Just A Game

Heartache always hits hard.

I'm woken up by the flight attendant tapping my shoulder. "The plane has landed at this time we ask that you exit to your right."

As I walk through the airport I find myself getting more excited to see my cousin Layla. Besides my boys back in Australia she the only person in my family that I'm comfortable and close to. As I scan the crowd my body immediately tenses up when I notice Layla is not the one here to pick me up. My mother comes in for an awkward hug and a half smile is all I get from my dad. "How was your trip?" She asks. 

"It was really great, I needed that actually."  

"Well now we can get you back to your old self again. You look like you've enjoyed yourself quite abit." Implying that I gained weight. My moms response was nothing but normal I'll never be good enough in her eyes and she loves to point that out.

The car ride home was silent I put my head phones in and tried to forget about things for awhile. Looking down on my phone I notice songs I don't remember ever downloading. Then it hits me Michael and Ashton created a special playlist just for me.

When we got home I went straight to my old room. I decided to take a quick shower and get ready for bed. Throwing on a long T-shirt I climbed into bed with my special playlist on repeat. Those songs were exactly what I needed and the perfect thing to fall asleep to.
