Ch.1 Finally, it’s Friday. That means two days of freedom from the demons of Dieruff high school. I honestly can’t wait to get into bed which is scary because i’m always dying to get out that hell hole I call home. Normally on Friday’s nights, I could count on mom and dad being out having their precious date night, but that hasn 't happened for a couple years since we’ve moved to Asheville.

We played Xbox one night and then I woke up the…

We’re just getting some more food for us.” Betty kept a close eye on her sister. After the maid left the front door, a burly man with…
