"Where's the money john?" The man asks my father "I don't have it but I can get it please just give me more time" my father pleads, the man just laughs "I gave you time john" the man puts his gun to my fathers head and pulls the trigger and I wake up
The same way I have every morning for the past 3 months I can't stop the nightmares the pills my doctor gives me doesn't help either nothing can erase the day I watched my father get killed by a cold hearted monster.

My alarm goes off and I get up and get in the shower today's the first day of my junior year I decide to try and look alive today even though I know it won't stop the sympathy looks I've gotten since that day, everyone looks at me like I'm gonna break if they say the wrong thing "Alexa hurry up your gonna be late" my foster mother Angela says "coming" I grab my bag and phone and head downstairs "do you need a ride I can drop you off on my way to work?" "No it's fine I'll walk it's not that far" I say and put my headphones in and head out the door
Florida Georgia line starts to play as I walk and I turn it up and start to hum the chorus I feel someone bump my shoulder "hey I've been calling your name for the past 3 blocks" I look at the girl I've avoided all summer "sorry em I couldn't hear you" I say "it's okay how are you?" She ask just like everyone else "I'm okay" I say and smile my best fake smile "sure you are, but omg aren't you so excited it's junior year!" She practically yells I just smile and nod my head I've missed her so much I avoided everyone during summer including her she tells me stories about her summer when were finally at school everyone stops and stares at us for a minute em grabs my hand and we rush to the entrance to get our schedules we only have two classes together we head to my locker because we always just share I catch Mason looking at me and I wave and he just turns to his football buddies "okay?" I say "what?" Em says "what's wrong with mason?" I ask "I heard he became an asshole over summer" she says and closes the locker I look at him one last time and head to my first period which is health I take a seat in the back "good morning class how was summer?" Mr. Sullivan asks, everyone says good "we'll good because now it's learning time i hope you all sat somewhere you like because these are your permanent seats" he says and some people hurry up and move while he's writing something on the board the door opens and a boy walks in "why are you late?" Mr. Sullivan asks "I couldn't find your room" the boy says "we'll take a seat mr..?" "Jace Evans" the boy cuts in "we'll take a seat you've already wasted half my class time" the boy looks around there's only one empty seat and it's by me "mind if I sit here?" He ask me "yah " I say and move my bag "I'm jace"he says and smiles at me "I'm Alexa" I say and he smiles again "so are all the teachers in this school like him?" He asks, "no I think there's still a few good ones left"i say and we both laugh we spend the rest of the period talking about random things the bell rings and I grab my bag and head to my locker to grab my journalism book "hey Alexa how are you?" Some girl I don't know ask "I'm good?" I say more as a question "oh I'm Cassidy I was in your 5th period last year" she says "oh I'm sorry i." "it's fine I understand alots happened it's nice to see you" she says and walks away I barley get in the door of journalism and the bell rings "lex" em calls I take a seat by her Mr.shoenfeldt is late like usual Em and I have taken this class since freshmen year "hey your going to the bonfire tonight right?" She ask "I don't know I have a lot of work to do" I lie "it's the first day there is no work your going!, I'll be at your house at about 7 so we can get ready together" she commands "fine" I say the rest of the class period we work on our first story for the school newspaper
The rest of the day goes the same I found out jace has four more classes with me, and him and em are both in my lunch
the bell rings for us to go home I hurry to my locker em's already there "don't forget 7 o'clock" she says as she's walking out i grab my things and put my headphones in as I'm walking out i hear someone calling my name so I turn around and take my headphones out its jace "hey are you going to the bonfire tonight?" He ask "yah em is forcing me to go are you?" "I wasn't sure but since you'll be there I am" he says and smiles "I'll see you there" I say and walk away it takes me about ten minutes to walk home when I get there Angela is gone but there's a note on the counter -I have to work late but dinners in the oven stay out of trouble-Angela, I through the note in the trash and head upstairs to do some work and take a shower before em gets here at seven to get ready
