Voices in my head, screaming louder and louder

I got home and told my parents, I'm going to do my homework. They're always home early on a Friday. So we can spend "quality time" together even though they're working from home. I turned on my laptop and began searching for Tanner on every platform known to man.

Facebook. Nope.

Twitter. Nope.

Snapchat. Nope.

Instagram. Yes!

Just some bloody photos, him smoking, wearing sweatshirts. Only six photos. Hmm, maybe I should search his name on a people finder website. Tanner Luner. Ah, found him! Not much information though. Doesn't say anything about his parents, just this couple, Emily and Liam Cooper. I clicked on them and found out they're his aunt and uncle. Not much information on them either. Except Liam has a domestic violence court order. That's not good.

I got a text from Tanner. Just emojis, he wants to fight. But it's so early, six o'clock? I told him I can't, even though I want to so badly. Jake isn't home to cover for me. He's at football practice. But I told Tanner that there's a game tonight, we could work something out over there. He just sent emojis again. That means he game.  

"Mara!" My mom yelled. 

I shut my laptop and went downstairs. I didn't realize how late it was, it was dark in my room and my curtains were closed. 

"You were studying hard." My mom laughed. 

I fake laughed back. I feel like there's not much information about my parents. Even though they push me and I have to be perfect, they're my parents. I can't not love them and some of you would say I can, but I just can't. They're sometimes fun to be around when they're not pushing me or judging others. Which is rare, yes, but I cherish those moments. 

It was time for dinner. Meatloaf, prepared by our over paid nanny. I hate her, we call her nanny because maid is just too degrading. Although I wouldn't mind calling her a maid. The food was okay, which was surprising, I finished eating and went upstairs to get ready. 

I put a first aid kit in my backpack and some water. I get very dehydrated when I fight. Not sure why, but I do. I was all ready to go. I got into the backseat of my parent's car and we drove to the game. Once I was there, I quickly separated from them. I told Tanner to meet me behind the bleachers. And there he was.
