12; jared no

     Evan's house was about a block away from Jared's, so Connor was the last to arrive at his place. He inserted the key, twisting the knob. Zoe had already arrived, and Connor knew so since her bright blue Jeep was in the colossal driveway. Connor entered the room, noticing Zoe's prescene was absent, most likely hidden inside her room. Her voice was audible, but Connor couldn't make out the words. She was probably on the phone with Alana again. Connor closed the door behind him. Cynthia crept out of the kitchen, summoned by the sound, taking a break from fixing up dinner for the three. Larry was at work for the moment.

"Connor, why are you so late? You better not be out with that dealer again." Cynthia's voice was stern. Connor rolled his eyes so far back into his head he thought they would be stuck at that exact spot.

"I told you mom, I'm done with doing drugs." She didn't seem convinced. It was partly true, Connor was attempting to quit, but that wasn't exactly an easy goal. Connor did still keep a spare bag of weed in his room if the voices in his head were bothering him too much, it was the easiest and quickest way to tune them out. But that hadn't been touched since before the attempt.

"Then why did you come thirty minutes after your sister? Doesn't she pick you up?" Cynthia crossed her arms, not trusting her son.

"I walked with some friends." Connor said like it wasn't a big deal.

"Friends? Oh, Connor! That's wonderful! I'm so happy you are making some friends! My little b—" She reached for his cheek, but Connor sent the contact away with a gentle push.

"Mom. I'm seventeen. I don't need you babying me." He said in an annoyed tone, "I'll be in my room." He then stomped off without another word. He hated when his mother did that. He entered his room, where all his keepings were scattered all over the place. He tossed his bag in the other direction of the room, while flopping down on his bed. He wasn't in the mood for homework. He pulled up Evan's contact on the cracked screen. He had thrown it on several occasions he didn't feel comfortable mentioning. More than half of the times it was because of one of his episodes.
