A/N: AS WITH 'NEW SCHOOL' I HAD A DREAM ABOUT THIS ONE. SINCE 'NEW SCHOOL' WENT OVER SO WELL THEN MAYBE I'LL GET LUCKY AND THIS ONE WILL TOO :P I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.

Chapter 1

I woke up to my little brother crying. I roll over and look at the time and see that it's 3:27 in the morning. I watch the doorway for just a little while and after 5 minutes I don't see my mom walk by, so I get up and check her room first… figures, she's not there. I go to the kitchen and make a bottle then take it into Chad's' room. "Hey Bubby, what's the matter?" I ask him as I pick him up "You hungry? Sissy brought you a bottle" I cradled him in my arms and sat in the rocking chair next to his crib as I fed him and rocked him until he fell back to sleep. When he did, I gently laid him back into his crib then went back to my own bed. As I lay down I caught site of the clock 4:12. I've got 3 more hours before I have to get up for school to catch the bus. I hate the bus, 2 more years and I can get my license. I can't wait.

As soon as I lay in bed I hear the front door open and shut so I get up to see and… Yep, there she is, mother of the year. This happens literally every morning. Mom comes home around 4 am, drunk as hell. Passes out, wakes up in time to see me off to school, she takes Chad to daycare then she goes to her job that pays her shit. We're barely making it and yet she somehow has the cash to go get drunk every night. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. "Were you out again?" I scorned my own mom, knowing the answer.

"Don't yell at me Katherine! I'm a grown woman, I can do what I want" she yelled, she was obviously drunk.

"Shhh, I just got Chad back to sleep. And I wasn't yelling mother, I was asking"

"Yes you were and it doesn't matter cause I can do what I want" she yelled again but not as loud as the first time.

"I know, you already said that. But you have kids to take care of. Me, not so much but I'm 14 years old and I'm more of a mother to your one year old son than what you are" I said with an angry tone. It was hard not to but I didn't yell cause I really didn't wanna wake Chad.

"Whatever, it'd be a lot easier if your father wouldn't have left us"

She must be extremely wasted to forget that, that's it… "Dad didn't leave us! You know as well as I do that 2 weeks after you had Chad, dad was hit by a drunk driver and was killed. And what were you doing tonight? Drinking obviously. And I bet you drove home too" I yelled and then I hear Chad cry "Damn it mom, you made me wake him up" that's the last thing I wanted to do.

"Let me get him" she offered with a slur. Sure she offered but it was also in that tone that said 'I'm gonna offer but I really don't want to'.

"No, he doesn't need to see his mother drunk off her ass. Go pass out like you always do" I yelled again.

"You little bitch" she walked up to me and smacked me across the face "Don't you ever talk to me like that again, I am your mother"

I totally waved off the slap and shot back with "A lame excuse for one. Seriously, go pass out and by the time you wake up we'll be gone" I stated

"Whatever" she said and went to her room. But I was serious. I went and got Chad back to sleep. Then I grabbed a suitcase, packed up my essentials then tried to get most of Chad's stuff together, made a few bottles and grabbed the money I had saved up from different babysitting jobs, which wasn't much. Once I made sure we had what we absolutely needed I put Chad in his carrier and we left, I was not gonna let him grow up in a household like that.

Did we have anywhere to go? Any family to go to? No, our mother is literally the only family we still have alive. Do I have any real friends to go to? No, I'm the stinky kid in school. It's not my fault we don't have enough water pressure for me to take a shower. I don't know how, but I'm gonna find a better life for me and my brother.

A/N: SO WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK OF THE FIRST CHAPTER? ALSO I CHANGED MY PROFILE AROUND, I HAVE A POLL UP. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF YOU LIKE THE NEW WAY.
