Your POV

A familiar beeping filled the room. I always heard this beep. Everyday of my life it was always there. It was there to remind me of my mundane life. It was there to remind me of the day I had to face, even if I didn't want to. The darkness prevented me from seeing anything, but I knew there was something that I could do. Something I've doing been doing ever since I received the cause of the beeps.

Crash, crash, and... yes. Another crash.

I finally opened my eyes, the action always being the hardest thing I have to do everyday. I just wanted to curl back into bed and rest, go on my phone and stuff my face with junk food, listen to music and play video games. But a new day and now and new town. It couldn't be so bad could it?

"Great, I just jinxed myself..." I sighed as I rolled out of bed. And by roll, I literally mean roll. I rolled and my upper half fell to the floor as my other half stayed on the bed, tangled in the sheets. 

I groaned as I stood up and dragged my legs out of the sheets. I scratched the back of my head as I made my way over to my dresser and picked out the newly bought uniform that I had. I opened my door ready to head into the bathroom right down the hall when suddenly Alex came crashing into my legs, breaking his tight hold on them for a quick second only to run behind you and grip onto them once again, this time from behind.

"Alex, buddy. What are you-" I was mid-question when suddenly a drunk stumbling man came up the stairs. Unfortunately for my siblings and I we have to call this drunkard our father. Something that's even more unfortunate is that while my older sister got to move away for some dumb "high class" school all the while living off with my mother who left dad for some musician and my other older brother moving out and for college while my only other two siblings and I are stuck here with this abusive cheapstake who blows all the current money we have on some booze.

"Get ready for school al-already will ya?!" He slurred. "The sooner you are gone the better it is for-r me... I won't have to deal with all of you're lazy butts for a-a whole six hours!"

"Well it's a heavenly six hours for us too, we won't have to deal with your booze addicted as- butt." I rolled my eyes, letting the words spill out of my mouth without thinking. Though it wasn't like I was going to regret anything that I said either. "Plus, we get to spend our time around people who don't smell like cigar and alcohol so it'll be a nice change for once! Unlike the change of being stuck with you as our guardian instead of mother!"

Pain. A familiar feeling. This wasn't the first time he's hit me, or Alex. He's hit us ever since mom left him. Just couldn't get his emotional self under control and resorted to violence.

"You little-"

"Father, leave her be. I'll make sure they both get ready. Just go get more beer in the fridge or something." My older brother's voice runs through the hallway, the tone showing there was no negotiating around it.

The man grumbled as he made his way down the stairs, groaning as he fell down the last five. I would've laughed out loud if wasn't for my older brother's stern face that he gave me a he peeked his head out of the doorway of his room, an already knowing look present on his face. I shrugged as I bit my lip, pushing Alex into my room along with me before shutting the door. I opened my bottom drawer to reveal the extra clothes kept there for him for when things such as this happens.

I was adjusting the bottom of Alex's shirt while he stood there with his same old child-like smile that he always had on. I smiled back at him and three knocks were heard at my door, indicating the bathroom was unoccupied, before footsteps and deep, faint voices replaced it. The voices were faint but I could already tell it was my brother and the abusive man we lived with, talking. I sent Alex back to his room so he could grab his backpack.

I made my way down the hall, clothes in hand as I quickly made my way to the bathroom. On my way there I just so happened to catch part of the conversation.

"You need to watch that sister of yours." Here we go again... "I'm g-getting sick and tired of feeding... an ungrrrrateful girl like her."

"Yes, father." His voice was the same monotone voice he used during discussion such as these. "I'll make sure she stops."

"Heh, 'I'll make sure she stops' he says!" He laughed and took another swig. "How many times have you said that and failed, h-huh? More times than I can count on my two fingeerss..."

"I think you mean hands fat-"

"I knowz what's I said!"

I rolled my eyes and sighed, deciding to continue on with my day and get away from the man as soon as possible. Quickly, I finished up my morning routine and grabbed my phone off the bathroom counter where I had left it. I ran downstairs in my new uniform, the abusive brute was passed out on the couch so I didn't have to deal with any more slurred "insults" from him. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl. I took a bite out of the fruit as I sat down on the kitchen island, taking my phone out from my pocket I scrolled through my music before plugging in my earphones and beginning my walk to the new building where I will be spending six hours of my days in for five days a week for three years. Halfway through the walk however I realized something...

Damn, I should've just drove with big bro... He has a charger in his car...

Hey guys, so here's the re-write of my "Phoenix Drop High Book 1: The Beginning Of A New." I had made that fanfic in my early days as a wattpader and I honestly wasn't all to proud of the book. It is my most viewed book though I felt like the detail could've been so much better. I didn't want to unpublished the books since there really was no point since I would just end up completely deleting everything in the chapter rather than just "tweaking" or "editing" it, but at the same time I didn't want to delete the book either because of all your guys' amazing and hilarious comments, so instead I opted to create a rewritten version of it without having to go through reading the chapter and finding said mistakes. Mainly, I wanted to keep the book however to show the growth in my writing skills then vs now. Anyways, this'll be uploaded in place of the second book until the book is completely rewritten. Again, do note this series was created before Aphmau had made the actual role-play so if some things don't match then know it's because this book along with its plot was made before the actual series was made. Leave and feedback in the comments below so... until then!

PEACE- Lightning Girl Out! (1 OUT!)
