When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is touch the cross on my neck.
Slowly, I open my eyes and they land on the calendar that's on the wall in front of me, today is 7 years since my dad died.
Sigh, I get up rubbing my eyes, knowing today is going to be absolutely awful, aspecially now that it's summer and there's no school to run away to, or Tanner to go to.
I make my way through my tiny room to the bathroom out in the hallway thinking if I should tell any of this to Devin, we lately hang out a lot and I started to somewhat like him,or at least not 100% hate him.
Only 99%. Oh who am I kidding, I'd never tell him.
And I hope Taylor didn't, the only reason the Manuel's brothers and Tanner knew is because they butted in a lot, and sort of figured it out on their own. I didn't like that. But is somewhat helped me and made things easier a little.
After I brush my teeth I go to the kitchen, sadly, my mum is already up, with a bottle of cheap vodka in one hand and the other holding her round stomach.
"Hey mum," I say uneasy, she shouldn't be drinking while pregnant, but it's not like she'll ever listen to me.
"Have you seen my Marlboro?" She asks eyeing me suspiciously, she always thought I was stealing things from her,
"No mum, I don't know and you shouldn't be drinking, let alone smoking." I sigh irritated and she just groans.
"Don't forget, today is pay day." She says in a sick kind of happy tone and I try my best not to slap her, "about that, I need some money." I say, knowing she'll probably say no.
"Oh yeah? And I need to get rid of this growing shit inside me and you don't see me whining like a little bitch!" She screams and gets the hiccups right after.
"I don't care, I'm taking some of the money." I shrug and walk out of the house, I can hear her footsteps after me but she already had way too much to drink, "don't you dare you little..." She snarls but doesn't get out of the house into the street, she's only wearing a dirty T-shirt and underwear.
I keep on walking and take out the few dollars I had left in my pocket, it was all I had and I already knew what I was going to do with it.
I walk to a local flower store and grab the biggest bouquet of Gladiolus, knowing my dad loved those, he always wanted to plant them in our small garden but never had the time.
After I pay for it I go to the cemetery, quickly and silently making my way to my dad's grave.
When I reach it I sit on my knees in front of it and place the flowers on top.
Benjamin Hope Jeperson. A dear husband and father , 1979-2008.
I don't say a thing while I sit there, just staring at his name, and think.
Think of how we ended up like this, so broken, such a freaking fucked up family.
My name is Gabriel Faith Japerson, and this is my story.
A/N: Woohoo sequel time. Anyway, hope you enjoy it, and I'll try to update more ^^. Now run along human, there's nothing else to see here.
