It's been a week since Papa left for rehab.
Angelina has been having a hard time and has barely spoken a word to any of us. Reuben doesn't come straight home anymore after school and Mama has picked up more shifts at the hospital than before.
It is only the first week.
I know everything will get better and we will go back to how it was.
Papa wouldn't have wanted us to be like this.
As for me though, I've been distracting myself a lot.
Malia has been over my place almost every day and she helps me with the small breakdowns I have at night.
She hasn't left my side since that night I got wasted and slept over.
Unfortunately, today she had plans with the girls so I had to distract myself.
I'm currently working on the last parts of my speech for Graduation.
In just a week we'll all be high school graduates.
A pang of hurt hits my chest when I realize Papa won't be there. He won't even be able to call since they're not allowed any communication for a while.
It'll be okay, I know it will.
I'll make sure Reuben records the whole ceremony for Papa.
I finish the last of my speech and smile to myself when I realize how meaningful it'll be.
I take a deep breath in before putting down my pen and standing up. I head downstairs to find myself a snack, I'm a little hungry.
