The Teenage Struggle

Chapter Four

"Steve, what are you doing here?" I looked at him surprisingly.
Chris pushes him aside and comes towards me. "Carly, can you give me a second chance?" he asked.
"The only second chance I'm going to give you is when you will be the last person in the whole universe. You're an ass. You took all my brother's money for your filthy drugs." I said stubbornly.
He looked at me like if I were his mother.
"Guys! I'm very sorry. Forget I was here. This was supposed to be Vanessa's birthday and I took all the attention. I'm sorry. I'll just let myself out." I said respectfully.
"Steve! Come with me now. Sorry Vanessa." I said.
Steve and I just left the place and went outside the house.
"What are you doing here you moron?" I said hysterically. "I thought you were at home sleeping!"
"Yeah.. Vanessa is also my friend. And doesn't mean if you're 3 years older than me, I have to listen to you all the time." he explained.
"Whatever. Did you just see what happened?" I asked furiously.
"Yeah. It's no surprise that he is on drugs." he said casually.
"What do you mean?" I asked worriedly.
"Oh! You didn't know! He was on drugs for over a year. Well, you don't know everything about your boyfriend do you?" he said indubitably.
"Anyways, we don't have time to discuss. We Better get going before mum and dad see that we've disappeared." I said in a hurry.

Carly and Steve were on their way home before their parents realize they're not home. They just entered the house and all the lights from all the rooms radiated across the surfaces of the house.

"Steve! Carly! Carly! Steve!" said a loud voice desperately.
Mother just came down in her striped pajamas with tears on her face.
"O my God. I thought you kids were kidnapped." she said in a relief.
"Where were you this whole time!? I thought I told you to sleep! You children are grounded this whole week. You won't be aloud to go anywhere except of school." she said loudly.
"Oh come on mum! I know you're kidding." I chuckled.
"Do you think I have time for jokes? No. I don't think so. Back to your rooms and don't you dare of thinking to go out again." she said in distaste.
We lazily went up the stairs to our bedrooms.
Carly fell asleep. She began to dream all those terrifying dreams with Steve in the bathroom when it was all bloody. It began to rain heavily with a lot of thunder and lightning. From all the noise and disturbance, Carly woke up.

"Gosh! That was another terrible nightmare." I said.

Because of all the rain and clouds, it looked as if it was night time so everyone was asleep but in fact the clock just struck 7.

"O my!" said an awful loud voice.
I got out of bed and the rain has stopped and the sun was up.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"We overslept." Mother explained.
"Oh well. It's only 10:30. Mum, you and Steve can go and shop for food and some nice clothes. Today is a huge offer at the market close-by." I said expressively.
"Good idea. Father will be back tonight. At lease he got up early and on time." she said.
Steve and Mother left and I was left alone at home. I sat on the computer and was scrolling down on Facebook. At one point, there were over 150 photos at Vanessa's party.
Chris was making out with over 15 girls.
All of a sudden, I appear in most of them talking to Chris. There was even a video of me shouting at Chris that got over 1000 views. I'm so humiliated.
Night came over and it was almost midnight. Absolutely everyone was asleep and I decided to give a phone call to Jen.
"Hello?"
"Yeah.. Hi! It's Carly. How are you?" I asked shyly.
"Oh Carly. I thought you never wanted to speak again to me." she smirked.
"Well. I couldn't stand that. I just called to ask for how long you and Chris were together?" I asked nosily.
"Wow! We haven't talked for so long and you're asking me about the fake relationship I had with Chris? Wow. You're a great friend." she said.
She then hung up.
I fell asleep and the next morning I heard loud screams coming from mum and dad's bedroom.
I rushed towards the room.
"Mother, what happened?" I asked in a shock.
Her bed was covered with plenty of blood on the side where father sleeps.
"Your father was killed over night beside me I guess"
she weeped.
I began to shed tears and my heart was broken.
But the question was who killed him.
