HIGHSCHOOL SWEETHEART

new family

Family is a gathering of love

Sarah said we need to bond as family, so here we are in one of my Dads beach houses to enjoy  a vacation  for the next few days  I'll spend with them
I'll say it is fun 
Sarah  introduced me to so many people 
I dont know if it for attention  but she tries to make sure I dont miss on anything 
Michael tries too when ever he comes back from work, he spends with me sometimes taking me out, either to eat dinner with him or we walk around the his property together  and yea I really miss that father figure in him

Laura is still laura  but she really isn't a problem anymore
Hazel has been nice to me since day 1
But still can't be close to her

They few days have spent with this new family, I'll say it was fun, an one thing notice about everyone is the shopping

Sarah shops three times a week and she goes to different party everyday

Hazel shops almost everyday
Laura barely leaves her room, she shop mostly online 

I walk down the corridor, I knock lightly on Laura room, it took her few minutes  to answer the door

" delivery"
She remove her ear pod 
"Where  "

"Downstairs "   she walk pass me leading downstairs

I walk down the corridor to my room, when I heard voices from Sarah's room
When I walk closer, i recognize Michael  voice
She was shouting about her credit card limit  
That when my phone rang

My mum 
I rush  down to my room
Oh she is on video call

"Mum hello " I wave 
" my baby " she blow her nose "how are you "
" am fine, you are having cold, sorry "

"Yes dear, but dont worry Aaron and Miriam is here"

Aaron 

"Oh! that good  "

" I called to hear your sweet voice honey and I miss you, I hope  you are eating more, please dont skip food" 

"Yes mum"

" how are your math studies "

" yea Michael arranged an online tutor for me an he's been helping, he showed me a lot" 

" I hope you didn't stress your self too much "

"No I have classes only when am comfortable to " 

"Ok , Miriam  come talk to Aimee "

She handed the phone to Miriam
"Oh my cutest baby " she smiled widely 
" yea mimi" I mimic in Baby voice 

" oh have missed you Baby "
" miss u too "

" am counting the days left for you to come home, you still have 3days 12 hour and 4min "

" oh Mimi I miss you"

"I'll make ur favourite cake when you come back "

"Ok, ill--- " someone broke something downstairs, an screamed 

"Is everything ok " Miriam asked

" I dont, I'll call you back , bye "  

I rushed down stairs  Laura broke the flower pot Sarah  stood  before her angry 

"After everything have done for you ungrateful child " 
Never seen Sarah this angry, Michael and hazel  rush out, then Mary Ann join came from the kitchen 

" what have you really done, to make you feel so comfortable about, is it in making us live in your rich husband money " laura shouted bitterly before Sarah slapped her 

" I am your mother I deserve some respect from you an your sister "
She turn and walked up to the stair,she stopped when she saw me staring at her sadly before she continued back to her room 

What did I do

"What do I have to do about this now ? " hazel said 

Soon after Michael joined he picked his car keys an walked out 
Mary Ann left and came back with a brush and waste bag to pick up the broken glass

" what did you do " hazel shouted

Can't any of them talk softly 

"What does that mean "

" oh will you shut up, you've cost problem for everyone already  "  hazel said walking toward her 

" I did nothing, why can't everybody stop blaming me already "  she shouted before running out of the house 

I sat there watching every single person act their own drama while I still dont know what going on

I need a popcorn  

I went back to my room since nobody  say anything to me, I continued  my math studies 

Aaron 

Dont  know what happened but he stopped calling or even texting, I heard from Noel an Sarah  that he broke up with Melissa, Noel said it was hell breaking after his birthday, melissa  came begging Aaron to forgive her. An after that night  he hasn't  called, no post on Facebook, even Instagram, his been quite.

Aaron

I jog round the field for the seventh  time listening to  teardrop  by massive attack, every one gave up after the 1st an second round 
I felt much energy when I remember what I saw, i needed answers but I wasn't yet ready to accept it, I just needed answers

Damn it

It like every bone in me crys for her, i can't sleep in my room anymore, I sleep in her room  every day since she traveled, Miriam caught me most times, trying to sneak in and out,

Am losing it again 

"Yo boy" I saw coach white standing along the track  "that enough for today boy whatever  it is dont  punish you self too much for it "
I nod and stop, I picked up my training bag as I walk toward the locker room

" James  what up with Aaron"
I recognize the voice  it Christian
The white boy with a black ass 

"Even if I should know, why whould I tell you " 

" we all just worried about him" another voice Ethan  

" ask him when he comes, not me"

" am fine guys no need to ask anything, just mind your business " I walked in as they all went back doing their business

When I was done, I met James  by his car, he pick me up from Gems house everyday and he doesn't ask questions
Since the holiday we've been having everyday practice, morning by 6 and evening by 3

" am picking Sarah at the mall too"  he said

" I'll sit at the behind, I need to sleep for a bit " 

" ok"  I sat behind plug in my earpud as James drove out

" hey man you know I never cared an I only accept what you tell me but I just want to ask you something man "
James said

"Ok"

" what do you want man?" he looked back  to see if am listening 
" is it melissa or any of this girls  or is it Aimee"

" ..... "

" you dont have to answer me now, all I want you to do is think about  your relationship with this girls who whould you trade your own life for, who do you rush to anything she calls, who whould you want to spend every second with "

I turned the music on as I answered my self
