the lost luna

I wake up to my step mother calling my name. “AVA GET YOU’RE A** UP HERE.” I get out of bed and when I walk up the stairs of the basement I get to the door. I open the door and I am hit with such a force that I fall backwards and hit the stairs. I slowly get up and see my step mother and father standing there. ‘Oh no what did I not do.’ They are both glaring at me as I stumble up the stairs again. I walk past them and see that both of them had come home drunk. Of course they did. I see there is broken dish’s everywhere and I see there things thrown around the floor. They probably were fighting last night. I start to clean up the mess on the floor and I look over at the one clock we have and see that it is only 3:00 in the morning. I don’t get up until 5:00 but now I have to clean this up or god only knows what they will do to me. “Oh look at my daughter cleaning up the mess she made last night while we were gone. When we were gone did you have a party. Did you have a boy over. If you did I swear to.” He stops to raise his arm. I cover my face and say “No I had no one here It was just me I promise it was just me.” I wanted to cry I only wanted them to show some love but I guess this is the best I get from them. They walked off to their bedroom and I finished cleaning up the shattered glass and the cloths. I walk back down stairs and start to get ready. I was already awake so maybe I can get to school early and not have to be stuck here at home. I get ready and see that it is now 5:00. I walk up to the main floor again and see the empty beer bottles. I pick them up and throw them away. How did I go from a loved daughter to a maid for two drunks who are never home. I would leave but they would search for me and then I might not ever be let out of the house. As they say I should be great full they let me go to school I could be stuck here all day. I really didn’t want that. I really wish my mother was here she would help me get out of here. Sadly dad killed her when I was only ten. He chocked her and I thought she had just fallen asleep again because dad would do that sometimes. Part of the time… nope he would do it all the time to her so I thought it was normal until she didn’t get up the next morning. I grew up with this in my life and so now I don’t care if they are here or not. I grabbed my things and I started to walk to school it was about 5:30. Maybe I can get a head start to school since I have to walk from my house that is in the middle of nowhere. Well I cant say nowhere but I do live 2 and a half miles away from the town. And then I have to walk ten minutes to get to school. So all together I have to walk for the next hour just to get to school. How fun but I do this every school day. That is what happens when my parents are past out. I walk out the door and lock the door behind me. I grab the key and put it around my neck. I start walking and I doesn’t help that it is a full moon and it is semi foggy. Now I cant see most things and I have to pray that nothing and no one pops up. I keep walking and I eventually make it to school. I walk into the school building o find my best friend sitting at a table alone. Is this what he does in the mornings when I don’t come early this. I walk over to him. I tap him on the shoulder and he turns to look up at me. Huh that’s weird why is he looking at me like that. Anyways not the point. “Hey stranger” I say to him. “hey” his voice is low and quiet. I wonder what is wrong with him today. “So I guess I will seek you in second period.” I say to him. “Yep” his voice sounds sad to me. I walk off to head to class and I sit in the back like always. I lay my head down from the lack of sleep I had. I fall asleep and I hear the bell ring a little while later.
