A/N I decided to get second chapter up today, too. This is based off of "Perfect World"-The second chapter in "Welcome To My Life." I hope you like it! Please review!

His mind was now engraved with hurtful memories off what Josh said to him. He was trying to get help from anyone at this point. He was just too scared to admit it. They would just see him as selfish-desperate for attention. What else was new?

(Drake's POV)

Thunder…hmm…Walter was right for once…Maybe he'd help me? Ha! As if. It's not that he's a bad step dad, he just doesn't seem to be...he and I just don't see eye-to-eye. I'm hungry…what do we have for food…?

I opened the fridge, tempted by the chocolate pudding calling my name on the shelf. On second thought…I guess I'm not hungry. I guess I'll just drink some water. Eh…second thought…I'm just going to go to bed.

I felt something hit my head. A pillow? Ugh! Josh…of course.

"Mom wants you up. Time for dinner."

I looked over at the clock on my way out. How long was I asleep? It's six thirty now…who cares? Hm…maybe they'll notice tonight? Screw it, they'll never help me. They'll never care.

As I walked, I could feel my heart pounding. Anxiety. Great. What happens when they find out? Will they understand? Maybe not…

I sat down, ignoring my shaking hands. Mom made chili. I love chili…well, mom's recipe. Most people make it too watery. I ate the chili, not realizing that it was the only thing I ate today. When was the last time I ate? Yesterday at dinner…before that? Wow…I only eat at dinner…That explains why I've been hungry. Whatever.

"So, Megan, how was school today?"

"It was awesome! You know that substitute we all hate?"

"Mr. Brooks?" Josh chimed in.

"Yeah. He had some sort of allergic reaction to the new coffee flavor he tried. We ended up going to the cafeteria and watched movies until the assembly WHERE I got a citizenship award."

"Wow, Megan. So proud of you." Audrey smiled, turning to Josh. "What about you? How did school go?"

"You know that teacher that hates Drake? Mrs. Hayfer? Well she had to drop her daughter off at a doctor's appointment. Because of this, our exams got postponed. Another two days to study the vocabulary words."

"Nice." Audrey laughed.

No I'm not here or anything. My day sucked, actually. A girl rejected me, I broke my knife, and have to somehow explain to mom why I need a new one…

That was it.

If I asked her for a new supply of help, she would help.
