A light knock is heard from my door.

"Bailey wake up the Hemmings' are coming over for dinner" she says behind the door.

"I'm up" I say as I sit up from my bed.

I quickly realize that I have shorts on and jump off my bed and put on a random pair of black jeans on.

You see my mother is extremely against tattoos, piercings, and all that and well my legs just so happen to have a few "satanic ink" is what my mother calls them.

I walk over to my mirror and Q-tip, and wipe away any smudged makeup from under my eye from my nap.

I walk out of my room and up the stairs to the kitchen to where my mother was making spaghetti.

"Do you need me to do anything?" I ask secretly hoping she'll just shoo me away, but with my luck she asks me to set the table.

I grab napkins and silverware and place them on the table neatly, making sure it's to my mothers liking.

The door bell rings and I walk out of the dinning room to answer the door, I turn the door knob to find a lady with blonde hair and her husband as well as 3 other "men".

"Oh Bailey it's so nice to see you again!" Mrs. Hemmings says as she pulls my tall figure down for a hug, I hear a few chuckles in the background.

"Yes it's been a little while" I say with a smile "please come in" I add

I've only ever met Mrs. Hemmings once at the mall with my mother while we were shopping for my friends birthday.

"Oh I almost forgot! This is my husband Andrew" she points to the man standing beside her "my son Ben, Jack" she points to I'm guessing the only siblings "and my youngest son Luke" she says while pointing to a tall lanky boy, with a few tattoos covering his arms, and small lip ring on his lip.

Not gonna lie he's very attractive, but seems like an asshole,

I smile and shake their hands but when it came to Luke all he did was scoff at me.

What the fuck?

I shrug it off and I walk them to the dinning room and we all take out seats.

"Anna!" Mrs. Hemmings screeches while pulling my mother into a hug, she must love giving people hugs, I giggle to my self, which makes Luke who's sitting directly across from me look at me with confusion, again I shrug his expression off and turn to my left and begin to talk to his brother Ben.

Ben is very charming and sweet he cracks a few jokes and compliments which cause me to giggle and playfully slap his arm, every now and then I glance over at Luke and see him death staring at us.

My mother walks back into the dinning room with a bowl filled spaghetti.

After the spaghetti was practically slapped onto our plate everyone dived right into their food.

Still feeling Luke's stare onto my I picked up my salad fork and twirled the slippery noddles around it, just as it was in my mouth my mother kicks my leg.

"Ow!" I help in pain "what was that for?" I say as I rub my left leg.

"That was your salad fork" she says glaring at me "I didn't waste my time teaching you proper silver ware use" she adds.

By now all eyes were on us.

"Anna darling perhaps there's a better way to get your daughter attention" Mrs. Hemmings says sweetly.

"She is my daughter I will get her attention any way I want to" my mother fires back, Mrs. Hemmings just sighs and takes a bite of her garlic bread.

"So Bailey honey have you thought about what you want to do after you finish high school?" Mrs. Hemmings asks.

"Well-" I begin to say "she wants to be a doctor isn't that right Bailey" my mother says through her teeth.

"No" I say which causes a small gasp to escape my mothers lips "you know I hate that stuff plus my grades aren't even good enough to get into a school for that" I say.

"As I was saying Mrs. Hemmings" I behind to say "oh call me Liz" she says with a warm smile which cause me to smile as well. "I'm hoping to get into an art school for photography" I say cheerfully.

"Oh photography is a great career path" she says "you can do so much with photography! You could travel all around the world!" She says with excitement.

"Don't encourage her into a garbage career!" My mother shouts.

What has gotten into her lately

"My daughter will be successful" she says and takes another bite of her food.

"What do you Luke" she says sarcastically.

"I uh" he begins "I'm in a band actually" he says awkwardly and looks at me, I just give him a small smile.

"Oh" my mother says surprised by his answer.

"What do you plan on doing after you band crashes and burns? Have you thought about that?" She says rudely.

"Mother that was extremely rude!" I shout surprised by what she had just said.

"Oh be quiet" she scoffs.

"Anna I would appreciate it if you did not talk like that to my child" Mrs. Hemm- shit Liz says as she stands up.

"We are leaving" she says "now!" She adds with a shout.

I walk over to the door with them and apologize to Liz about my mother "it's not your fault" she says sincerely and pulls me into another hug.

I walk over to Luke "hey I'm really sorry about my mother she's never this bad" I say "it's fine" he says coldly

We all say our goodbyes to each other and they all walk our to their vehicle.

Once I shut the door my mother comes stomping towards me.

I'm surprised smoke isn't coming out her ears!

"See what you've done you've ruined the night!" She shouts.

"How is this my fault you kicked me!" I fire back

"Don't you talk back to me!" She shouts again.

I'm pretty the neighbors can hear us by now.

She walks away fuming, thinking she had given up she comes back with a wooden roller running towards me.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! YOU- YOU PSYCHO!" I scream and I quickly pull on my black Converse and running out of the door.

Running down the street I realize I have no where to go I can't drag my friends into this so I don't bother to call them.

I begin to walk and I don't plan on stopping.

...

It's been 4 hours since everything happened it's currently 12:00 a.m. And I walking down a random street.

I beginning to feel exhausted so I walk to the park up ahead and lay down on the bench and slowly cry my self to sleep.
