Book Two - Just Enjoying My Life.... Right? (Completed)

Chapter 27

Yes I know, it's a miracle! I'm updating within a couple of days of my last chapter. :) I was in a flow and knew exactly where this chapter was heading so I decided to update early. This is all leading to the final chapter. Approximately two more to go. I hope you enjoy this one. <3

Ok seriously, a week of Mum ignoring me is going too far. One whole week. I mean, come on it’s not like I’ve committed a murder.

It’s even at the point where I feel awkward visiting my parents. Oh I haven’t let that stop me. After all it’s still my home even if I don’t live there anymore. It’s just Mum doesn’t talk to me when I visit.

Yes that’s right, I have officially moved into Sam’s place. We never really discussed it but it was a logical move. It just happened without thinking. Well I think part of it was rebellion on my part. I was determined to show her I didn’t care. She could give me the cold shoulder for years and I wouldn’t care.

I really don’t understand her. What’s the big deal about a wedding anyway? They’re just an excuse to spend a lot of money. She should be thankful we saved thousands of dollars! Besides, she can’t change a thing. Giving me the cold shoulder isn’t going to turn back time. Nor is it going to make us think about having a wedding just for her sake.

Speaking of weddings, poor Dani is about ready to lose it. If I thought she had lost her motivation for planning a week earlier, it’s pretty much non-existent now. The truth is I know for a fact that they want to run off and elope. They’ve talked about it and agreed it’s what they want but one thing is stopping them. Or should I say one person. Do I need to spell it out?

So it’s Sunday night and Simon and Dani have come over for pizza and a movie. We’re not a very happy party, I’m afraid. Sam’s stressing because he goes back to teaching tomorrow. He’s already been to school a few times this week to prepare. Dani’s stressing over the wedding. Simon is stressing because Dani is. And me? Of course I’m stressing. Tomorrow is my first day of Uni and I’m a ball of nerves. But there are other things weighing on my mind too.

Firstly there’s Mum, of course. I don’t like there being a rift between us. I’ve decided I’m going to get her to understand this week if it’s the last thing I do.

Secondly there’s Nancy. I miss her like crazy and it’s so hard learning to adapt without her. Even though I have Sam, I still feel like one part of me is missing. Nancy always did feel like a sister to me. How can you forget someone that close? What’s made it worse is that in the last week I’ve received a maximum of five messages from her. Five! What’s with that? We’d send more than five a day when we were in the same country! I know it’s more expensive to text now but who cares about that when it comes to keeping in contact with friends?

I’m trying really hard not to be paranoid but I’m certain there’s something wrong. She doesn’t sound herself and she won’t tell me if anything is wrong. Is she unhappy in London? Did she and Jason have a tiff? Does she have better friends than me? Ok so that is paranoia but I can’t help it!

What really hurts is that for the first time ever it feels like we’re drifting apart. It’s really made me feel miserable.

Then finally, over the last few days I’ve felt generally miserable anyway. I want to cry all the time and I get these sudden bouts of anger out of nowhere. I don’t think Sam knows what’s hit him. Hell, I don’t know what’s going on! My hormones are all over the place. Oh and don’t talk to me about sleeping. I can’t seem to get enough. I should be well and truly over my jetlag by now but I it feels like I’m not. Perhaps it’s time I see a doctor.
