Rain hit the outside of her window as she tossed in bed. She didn’t want to come out from underneath the covers and it was still pretty early, also it was Saturday so why should she get up this time? Even if she had school, it was still too early. Max glanced at the clock. 4AM. Despite the time, she roused herself out of bed because she needed to empty her bladder. How inconvenient.
After she was done, she was about to head back to her room when she heard a noise like something fell and it came from the kitchen. She was about follow but the sound of her mother and step-dad getting into an argument deterred her and she went back to her room. Now huddled under the blankets, she hoped it would soon end because she really did want to sleep.
