All I know is my little box. I have never gone to down town Mobile, and I have never gone past that. My box consist of me going to high school, looking at the billions of stars in my back yard, and reading. I only socialize with two people really and thats all ill ever need. I major in language arts and Science. I play sports, but im not on any teams.
I live on a long country road in Willmer Alabama. I barley see my mom anymore and I refuse to see my dad. I have one older brother but he's to busy to be associated with " family" and I wouldn't blame him. Basically I live on my own right now and I intend on it staying that way. Only I cant intend on it any longer.
Just before Summer ended my mom called saying she had great news. Ive learned so far that when she says she has great news, its really bad news for me.
Me~ hello
Mom~ hey sweetie, im sorry I haven't called in awhile
Me~ its cool mom ( im used to it)
Mom~ Anyways, I have some great news lilly. I got a job offering in new york with the company. Were moving in a week
Me~ What!!!, mom, your not even going talk to me about this?
Mom~ its a great opportunity Lilly. This will be your chance to expand your horizons and meet some new people. I have to go darling, my boss is calling. Love you.
With that my mom hung up and I was left alone once again, but this time feeling lonelier more than ever.
I was mad, I was furious at my mom for not thinking about me and my opinion. She just expects me to go along with whatever she has to say or do. How dose she expect me to just get up and pack my bags and leave for a freaking new state. Ive been here my whole life. I enjoy looking at the stars at night and I enjoy the piece and quite and most of all I enjoy living my life on my own because then you dont have to go through everything that ordinary people go through.
How come when you want to do something so badly time goes slowly and all the things you don't want to do time flies by. Before I knew it, I was saying goodbye to Christan and Ebony and my home that ive lived in since a baby. I cant help but not like Christian as a friend because he just talks for the both of us and Ebony found me freshman year and helped me out. Now we were closer then two skittles smushed together. I couldnt bare to look at their faces when I said goodbye because if I looked then my mind would capture that moment, that memory, and always remind me that I left two important people in my little box.
My ant came to pick me up to take me to New orleans Airport. I dont really like me ant because shes not really accounted for in my life so I just stayed quite in the passenger seat. All of a sudden my phone rang. I pulled my phone out from my pocket and saw that my mom was calling.
Me~ Hey mom
Mom~ hey sweetie, ill be waiting for you at the airport when you get there
Me~ ( thats a first) thanks mom
Mom~ your welcome sweetie, see you then, love you.
Me~ love you too
With that she hung up the phone and I rested my head against the Window. Soon after I fell asleep, wondering " whats the point of moving somewhere new when im still just going to ignore everything and everyone around me".
It took about a good 2 hours to get to the airport. I got out of the car and grabbed my bags, thanks ant Jamie; I yelled while walking away to a new life, a new begging, but with me still stuck in my little box that I wont let anyone enter.
