High school here I come

ONE WEEK LATER

It's been a week since I got here and I still haven't left the house. My mom keeps coming up with excusese as to why I can't leave. They say it's too soon and for the mean time I just need to stay home and relax. Not think about going into the world yet. Which I understand but I just want to go out and do things. I want to go to school and meet people I mean after all I am a new kid here. Maybe I'll bring it up to them later. I'll ask them just one more time if I can go out or do things. What's the worse that could happen?

"Sweetie come down here please it's time for lunch!" My mom always cooked the most amazing food for me and she never complains about cooking three times a day. I tried asking her if I could cook a meal every once and a while and she got mad at me started saying that I was being ungrateful and that I should just appreciate the fact that I have parents who are willing to do what I need and want whenever I need and want it. But then after a few minutes her attitude changed she said she was sorry then started laughing, she said that before everything happened I would try to cook for her and I was horrible at it. Always burning things and messing up everything. She said one time I tried to make pasta and took it out while it was still crunchy. Said it was one of the most interesting dinners she'd ever had in her entire life. 

Ever since that little outburst I haven't asked her for anything even remotely close to cooking. I don't know what's going on with her. She seems to be the one that's a little more on edge. Although I guess I really wouldn't know because all my dad does is sit in his office on his computer. Mom says he working on a really big case at the moment.

Ya see my dad is a lawyer in fact he's the head lawyer at his law firm and that means he's constantly in his office. Usually he gets to eat dinner with us and hang out through out the day. My mom said he used to be really good about getting out of there at five o clock everyday/ Ever since my incident though he seems to be drowing himself in work. She says I shouldn't worry to much and that its just his way of dealing with this. He didn't even know how i was feeling about myself until he got a call at work that I was in the hospital, he thinks it's his fault and that maybe if he had been a better father to me then he would have noticed that I was acting differently and then maybe he could have done something about it. I tried to tell her that there's no way it was his fault, she said she knew that  but he just needed sometime to cope with it and that soon he would be back to normal. 

I wondered how long that would take for him to finally come out and talk to me so that I can actually get to know him. I guess i understand what he's going through though how do you handle somebody that you thought you knew trying to kill themselves?

"Okay sweetie here's your lunch, when your done i have vanilla pudding in the fridge for you" Seriously could she be anymore amazing?

"Alright thanks so much mom, I really do appreciate al lthat you do for me."

"No problem sweetie."

"Um, mom can we talk for a second please?" Now's my chance just ask her one more time and if she says no you can drop it and that'll be that.

"Yes? what is it."

"Well i know you said that it was too soon for me to try to go out and do things, but i really want to do sometime get out of the house and I was thinking maybe I could...." 

"We've talked about this sweetie you know exactly how I feel about it but you obviously want to do this so I'll consider it, now what is it that you want to do?"

"well i really want to, umm.. ya see i just feel like ill be more of a seventeen year old if I..."

"sweetie just say it"

"Well i really want to......go to school, i just feel like the best way for me to move on with my life and get a sense of comfort and homeyness."

"Well if it means this much to you, then tonight at dinner we can talk about it with your father."

"Oh thank you thank you thank you!!"

"No problem sweetie now go eat your lunch and get some rest.:

"okay!"

I can not believe that this just happened! it just seems so much more real now that she's kind of on board with it. I mean if I can almost get one parent to say yes then that'll just make getting the other parent to say yes easier. I guess I'll just wait and see. I can't believe how amazing this lunch was. Maybe i'll just go upstairs and take a nap after all I am getting prettty tired. I'll just have to make sure I get up in time to get ready for dinner. I want to look good for when I try to convince my dad to let me go to school. 

I might not have my memory but i'm pretty sure that no teenager ever has had to convince their parents to let her go to school. This is definetly a first. I have the most comfortable bed ever. It's a wonder I'm always asleep i can't get enough of the comfort. 

"Sweetie come down here please we need to talk to you!!" Oh no! i slept through dinner didn't I? They're going to be so mad at me about it. I bet they will never let me go to school now. I had a chance and I blew it! Maybe if i go down there now and talk to them they'll still let me go. 

"OW! stupid dresser" Why are things always in your way when you're in a hurry?

"Look mom dad I know I over slept but I was just so tired I don't know wher time got to."

"It's fine swetie we understand. You're father and I are going to go out we have some errands to run we'll be back in about an hour or two."

"Where are you going?" 

"Well we need to go buy a few things for next weeks dinner, and then we have to make a stop at the school."

"The school?  for what?"

"Well we have to get some paper work."

"Looks like someone's finally convinced their mom and I to send them to school."

"Really! oh thank you thank you thank you!"

"No problem sweetie, There's left over dinner in the oven and desert in the freezer. We'll see you when you get home. If your still up."

"Okay, again mom and dad thank you so much I love you guys so much and really appreciate everything your doing!"

"Bye sweetie. we'll see you later."

Oh my! I can not believe that just happened! I'm going to school. This is going to be the most epic thing Ever! High school Here I come.
