Chapter Two

C A R T E R

"Dad's sleeping," Charlie said, roughly brushing my shoulder on her way to the bathroom. 

"I don't give a crap," I mumbled in response. 

It was six-thirty am and I was tired. I was so tired I wanted to punch something, but that would wake my father up and no one wanted that. After his outburst the night before, my sister Charlie was still angry and quite frankly so was I. 

My father was a pathetic drunk, a pathetic man if anything. He divorced my mother for some chick in her twenties, and when she left him he got into drinking. When my mother died my dad got custody of my sister and I to his dismay, now he hates us and blames us for his unhappiness. 

The only reason I don't leave is my thirteen year old sister. She's becoming a teenager, a quite screwed up one. I couldn't blame her. Her mom died, her dad's drunk and abusive. I'm all she has and she's all I have. Charlie's grumpy and has a defensive personality, but I love her and understand. She's not that bad when you get to know her. 

"Can we leave?" Charlie snaps when I finish eating. 

"Yeah squirt get in the car," I answer. 

"Squirt? What am I six? I have a name, use it for crying out loud." 

"Yes, and that name is squirt. I intend on using it."

Charlie rolled her eyes and exited, closing the door in my face. 

I'm the best brother. 

"Hey!" I hear a raspy voice yell. "You're not going to school get your-"

I basically ran out the door before my father could finish. 

Screw him.

"Got everything?" I ask Charlie before going into school. I had to lock the door three times before she would willingly stay in the car. 

"Yes, can I go now?" she answers. 

"Get out of here." 

Charlie unlocks the door and bolts into school. I give her a minute head start before doing the same.

"Hey dude," my best friend Hunter greets. "How are you?"

"You just saw me yesterday," I mumble. 

"Is it your dad again?"

"Yeah, can we talk about something else? Any upcoming fights? I gotta pay rent soon." 

"Yeah man, tonight, ten o'clock," Hunter nods. "Winner gets three thousand."
