The flip of a coin

Destroyed by my own energy

"No" Conner I do not feel the same way anymore. I turn and look him dead in the eyes, I would be totally fine with you and I being friends but if you grab my ass like that again, We are gonna have problems.
He stumbles back, "You don't even put out, I ain't wasting time on no bitch."
I turn and walk faster to my car, I think to myself "High school is so the best four years of your life" I laugh to myself and jump in my car.

I walk in the front door and see my mother in the kitchen stressing over a cookbook, I walk in and seat at the counter.
Mom, it smells amazing! What are you making!
Some French named food. She says obviously very stressed out.
Ever since dad pasted away two years ago, I've been seeing less and less of my old mother shine through, now she works to please her new husband and his kids. I miss her but I know telling her will only make me seem selfish.
Where's Ron and the boys? I ask.
Gone. Ava I'm pretty busy here, Can you give me some space.
I grab an apple and exit the kitchen without another word, Ron and the boys seem to get most of her attention now, it's probably hard for her to go from a one child household to getting remarried and gaining three new boys, which are quit younger then me. I walk up the flight of stairs to my bedroom and grab my laptop.

"Dinner kids" my mother yells from the kitchen.
I hear the footsteps from the boys running down the stairs when I exit my room. I make it down to dinner and see this very well but together dinner my mom put together and I'm actually proud of her.
"Boys do not throw the bread at each other!" My mom yells across the table. I take a seat and wait for the feast to begin.
"Everyone dig in" Ron says as he folds his newspaper and grabs his fork and knife.

Dinner is pretty silent today except for the occasional fighting of the boys and mom yelling at them to stop. I take a second to look around at my new family. First I look at Ron, the total opposite of my dad. Grey hair and built more on the slim side, with some bluish eyes. My dad was built bigger and had no signs of grey hair with brown eyes, was a happy guy, you couldn't really take him serious he was always joking around. Ron's boys from his previous wife, look just like him, well the twins do slim brown hair and blue eyes even at 15 they act very rowdy but are also very intelligent, now their brother who is 8 is a troubled child with listening problems, he hates my mom and makes it very known.

I finish my plate and ask to be excused. I get up and wash off my plate and head to my room with a final good night to the people who are now my family.

•Message from MeetMe•
I check my laptop and see a Kevin has messaged me. Don't judge I started this when we moved to California to live with Ron so I could make new friends. It's been five years and I haven't really logged on lately do to the fact I was dating that dirtbag Conner but now that we are done I logged back in.

••Kevin: I know you probably get lots of compliments about how beautiful your eyes are but here's one more for the books, message me whenever, I would love to talk to you. Xoxo••

I blush and close my laptop I don't think I'm ready to go down that road just yet. I turn off my lights and get snuggled under my blankets.
"Dad, it's been one more day without you and I miss you like crazy. I love you.." Goodnight.
