I'm sorry. I know it's been awhile. I'm sorry.

I don't know who I am apologizing to, but I'm so sorry.

Today was so hard. Mom didn't come home last night. So dad went ballistic. Telling me it's 'my fault' and that I was 'worthless' cause I am the reason mom doesn't come home and Jared moved away. I should have stood up to him. I should have told him Jared is going to college to better himself. And mom and his marital problems weren't my fault. But I couldn't. Maybe it is my fault. Am I the reason mom leaves for days? Was I the reason Jared moved 1, 452 miles away?  Maybe.

Life would be easier if I didn't exist. Maybe mom and dad would be happy and vacationing right now. Retired and living on the beach. Not drinking their problems away and blaming me for it. Should I leave?

No. Jared loves me. He tells me it all the time. He tells me when I finish my senior year I can move to Florida with him and go to University just like him. He wouldn't lie to me. He's never lied to me before.

I need to go

Bye, your cynical flower
