Flipped Upside Down

Chapter 4.

*Chresanto*

"What did I ever do to anyone?" I was inferior. I could still feel my eye brow twitching. I was beyond pissed at that moment.

"Roc you cannot let her get to you. That's exactly what she wants." Ms. Maria explained to me as she took notes.  Roc is my nickname. My friends call me roc. Well I consider my counselor a friend she is the closest thing to me besides my dad. She reminds me of my mom. The way she knows the answers to basically everything. She's so kind. The way her brown skin tone glows when she smiles. She's perfect in my eyes. I miss her so much. I felt a smile spread across my face.

Ms.Maria smiled at me as I smiled.  "How is you're dad doing? " Ms. Maria asked

"He's getting better I guess. He started cooking dinner again. He's been working on getting his job back. "

"And you're brother and sister?"

"She's not doing well, she wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares about mom, so yeah.  And Jacob I really think he's fine he's good at hiding his feelings. He walks around school like nothing happened."

My family hasn't been the same ever since my mom was killed in an airplane crash a couple months ago.It landed right in the ocean. She was on her way back from the vacation me and my brother Jacob sent her on to Hawaii. We felt like she needed some time to enjoy herself and not stress like she always does. What a mistake we made. I got my mom killed I'm so fucking stupid. The worst part about it is that they never found her body. No one survived that crash. And I never saw her again.

"So the real question is how are you doing?" The concern in her eyes was genuine.

"I'm good."

"Don't lie to me chresanto , I can see it in you're eyes. Her tone got sharp and as I thought about it i realized I wasn't okay. I could feel the tears form in my eyes. Images of my mom came in my head. Her curly brown hair that would never get straight no matter how many times she straightened it. Her beautiful green brownish eyes. My sister has eyes just like her. The thoughts made tears pour out of my eyes. They wouldn't stop. I wiped them, they came back. Ms. Maria came over to comfort me. It always feels good to release all that stress.

"It's okay chresanto let it all out. " She held me and wiped my eyes.

By the time I was finished with my session it was fourth hour. I didn't mean to be this late to class. But the bright side is that I feel happy again. Hopefully no one kills my vibe. ------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this wasn't really confusing basically Jacob (prince) is roc's brother. They're mom was killed in a car accident and Roc hasn't been the same. Things will get better and I'll post more.  Vote/Comment/Share.
