I woke up to my alarm and then got up from bed, I rubbed my eyes and walked to the window, I opened the curtains and then made my bed.
I walked to the bathroom and showered.
Then I grabbed some clothes and slid into them.

Then I curled my hair and did a little makeup.
I walked downstairs and my dad was sitting there drinking his beer like always,
I walked to the kitchen and then made myself a fruit smoothie.
I drank it as I went through Twitter and Instagram.
"Sierra" My dad walked in
I looked up
"Throw this in the trash" He said throwing me an empty beer bottle
I nodded and thankfully catched it.
Then I walked outside and threw it out.
I sighed as I looked up and saw a small girl playing with two people, I assume were her parents.
I looked back down and then walked inside.
I grabbed my phone and some money and then walked back out of the house.
I hopped on my bike and just went around the neighborhood.
Then I left the neighborhood and went into a cafe, I ordered a coffee and sat down.
I looked up, feeling a stare on me.
I saw a blue-eyed boy staring at me with a smile curled up on the end of his mouth.
I smiled at him and then looked back down, biting the top of the straw, looking at my phone.
Then I saw from the end of my eye, him standing on the side of the table.
"Hey" He said as I looked up
"Hi" I said
"Mind if I sit?" He asked
"No" I said shrugging
He smiled and sat in front of me
I looked back down and leaned my head on my hand
"I'm Daniel" He said breaking the silence
"Sierra" I said still looking down.
"Sierra!" A deep angry voice said
I looked up and saw my dad standing there.
"I- uh gotta go" I said grabbing my bag.
"Oh okay" Daniel said looking at me.
I grabbed my frappe and then put my bag in my back.
I ran to my dad
"Who told you you could leave?" He asked pushing me
"Sorry" I said
"Get the bike and go home" He demanded
I nodded and got on the bike.
I started going back and then arrived.
I went in my room and then waited for him to arrive.
"You are not leaving this house unless I say so!" He said coming in
Then he slapped me and a few tears formed in my eyes.
He walked out and slammed the door.
Then I sat on my bed and leaned back.
I never really knew why he became like this, when my mom was still here, he could be the best father I could have.
But when my mom passed, he started hitting me, even when he wasn't an alcoholic.
Then he started drinking and it became worse.
I just grabbed my guitar and played it sitting on my bed, looking at the window, as a few tears streamed down my face.
I didn't even notice, I was playing and writing songs all day and it was getting a little dark.
I sighed and put the guitar back in its case.
I walked downstairs and into the kitchen.
I opened the fridge and stared at it, it was almost full of beers and barely any food.
I grabbed some cheese and took it out.
Then I put it into slime slices.
I got some bread slices and then placed it there.
I put the cheese back in the fridge and closed the door.
I turned the stove on and then I saw my dad walking in.
"You fucking bitch, get back to your room!" He yelled
"Dad I'm hungry" I said
"I don't care, go back now!" He yelled
"I will just finish this" I said pointing at the stove.
"Go back!" He yelled way louder.
He raised the empty bottle and I closed my eyes, getting ready for what was about to hit me.
"Put the bottle down!" A female voice said
I opened my eyes and saw two policemen and a police female officer, the men pointing guns.
I sat there in shock
"You are gonna come with us" One said walking closer.
Then he took him and then handcuffed him as he glared at me.
I started crying, sweating and shaking, not hearing anything else, I was having a panic attack.
Then I felt two arms wrap themselves around me, my bison was blurry and I couldn't figure out who it was.
They picked me up and sat somewhere, I was just there crying, they started rocking me back and forth.
I cried harder, not knowing who it was.
"You're okay, I'm here" He said, as my hearing got better
"Jonah?" I cried
"Yes Sierra, youre safe" He said as he moved a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Where's my dad" I said, as my vision got back
"They're taking him to jail, but they asked me to calm you down since they couldn't" He said
I kept crying as he rocked me back and forth.
My breathing was hella fast
"Calm down, breathe slowly" Jonah said
I started taking long breaths and then managed to calm down.
"What's gonna happen" I said quietly, as I sobbed
"I don't know" He said
I sighed and dug my face into his neck.
"They're taking you to the office" He whispered
"Can you come?" I asked
"Yes, He can" A officer said
I sighed and Jonah picked me up.
He placed me in the backseat of a car and then went in next to me.
I layed my head on his shoulders as I silently cried.
"It will be okay" He whispered
I looked at him and then he kissed my forehead
"I promise" He said wiping my tears.
I nodded and he smiled, then I looked at the window and we soon arrived at the station.
Jonah and I waited and I just sat there, my head on my knees
"Sierra Parker?" I heard.
I looked up and saw a woman standing there.
I nodded and Jonah rubbed my back.
"Come with me please" She said
I got up and then walked with her, and we walked into a room, with aonly a table and two seats, making me scared and anxious, to make matters worse, she started asking questions, making me break-down.
At the end of that, they took me back to the waiting room, where Jonah was sitting, on his phone.
I started walking closer and he looked up.
He got up and I wiped my tears.
"I'll drive you home" He said
"Okay" I said quietly.
We walked out and went into his car.
As we drove, I just looked down, playing with my fingers, and it was silent.
As we pulled up, we got out and I walked to the door, about to open it, but I saw a paper.
I took it and furrowed my eyebrows as I read it.
"Great" I sarcastically said sighing.
"What?" He asked
"For not paying bills in a long time, we have evicted you from this house" I read out loud
"But it was fine a few hours ago" He said
"Shit" I said
He looked up at me
"Jonah my dad made this happen" I said
"What do you mean?" He asked
"The day I was gonna go pay the bills, I was about to leave and then my dad told me he'd pay them, so I gave him the money and he came back with beer...and I asked him about the bills, he said it was paid" I said facepalming.
"Oh god" He said
I peeked throw a window
"No no no no" I said noticing no furniture was there
"They threw everything out" I said
He furrowed his eyebrows and peeked too
"What the hell?" He said
I sat on the swing
"Great, no parents, no siblings, and now, no house" I said
"You can come with me" He said
I looked up
"I'll ask my mom" He said
"But Jonah-" I got cut off.
"No, Sierra, you need somewhere to sleep! I'm not leaving you out here" He stayed
I sighed
"Okay thank you" I said
He smiled
"Come on" He said
"Can we stop at Walmart to get some pajamas please?" I asked
"Yeah" He said
I smiled and then we drove to Walmart.
As we walked around the aisles, he called his mom, asking for me to stay, he explained it and then she said that I could.
We got me some pjs and then drove to his house.
We got out and he opened the door.
"Come in" He said
I smiled and walked inside, it was pretty late so probably everyone was asleep.
"Follow me" Jonah said
I nodded and he took me to his room.
"You can stay here, Ill sleep in the guest room, there's the bathroom and feel free to look around, you'll be staying here after all" He said
"Thank you Jonah" I said smiling
"Goodnight" He said
"Night" I said
He kissed my forehead and left.
I smiled and looked around his room.
Then I sat on the bed and just stayed there.
I bit my bottom lip, trying not to cry, since I started thinking of everything that had happened.
From the day my mom passed to today.
I failed at trying and silently cried on the bed.
I fell asleep.
