Donut Love

Chapter 7

The next morning my mom woke me up to show me a picture of where we were going to move into. It was just disappointing, it was a two bedroom apartment. Not only are they moving me away from my friends and my work but I have to share a room with mason. I didn't want to move at all. That's when I came up with a plan, I had my mom drop me off at work and I would have tommy bring me home. During our break I told tommy that we were moving and he had the same idea as me, I should get an apartment of my own. Tommy said he would help me pay for one and I would save up to pay my rent. All I needed now was for my parents to agree to my idea, that would be hard. I never thought this idea would happen, I thought I would live in that house for the rest of my life but obviously not. On the way home tommy kept asking me if I was ok, but I was just very nervous to know what they would say to me living somewhere without them. A question continuously was going through my head, would I be able to handle it or just break down? but I couldn't answer that on my own so I would just have to see. When we arrived at my house my mom was wrapping her special plates with the singers on them and putting them in a box. Then I saw my dad taking the books off his bookshelf. Finally I just came out with it, "I WANT TO BUY AN APARTMENT" I said. My mother was surprised at how loud I was talking. The only reason I said it loud was because I didn't want to have to say it twice. Both of them stopped what they were doing and looked at me, with wide eyes. They were speechless. My mom looked me in the eyes and she knew, I was serious. My stomach flipped and my head was pounding at the pressure. I didn't know what they were gunna say, or worse how either of them would react. This question began to haunt me "Did I just say that or am I dreaming". At that moment it snapped into my head, that by the looks on their faces the hurt in my mothers eyes she knew I wasn't a little girl playing with dolls and riding imaginary horses around the yard, but I was growing up faster than she wanted me to. Dad cleared his throat and broke the silence in the room. They didn't know how to act or even what to say but mom stood up and came towards me. Her hands on my shoulders, I saw a tear in her eyes. Before mom or dad said a word I inhaled and spoke, I want to stay here I have groan up in this town and I do not want to leave it all behind. I love you guys very much and I love mason very much as well but I don't want to leave my friends behind and go to a place I've never been or where we know no one. It's not worth it and I'm not going.
