PENNY-
A giggle escaped my lips as Axl tells us that when he was younger and in high school he would go around and prank the teachers and they never found out it was him.

"What was your school life like?" Axl asked me

All attention turned to me and a blush appeared on my cheeks.

I hated being put on the spot.

"For the most part I made good grades my parents forced me in all AP classes and I worked hard played as many sports as possible joined as many clubs as possible." I say and lean back

"Hard worker eh?" Vince says

"Not that I wanted to be one, If my parents weren't so stuck up like they are I probably would've been a dropout had bad grades and never joined shit, I don't know I'm just glad I don't have to see them." I murmured

They all nod and Nikki nudges my side smiling.

I smile back and Doc rushes into our penthouse looking flustered. 

"Penny-

"Where is my daughter?!" I hear an all too familiar voice say

My stomach drops and I go pale and freeze up.

"I tried to stop her" Doc says

I force myself to turn around and I see the woman I had been avoiding for what? Seven years now?

"Martha" I say bitterly

"It's mother to you, your father is sick" She says and crosses her arms scanning the penthouse in disgust.

"So..?" I say and cross my arms

"You need to come back home" She spat and glared at me

"No I don't, leave now, or I will call security, I am twenty five for fucks sake!" I say getting angry

"You little ungrateful bitch, no wonder Jason put you in a hospital! Your crazy" She spat and left

I sigh defeated.

Why did she always find a way to make my life hell?

I step over Nikki and go up to my room.

I plop down on my bed and let it all out.

All the pain and sorrow and anger they let out on me in my eighteen years of living with them I let out.

I scream and punch the wall.

I shake the pain off my hand and plop down hot tears rushed down my face and my chest heaved up and down.

My door opens and Nikki popped his head in.

His smile was replaced with a small frown.

I wipe my eyes and sigh.

"I cannot let her get to me but she always finds a way to get into my head." I croaked

I felt the bed dip and he places his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm here if you wanna talk." He quietly says

"It's just..." i pause and think about it

"Have the guns guys left?" I ask

"Yeah they said they would be here first thing tomorrow" He says and I nod

"Then I wanna talk to you all" I say and he nods he softly grabs my hand and we stand up.

(...)

Once we were settled I take a deep breath in.

"Listen guys every time I tell you something from my past it sounds like a sob story, I'm here to say these aren't sob stories, but I wanna explain kinda my life with my parents or whatever they are.." I start

They nod listening

"Growing up when I was little It was pretty good, but when I turned ten it all turned to hell, my parents event though they tried to hide it they were huge drinkers, all types of fancy wine and champagne, they always projected their anger onto me my dad I remember one time..." I pause as my breathing increased

"It was the first time he had ever done anything like it, he uh, called me downstairs and I obeyed, he was drunk, he threw his bottle of whiskey at my head cutting my cheek, then he came for me pushing me down and kicking me non stop, I remember the laughter coming from him I remember my screams, pleads and cries for him to stop, he took one last blow and broke three of my ribs" I quietly say

Finally I got this off my chest.

"Damn.." I hear the boys say

"Yeah" I chuckle

"It's about bed time goodnight guys" I say and go to my room and change and go to sleep.
