Wills POV
Will, wake the fuck up!
6:25am my digital clock blinking at me as the sirens of my alarm sound so loud they could wake the dead.
Crap today is the first day of school since Christmas break. Ugh, why does school have to start so early?
If youre not awake when I get up there! I swear to god boy!.
How do you politely tell your mother to leave you alone and shut the fuck up? You cant. Its pinned as rude but its acceptable if they do it?
As I swing my legs over the side of my double bed, aesthetically dressed in all black. I look to my left where my black matte desk sits. Messy papers from last nights attempt of studying clutter the top. I walk into my closet and grab my school uniform.
I hate it!
Once my ugly ass uniform was on, I started beginning to clear my desk and sort it into a neat-ish pile that Ill sort later after school.
I hear my mums steps as she staunches up the spiralling staircase towards my room.
Im dressed and have packed my books and my MacBook into my black schoolbag. Let me give you a run-down of my homelife. Dad left. When I was young, said he had to do it for mum, what a load of shit but anyways. Mum was born into the money, so as you could probably guess we are pretty wealthy. Grandpa owned the towns bank and many other organisations around the surrounding communities. Wealth doesnt always mean happiness though. When dad abruptly left, I think he might have taken mums happiness and a piece of her heart. She hasnt been the same since.
My door swings open and hits my wall harshly. What have you been doing? Its 7 oclock, come on man lets go
I think that mum secretly loves me but she has a funny way of showing it.

As we sit in the car listening to the radio, I think back to the fun times we had all those years ago. This habit of mine usually ends with the hatred streaming down my face. I reminisce about the time I was surprised with a husky puppy on my 4th birthday, I love this memory although it leads to a story that is complicated and messy. The times where he and mum would smile at each other, in love like teenagers. The times where we would play in the park, go to the beach; have a picnic. All of those events have made me who I am today, although there are worse events that have made me into the restricted, introverted person I am today. I have immense trust issues and have had a protective wall up that is the equivalent of a triple brick wall; no one is getting in.

Yo howve ya been?
Silence.
How are ya brother?
Silence.
You gonna talk to me? We talked all summer baby.
That last one was uncanny but Ill let it slide.

Mums late. Of fucking course. The first day of school and I have to stay here longer than I need to. She got stuck in traffic or some shit but thats just an excuse. I almost certain that shes out finding her new man for the week.
I sit down on one of the seats provided out the front of my school and get my MacBook out to work on the English essay we got assigned today, its due in 6 weeks but if I get it done then I wont have to worry about it.
10 minutes.
Ive got a really short temper and this shit is going to end up sending me over the edge.
25 minutes.
Where the fuck is, she?
I call her.
Message bank.
I try again.
Message bank.
Its a 25-minute ride in the car. Im just going to walk.
** 1 hour and 30 minutes later**
Im in my room, sweaty from the walk. No sign of anyone here. And that is the story of my life.
Dont you just hate it when people make promises they cant keep?
This time I believed her... itll be different she would say. Ill change
All lies.
I shouldve known better.
Why did I believe her?
