Alone

chapter 12

It has been a couple of months since I decided that I wanted to get some help. I'm doing so much better.

"Dawn time for dinner."

"Coming."

I walk down the hall and sit down, smiling at Tyrone.

"Hey, Tyrone."

"Hey, dawn."

"Let us eat."

"For sure. I'm starving."

I look at Tyrone and can't help but put a huge smile on my face.

"So Dawn how is school?"

"Its good I guess. I wish I was back at Zing High. I miss my friends."

"we miss you too.

since I've sought out help I had to go to a private school until I got myself together. Its okay, I at least I get to eat lunch alone.

"have you called Ashlen yet?"

"No haven't had a chance, I planned on doing it after dinner."

we finish dinner in silence. we try to enjoy the little moments we have together because the school only lets me home on the weekend.. there is no phone, laptops, and/or tablet rule. They let me have my iPod so I can listen to my music when things get crazy.

We finish dinner and I head to my room. tyrone follows. I lay down and curl into a loose fetal position.

"Hey, what's wrong? talk to me."

"Nothing. Just missing you guys. I don't want to go back."

"I know you never do."

"you would too if you went five days without mom or your friends."

"I know."

"No, you don't. I cant text call or even email you guys."

"Yes, I do know. this is hard on us too. we miss you too."

"If I told you the next two weeks are my last two weeks, what would you say?"

"I would be really happy and go tell mom and your friends."

"Well, the next two weeks are my last two weeks."

"You're lying."

"Nope. but the bad thing is that I can't come home next weekend.'

"That sucks but awesome at the same time. I'm telling mom."

"Okay."

He rushes out the room and finds our mom.

"mom! guess what."

"what?"

"I have got some good news for you."

"what? tell me."

"dawn gets to come home for good in two weeks."

"no. That's amazing. My baby finally gets to come home.

"She can't come home next weekend though."

"why?"

"I don't know I don't think she wants to tell me either."

"Okay."

I can tell she whispers something in his ear because it's quiet for a moment. I hear Tyrone start to make his way down towards my room so I turn over so my back is to the door.

"Dawn?"

I don't answer because I'm really tired.

He walks over and sits down. He shakes my leg, trying to "wake me up."

"What?"

"Why can't you come home next weekend?"

"I'm tired. I'll tell you in the morning."

"Okay."
