The next morning I wake up with the sun shining on my cheeks and with swollen eyes and disbelief,  when did my Terry wake up from her nightmare of dad leaving because I didn't see it coming last night I thought it was a dream guess not because i awake to it it's called reality im happening.

Even though we didn't have much I will miss my room with  purple coloured wall, a single bed, wardrobe and writing table containing my laptop and poetry books I bought last December from a yard sell just to upset my mom because we didn't have money but now I love them, this room and it's simplest was me and it was my sanctuary. It annoyed me knowing it will be someone else's.

I sat up and walked around to absorb it for what might have be the last time and then decided to take a bath, a cold shower to wash away all the pain I felt all the hate I felt towards everybody and everything. After that I went downstairs to find Terry packing to tell me we are leaving in two days imagine two days which means Terry had had it all figured out without involving me to ask how I felt about it.

Sometimes I see why Ronald married Terry they are both selfish and inconsiderate it's funny I guess Ronald got tired of that selfishness first. I didn't say anything to her I did what she asked of me without complaint and without a word because that's the best way to get back at your parents, I said my goodbyes it wasn't as if people cared really because they wanted my mom out of the neighborhood because we were giving them a bad name im pretty sure they had a celebratory party of our departure.

We left on a Friday afternoon to Cape Town in South Africa which I might mention I was happy to see even though I was still angry at Terry I was excited for a new adventure. I only spoke to Terry during the flight I wanted to start at a new place with a new attitude really and so did she.

She hugged me and I hugged her back usually I just stand still but that day I appreciated it very much and I could tell she did too. It's not like I had forgiven her for everything for a new beginning but I will try is all I promised to do.
