My girl Neighbor

47

"JENNIFERRRR!!!"

I think the whole building heard my Mom scream my name.

I was still confused about what was happening when I saw that I threw up on her.

Her eyes looking at me fuming with fire and that made me realize what just happened.

And not long my Dad was at my door.

"What happened, what happened?" I heard him panicking.

His eyes darted to my Mom and the disgusting things that were on her.

This is gonna be a double kill.

"Shit!" I muttered.

"What the hell happened?" My Dad went to my Mom's rescue.

I am mortified and it is written on my face, both of them looking at me.

I don't know what to do, what should I do?

"M-Mom, D-Dad..."

"I'm gonna get cleaned up, you too and we will meet you in the living room!"

I could hear my Mom emphasizing each word, letting me know that I was in trouble.

They both went out of my room, my Dad shaking his head and looking at me.

I stayed in my position, not knowing what to do, looking at the mess that was in my bed when it hit me...

Emma.

What happened last night, the breakup sex, what we talked about, and the thought of not being with her suddenly suffocates me.

My angry parents didn't matter at the time as I felt my chest tightened.

Is this what I'm gonna feel every time I think of Emma?

My eyes started to well up.

I can't believe I'm crying in front of my own vomit.

Since my door was left open, I could hear my Mom angrily talking to my Dad, she was soooo mad.

I wiped my tears and went to the bathroom, I need to clean up before my Mom comes in again and see me still sitting in front of my mess.

I took a shower crying.

When I finished, I saw myself in the mirror, my eyes were puffy, and it was obvious that I cried a lot. I tried to put makeup on but it just worsened. I washed my face and left everything to Thor.

I don't think God would save me from what is about to happen later, so I'm clinging on to Thor.

I looked at my bed in disgust.

I'll deal with you later.

I slowly walked towards the living room, they were already sitting down on the couch.

I am so nervous, whenever I do something bad or silly, my parents never know about it. But today, I am caught red-handed. I don't know how will I get out of this.

"Come here fast!" I heard my Mom yell.

She must've sensed I was walking slowly.

I sat in front of them, my Mom still furious while my Dad was looking at me with disappointment in his eyes.

"What time did you get home last night?" I feel like my Mom is interrogating me.

She puts down my phone at the center table. "Your friend, Kate dropped that this morning."

"Uhmm, I-I don't remember."

"Did you drink and drive?" My Mom again.

I looked at them before I answered. They allowed me to drink but they had only one condition, never drive when you are under the influence of alcohol, and I broke it.

"Don't you dare lie to me, Jennifer Higgins!" I don't think I have seen my Mom this angry before.

"Y-Yes." As soon as they heard it, my Mom stood up and my Dad bowed his head with his hand on his forehead.

"Oh my God, Jennifer! How many times do we have to tell you that you cannot drink and drive? Why didn't you call us to pick you up? We told you, we don't care what time it was or where you were, we will come and pick you up!"

"What if something happened to you on the road? What if you died last night?"

Was she crying? I heard her voice break.

My Mom continued to scold me while my Dad kept quiet. I expected it from him, he was more of a cold treatment than letting it all out.

I bowed my head and didn't say a word as I knew I was at fault, I took everything and owned up to my mistake.

"You are grounded for a month!" As soon as I heard that, I lifted up my head and looked at both of them in disbelief.

Before I could protest, my Mom continued.

"I'm not gonna take your phone, you're 17 I know, but from school, you come straight home, you call me using our land phone so I know you're at home. No coming over to our neighbor, no meeting your friends, I am being serious, Jennifer!"

On the mention of our neighbor, I remembered Emma.

Emma.

Oh, my heart aches.

My Mom walked away while my Dad stayed with me.

He looked at me and said,

"I'm with your Mother in this."

He too, walked away.

Well, Emma and I broke up so grounding me was not really affecting me that much.

But still, what if I want to stay back and hang out with Sam or... Kate.

Remembering Kate, what happened at the party, I felt like vomiting again.

She must've planned it and I took her bait. I can't believe I trusted her again.

Before I went back to my room, I fixed myself something to eat as my stomach was growling, considering it was already afternoon and I hadn't eaten anything.

As soon as I finished my food, I started cleaning my bed.

The night is long and I don't have a plan to hurry myself.

It's Saturday, I was usually at Emma's on a day like this.

Emma.

Emma.

Emma.

Oh, her beautiful hazel eyes are tattoed in my mind. Her lips, the taste of her lips, how she was kissing me, it is all in my memories.

Just in my memories now.

I feel so broken just to think of her. I have no idea how am I gonna get through this.

How will I feel if I cross paths with her in the hall or the parking area?

How?
