Sound Of Silence

Home Again

We pulled into my ungodly long driveway. It might as well be considered a road at this point. She looked over at me, "You know, we could always go back to my place." she said looking concerned. I just checked my phone. 3 missed calls. "No. He has called me 3 times and it's only 5." Maggie shook her head. "Isn't it a little early for him to be drunk" I laughed "In my family if you don't wake-up drunk there is something wrong." We finally reach the end of the driveway and meet my single wide trailer. Always been self conscious of it around Maggie. She's rich. Although she has never fully explained how she can just turn 18 a few months ago and own a castle like house. I tend over exaggerate a lot but I found that that is the best word. "Shit! I'm staring again," I thought to my self. I always hope she doesn't notice the staring. I can't help it though. She is just so perfect. I smile at her and say "I'll ask later if I can spend the night over there." She lights up. Ever since she moved out of her parents house we don't see each other much. "I'd like that," she said. I hug her and shout " Bye! I love ya!" as loud as I can as I walk up to my front door. If only she knew how much I meant that. As I walk through the door, my dad is lying on the couch with the TV turned up way too loud and yelling at a doctor show. So I do what I always do. I walk to my room, shut the door, lock it, and listen to music. Sometimes I cry, but not this time. This time I wasn't called a fat ugly bitch or something along those lines. I did get a nasty glare though. So I am sure I'll get it later tonight.
