Just My Luck

Not You Again

I wake up to my father pounding on the door. I jolt from my sleeping position, my ribs throbbing as I do so. I tiredly open the door, barely nervous for what's to come because I'm so tired. He stands in the doorway, an angry look on his face. He also looks hungover and like he may have had a few drinks just this morning.

"Are you packed yet?!" He growls out.

"Is it not obvious?" I sass, my morning mindset not being the smartest. My head snaps to right as he slaps me. Tears threaten to spill out as I apologize repeatedly for the response.

"Stop talking you bitch! Just put your bags in the car. We leave in five minutes." He walks away from my door as I hold a hand to the left side of my face. The bruise on my face from two nights ago is sure to have worsened from that. I sigh before going back to get my bags.

     Once we get on the road, he seems to have calmed down mildly. I pull out my phone to send a message to Morgan.

Me: I'm not going to be coming back to school I think.... my father finally snapped idk where he's sending me

     I sent the message with hopes that she'll reply soon. It takes a few moments but she responds.

Morgan: WHAT?! WHATD YOU DO??

Me: Did you forget your dare for me already?

Morgan: Oh shit... I'm sorry man

The last thing I want is for her to feel bad. Shit, I'm so stupid. Why would I say that? She's gonna feel bad now and think it's her fault. I'm such an idiot. What's wrong with me?

Me: No no no don't be sorry I'm the one that took it too far that night

Morgan: alright I still feel bad tho...

Me: Don't, it's not your fault

Morgan: We can say it was a mutual faulting ;)

I have to smile at that despite the situation. We've only been on the road for twenty minutes and I have no clue where we're going.

Me: lol fine then

Morgan: what are you gonna do about school tho??

Me: idk maybe a boarding school

I'm mainly just playing along. He's probably going to drop me off on the road once he gets far enough away.

Morgan: this totally sucks tho I can't believe he's going this far

Me: I'm almost 18 anyway so I had this coming...

Morgan: C'mon that can't be true I'm sure he loves you

I almost snort in laughter at that. He's made it very clear that he doesn't.

Me: yeah maybe

Morgan: On a brighter note, you'll finally get away from this horrible school

Morgan: maybe the kids will be hotter there ;)

Me: lol any kids are better than the ones there

Morgan: true :( (except for Jess)

Morgan: speaking of which.... I gotta go Jess is coming over ;)

I smile at that. Jess and Morgan have an interesting relationship. They kiss and sometimes fuck but they still say they're just friends. I know Morgan wants to make it official but I'm not sure about Jess.
