friends'.

Two,

Years from now I will ultimately say I had two friends. Both I considered family, one more than the other obviously but it felt strange being oblivious to others around who claim to be friends with one another.

"HELLO?" Darcy says into my ear while clicking her fingers in my face, her short blonde hair was probably the only good quality she had, other than the big tits,

"What?" I swat her hand away and scoff.

She snorts to herself gesturing me to say something but to be honest I really could care less about her.

Lessons go by till I finally walk out of those school gates and am free,

The rain had soaked nearly everything making the sky look like a huge dirty sock,

I liked it.

My feet trumped heavily along the pavement to get home, I didn't want to get there, I didn't want to go there.

I waited till the sky turned dark and the moon and stars alit the blank black canvas.
