The loud blaring shocked me quickly out of my dream. I sat up confused, looking for the source of the noise. Oh. There it is. Smacking it quickly, before it could wake anyone else up, I jumped out of bed and stretched.
Grabbing a towel, I ran down the hall towards the bathroom, and twisted the knobs deftly on my way past. Letting the water warm up, I looked in the mirror and sighed. My make-up had smudged, making it look like I was a raccoon. Great.
Pulling off my pj's, I jumped into the shower and shivered as the warm water hit my cold skin. Sighing, I tilted my head back letting the warm water wash everything away. I didn't even hear the door open.
Stepping out of the shower, nearly twenty minutes later, I bent down to pick up the towel. Straightening, I saw my father.
"Shit! Dad, I'm in the goddamn shower! Can you get out, like now?" I screeched, hurrying to cover myself. He looked at me through the foggy mirror.
"Raina, I will leave when I am good and fucking ready. I have a meeting, so I'm shaving, then I will leave." He snarled. I let my face go blank, letting his snarled words wash right over me, barely listening.
"Yeah, whatever Dad." I muttered, and reached beside him for my hair dryer and makeup case, accidentally brushing his shoulder.
"Raina!" He roared, and shoved me backwards. I squeaked and ran out of the bathroom. It's not even eight o'clock yet! I thought angrily as I plugged my dryer in and turned it on. Turning off the dryer, I heard a knock at my door.
"What?" I snarled, already in no mood for people.
"Come on Rain, let me in," it was Aly, my twin sister, although we couldn't be more different. She was into science and math, while I was into music and art. She kept her back hair long and wavy, mine was short, and spiky, with a bright blue chunk. But even though we were insanely different, we were always there for each other, especially when it came to Dad.
"Yeah, come in Aly." I called, making my way to my closet. She opened the door and sat on my bed, pushing off extra clothing and pillows.
"What did you do to aggravate Dad this early in the morning, dear?" She asked, watching me rummage though my closet, looking for a pair of Capri's.
"Basically, I breathed. What's it like outside?" I answered.
"Oh. He's in one of those moods hmm? It's warm and sunny. No clouds," she answered. Oh goody, I thought. I had the perfect outfit in mind.
"Well, I would assume so, Aly, he's got a meeting." I explained, "HaHA!" I pulled out a pair of black capris and held them up triumphantly. Aly turned her back, and I pulled them on. Fixing the chains that hung from almost every available hook, (I so added the chains myself hehe) I pulled a belt through the loops and fastened it. Aly turned around again.
"Oh, Rain, do you have to wear that kind of thing?" She asked shaking her head. I looked at her.
"No,"
"So why then?"
"Because I can,"
"Oh." I sighed and shook my head. We had almost the exact same conversation every morning. Turning back to my closet, I sorted though the pile, this time looking for a shirt. Smiling in satisfaction, I pulled out a red corset and held it to my chest.
"What do you think Aly?" I asked. She sighed and turned around again. Pulling the straps over my shoulders, I turned to her to help zip it up.
"I don't know Rain…I think it's missing something." Aly commented. I rolled my eyes.
"Well gee, aside from shoes, makeup and accessories, I have no clue." Sticking her tongue out at me, Aly surprised me. She went over to my closet and searched through my clothing. Straightening, she held out a skirt. I gaped. It would definetly look better than my capris.
"Wait. Aly. I've been looking for that forever. Where was it?" I asked.
"Behind your converse shoe boxes. On the floor." She answered, throwing it at me and turning around, again.
I pulled off the capris and pulled a pair of fishnet I'd seen lying on the floor by my bed. I stood there for a second, fixing my chains, when dad burst in.
"Raina!" He roared. Oh. Shit.
