This morning i woke up to my alarm going off, as i glanced around my room, i remembered what had happened.

The divorce really did happen.

My parents, A.J. Bennet, well, now Whitlock, and Jim Bennet, had really gotten a divorce. Only a few years after my brother Theo was born, too.

My sister, Addalyn, was at my dad's house, still sorting stuff out. Gosh, she's the most unorganized person i know. i had what i wanted at my mom's new house sorted out by the day she announced we were moving.

I sat up on my bed and stretched, looking out the window, it looked a bit warm for November.  i sat up and grabbed my hair products and skin products, then i went into the bathroom and turned on the shower water.

My mom, my brother and I moved from Bixby to Tulsa, while my sister is still at my dad's until she texts us that she's got everything sorted out. It didn't bother me that we moved much, since i got to move schools. Back at my old school, people were annoying and hated me and my sister. The thing that bothered me was the divorce. My parents seemed so happy together, so what happened between them? i couldn't ask my mom, because she would get upset about it, so the best bet was to stay curious.

By the time i had stopped thinking, i was out of the shower and was wrapping a towel around my torso.

i changed into this outfit because i figured i would probably have a lazy day and didn't figure i would be doing much except for unpacking

i changed into this outfit because i figured i would probably have a lazy day and didn't figure i would be doing much except for unpacking. i brushed and dried my hair before doing my skincare and walking downstairs.

I found my mom in the kitchen making breakfast, and my little brother sitting in his high chair. His eyes immediately lit up as he saw me.

"Allie! Allie!" he called out, reaching his little arms up towards me.

i kissed him on the forehead and walked over to see what my mom was making. Pancakes. i didn't care much for pancakes, but hey, i wasn't about to turn down something my mom made.

as i grabbed the plates, Theo continued to whine and cry for my attention like he did every morning. it got annoying, but he was my brother and i loved him. so, i reluctantly picked him up out of his high chair and held him on my hip as i set the table, being careful not to drop a plate.

i was about to put a fourth plate down, but then realized Addalyn was still at my dad's house getting everything sorted, so i wouldn't even need four or five plates as usual. it was weird, and i didn't like it, but i had to deal with it. i put the plate back in the cabinet and glanced over at my mom.

She was finishing up the pancakes and putting them on a plate to serve them to us. i put Theo down in his high chair  just in time to hear my mom speak:

"Alison, could you cut up your brother's pancakes, please?"

i nodded and walked over to the cutlery drawer, grabbing a butter knife. After i buttered his pancakes, i cut them up into bite sized pieces and drizzled syrup in it.

As if perfectly timed, my mom walked over and gave him his fork, which he immediately grabbed and started eating messily.

sitting down, i noticed that my mom hadn't sat down to eat yet, so i spoke.

"Momma, why aren't you eating?"

she was snapped out of her thoughts and quickly sat down, buttering her own pancaked and beginning to eat. i was confused by her behavior, but decided not to press it.

TIME SKIP: 12:00pm

Theo begged and begged me to watch Looney Tunes with him after breakfast, so for the next 2 hours, that's what i had been doing. until he finally fell asleep. i got up and walked into my mom's room.

"Momma, i'm bored."

she looked up at me tiredly, i guess she was about to take a nap too. Whoops.

"Go take a walk or somethin', i dunno."

i rolled my eyes at her tone of voice and walked upstairs to my room, changing my outfit.

i changed into this outfit and then went downstairs, slipping on my converse and stepping outside, into a place i really didn't know much about
