4 weeks later...



I took a quick shower. After I was done, i dried my hair, and straighten it, letting my hair loose. I put (outfit on top). I did my daily make up. After I was done, i went downstairs.



"Good morning, sunshine!" Joel called.



I took a sit at a stool, "morning," i replied.



"You okay?" He smiled, flipping a pancake.



"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine," i smiled back.



It's been 4 weeks since my mother's death. We found out what happened.



When she left the house, she started taking drugs and stealing them. She took too many drugs and over-dosed. These two people walked by and saw her dead on the side-walk. They called the ambulance. But it was no use.



After we found out about everything, we buried her right next to where we buried our dad. Now that we have no parents, joel is now in charge. He's in charge of the food, house, and me.



He handed me my pancake. I said thanks and started eating. Joel is not a bad cooker. He is actually good. Better than me.

the day went by so fast. After we ate breakfast, joel and I decided to go shopping. We just came back and its currently 10:05 p.m.



I decided to go on Facebook since I haven't gone on in weeks.



Once I logged in, i had 83 messages. Damnn... Some of them were from friends from my school. They messaged me saying if I was okay.



I haven't gone to school since my mother's death. Everyone from my school probably knows about my mom by now. The rumors spread fast at my school.



Most of the messages were from Ariel.



Ariel: Molly we need to talk.
Ariel: MOL, you okay?
Ariel: why haven't you been at school?
Ariel: I'm sorry about your mom ):
Ariel: I'm sorry for storming out on you at the restaurant.
Ariel: mol, please answer me!



I read all of her messages. I felt bad. Why is SHE saying sorry? When I was the one being a bìtch. I sighed. I looked through the photos my friends were posting. Most of them were pictures of them at a party. One caption said:



Having fun at Ariel's party 😉!



Ariel was having a party and didn't invite me? I texted the person who posted the photo and told her to give me the address. she instantly replied.



I grabbed my jacket.



"um joel," i entered his room without knocking. He was laying in his bed, on his phone.



"What?" He asked.



"Um, i.." I had to make up a lie, " i um.. I have a study group I have to go to,"



"At this time?" He looked at the watch he had wrapped around his wrist.



"Um yeah. I have make up work to do, " i lied.



"Alright, but at least come back at 12" he sighed.



"Alright, i will. bye," i closed his door and took a deep breathe.



I put on my jacket and headed out the door.
