I woke up in the morning fresh and new. I got off my bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.
After I was done doing everything I had to do in the bathroom, i went downstairs where i found my brother sitting on a stool, drinking orange juice. He was still wearing PJ's.
I walked over to the refrigerator and poured myself orange juice.
"Has she come back yet?" I asked, sitting on a stool next to him.
"No," he said, drinking his juice.
"She'll come back," I said, putting my hand on top of his, "just don't worr-"
"No," he pulled his hand away, "you were right, 'she doesn't give a crap about us'"
"Joel... I didn't mean it like th-"
"I'll be upstairs," he interrupted me. He got up from the stool and went downstairs.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
9: 30 at night...
My mom has still not showed up. Where the fuck would she be? My mom started being an alcoholic when my father died. She couldn't handle the pain, so she decided to numb it by drinking and smoking. And now she can't stop.
My dad died when I was 9 and Joel was 10. I was broken. My mom was more broken. She didn't laugh that beautiful laugh she has. She was depressed. She nevered smiled the same. She thought she would get over the pain by drinking. And now she is a complete different person.
She started caring less for me and Joel. She would go out more. She would come home drunk, throw things around and break things. She would call us mean things. She didn't care. She still doesn't care. Joel was the one who took care of me and gave me food. I know my dad wouldn't like the things my mom is doing. Or how we are being treated. I never understood why my mom would act like that. But now I know. And it hurts so much to know.
My phone started ringing. I picked it up from my nightstand and saw the caller ID. It was Ariel.
"Hello?"
"Hey Mol, what you doing?"
"Nothing much why?"
"Well get dressed. And wear something nice. We are going out." She said.
"What? Why?" But she hung up before she could answer. Ughh..
I went to the closet and picked up a red dress (dress on top). I put it on. I put my red lipstick to match my dress, black eyeliner, mascara, and blush. I grabbed my phone and my purse.
"I'm going out!" I yelled to Joel.
"Alright, call me if you need anything, stay safe," he called back.
"Right..." I mumbled.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"Why are we here?" I asked, sitting down.
"Because I want to spend time with my babe," Ariel replied, sitting in front of me.
"Haha, okay," I opened the menu. We were currently sitting down at a fancy restaurant.
"You don't look so bad," Ariel said, winking.
"You don't look bad either," I replied. And she doesn't. Ariel is a gourgoes girl. She has brown, wavy hair with brown eyes. She was wearing a black dress (dress on top) that fit her body perfectly. I swear she's a model.
We ordered our drinks and food. We talked until our food was ready.
"So what's new girly?" Ariel asked. She can be so perky sometimes.
"Well... Yesterday my mom had a big meltdown again and she left the house," i said, "i haven't seen her since yesterday. I have no idea where she is or where she could be."
"Wow, i'm sorry. I hope you find her or if she comes back."
I nodded.
"Guess what!" Ariel said, clapping her hands and jumping in her seat.
"What?" I laughed.
"I got a date to the dance!"
"Nice! Who?"
"Joshua!! Hottest guy in school."
"Wow, good for you," i sip my drink.
"What about you? You found someone yet?"
"Not really..." Then I thought about that guy at Starbucks. He didn't even tell me his name.
*"Hope to see you again."*
I remembered his voice in my head.
"That's too bad. You will find someone," she said, " i have another great news!"
"What is it now?" I laughed.
"Well... You know that school I've been dying to go to?"
"Yeah. The one in Californa? The one I didn't want you to go to because it's so far away. The one you said you may not get in. And the one-"
"Well, I GOT IN!" she said, clapping her hands.
"What?" I stopped smiling.
"What? You should be happy..." She said, still smiling.
"No I shouldn't, now that means you have to move. which means you won't be with me. Why would you do that?"
"What do you mean 'why would you do that?'" She said, her smile fading away, "you know this was my dream school..."
"Why couldn't you find another school?"
"Are you serious?! I just told to why! I thought you were going to be supportive like a best frind would do,"
"I am being suppo-"
"No you're not! I can't believe you. I can't believe you can't be happy for your best friend for being accepted to her dream school," and that was it. She took the napkin she had in her lap and slammed it on the table, "we're done here," she got up.
"No, Ariel wait I need a ride!"
"Get another ride!" She called out.
"Ariel!" I grabbed my stuff and got up. I took my phone and started texting Joel. I wasn't paying attention on where i was going.
I suddenly tripped on something and fell down.
Next thing I knew water spilled on face, and food went all over me.
And someone was on top of me...
