THE NEXT MORNING, I WOKE UP AND LOOKED THROUGH MY PHONE. I saw I texted a random number. I felt bad. How did I mess up so bad? This person lives in LA!
Jesus I need to lay off the cigarettes.

I STARTED GETTING DRESSED LIKE NORMAL, HUMMING TO MYSELF AS I LISTENED TO MUSIC. I listened to Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.
I made sure my body was covered from any bruises showing and I snuck out of Zoe's house and I went to my house. I came home and said, "I'm home!" So my dad would hear me. "At Zoe's again?" He asked, making himself a cup of coffee. I nodded. "Tell me next time, Scar." I nodded.
"I made pancakes for breakfast and your strawberry banana smoothie." Owen says. "Your smoothies just taste different from how I make them." I giggle. "How?" He asks, smiling. I shrug.
"How's Zoe anyway?" He asks. I wanted to tell him about all the abuse but I just...couldn't. So I lied and told him how good she was being towards me. She's been abusive for around 3 months. But I don't dare tell anyone.
"That's good." My dad says. I just fake smile and nod. I eat my breakfast and drink the smoothie Owen made me. He sat down across from me and started eating as well.
We share comfortable silence most of the breakfast. Normal day at the Strand house. It's either very chaotic with all the talking or quiet. "Where's Mateo?" Mateo is our co-worker that lives with us. It's surprisingly not awkward...
Most of the time.
Basically his house went kaput because of his dumbass roommates and since TK lives with Carlos, we had an extra room. We invited Probie into the extra room. "With Nancy." Nancy is Mateo's girlfriend, we recently just found out. She's a paramedic and Mateo did good at choosing her.
My phone dinged. I sigh and check it.
ZOE
Where the fuck are you?!
None of your business
I know you are off for 24 hours meaning you don't have work. Tell me where you are
No All you'll do is hit me again and again I don't want that
Stupid slut I'm going to come find you And when I do you are gonna get beat like no tomorrow Because there is going to be no tomorrow when I'm done

"It's not puppy love, dad." "It's really not, Mr. Strand." "You both are 17. There for, puppy love."
