diary of a nobody

chapter 6

today I woke up and went to my moms room. I saw something that just made a part of my heart break, she definitely wasn't lying, she did have cancer, there was hair completely covering her pillow, she looked like a toad head. She always grew up with long, dark, thick hair, but today the sight f her sleeping just made her look close to death, her face was pale and her hair was almost down to nothing, just short thin strands than only went down to her neck. I tried to walk away but couldn't instead I crawled into bed wither and I kissed her on the cheek after saying I love you. I just layed next to her for close to 5 minutes until I finally got out of her bed and went to take a shower, for some reason when I entered the shower I turned it all the way to cold thinking to my self if I cant take this than my mom cant take cancer, I was in and out in 7 minutes tops. I got joeys bath ready and woke him up as this has been our daily routine for 3 years. Before that he didn't go to school. Once he came down stairs I grabbed him a granola bar and I grabbed an apple and my cup of coffee which wasn't filled all the way considering I had just started the coffee maker 45 seconds ago. We walked out the door with 25 minutes to spare, Joey asked why we were leaving so early and I said because I had to take a few phone calls to request a job, after I made a phone call to McDonalds, burger king, Wendy's, and dairy queen my dad called. He said he was coming over at 12,and I told him no because he didn't know about moms cancer yet but he still insisted that he come over even though he would be really mad at my mom for having a disease she couldn't help.

after school was over and I picked up joey I decided to go to library we had already finished joeys books and I was sure he would be ecstatic to get 2 new ones, I told him after we read 15 books I would let him move up to the adventure category in our library. He picked out 3 and I told him that was okay, but only for today, you should of saw that adorable little grin on his face as he hugged me and said thank you .we drove home as he started to read aloud chapter one of his new book. Once we got home I pulled into the driveway only to see my step dads car. We were walking up to the door when I heard yelling and screaming I told joey to wait right here and I threw open the door and screamed at my step dad that he had to leave. Suddenly the room got really quiet with the door open and joey staring in from the out side with his backpack slung over his shoulder and a pile of books in his hand, I've never seen a look so sad and empty on him.my step dad grabbed my wrist looking into my eyes and saying " YOU DO NOT EVER TALK TO ME LIKE THAT! "His eyes looked like he was going to kill us, he had just the right amount of crazy and madness in his eyes to make Joey cry. Zach was my step dad but was joeys real dad. I could not believe that any father with a sweet little kid would do that in front of him. He told me to go upstairs with my brother but I said no. He tripped me and told me that if I didn't go upstairs he would hurt me. I climbed up the stairs felling like a complete coward. I should of stood up for my mom. I heard more screaming and than I heard the front door slam, at least he was gone now. I read joey 3 more chapters of his book and he slowly fell asleep sitting curled up in my lap, I realized he was very small for a 6 year old, luckily I was there to protect him
