It's been a week since the dream. I haven't talked to Joshua much only small talk on the way to school. A downside to his "I'm fine with small talk don't feel the need to say more" personality is you never know what's going on. He shuts you out so you don't know what's wrong. I haven't had a dream since the dream which is nice. I feel stuck in a routine everyday. Wake up, school, go home, homework, dinner, tv, bed. Depressed about it, I have one friends who's shutting me out and won't even tell me why, my mom has work and when I do see her it's either right before bed or in short car rides. I need an escape. My mom suggested I should find a hobby, drawing, painting, writting, whatever to distract me. She suggested a vacation but I know that's much too pricey. We aren't poor or rich, we get on well and I have some things I want. But that's about it. The only money I get is helping the neighbors and a birthday or Christmas check from my grandparents. I've decided to save up for college. I'm a senior so next year I'll be starting college and I want my mom to not have to worry about much.
On Saturday my mom has half a day at work. I stay home get homework done and do chores. My mom comes home at two and I make us a quick lunch of some sort of deli sandwich."Cameron I've been thinking alot about your dream you had." she pauses swallowing the food in her mouth before continuing. "I wouldn't worry about it but I've decided to send you on vacation."
I spit the water I had in my mouth all over the counter. "What! What does my dream have to do with the vacation?" I haven't been on vacation since I was four. It was a trip to DC and it was 48 hours long. But I remember having alot of fun riding on the subway.
"Oh it doesn't have anything to do with the dream. I just think you could use a little vacation is all." She says casually. My mom is being casual and that is scaring me more than anything else in the situation.
"Mom you keep saying you. Are you saying I'm going by myself?" She can't be. She doesn't even let me walk to school by myself.
"Yes. You leave for England tomorrow." I sit on the stool at the counter in disbelief. What is going on. Is she trying to get rid of me? England, why England? I feel almost sick about going by myself. I don't mind staying home when my mom has work trips, but still by myself in a different country?
"Where will I stay. What about school? I don't want to fall behind and graduate late. What are you gonna do? I don't want you to be lonely."
"Calm down! You're going to stay with my sister, aunt Cherry. The school has arranged for you to use the same program but as a system online. I talked to the principle, it took some convincing but I trust you can learn on your own. You can ask me or your aunt if you have issues. What was your other question I forgot?"
I think for a moment trying to remember what it was. "Mom I just can't leave you. What are you gonna do by yourself?" I bite down on my lip. I can't leave my mom all alone. She's my best friend. She's still my mom though and doesn't try to be cool. But I tell her everything and it's not weird. I'll miss too much.
"Oh don't worry about me. I'll get a cat or something. And Cameron you'll be there for three months. Please enjoy yourself and don't worry about me." What is happening. How on earth is this happening to me?
"Three months! Are you trying to get rid of me? Did I do something wrong? Mom I can be better and try to help or something." I can't think of anything I did but it may not be anything I would notice. Stop hyperventilating, I try to tell myself.
