A/N: Well I'm gonna give this story a shot. Some of you might be asking yourselves "didn't I read something just like this". The answer is yes but apparently, according to the guidelines interactive stories are not allowed. I'll just have to retake that speed reading course. I had to delete it and put me revised version up instead. So here it is just a regular normal story…

Prologue: I Can't Take It Anymore!

She just got home. The house was empty and silent. It felt great but at the same time it scared her. Maddie Fitzpatrick tossed her bag and her keys onto the kitchen table and ran into her room. She locked the door. The day had been long and she was swamped, physically and emotionally.

Maddie slowly glanced around the room for something to calm her down. Nothing quite satisfied her but she settled for a book. She grabbed it and plopped down onto her bed. About ten minutes passed, as she managed to flip through a few pages but nothing she read would stick. She turned back a few pages to reread it again. She couldn't concentrate.

Maddie threw the book and watched hit the wall. She put her fingers on her temples as if to prevent the little sanity she had left from escaping her. Tears began to run down her cheeks but Maddie refused to let herself cry and she immediately stopped. She got up off her bed, blasted her stereo full volume and went back to lie down. She let the music pump into her. Instead of relieving her of her migraine, the music only provoked it even more, but she didn't let it bother her.

Maddie could faintly hear the footsteps of the downstairs neighbors. Perhaps they were unhappy with all the racket she was causing. What if they would come upstairs to see what it was all about? She shook the thoughts from her mind. She let the music drain her of her thoughts, her fears and her worries. She almost felt… tranquil.

But at that very moment she heard a door slam and a bunch of yelling. Oh great they're home, she thought to herself. She lowered the music to a whisper, so she could hear what ridiculous fight was going on this time.

"All I asked, was for you to come to one family event with me, is that such a problem?" a woman screeched.

"Yeah, today was the biggest football game of the season!" a man yelled back at her.

"Well you coulda tapped it you good for nothing slacker!" The yelling continued.

"Well that doesn't give you the right to turn your entire family against me!"

"The only reason they hate you, is because they know the kind of hell hole we live in!" the woman persisted.

"Well I wonder where they got that tall tale from?" the man did not give up the fight either.

The sound of her parents fighting drilled a hole into Maddie's head. She began to pace around in her room struggling to even breathe. She didn't know what to do. Finally she stepped out of her room and scurried to the kitchen, her eyes made sure to avoid her family members. She snatched her things off the table.

"I can't take it anymore!" she hollered as she ran out of the apartment, closing the door behind her.

The sound of the slammed door echoed in the soundless hallway. Tears began to drip down Maddie's face once again but this time she couldn't control it. She dashed down the staircase and out of the building. She embraced the warm air a spring night like tonight offered her.

But she was not going to talk about this with anyone! And by no means was she going to return home any time soon.

A/N: I know it was short but you must remember it was only a prologue. And hopefully it will get better. If any of you have any suggestions feel free to message me through my profile or whatever. Ok so all that's left to do is review!
