Day 2
I woke up to mom and dad arguing. Probably about money again. I hate hearing them shouting at each other, they never used to argue like this back when we lived in London. Everyone was happy back then but now, everything is a mess.
I got given my report card today at school, I got Cs and Bs. I was just happy I passed but when I showed mom and dad my report card they were very disappointed. They've already called me a disappointment a few times before because according to them I haven't even tried to feel at home in California. I've tried trust me on that one. All I want is to feel at home here but I can't feel at home here if I'm not happy here. My parents should have realized that I'm not happy, after all they are my parents, but they don't even see me enough to remember what my face looks like. They leave before I wake up and come home when I'm alseep.
Even on their days off they're busy with paperwork or meeting up with work mates, just anything to prevent them from spending time with me.
My best friend, Natalie, comes home with me almost everyday after school to do homework or just to keep me company and most of the time I feel like she's the only one who cares about me. My parents don't care what I do or who I'm with anymore. For all they know I could be pregnant and they wouldn't even notice until the baby was crying at 2 in the morning.
Would they even notice if I was gone?
Natalie's parents have always said I was welcome there anytime. They probably care about me more than my own parents.
I want to go somewhere I feel wanted. I'm going to pack some bags and go to Natalie's, my parents won't care. They won't even notice I'm gone until they want me the mop the floors or something.
I'm leaving tonight, see if they care then.
