Fine Line

Brats

Isn't it sad struggling to be happy, having to smile in front of family so they think your happy, wishing that someone finally notices you're breaking inside yet no one does.

My name is Athena I'm just an 17 year old girl that is struggling with depression yet being strong enough so no one notices it and gives me pitty. I'm a senior at SouthVille High school in New Jersey . I have a family of four which includes my Mother,Father and my kind of brother Josh who is in college and I barely see him around. We live in a Huge house and idk how my parents are happy in here, this place just makes me sad by how lonely it looks. I'm usually alone, never mind that I'm Always alone, my parents leave to business trips around England and sometimes in America and according to them I'm Old enough to take care of my self which i know I'm not strong enough to take care of myself I'll probably just hurt myself.

"ATHENA! Wake up you're going to be late and we are leaving soon!" I hear my mom scream from the hallway.

First day of my senior year wow. I never thought I would make it , makes me so happy yet so sad because I know I will never be noticed like before.

I get off my bed way to fast making me dizzy so I sit for probably 10 minutes just looking at my plain gray wall. As soon as I come back to my 5 senses I go in the shower taking my clothes I picked up yesterday night.

I take a quick shower and change into my gray leggings with a black sweatshirt, I grab my short hair and decide to try to get a bun. As soon as it looks like a bird nest I go downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning hunny" dad says not looking away from the newspaper on the table,

" Morning pops and ma" I say grabbing my coffee made from mom and sit next to dad and I just wait for what they have to say.
It happens every morning they call me down to tell me where they are going for how long and that they leave me money in the credit card.

"So this trip is longer we are disgusting a really serious contract and it's in California and it might take us 3 weeks" mom says sitting down with eggs and bacon in front of her.

"WHAT?! That's almost a month? What am I going to do alone ? What If someone tries to break in?! Or-" i got cut off by dad finally putting his newspaper down and taking a sip from his tea.

"Everything will be fine there's security, plus you won't be alone the whole three weeks, Daylon will show up and you can always bring friends over" he said smiling at me, so funny, friends? If you only knew dad.

"DAYLON!? "I ask happy to finally see him after 5 months, "yes princess he will come and make you company for a week or so" mom says sweetly, gosh I wish they would just be with me for a month at least , I nod and hug them and go back to my room.

My smile vanishes and I feel the tears roll down my face, they leave me again and I won't have no one to tell them how my first year of senior was, or if they were any handsome dudes. Story of my life.
