The Life Of Dez

9: Tuesday, 22nd August 2017

I'm really sorry I haven't updated for a while . I just didn't have any motivation and I just didn't feel like it. Anyway, our nanny left and we have been doing things ourselves now. Before she left,  she had been acting strangely. She would say she is going to use the ATM or to see her brother and that she would come back soon but she wouldn't come back for hours. Or sometimes maybe she is sweeping and then she will just collapse and be complaining of stomach pain. Or sometimes she will be in her room crying. We will hear her from outside her room. If I asked her why she was crying she would say nothing softly or rudely. I decided to leave her because i have better things to do with my time than to sit around trying to talk to someone who rudely shrugs me off. My mum said that she knew she was going to leave a longtime ago because recently whenever we were going to church she would not come and she always went somewhere and since we always go to my grandmother's house every Sunday, before we come back she would have come back before us and it would look like she was at home since. But I am not stupid. I knew that she was going out somewhere because she didn't go to church and gave the excuse of being sick. There was no way she could be sick every Sunday and only on Sunday. Then there was one time that she said she was going to the pharmacy. It was..........well long story short she said she wants to leave and my mom said they would talk about it but the next day, she left before anyone woke up. Any who that was a (not so) long time ago.
I used an eye as a banner for this chapter because I drew the eye a day before I wrote this chapter. Anywho its five more days till my birthday!!!
I started counting down the days till my birthday sometime after I turned 9 because the age difference between Dawn and I is a year and four months. So my dad said that Dawn, Divine and I each had to turn ten before getting phones. Not that we ever had phones before that. So when Dawn turned 10 and got her phone, I was jealous because every minute she was on WhatsApp and she didn't have time for Divine and I any more so Divine just took the opportunity to annoy the hell out of me and her friends were always fighting (by her friends I mean the boys) and I wanted to feel that because my social life is cruddy. So the countdown wasn't really for my birthday, it was for when I was going to get my phone. But the countdown thing just stuck. When my mom came back from work, she didn't acknowledge all the good things we did in the house. She only acknowledged the bad things. She made it look as if we had done nothing in the house. Then Divine stupidly went and apologize to our mom for the parlour being untidy. Which meant that Divine said that the house was untidy and it wasn't. And our mom was now all over the place sweeping and talking about how she doesn't need this extra work and does she have to come back from work and shout. I mean no one has ever asked her to do any of those things its not like we wouldn't do it if she asked and there was this one time that my mom did the whole sweeping all over the place thing and the next day when we swept the house it was as if it was never swept and you know what that means. It wasn't more than 12hours later and how much dust can form in that little amount of time.
