I wake up, hoping it was all a dream. But half of my items are in boxes all around my room.
Last night was a blur. After crying my eyes out, my step dad came in and comforted me.
He explained that my mom wasn't In love with him anymore, but he will always love the both of us.
It made me feel better.
He helped me pack while we listened to music and danced. I guess I fell asleep after that.
I'm starving.
I didn't have dinner last night because I was too upset.
I go downstairs and eat 2 pop tarts. The blueberry kind.
When I am done, I go upstairs. I realize I never planned my outfit for today. I tried but my thoughts were everywhere.
I throw on a cute yet simple outfit.
I wear baggy jeans. The kind that look like they were made for overweight men.
I put in a tight shirt and a zip up jacket.
Then the converse my step dad gave me for my 15th birthday.
I am 16 now and they still fit perfectly.
I go to the bathroom and do my hygiene and makeup.
As I'm going downstairs, I overhear my mom on the phone.
She's saying all these flirty things to someone.
Rage fills my body, then comes to an immediate stop.
Because I know I can use this against her.
I walk in and say in a cheery voice, "Hey mom!!"
She looks shaken up, and then turns to her phone and says "Hey, I'll call you back later, bye" and hangs up the phone.
"Hi sweetie!" She says, obviously suspicious.
Maybe it think it's suspicious because I now know she's talking to another man.
"Hey mom. I'm ready for School, can you give me a ride?"
"Um..about that...I unenrolled you last night.."
"WHAT!!? WHY?!?" I say, failing to contain my anger.
"Because we are leaving in 2 days, what's the point?" She says.
"The point is I could've said bye to my friends in person!!" I say.
I don't pay your phone bill for nothing!" She says, tying to sound lighthearted, yet fails miserably.
I run upstairs yet again. I'm so angry right now I don't even want to think. A realization hits me. I never even looked at how far Boerne is!! Maybe it's close, and I can visit my friends every so often!
I grab my phone and click on maps. I type in Boerne...and....
"7 hours?!?!" I say, very much audibly.
Well, that's that.
I go up I my rooftop. I look at the sunset. It's so beautiful.
It calms me.
And I feel at peace.
For now.
