Cupid's Target

RIGHT?

"Evelyn, you've got to cut this out!" My mom yelled from the bottom of the staircase as I dragged my feet to my room.

"Cut what out? Being with my friends?" I snapped back.

"You're never home, and when you are all you do is run off to your room and give me attitude." I heard her steps coming along the stair way.

Ever since spring break, these past few weeks have been hell with my mom. I've been off with Amy or Wayne, which drives her nuts. She's not lying when she says all I do is run off to my room. And when I do run off to my room it's to sleep, or gather clothes to sleep over Amy or Wayne's. She doesn't know i'm constantly sleeping over his house, which she doesn't need to know.  It's not that she doesn't like him, trust she really does. It's just that ever since i've been around him i've "changed". Is that so bad? Anyways, Nathan's always going back and forth making sure we don't rip each others heads off.

It feels like i've escaped my reality of my home recently, but I don't want to go back to it.

"We have plans tomorrow and you're coming out with us." She stops at the front of my door.

"No, I'm not." I collapsed on my bed faced down.

"Yes you are, tomorrow we're going to your cousins birthday party. The whole family is going to be there, which means your expected."

I didn't even have to lift my face up from my pillow to know she was standing there with her arms closed.

"Can't, I'm going prom dress shopping." I lied, finally sitting up from the bed.

"Go another day." were her last words before walking out.

"Close the door!" I yelled.

I wasn't dreading going to this family thing because I don't like my family. I'm dreading going because I'm going to be asked about my dad, one thing I want to avoid talking about.

I walked over to my tv, trying to find a disc to watch when I felt my phone go off.

I hearted his message and jumped up from my bean bag, darting straight for my bathroom.

I changed into sexier pajamas. Some teal Nike Pros and a grey off the shoulder long sleeve. I debated on taking off my makeup or not, but realized if I wasn't going to take it off it was going to come off another way.
