A Boy With Emotion

25. Camp?

25. Camp?

My first week of being at New York happened only three more weeks to go. It's now the second Monday morning I've been through.

Not much happened in the week I met Emie and failed to talk to Julie. She said she would give me five minutes but she turned that to two minutes.

I noticed my computer ringing so I opened it to see Skylar calling. I didn't feel like talking to her but there was probably more to the story.

I pressed answer and saw the girl with colorful hair. "Hey Skylar"

"Hey babe." I wanted to yell at her when she said that but she wouldn't understand why.

"Listen I need to talk to you." I quickly went to that subject. I really needed an answer it pains me to know she doesent like or love me as much as she said she did.

"Yeah what's wrong."

"I know your dating Paul and I know you had or did stuff." I said looking down. I didn't want to look at her because I was upset.

"What are you talking about? Babe if Julie said anything she's probably lying."

"She's not lying." I said looking at her.

"Yeah she is." She was getting me boiled inside.

"I saw you!" I didn't actually yell but I felt like I needed to.

"What? How did yo- perv."

"Pervert? I am no pervert. I decided one day to call my girlfriend that I love oh so very much but only to see Paul and then you guys making out when you got out of the shower and I ended the call before I could see anything else."  I said in distaste.

"Wha- you are a hor- Oh my god. First off me and him were swimming that day and second I just. I'm sorry." She sounded desperate but I don't care if she needs me or not.

"Sorry won't do anything. Good bye loose my number and keep the gifts." I closed my laptop and grabbed a pillow. I held it to my chest.

Mikayla woke up and got breakfast she sat next to me on the couch.

"Hey kiddo." She said ruffling my hair.

"Hey." I said quietly.

"So I have to talk to you." She said taking more bites of here cereal.

"Yeah?" I looked up.

"What do you think about a art camp?"

My eyes went wide. I hope she didn't sign me up for a camp because I am not on good condition to be around more people.

"Emie is going to go and it's Tuesday's, Thursday's, and Saturdays."

Emie was cool and it would be cool if we were both going to the camp but still that doesn't mean I need more friends.

"Come on what's the worst that can happen?"

She was right. I didn't know anyone there so it could be a fresh start for me. People here do seen more different than from back home.

"I guess."

"Do I start this week." I added.

She nodded her head and skipped to her room. Probably to tell Jacob the news.

I wasn't ready for an art camp I just got here. I hardly brought any of my supplies too so hopefully they'll have supplies.

I decided to text Emie to tell her. I hope she saved my number.

After I texted her I made me a bowl of cereal. I've never seen so much cereal in my life and I'm pretty sure all of the boxes were Jacobs. He always told mom when he's out of the house all he'll have in his fridge is cereal. He was right.

Fruity pebbles
Ice cream fruity pebbles
Chocolate pebbles
Honey nut Cheerios
Cheerios
Captain Crunch
Donut Captain Crunch
Chocolate Lucky Charms

I'm pretty sure they're were more boxes stuffed in the back but I didn't feel like looking so I grabbed Cheerios poured some sugar in my bowl and ate away.

I really liked putting sugar in my bowl instead of regular sweet cereal. It had a better taste.

As I was eating Mikayla left for school and Jacob went out job hunting. I was home alone and I was definitely gonna take that advantage.

Mikayla has classes till seven and Jacob won't be back till three and it was ten right now. I cleaned out my bowl and left it in the sink.

So dating mean going shopping a lot with Skylar. She went to this place called lush and bought me a bath bomb for a bath. I told her it was too girly for me but she still found a way to bring it to me so I'm deciding to use it.

I turned the bath on so that warm water was pouring out. I then got Jacobs body wash and emptied half of it into the bath. He can buy more it's really cheap.

After the bath was half full I dropped in the dark blue bomb. I didn't really know what it did besides spew glitter and color the water.

I stripped my clothes off and turned on the dimmer light setting, played music on my phone, and hopped in.

I could feel the bath bomb exploding on me. It was a tingly feeling but it relaxed me. Still don't understand what a bath bomb does but it's still cool.

I feel like people don't understand me enough and it's not like I'm hiding myself away and washing away my troubles with achohol like Jacob did.

I guess I was never given the same treatment as Dylan and Jacob but I was definitely forced to be more independent. There would be nights where my parents were to busy looking for a drunk Jacob that I would have to make my own dinner.

My parents went to ever event Bryan invited them too no matter how long but in my school play that was forty-five minutes they couldn't attend because they had to watch Bryan get interviewed for school.

A lot of people seem to think I have the picture perfect life but I'm neglected by almost everybody. I guess that's why I turned to Skylar, drugs, and partying.

This bath is really helping me think about me and learn about myself but I've never realized how bad I've got it. Sure my parents bought me video games, art supplies, and a new room but they never really talked to me about my feelings.

I slowly moved my hands around in the water to feel the warmth it gave me. I felt comfortable like this and I didn't want to move. I was in peace and away from everything dark, evil, and scary well besides the dark colored bath bomb but that gave me a sense of relief. I wanted to start new and gain a new attitude maybe even move away.

This is probably gonna be like a 35 or 40 chapter book but that still is long. I do really like how this story is taking a turn and Dylan's getting comfortable in his own skin. He's really showing his true colors don't you think.
