Our Family

11:30pm.




Dad got really drunk, so much that he had me drive Ashley and him home. Blaise kept near me the whole time, but at least I got to meet Chris fucking Fronzak. I seriously idolize that guy for giving no fucks.

Anyhow, I'm sitting in my room decided on what to do tomorrow. Jack hates me, so the rest of the band will most likely be on his side. I need a new friend to chill with, but who? Ah fuck it, what happens happens. I go into my closet and pick out a outfit for the morning. I don't want to look like the wild child anymore. I just want to be normal. I don't want to be the girl that sits alone at lunch, the girl that secretly fucks her dad, the girl that wears more black than people at a funeral. I want to be a normal girl, and I want a new start.

I sneak into my dad's room, take his wallet from his side table and his keys. I drive down to Shopper's Drug Mart and buy some bleach for my hair and copper red hair dye. I drive home and get started on my hair. Screw sleep, sleep is for the weak. I bleach the faded purple out of my hair and deep condition it. I rinse it out after an hour and it's already 4:56am. I start dying my hair and by 8am I am a ginger.

I walk downstairs, all dressed and ready for school, and put on the kettle. I grab a glass or orange juice and bring some tea up to my dad.

He opens his eyes and smiles. "Good morning beautiful." He says holding his head.

"Are you in pain?" I somewhat shout to piss him off.

"Please don't yell!" He shouts.

He sits up and drinks some of his tea. "Your hair is different."

"Yeah, how do I look?" I ask.

"You look as beautiful as you have every single day of your life." He leans in a tries to kiss my lips, but I turn my head forcing his lips to kiss my cheek. "Is something wrong?"

"No, I'm just gonna be late for school. I'm taking your car, I'll see you after school." That was one of the most difficult things I've ever done, but it had to be done.





Lunch.


My first two classes went fine, I sat in the front row and focussed on the teacher for once. It was pretty great to understand the lesson for once. But now it it lunchtime, and I'm a loner. I walk in the line to get a slice of pizza, I'm not that hungry today.

"Hey Biersack," Chelsea says in front of me in the line. "You look all preppy, what's the occasion?"

"No occasion, I just like the look." I state and pay for my slice.

"The look suits you, do you wanna sit with me and the girls today or with your boyfriend?"

"He's certainly not my boyfriend anymore. And I thought you hated me."

"I hate your parents, not you."

"But why?" I ask, we take a seat at her table.

"Why is the freak here?" Heather snarls.

"Shut up Heather, she looks prettier than you." Chelsea says. The bully is now sticking up for me, I like this. "And Lily, the only reason why I don't like your parents, well really it's only your mom. I went to one of her concerts when I was twelve and she was being really rude and cocky on stage. Anyways, what happened between you and Jack?"

"I broke things off with him, and he didn't take it well." I state.

"Why'd you break up with him?" Bridget asks, Chelsea's other drone.

"I found someone else, someone I really do love." I profess.

"What's his name?" Chelsea asks. I can't say my dad, fuck! Um uh well I could say Blaise.

"Blaise Fronzak."

"The Blaise Fronzak?" Heather asks.

"Well yeah." I say and take a bite out of my pizza.

"That's awesome, can we meet him?" Chelsea asks.

"Uh sure." I say and the girls squeal as I continue to eat.

"Uh Lily can I talk to you?" I turn in my seat to see Jack.

Chelsea rises from her seat. "Trash like you doesn't belong anywhere near my table, so I suggest you leave now." She says. Jack looks at me, shakes his head, and leaves.

"Thanks Chelsea." I say.

"It's Chels to you." She says.

"Bridget goes by Bree and I go by Heth." Heather states.

"People usually call me Lils." I state.

"Yes, but you're known too well as Lils. Can we call you Lila?" Bridget asks or should I say Bree?

"Okay, I like that."


And then there was Lila.
