Me and Connor made our way inside the restraunt. We ate and talked about anything and everything. When we were finished we decided to go get me a new pennyboard. Connor knew the perfect place.
"DAD I WANT THAT ONE!!" I pointed at an aqua board with two neon pink stripes and purple wheels.
"You sure?"
"YASS DAD YASSSS!" I screamed. He just laughed at me. I grabbed it and brought it to the register.
Connor payed and we left. I couldn't wait to ride my new board!! I wonder if there is any skate parks around.
We walked back to the car.
"So think you like your new board yet?" Connor asked as he opened his car door.
"I'm pretty sure!" I stated sarcastically.
We laughed and climbed into the car. I turned up the radio and placed my new board in the backseat. Me and Connor jammed to the radio for what felt like hours!! We finally arrived at a house. I didn't recognize it at all.
Connor stopped the car and turned the engine off.
"This is my parent's house. I want them to meet you." Connor said while staring at the house in front of us.
I just nodded my head and Connor got out of the car. I slowly got out of the car. And shut the door so gently. Honestly..I was scared. What if they didn't like me? Would Connor bring me back? What if they hurt me? Oh god I don't wanna get hurt again.
I was broken out of thought with Connor wrapping his arm around me.
"Everything okay babygirl?" He sounded concerned. I didn't even have time to respond because a woman started screaming for Connor. We walked to the door where the woman was standing.
(I don't know his parents or anything so bare with me please!!)
"Connor, how are you?" I'm guessing his mother said to him because she pulled him into a hug and kissed his cheek.
"I'm good mother." Connor stated and looked at me.
"Mother I would like you to meet my daughter Katie." He looked at me with a 'you better be nice' smile on his face.
I quickly smiled.
"Hello. Like Connor said my name is Katie and I am 16 years old." I smiled and stuck my hand out for her to shake it.
The woman studied me and kinda gave me a dirty look. Which made me pull my hand back down to my side.
"Connor honey, we need to talk. Um..Katie you can go inside we have cookies on the counter in the kitchen ." The woman said with a fake smile plastered on her face.
My heart was crushed. I've had people give me dirty looks but they never hurt as much as it did when this woman, who is supposed to be my grandmother, gave me a dirty look.
I turned to Connor, keeping the urge to run off inside my body, and he gave me a reassuring smile and nodded his head as if saying 'it's okay'. I gave him a huge hug and the woman opened the door for me to walk inside.
I took a deep breath and walked inside. The house smelled like lemon and old people. There were two cats sitting on the couch. I'm guessing that is Pre and Sam. I smiled at them and walked into the kitchen where the lady said there was cookies. Of course, I wasn't gonna eat one. I mean I want to start back up on my sports so I need to keep the pounds off. Plus I am still full from iHop.
I sat down at the table and pulled my phone out. I checked to see if they had wifi. They did but they had a password put on it. I decided to go ask the lady what it was.
I got up from the table and walked to the door. I was going to open it when I heard some voices.
"I don't care mother, she is my daughter and I don't care what you think about it. Even if I cared what you would have to say I am not bringing her back. She is a part of my life now. You just don't even know what this girl has been through." Connor said. He sounded angry.
"Well you should care about your mother's opinion." His mother said back at him. She sounded mad also.
"Well I don't on this topic so.." I saw Connor walk towards the door so I immediately ran back to the table and pretended like I had been sitting there the whole time.
He walked in and smiled at me.
"Hey babygirl." I could tell he was upset.
"Hey dad!" I gave off a nice smile. His mom walked in and I smiled at her just to receive another dirty look.
Okay now I just wanna cry, and like I said before...I HATE CRYING!!
"Um excuse me ma'am but what is your wifi password?" I asked super kindly with a smile.
"The one Connor's father put on it so that people who weren't in our family couldn't get on it." She spat at me rudely.
My smile faded and I just nodded looking back down at my phone.
"Mom!" Connor yelled and slammed his hand on the table which made me jump.
"That's it Katie let's go!" Connor barked. I stood up and readjusted my shorts.
"Thanks for everything." I thanked the woman and gave her a smile just for her to glare at me.
I walked to the door. Connor opened the door for me and I darted to the car. I grabbed my pennyboard from the backseat and started riding it away from the house, Connor's car, Connor, his mom, and the stupid cookies. I just wanted a family. I got one but apparently I'm not good enough for them.
"KAY! KATIE! BABYGIRL COME BACK!!" Connor was yelling after me, but I kept riding and riding and riding until I couldn't hear him anymore.
I stopped at a park bench and sat down. As soon as I sat down the tears came. I cried and cried. I could feel my phone vibrating in my pocket so I pulled it out. It was Connor, of course. I answered it.
Conversation:
Me: hello..
Dad: babygirl where are you?
Me: I don't know a park maybe..
Dad: what do you see?
Me: uhhh..I see a swingset, a basketball court, and a sand box.
Dad: okay I know where you are. Stay there okay. Promise?
Me: okay..
Dad: promise?
Me: .....promise...
Dad: see you soon babygirl.
End of conversation
I sat there waiting for Connor. I didn't know what I was gonna say to him. I don't even know if he is mad at me. I hope not. I hate when people are mad at me. It makes me feel like a failure.
A car drove up, but many cars have come by doing the same thing so I shook it off. I saw, out of the corner of my eye, someone sit down. I turned to them and saw my dad.
I saw him turn to me and I jumped into his arms.
"I'm sorry daddy!!" I exclaimed.
No response.
"Dad.."
No response.
