Save Me

Chapter 20-Home

Natalie
"Do you really think they'll let him leave home?" Today Tristan is being discharged from the hospital. I haven't seen him since his dad walked in to talk to him and I still don't know how that conversation went. We talked on the phone pretty much everyday but as I expected my parents were mad I didn't tell them where I was for three days and now I can't leave home. I had no school for some weird reason, I think it was a health problem or something like that, so I just stay home and talk on the phone. Sherry and Ross came over sometimes but they were so sappy it made me sick, I might like romance novels but my friends becoming one is disgusting. Tamz came over sometimes to to 'catch up' I guess I neglected her a little bit.
"HONEY IM HOMEEEEE" I heard yelled through my house. What the heck, who is that? I took up a scissors from next to my bed prepared to stab the intruder because I know my parents would never say that. Wait why would an intruder announce... Well I'm still gonna stab the person. As my bedroom door opened I brought down the scissors ready to make my kill.
"WHAT THE HELL NATALIE! IF YOU STABBED ME WITH THAT I WOULD MAKE SURE YOU NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY YOU PSYCHO!"
"Oh, Sherry, hey um what's up?" I asked with a guilty smile.
"Ross said something stupid and got grounded, Tristan got discharged but I don't like him and you're the next best thing." She said with a bright smile.
"Wow thanks you're such a great friend." Gotta say I have a black belt in sarcasm.
"I know, you're lucky to have me."
"That was sarcasm."
"I know but sarcasm is my first language so I have to reply."she said with a know it all smile. Wow just wow.

Tristan
Finally home and then things collapse. I talked to my dad and he said he would be staying with me for a while but he apparently lives in England and just happened to be here when he heard I was in the hospital. He just left but it was because he was having some 'issues' with my mom, like Im so stupid to think that's all that happened, and she offered to let him stay while I recovered. Judging from all the quarrelling I hear she didn't tell my stepdad which was probably the dumbest thing to do since he's so controlling. I now remember why I hated everything but I also remember why I don't anymore.
Done with this foolishness i got up and walked into the living room passed the quarrelling idiots and walked right out the door without anyone noticing, I'm so important to them -_-
I called Natalie to find out if she was home,
"Hey Nat."
"Oh um hey Tristan, you're finally free huh?"
"Nah, they wanted me to stay in bed and recover but everyones shouting so I left. They haven't noticed yet though."
"Oh cool. You wanna come over? Sherry's here and you can probably call Ross."
"Yeah that would be cool."
Now to call Ross, I know he's stuck at home because he said some crap to his mom. The idiot. I assume Nat thinks his mom will let him out cause I almost died. That'll be some good blackmail for a while.
"Yo Ross."
"No I can't come go back to bed."
"I'm almost at your house and we're going by Nat."
"Fine whatever."
The rest of the day was pretty unremarkable. Ross got ungrounded, if that's a word, because he said he was helping me deal with trauma. That was such a lie but he's so annoying she wanted him gone anyway. We went over to Nat's house and watched movies all day. You should see them crying in Titanic even Ross cried and I got a video. Home is where my friends are because that's when I feel at my best. About 2 hours after I left my mom recognised I was gone and called me, some family I have. In a week my dad's gonna leave and I'm going to go back to normal. Going to enjoy life from now and that's a promise I'll make to myself.
