If Only He Knew...

Introduction

*••••First Person Perspective••••*
***Latisha's POV***

    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I look at the alarm clock and see that is says 6:00 am.
"LATISHA! GET YOUR BUTT UP!!" I hear me dad call up the stairs. "I'm up!!" I yell back. I have to make sure I don't talk inappropriately back to him. Ever since my mom died when I was 4 and my baby sister was 2 months old, he has been drinking a lot. For all his meals of the day he drinks about two bottles of beer with each one, so he does a lot of things he wouldn't do if he was sober. Right now I'm 15 and my little sister is 11. So I watch out for her all the time. Even when I go out with my girls, I take her with me.
After I get out of bed and rub my sleepy eyes, I head to my sister's room. She is 11 and her name is Lucy. "Lucy. Wake up, it's time for school." I say in a soft cooing voice. "Hmm...? La...Latisha?" she asks very sleepily. "Yes baby girl. Time to get up." "Okay." "We got to get dressed. Just
come into my room once you get dressed so that I can do your hair." I said in a caring way. "Okay, big sis." I walked out. I love her sooo much. I will guard her with my LIFE. I have to teach her what to say and what not to say to dad.
    I put on a cute outfit for school. A blue crop top, my black beanie that says "Whatever", my black high-waisted shorts, and my white Converse.

As soon as I was done putting on my clotes, I heard a knock at the door. "Lucy?" I asked hoping it was her. "Yeah, it's me, big sis." She came in with a cute black crop top, ripped jeans, and some colorful Jordan's.

I put her long light brown colored hair in a high ponytail. I told her to sit on the bed while I put my hair up. I just put it up in a messy bun. Then I put on some lip gloss. I didn't have to put on any lipstick because I have really red lips so all I had to do was put on some lip gloss to make them shiny.
    It was already 6:45 and school started at 7, so we just each got a granola bar, and left out.
    By the time I dropped Lucy off, and made it to my school it was 6:55. I ran to first period which was English. As soon as I sat at my desk, the bell rang. "Made it just in time." I said under my breath.
