I am so annoyed with Brody! I cant believe he told the whole school we were dating

"tell them we aren't" I say to him

"Ok so i will also tell them that you live next to me in the richest house in town then" OMG nothing is simple with then boy. I groan and the walk away from the window and sit cross-legged on my bed and rub my temples.

"Hey who's at your house?" I hear Brody ask

"What the hell nobody should be here" I say and then run down the stairs two at a time. I open the front door and see my mum walking up the steps. "What are you doing here mother?" I ask

"This is my house why wouldn't I be here?" i scowl at her and ignore the question

"how long are you here for?" I ask her

"Undecided a few days probably" Oh thank god at least i wont have to put up with her for long. I can live with her being here for a few days.

"how are you?" she asks "I haven't seen you since.." she frowns and stumbles with her words slightly "since that time" She finishes.

"I'm fine." I say hoping that will be the end of the conversation. she nods at me and i turn around and walk up the stairs.

"who was that?" I hear Brody ask as i enter the room.

"My mother" i reply sitting at my desk. I open my laptop and log into my Facebook account. I have no notifications or messages so i just scroll through my news feed for a while trying to get my mind around the fact that my mum is here for the first time in ages. It feels weird to be in the same town as her let alone the same house.

I walk over to the window and see Brody sitting in his room doing something on his phone,

"Hey can I come hang at your house for a bit?.. Please? I- I don't want to be at my house right now" He looks at me staring into my eyes, after a few seconds he nods his head at me. "Thank you" I say. I walk out my door and down the stairs. I hear my mother moving around in the kitchen and continue walking. I walk out the door and slam it shut behind me. ok maybe a bit much but oh well i dont want her here. I walk up the stairs and know on Brodys door.

"Come in!" I hear him yell. I walk in and go into his lounge.

"So what do you want to do today?" I hear him ask as i step inside the lounge.

"Anything" I groan "Anything that keeps me away from my house" he looks at me questioningly, i just shake my head.

"Lets play 20 questions" He suggests.

"Ok sounds fun" I reply.

"Whats your favourite coulour?" He asks

"umm blue... no wait aqua, how about you?" I ask

"green.. like the colour of grass" He replys "what happened to your dad" i laugh at him, well more like breathe out more heavily with no air but you know. Of course he would ask that, straight to the point.

"I don't really want to talk about it... it's kinda personal" I say back. He looks at me and looks like he really wants to say something. I have to get out of here, I wont let him see me cry. "I.. ah.. I- I've gotta go" I say then walk out the door. I head over to my house and grab my car keys then go into the garage and grab my car. I drive around for a bit and then decide to go up to this place that I found where you walk through some trees then come into a really beautiful meadow that has a knee length grass with lots of beautiful flowers. It also has a waterfall that twinkles and flows into a pond that sits underneath it. You can go behind the waterfall and there's a huge rock that sits there. I notice that I've parked at the bottom of the hill. I didn't even realize i was almost there, such careful driving on my part i think sarcastically. I jump out of my car and lock the doors. It takes about 7 minutes to walk there.

Once I get there I go and sit on the rock behind the waterfall. It so peaceful here all you can hear is the waterfall flowing and you can feel small droplets of water splashing onto you. You cant feel the heat from from says rays as its cool behind the layer of water. This is where i come whenever i need time away from the world. Being here makes you forget whats happening around you. I look into the water mesmerized from it. The way it falls, the sounds it makes, It's beautiful. I stare closer into the water and sigh. When did my life get so complicated? I feel a tear slip out my eye and run down my cheek I wipe it off and wipe all of those sad depressing thoughts out of my head. I cant think that way its not worth it. I take a deep breathe and stand up. I walk back out to my car and head back to my house.

I get to my house and the first thing i notice is that my mothers car is still sitting there. I wish she would leave already. I walk inside and over to the kitchen where my mother is still sitting and see her sitting with no other than Brody.

"What are you doing here?" I ask Brody.

"When you ran out i came to see if you were here. Your mum opened the door and we started talking, thats all" He replies looking sincre.

"get out" I say to him "Get out!" I yell when he doesnt move. He jumps up and leaves the house, almost running. "I dont want you to stay here either" I say this time directing it at my mother.

"This is my house I can stay here as long as I like" She replies. I shake my head at her.

"So you dont talk to me for so long and then you expect me to welcome you back into my life with open arms?" I ask her

"Yes, because i am your mother" She says

"Your delusional is what you are" I reply walking away.
