Under The Mask

Introduction

My life is perfect. I have an amazing house, amazing friends, and a great popularity status. Oh and don't forget about my amazing boyfriend.

Hold up let me back up for a minute. My name is Makayla Mae Prescott. I'm. 16 years old and I live in Los Angeles California. I have long blonde hair(that I can literally do anything with) and vibrant blue eyes. I'm average height about 5 feet 3 inches. I'm really tiny and skinny though. Only 97 pounds. Now before you ask, no. I am not anorexic nor do I have any other eating disorder. In fact, I'm the farthest thing from an eating disorder. I eat and eat and eat. Constantly. I guess I just have a very high metabolism. Okay let's go back to my story now.

So as I was saying my life is pretty much perfect. The only thing that isn't perfect are my parents. They are constantly fighting. Over the big and little things. It's hard on me and my little brother Kaydn. I mean we know that the only reason my mom and dad are together, is because of us. If we weren't here they would've left each other a long time ago.

They have been 'happily' married for 18 years. The thing is, when they got married they were young. Really young. Only 19. So they made a huge commitment at such a young age. I'm pretty sure that's what screwed over their marriage. The thing is, they could have prevented it. They could have listened to everyone telling them to wait. But no. They didn't.

Everyone told them, "oh you guys are so young. Explore around more." And "Kylee this is not a good idea. You and Brock are 18. Live your lives. Don't make this commitment." But did they listen? No. So I guess it's there own fault.

Now I know I'm not being very nice towards them, but that's because I'm currently mad at them. See throughout tonight they have been awake all night fighting. Screaming at each other. It has also kept me up all night, and it also scared Kaydn senseless. He came into my room around 2:00 this morning crying. All I could do was comfort him and wait for them to stop.

Finally around 4 this morning the screaming stopped. Kaydn fell asleep and is currently laying sprawled out on my bed. I'm sitting here on my desk chair thinking everything through. I guess I won't be sleeping at all tonight now.

Oh well. At least it's Sunday morning and we don't have school later.
