Flipped upside down

Chapter 2

BEEP BEEP BEEP
Is all I hear from the left side of my head. Ugh another day in hell. I get up and put on my old Aeropostale shirt I got from goodwill and some jeans, also from good will. I have like no money because my mom spends it all on drugs.

I walk to my trashed bathroom and see my mom asleep on the ground with barf all over her. She has on a tight short party dress. I guess she went to a party last night. I brush my teeth and walk out.

I put on some off brand converse that I got a Walmart for 3 dollars and grabbed my book bag and walked out to the bus stop.

After about 5 minutes waiting on my old crappy flip phone the bus pulled up. I walk up the stair and sit in a seat. I feel little prices of paper hit the back of my head. I ignore it. I soon fell a paper back book hit me. It kinda hurt. I feel like I need to cut but I can't because if people find them I'll get ever worse than I have it now.

I arrive at school, or as I call it, hell. I get off the bus and walk into the large building. I walked up the stairs getting my usual trip and punch in the arm. Yeah it hurt like a bitch but I was used to it so I carried on.

I walk into first class " hey fat ass" says one on of the boys in my class. It's normal.

RINGG

yes schools out. I get on the bus and sit. Again getting hit and stuff thrown at me. It's about 10 minuets for my ride. I pull up to my house and see a cop in my drive way. "Shit" I mumble under my breath. All of the idiots go to the side of the bus my house is on. Great, now everyone will know about the cops at my house.

" hello" is all I say. The cop is big and looks scary.
" are you Nichole?" He says to me
"Yeah, that's me"
" well your mother was drunk driving and killed 3 people."
"Really?"
"Yeah, she is now in jail for a long time, and I'm afraid that you have nowhere to live. Do you have any family that would take you in?" Said the cop.

I thought and though. I could only think if my aunt. She lives in California with her 2 kids and her husband. I guess that's better than nothing right.

"My aunt, she lives in California" I said.
"Could you call her?"
I got on my crappy phone and look at her number.

It ringed 4 times then someone answered

{on phone}
Me- hey aunt Debbie, my mom is in jail for something stupid and I have nowhere to live now. Do you think you could have me stay until they find me anot-
I was cut off
Ain't Debbie - Nichole, you can live with me as long as you want, your room will be ready in 3 days. I love ya. See ya in 3 days.
Me- thank you so much, I love you.
And with that she hung up.

I actually felt happy.

I walked up to the cop and told him what happened on the phone. He said okay and we got into the car and drove to the station.
He faxed some papers to my aunt and asked me questions about my mom and stuff. I really didn't pay much attention because I was still really happy I was moving, maybe this was a chance to restart.
