"I cant do this anymore ..... I'm sorry" that was the last time I heard from him. my dad walked out on my family when I was 8 years old and that was the very last thing he said before he got in his car and drove off. I'm 17 now I go to school like every other kid in this small useless town but I'm the one no one talks to the girl who sits at the back with her head phones until now.....
"hey are you new here?" said Haley Mitchell who was one of the prettiest and most liked girls at school. "ummm yea I'm Kayla " I wasn't really new but since they never talked to me maybe now I can become liked and get friends. "well how about u have lunch tomorrow and we can talk and get to no you some more Kayla" she said without even making eye contacted with me she just stared at her phone her fingers moving from letter to letter. "ummm sure id.." "Great see you then" she cut me off got up and left for the bus.
When my bus pulled up to my stop I got off and made my way up the drive way to my very small house that looked like a shed. you see when my dad left my mom broke she lost her job started drinking and now I take care of her I have been doing so since I was 10 that's when everything feel through. As I get to the door I took out my keys and opened the door to see my mom passed out on the floor with a bottle in her hand so I walked up to her and helped her on the couch then went to my room. I laid on my bed thinking of my life before now....
FLASH BACK STRATS
" I got it " I yelled jumping up and down holding the baseball in my hand." at a girl I new you could do it " my dad said picking me up and spinning me around in the summer air. "can you promise me something sweetheart" he said holding me in his arms. " what's that daddy" " Promise me you will never change" he said looking down at me. " never daddy " " I love you baby girl " " I love you more" " I love you most"
FLASH BACK OVER
I felt tears well up in my eyes and I quickly got up wiped my eyes and went to see if mom was awake. I have cried since the day my dad left and I'm not going to start now. I walked down the stairs and to no surprise she was still passed out on the couch. I shook my head walked back to my room throw my self on my and laid there this time thinking but not about my dad this time I was thinking about Haley and how I could finally fit in.
