"She's depressed and doesn't know what to do with her life and you expect saying "just be happy " is going to help ?!" I could hear my mom talking about me to my dad about what my brother said to me the other day . She's right it didn't help but he's only 8 and doesn't really understand and it didn't even bug me I don't get why it bugged her . Honestly this is maybe the first time she's ever cared which I find weird because I'm not even depressed.

"Hey George what ever mom says to you it's okay , okay ?" I said taking a seat next to him in the living room .

"I don't get why she's mad at me I just said be happy , I thought I was being helpful."

"You were being helpful to me but she thinks you were being rude and you weren't trying to be. Uh see I don't know why she cares for me all of a sudden but whatever she says just sit and pretend you're listening but shes just going through something I think ." I really don't know what to tell this kid he's not really tough especially since my parents split .

On my own personal note I think she's "caring so she can win full custody to get the money but I know she wouldn't use for us like it's supposed to be , if you're lost we stay weekends with her most of the time and my dad gets us through the rest of the week. She blames it on me on why she can't do anything because I got the choice on who to live with since I'm the oldest that still lives with the parents . My brother is to young to know what's right so I had to choose for him as well and my older sister just helps my dad take care of us. My mom doesn't realize that she can change her life if she stopped the drugs and did school but who am I to say what's right I'm only 15 . Don't get me wrong I love her but she's to irresponsible she's 40 trying to act 17 I'm glad I chose my dad . My mom is the "funner " parent but it gets out of hand sometimes I don't get her deal all the time but I think those are the times she's high.

"Hey why do y'all want to eat for dinner?" My mom said taking me out from my inner thoughts.

"Pizza and hot wings ?!" My brother said with a glow and grin on his face.

"I don't care as long as he eats." I said watching the tv.

"Umm okay pizza it is I'll order the usual then, did y'all want to rent movies like last time?"

"Sure ." My brother and I said at the same time but in different tones. Every weekend is the same except when my dad lets me off the hook to hang out with friends instead of my mom. Don't get me wrong again it's nice to watch tv all day and eat junk but it get repetitive after a while.

Buzz buzz ... Buzz buzz
"Hey how's it going ?" Said jack
"It's okay if the same as always. How's your Saturday going ?" Although it's a simple question his messages make my days way better even if we don't talk about anything.

"You know how my dad is a parties but it's not that bad you should come it'd be nicer all the other kids our age talk about drugs and drinking and they're acting "cool " ya know " I guess you could say parties aren't his think he's just at quince that I wish I was at.
"Try to have fun and I would go but no car and it's my moms weekend my dad would kill her if she let me out of her sight :/ " I love quinces and dancing and he knows this but oh well like sucks for me most of the time.
"It's okay my parents are forcing me to another next weekend try to come please save me a deal of boredom!"

"I'll try I promise !"

Time passed I guess his phone died we got the pizza watched the movies it was nice I'm surprised my mom didn't lecture my brother like she did my dad about the be happy situation. Maybe she's actually done with the drugs I mean she had no choice but it took her a while, maybe she actually cares ..
