"Shut up." She grunted at the displeasing sound, facing down against her pillow. Casey forgot to shut off her alarm clock last night. Smacking the palm of her hand around on the table searching for the clock. It was now silent again, taking a quick glance at the time it was around 8 o'clock. It was now Saturday with another day of bright clear blue skies. She could hear water running from the shower in the bathroom down the hall. Her uncle was up. This is going to be a long day she thought.

Casey was getting dressed putting on once again her many layers of shirts. Topping it off with her ripped black jean jacket, and she placed her phone in her pocket. She then slid on her dark red burgundy Doc Martens. Her stomach started to rumble, she was hungry. Heading for the door she turned the knob and braced herself as she walked to the stair case.

Holding onto the wooden railing slowly gliding her way down to the bottom of the staircase as swiftly as possible. She made her way to the old outdated kitchen starring it down feeling a little blue.

Most families get to smell the morning goodness of bacon and eggs, along with the sweet aroma of freshly squeezed orange juice. What a treat she thought. She got nothing sadly, and there was nothing in this kitchen to make any type of decent meal. Taking quick paces to the fridge she opened it, there had to be something left. Just some old Chinese takeout, and a few ripped bananas. Mostly filled with beer bottles, and most of that was gone too. If anything, she leaned in forward grabbing one of the bananas from the back. Raising herself back up she closed the fridge, her shot up seeing her uncle emerge from around the corner. He looked at her in surprise.

"Oh, I didn't know you were up." He paused for a moment trying to fix his belt.

"Why are you up so early anyways?" He asked.

"My alarm clock woke me. I forgot to shut it off." Casey said turning around to grab a napkin from the counter. Her uncle continued to fix himself up and sat down on one of the chairs throwing on his work boots. Casey just stood there emotionlessly looking down at her food.

"Listen I was called in to work late, so I won't be back until later on tonight." He said as he walked with heavy footsteps towards the fridge. Pushing Casey out the way with his big frame, she immediately backed up. He opened it fast taking one of the beers out from the side of the door. Instantly realizing it was empty, there was nothing left.

"Son of a bitch." He shouted slamming shut the fridge. Casey just continued to stare down at the tilde floor silently. She was just waiting for him to leave the house already so she could have the whole day to herself. Her uncle took at long sign in annoyance reaching in his pocket for something.

"I need you to go out today, and get more beer, and whatever else." He said taking out his wallet as he walked towards her. Casey immediately looked up and backed away a little to have a little more space. Handing her a crisp one-hundred-dollar bill. Casey was about to reach out and grab it until John flicked it back before she could even take it.

"Then come straight back." His tone and aggressive expression were serious as he eyed her.

"But..., I'm only 17 remember?" She asked rolling her eyes slightly up by his stupidity.

"And? Go to Tony's place on the corner he'll know it's for me and bring your backpack." He said handing her the money finally. Finishing himself up grabbing his keys and phone he headed for the door.

"I'll be back. Don't get any ideas." Were his last words as he exited the house. She could hear the old pickup truck screech as it drove away.

Casey looked down at the money in her hands.
