Today was going to be an amazing day. You may be wondering why? What's so special about today? Well today I'm going to ask my mom if I can go well outside by myself. Alright let me explain myself before you think I'm crazy.
My mom has always been a paranoid person too paranoid to the point where she barely leaves the house and when she does I can see her shaking when she walks out.Now the person I blame is my dad since he left her pretty much a week after I was born. (Well we know who's not winning a father of the year award)
Anyway She always tells me the world is a messed up place and she wouldn't let me be apart of it. When I was little I thought that was how parents treat their kids. But as I got older I noticed the parents in movies and books didn't act like my mom.But I know theres has to be a reason why she's like that. I just have no idea what it is.
The only time I leave my house is when my mom decides to take me grocery shopping. (She only lets me go once or twice a year.) But I want to explore the world live. Not just watch movies and t.v shows and read about life. I plan to experience it.
"Violet you're up already?" My mom says walking into my room holding a cupcake with a candle. It's not light because she claims that me being around fire is to dangerous. Yeah my mom's a little different.(As you can probably tell)Heck I was lucky she let me have the internet. "Happy Eighteenth birthday sweetheart."
"Thanks mom" I smile at her grabbing the cake shoving most the whole thing in my mouth. What can I say.I love chocolate.
"Here you go" My mom smiles handing me a bunch of movies and music albums. The same thing she gets me every year. I think it's her way of making up for the fact that she basically made me rapunzel.A part of me was hoping she was going to tell me to go out and have fun. But I knew that was never going to happen. Maybe in my dreams though it could.
"The new season of teen wolf" I say smiling at the D.V.D. Who doesn't love Stiles? Everyone loves Stiles. My mom smiles at me but it looks forced. "Are you okay Ma?" I ask placing a hand on her shoulder. She nods her gray eyes staring at the wall.She gets like this sometimes like she's in a different world. Her eyes move to my windows which are covered with duct tape to keep anyway from looking in. The windows always been like that since I was little. You don't know how many times I just wanted to rip the duck tape off and just jump out of it.
"I'm going to go make you you're special birthday dinner" She says walking towards the door. I glance at the clock scrunching my eyes up confused. It's only 10 in the morning. She stops in the doorway looking back at me. "I won't let this world ruin you" She says before walking off. Everytime she says that I feel like I'm in some lifetime drama.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Dinner ready" My mom yells from the kitchen. Its already 6. What took her so long to make it? I walk into the kitchen seeing the hamburgers and french fries on the table.
"Yes" I scream grabbing a hamburger shoving it into my mouth. "Mom this is like heaven" She hands me a napkin motioning for me to sit.
"Don't talk with your mouth full" I nod swallowing my food feeling like a five year old.
"Mom theres something I want to ask you?" I set my hamburger on the table preparing for world war three to start. Maybe I should grab a pan and use it as a shield?
"Yes?"
"Well you know how i'm eighteen and you know kinda an adult know I was hoping you would let me go outside you know maybe go to like a mall or something by myself?" My mom eyes widen and she stands up her hands shaking.
"Why would you want to go out there? You don't know what's out there. You don't know what kind of sick monsters walk this earth Violet you won't make it out there" My mom yells grabbing my shoulders shaking me. Is it me or did my mom sound like a tumblr post?
"Mom let go" Well this went as well as expected.
"The world will corrupt you Violet" She screams letting go of me causing me to stumble back. I didn't really know what to say to that. So I grabbed my burger and went into my room shutting the door. I sighed frustration feeling tears stream down my face. Wait I'm eighteen legally an adult. I shouldn't have to ask for permission to go to the mall. I glance at the window.
"Sorry mom" I mumble to myself grabbing the chair from my desk placing it under the door knob. You know what they say you only live once. I walk over to the window tearing the duct tape of it. "This better be worth it" I say jumping out the window. (Don't be fooled my house only has one floor it's not like my room is on the second floor but imagine how freaking awesome it would be if I just jumped out of a two story window)
