The missing.

I woke up to the sound of my mother screaming at my father again, this happened at least once a day, what were they fighting about now, bills, me, the house. I completely hated how they would always argue but there wasn't much I could do really.

I threw the blankets of my body and I felt the cool air wrap its self around me. I stood up off my bed and stretched, I walked over to my mirror just to get a fright. I looked horrible, my coal black hair was tangled and my makeup had smeared all over my face. I walked over to the shower and got in.

H

I ran down the stairs to the smell of weed, ew I thought. My mom was doing this just to get the fights off her mind I guess, I didn't go near her when she done stuff like this she would always be angry. I grabbed a slice of toast and ran out the door.

I could hear the bells of the school ring as I ran into the gates, I wasn't really anyone at school, I was known as the troubled girl you could say. I didn't have much friends, none really. I didn't talk to anyone because everyone in my school are all hypocrites. I walked into mrs. Betty's class and took my seat. Mrs.betty was such a crab on Monday mornings she would come in with her ruler and slam it on the desks, it would shut everyone up Except Harold.

Harold was one of the most popular guys on campus, the girls would be all over him, he was extremely hot but I wouldn't have a shot with him. I could hear him talking to Derrick behind me about this big party at his house the weekend, I Tryed to listen more but I ended up falling out of my seat.

Everyone looked at me and started to laugh, great now I was the clutz of the school, first the freak, now this. God people were so judgemental. I ran to the bathroom and sat in the corner and started to cry. Why couldn't I just be a normal kid? Why couldn't people like me?

I left the bathroom after the bell rang for lunch. I left the school and made my run for home so no one would see me, the leaves crunched under my feet as I made my way home. I finally stopped running and started walking again, I saw a sign up ahead. I walked to the sign and read " FOR SALE, BIG MANSION, for more details call 476 2134" I scribbled the number down in my notebook and ran the rest of the way home.

I opened the door and the smell of alcohol lingered through the whole house. My mom was only drinking again, just great. I ran upstairs to my room and sat down on my bed. I took out my cellphone and called the number.

" hello"

" hi this is Kate huckleberry, and I was wondering about this mansion you have for sell"

" ah, the mansion, it's about a half hour drive from cuddle cove and it's quite luxurious, plenty Of bedrooms and it even has a hot tub, and a perfect few of cuddles cove."

" how much?"

" we're only asking cheap for it, so about 1000"

" okay well you should talk to my mom"

"alright"

My mom took the phone and just agreed to moving right then and there, when she hungup she didn't question me on why I called, just that was that. She fell right asleep I could tell she wasn't back to herself yet, but she was better.

I took the phone back and started packing my stuff, thank god I would be out of this town, I hated basically everyone in it.

I walked back down the hallway into my moms bedroom to find her passed out on her bed, I walked over to her and put my hand in hers, I stayed there for awhile and cryed because my mom was an alcoholic.

When I walked out of her room I could hear someone downstairs, I walked down the stairs into the living room to find dad packing his things.

" dad where are you going?"

" I'm leaving, no questions, but you and your mother are on your own"

After he said that he walked outside and drove off, well then my dad just left, just great. I didn't know why I wasn't emotionally to this maybe it was because he would always ignore me anyways or just because he never really acted like my father.

I turned around to see my mother sat down at the bottom of the stairs with her face in her hands, I walked over and sat down beside her. I listened to her weep and cry. I didn't say anything because she wasn't herself yet, she leaned over and hugged me.

" I'm glad were moving, I'm glad you made that call Kate"

I smiled and hugged into her and started getting boxes and packing, me and my mom had enough of everyone in this town, we didn't belong here, me and my mom needed somewhere without everyone. Just me and her against the world.
