My Name Is Alex Martin. I Am Wise, A Loner, And Sad. I Try So Hard Trying To be Happy But End Up Getting Hurt Worse. My Mom Use To Tell Me There Are Positives In Life But Not For Me.-Diary Entry One_Alex
I closed my laptop lid and left it on the desk as I walked over to my bed and slipped off my shoes. I put my hands under my head, leaned back slowly and watched my ceiling fan go round and round. I know this isn't the way to live but this is how I live; One more year of bullying and swirlies and I will never go back again.
I hear the door downstairs creak, I knew it was mom getting back from work. I got up and put on my newest pair of sneakers; and walked downstairs slowly. I could hear mom in the kitchen unraveling groceries. I stepped in the doorway and I watched as she rushed to put the groceries in there places.
"Hi mom" I said
She jumped and grabbed her chest out of fright.
"Hi sweetpea, you scared me to death" She said smiling putting more groceries away.
Something felt wrong, But I couldn't place it.
"Is everything okay mom?" I asked her looking in her uncertain eyes.
"Yes sweetpea, of course it is" She said smiling worriedly at me.
She looked at her watch.
"I am going to be late to my meeting sweetpea. A frozen dinner is up in the freezer" Mom kissed my forehead and ran upstairs
I knew she wasn't going to a meeting because she had just got back from work. I thought about what she could be doing. She came down in a matter of minutes in a black open back dress.
"Mom, when will you be home?" I asked her.
She looked away and then back at me smiling placing her hand on my cheek.
"When the sun goes down, I will be home" She slipped on some black heels and ran out of the house.
I ran to the back of the house, I knew once I stepped out of the house my life would change...I had a feeling. I grabbed my bike out of the shed and rode until I spotted my mom's car going down broadway. I cut threw peoples yards to not get spotted.
My mom stopped at a big house on a hill. I hid my bike in a bush at the bottom of the hill. I walked up the hill walking slowly and quietly. I saw my mom standing outside the door putting on red makeup and pushing up her hair. She finally knocked on the door and I saw a middle-aged man with blonde hair slicked back. He reminded me of Leanardo Di Caprio in the "Great Gatsby".
This guys house was big enough to be a orphanage or a castle of some sort or maybe even Gatsbys house. The man hugged my mom, sliding his hand to her lower back inviting her in. When he shut the door I ran to the side of the house peeking through a window. I was amazed, the house looked amazing. It had a big ballroom and a huge staircase and where I was looking it had a huge library study.
Mom and the stranger walked somewhere, maybe the kitchen as I tugged on the window. The window opened quickly. I poked my head in the window to check if it was clear and it was. I lifted myself up and slid stealthily through the window. I walked over to his books on the desk and the were about reincarnation and ghosts.
I could tell this guy was creepy. I peeked out of the door and I could hear my mom laughing down a hall somewhere. I walked through the ballroom nice and quietly into a living room. There was tons of furniture. I heard them coming I hid behind the loveseat on the right side of the room.
I looked out of the corner of the loveseat and could see him golding an old bottle of wine. My mom sat in the loveseat that I was behind. The guy sat beside behind her. I lifted up a little to see what they were doing. My knees were hurting so I needed to get out of here. The guy and my mom started kissing. I crawled out slowly. I heard him get up as I was beside the stairs. I ran up the stairs quietly with my heart racing.
I was upstairs and there was just a long hallway of doors. I walked dowon the hall. The door at the end was telling me something. I walked to it and put my hand on the doorknob. I saw the guys shadow at the coming up the stairs. I went in the room and saw a girl with headphones in and reading a book. I shut her door quietly and she looked up at me. She took out an earbud.
"Do I know You?" She said curiously
"Um your father is coming, I need to hide?" I told her quickly.
She pointed under her bed. I crawled under it quickly squeezing in with little effort. Her bedroom door opened.
"Sweetie, were you talking to someone?" The guy said
"No Dad, I was singing" The girl said
"Oh okay well, could you not come downstairs for awhile tonight?" The guy said
"I wasn't planning on it" The girl said rudely.
The guy left her room. She leaned over looking at me.
"Get out" She said to me
I got out and stuck my hands in my pockets.
"Thanks for lying for me-" I started to say.
"I didn't lie for you" She said turning towards the wall putting her earbud back in.
I nodded and turned around facing her door listening for any noise of him or mom.
"Is she your mom?" The girl asked
"Sometimes" I told her
She turned to me looking at me curiously.
"Sometimes?" She raised her eyebrows.
"She's my mom when she isn't sleeping around" I ran my fingers through my hair.
"They have been together for 2 months and today is the first day I am meeting you,..it's quite pathetic of you" she said twirling around her dirty blonde hair
I shrugged.
"I didn't want to know she was sleeping around 2 months ago" I told the girl
"Well, you should have..we have a family dinner next week on Tuesday" The girl told me
I took deep breaths to hold in my rage.
"I gotta go...um I don't know your name"
"I'm Lilah" She said putting her earbud back in for the second time.
"Bye Alex" She says under her breath.
How does she know my name? I open the door and slowly step to the bottom of the stairs. I poke my head out looking into the living room. The guy is ontop of my mom. I duck walking quickly out the front door. I close the door quietly and run down the hill. I grab my bike out of the bushes and ride home.
I am a little angry about mom but I take deep breaths and hope the anger goes away. I throw my bike on the porch and walk slugly up the stairs to my room. I open my laptop and begin to write.
