HOLLISTER
........a . e . r . o
a ray of sun peered through his curtains, a light breeze billowing through his cracked window. the queen sized bed in the center of the room creaked as the boy on top rolled over. white sheets ruffled and moved as he struggled to go back to his sleep, though it was too late. next to the bed the nightstand came to life as his alarm clock began screeching at him to get up and buzzed around making more noise. in the right corner of the room by the door a large cage sat with a green and yellow birds perched inside. as the alarm went off, so did the bird. with a huff the boy in the bed pulled out his hand smacking it on the clock and letting it slide off hitting the side of his bed. the bird continued squawking and fluttering around in it's cage as the boy stayed still. out in the hall a clacking began to arouse as a large brindle and white dog bolted down the hall and into it's masters room. the dog leaped on the bed and began rolling and walking all over the light weighted boy. a laugh stuttered through the sheets as he began moving and struggling to get the large dog off him. he sat up right and stretched out his arms feeling the dog finally leaping off the bed. the bird had hushed up and a hairless cat wandered into his room followed by a larger, fluffier cat. he smiled and slipped out of bed heading towards the bathroom where he began to get ready for the up coming day. as he combed through his hair he grabbed his phone and sent a quick text to, Acacia. his a smile leering on his face as he did so.

he rolled on to his side as he heard the faint pitter patter of his rabbit in it's cage. when the black creature fell silent all he heard was the faint ticking of his wall clock. slowly he rolled on his back putting his hands behind his head. the room next to his soon jolted with a screech from his younger sister Ashlee and he rose to a sitting position. with a quick stretch he got out his bed, failing to make it in any way and pulled on one of his red plaid shirts. he walked down the carpeted hallway and peered through the slightly cracked door. the three year old little girl was playing with his Pyrenees pup, Rocko. a smile spread across his face as he walked in and quickly swooped up the girl. "ready for mom and pa to come get ya?" he said looking at her and watching her giggle with excitement. the girl nodded and he set her back down and kissed on the head, "get your bag and such, we are going to head out and meet them over by the park." he said smacking his thigh a couple times to get the large dog to follow. his little sister was the only one who had prevented him from trying to kill himself a couple years ago. he went into his bedroom and grabbed a different red plaid shirt and slipped it on, after putting a white shirt underneath. he looked down at his exposed wrists and let out a soft sigh at the few scars. reaching out to his dresser he grabbed the five bracelets and divided them between his two arms before putting on his dark grey skinny jeans that had a faded red on them. his smile had faded for a moment as he thought about the reasons the scars had appeared on his wrist, then heard his sisters voice which made him shake his head. slowly he walked out of the room and grabbed the big black leash handing from his doorknob and went to the front door. "Ashlee, Rocko, let's go!" he said watching as the two quickly came to the door. he handed her the black leash and waited for her to clip it to the dog before the trio headed outside towards the park. he pulled out his older iphone four and sent a quick message to, Andy. a smiley face was sent along with a sweet 'hello'.
