What's In Your Mind? (Krii7y) ✔️

Chapter 1

(Jaren pov)

"Wake up," I heard someone say, "or I'll make you walk to school."
I look over to where the voice is coming from. My father...well...he isn't actually my father but him and his wife adopted me after my perents disowned me at birth, I wish they didn't though, my real perents probobly wouldn't be as bad as my adoptive ones are . You might be thinking, "Oh Jeren, you're so ungrateful, they adopted you when nobody else would." But trust me, I didn't ask them to.

I must've spaced out for a moment before because the next thing I see is a fist coming straight to my face. I wince in pain, but I don't mind it that much, I'm used to it by now. "Answer me."

"Sorry sir, I'll get up now." I respond quietly. Father just grunts and leaves the room, slamming the door behind him. I reach over to my bed stand and reach over to grab my phone. I then turn it on and read the bright text on the screen.

One notification:
HelmetHead- ay you up yet?

Eric, otherwise known as Swaggersouls, Swagger for short, is my only close friend. He knows everything about me, from the abuse I suffer, to my mental illnesses. 'I should probobly respond', I think.

Milkyboi: yea, just got punched for no fucking reason though

HelmetHead: owch that sux

Milkyboi: just the norm

HelmetHead: you gonna be at school today?

Milkyboi: I have no choice so yea ig

HelmetHead: hey, only positivity in my Christian minecraft server

Milkyboi: stfu I need to get ready

HelmetHead: k cya at school

I turn my phone off and lay it on my nightstand. My face still stings a bit but by looking in the mirror, there was only a small red mark on my cheek. Thank god, I wouldn't want anyone to be suspicious.

I put on a large blue sweater to cover all the scars that line my arms. Next, I put on some black pants and some blue converse. I don't even bother to comb my hair, it doesn't matter. I grab my phone and backpack and head downstairs to the kitchen. As I peek behind the corner, I see my perents chatting. I walk in a go to grab a granola bar.

"The fuck you think you're doing?", my mother yelled at me as she slapped my hand away from my meal.

"Let me think about that for a second, oh right, I was going to eat something..because I happen to need food in my body every once and a while."I sass to my mother. I immidietly regret it when I feel a harsh punch to the gut.

My father punched me again, harder this time. I fell to the ground, aching in pain. "That's no way to speak to us dipshit. Apologize. Now."

I get up to my feet and looked to the ground. "I'm sorry for sassing mother and being rude."

"Good," my father spoke, "now get in the car before I make you walk your useless legs to school themselves."

I then turn to walk outside to the car, my stomach still painfully grumbling. Now that I think of it, I havnt eaten in a few days, but I've lasted longer so I think I'll be just fine with an empty stomach, not a big deal.

My father walks out of the house and gets in the car. The car drive is silent, as it always is. We arrive in front of my school and I open my door but before I can leave the car, my father pushes me out, closes the door, and drives away.

I sigh and think, 'I can already tell today is going to suck ass'

A/N- I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, I'll be alternating between Jaren and John's point of view so just know that as a reminder. Idk how long the chapters are going to be so sorry if some are short and others are literal novels. I'll update randomly so bear with me if it takes a while to update. If I don't update within two weeks, remind me, I'm a forgetful person oops. Anyways, cya next update!
