Dear Diary, Life is trying me

Entry 13

Pic is of the latest commandment.

Dear Oliver,

I'm no less cowardly than I was yesterday, so I didn't go back to the park. I just couldn't. I have all of these doubts, and I really need to stop worrying so much about what he thinks of me.

Plus, something crazy happened this morning. I probably couldn't have seen Frank unless I had found some way to sneak out.

For some reason I woke up really early again, and just like yesterday, Mikey was sneaking in to get his shit.

But there was something very different today.

Actually, two somethings.

"Where have you been?" My father asked him sternly.

Shit is going down.

I honestly didn't think they cared.

I stayed hidden behind my parents so that I wouldn't be seen.

"For the past week, we haven't seen you?"

He didn't reply.

"Do you think this is funny?!"

He looked down at his feet.

Mom and Dad looked at each other, and nodded.

"No tv for a week," Mom said.

"No leaving the house until the end of spring break unless we're with you," Dad continued.

"And NO VIDEO GAMES!" they yelled in unison.

I chuckled because Mikey LOVES his video games.

"Oh, you think this is funny, huh?" Dad said as he turned toward me. I guess they saw me.

I shouldn't have done that.

"No music for you."

My world crumbled.

"Really, dad, let's talk about this-"

Mikey shot me a smug smile from over Dad's shoulder.

"Oh, that's not enough for you?! Fine! You can't leave the house, either," Dad yelled.

I shut up.

Then he and Mom walked away.

The rest of the day was spent playing Mikey's video games (because he couldn't). And I could hear my music being played from Mikey's room.

Yes, the damn bastard stole my iPod and was playing my music to taunt me. He even messed with the settings and made the bass barely audible.

Which is weird, considering he's a bass player.

Commandment #4

Thou shalt not REMOVE THE FUCKING BASS FROM A ROCK SONG.

Gah.

So, today sucked.

And Dad didn't say when my grounding would be over.

And it really bothers me that he punished me for no reason.

Fml.

XO,

G
