I wake up to my mom yelling and crashing.

I slowly get out of bed and turn on my lamp. I go to my door and crack it open just a little so I could see down the stairs.

"Don't you dare, James! You knew damn well that it would come to this! I'm tired, James! If you and your sorry ass! Get out of my house and stay out! I don't want you near Elena and the boys!-"

"Mom?" I say quietly and step out of my door.

Her head whipped up to look at me as well as my fathers.

"Honey go back to bed." My mom says and puts a hand on her forehead.

"What's going on? When did you get back?" I ask looking between my parents.

"Nothing and he's leaving." My mom say.

I look at my dad, who looked guilty of something and very sad.

"Can I say bye to her?" He says. My mom looks at me then my dad.

He starts to walk up the stairs and once he finally gets to me he takes me into a hug.

"Dad what's happening?" I question.

"I'm just leaving for a while, I'll see you again, don't worry." He kisses my head and walks back to where my mom was. He kisses her head, she tried to push him away, then grabs his keys and leaves.

"Go to sleep, Elena."

"Tell me what happened, why is dad leaving? Where is he going?"

"Elena, I said go to sleep!" She yells. I could tell she was ready to cry.

I put my head down and look at my feet before walking back to my room.

Right before I got back into bed it hit me, they're splitting up.

I felt tears form in my eyes.

A life without my mom and dad together would be terrible. They never fight or get mad at each other, I don't understand what happened. Everything was fine before he left for a business trip two weeks ago. Wait. A business trip? He's a nurse why would he have to go on a trip?

He cheated.

How could my dad cheat? He loves my mom, and me and Hayes and Nash. he knows how much it would hurt us. Why?

Don't jump to conclusions, Elena, you don't even know if that's true or not. But it's the only explanation.

Before I knew it I was crying. God I cry too much. I think to myself.

But I'm not going to have my dad anymore. He's not going to be with us like he usually is. My mom might not let me see him, she did say stay away.

I really need my best friend. But he's gone now.

I decided to call my friend Mikey. We've been friends since the beginning of 4th grade. She's really made an impact in my life. I used to not have any friends and I would get bullied but she came to my school and she stood up for me and helped me make more friends. Even though I never really stayed friends with anyone but it helped.

I get my phone and dial her number.

"Why are calling me its 2 in the morning!" She groans.
"Can you come over? I really need you." I sniffle.
"Of course I'll be over there soon."

After she hung up I put my phone on charge and went under my covers.

After waiting about 10 minutes I heard my window be opened. I look over and see Micky crawling through.

"Hey you ok? What happened?" She asks.

"My mom kicked my dad out, I think he cheated or something. I don't know but I really need a hug." My eyes start to tear up.

She hugs me and rubs my back as I cry.

"Where's Hayes and Nash?" She asks confused.

"They went on tour, Magcon or something like that. They won't be back for a month."

"Oh. Well I'll be here ok? So call me whenever." I nod.

"I know something else is on your mind. What's going on?" She asks.

Should I tell her?

"Me and Hayes kinda maybe had sex..." I bit my lip.

Her eyes widen. "What?! When?! Where?! How-"

"Shush." I hush her. "Whisper."

"Tell me everything." She says.

"So the other night when I found out Hayes and Nash were leaving I had like a big breakdown because, you know, I won't be able to see them for a month and I was just freaking out about it. While I was crying Hayes came into my room and comforted me. Well next thing I knew we were kissing. Then out clothes were off and yeah." I breathed out.

"Woah. Dude you lost your virginty to Hayes."

"Yeah. And I still date Blake. Bad thing is that a couple weeks ago Blake wanted to have sex and I stopped him and said I wasn't ready. But I was for Hayes. I don't understand how I was so comfortable with Hayes but not Blake." I face palm and groan.

"You so like Hayes. No not like... Love." She says and laugh. I just look up and her and roll my eyes.

"I do not like Hayes. It was just in the moment." I say.

"Yeah but you wouldn't of let it happen if you didn't like him." She says in a weird tone

"Ok we're off the subject now. We should watch Netflix and eat popcorn." I smile.

I'm still sad about everything but I'm going to try my best to keep it off my mind. Hopefully I will stop thinking about all of it and be back to normal soon.
