The Band From Detention

XI

We are all seated on the grass in my backyard watching the clouds go bye. "Hey that one looks like a bunny." Ratliff pointed out using his index finger to show the direction to the cloud. "No I'm pretty sure it's a old lady riding bike." Rocky stated. I giggled, as they constantly bicker over who is right. "Isn't this so peaceful I wish the whole world was quiet and unharmful as watching clouds. " "I know it's hard to keep telling yourself that your parents care about you when they don't even know that your a vegetarian when you told them 2 months. Or everytime I walk into the house and I yell I'm home they still won't pay attention until your directly in their presence." Vanessa revealed. "I know my dad's stupid girlfriend is hiding my old dad that use to hang out with me all the time, locked up in the basement somewhere." Ross explained."Yeah when your mom want you to follow the exact foot steps of your older brother. I didn't even want to do soccer but since my brother did it, it's not an option not to do it." Riker confessed. "I know how you feel when you dad wants you to be the perfect daughter that can be a perfectionist dancer like my mom. It's like I can't have fun for once. My dad doesn't even know about the band and I'm not looking forward to tell him." Rydel said. "My mom is going through a serious family issue that she won't tell me about and she putting herself into much stress." My dad is in jail." A tear slipped out my ear as I take deep breaths. "After my mom died my dad decided to do some bad things. He keeps sending me letters and I don't respond because it's like he is a total stranger and I just don't know what to say he was my only parent that I have left and I let him slip away. It's all my fault." Ross grasped me in his embrace and wiped my tears away. "It's not your fault he chose that path not you." His soothing voice calmed me instantly. I then started feeling this flutter start from my stomach. My heart was beating faster. Might need some surgery I think I'm going crazy. "Thanks Ross." I whispered enjoying his arms squeezing me. "Hey how about we help you write that letter." I shake my head no. "Guys were so busy with Rehearsing and thinking of songs for Rising Stars. Let's just put my problem aside and after Rising story I'll write the letter." I said compromising. "Okay." "Laura, have finished that song from yesterday." "Actually I just started over I didn't really feel it." I saw my cat walk to her favorite spot, the Weeping willow tree. "That's a really old cat." "Yeah that is the only I have left from my mom everything else is burnt into crispy trash. It's funny how the world is just so unfair. It's like at that very moment the world just turned upside down, went over a mountain and across a lake."

I was at Starbucks enjoying my warm pumpkin spice latte. It feels like the weather took a quick turn to the wrong side it's Spring, but it feels like fall. I was at my same spot in the front looking through the window. It was one Gloomy Day. The dark clouds hovering over us. While we stay underneath enjoying the rain take part of this area. The bare naked tree has one rain droplet hanging on to the end of the tree branch. That droplet is me. I been through so much but somehow I still hang on. "Hey."  I looked up and say those beautiful eyes that just full of secrets. "Hey Ross." I take another sip of my pumpkin spice latte and put my full attention on him.
