Bittersweet

Seven

School went by quite slowly when I realized that all my classes were shared with both Danny and Tyler. It's even better when in each of the classes we share together, I sit in between the two of them. They share hateful glances once every few minutes and I just want to disappear out of thin air. The universe not only hates me, it despises me and I don't know what I could have possibly done to deserve all of this bad luck. The car ride home is silent. Its clear that neither one of us want to discuss the class situation. Danny finally breaks the silence as we pull into his driveway. Wait what? He hasn't taken me to his house since his dad left, well was kicked out would be more like it. "So.. I need to get something. You're welcome to come in, if you choose." I nod taking off my seatbelt. The small space of his car is strangely suffocating and I want out. We walk into his house. His mom sits on the couch with a bottle of her Jack Daniels in her right hand and I instantly see why he hasn't let me even come near his house for so long. He was mortified by his moms current state, and I don't blame him. I would be to. His mom gets up from the couch and stumble towards me- she is drunk out of her wits. "Elizabethhhh! good to see you againnn" she slurs her words. I look over to see an anger filled Daniel and my heart aches for him. This is terrible. "Hi, Mrs. Lambert." She instantly corrects me "Ah, you see dear, I am no longer married to that drunken, murdering husband of mine. So please, call me Kate" Hatred for her now ex husband burns through her voice. She use to be such a happy women, with her family. Now she is nothing but a raging alcoholic who could honestly care less about the one kid, and person she has left in the miserable life she has. Its quite sad, really.  "Okay, Kate" My anger for her that's running through my voice stings my own ears, and I cringe. How could she possibly treat Danny with such neglect? Danny grasps my arm and pulls me to his room. "I'm sorry" he mumbles so quietly that I have to strain my ears to hear him. "why? She should be the one apologizing and not to me but to you" he shakes his head rapidly at this. "Drop it, Liz" I do as he says. Satisfied that I got at least that out. "So what did you need from here?" "My phone. I forgot to get it this morning, being the fact I was rushing to get out of here this morning" I nod. But something tells me he is lying. He makes his way to the bathroom with a small bottle. I couldn't make out what it was because his hand was covering everything but the lid. I sit on his bed, waiting for him to come back. His room has changed since that last time I saw it. His once blue walls are now a light shade of gray. His room is clean and organized, unlike before when you could see nothing but clothes filling the floor. His study desk is clear of everything but a closed laptop. He also had a large dresser that he had painted black in the corner of his room. His room is pretty spacious without all the other stuff he had before in it.

"You ready to go?" his voice makes me snap my attention back to the real world. "oh, yah" with that we are heading over to my house. You can only imagine my surprise when my dear old dads car is sitting in the driveway. "What the heck is he doing here?" my voice is filled with pure hatred, I couldn't even try to hide it. Great. This day just keeps getting better and better, now doesn't it?_______________________________________________________________________________
