"Bye honey I’ll be back before nine i promise, say hi to your dad for me" my mom said rushing out the door.

"Okay mum, bye" i said in a rough tone.

I heard the front door close i peered through the window at my mum getting in the car she waved goodbye and left.

"Dad" i yelled, he came down the stairs carrying a suitcase brief.

"Yeah son" he asked adjusting his tie.

"Mum said hi" I said.

"Ok that’s nice, I’ve got to go I’m gonna be late for work, bye Evan" he said as he rushed out the door.

i hate this, i hate being alone like this my parents are always working and are never home and when they are here i feel happy but also guilty because ever since my little sister Abby died they haven’t been the same and by the look in their eyes i think they blame me i mean if i wasn’t late picking her up from school she wouldn’t have been hit by a car.

Every day since then i have been alone before i didn’t have any friends but i had Abby to talk to she was like a best friend to me ever since i lost her things have changed i became a ghost to my parents most of the time and at school i have become the bullied, in the last few months I’ve come to terms with Abby’s death , i am finally getting on with my sad excuse for a life.

I sat on the lounge flicking through the channels whilst eating some potato chips i found in the kitchen, god it is boring.

As I dug into the bag of chips I heard a knock at the door.

I got up lazily and opened the door

"Hi are Mr and Mrs Maxwell here" said the man with a bag of mail in his hand.

“Not right now, im there son I’ll take the mail” I replied.

I grabbed the mail and said bye to the man and shut the door i looked down at the mail, it was from dad’s work place i got curious and opened it, and it read

What the fuck is this… moving?

i don’t want to move, this has to be some kind of joke, this is a mistake it has to be.

I kept pacing the room until my dad was home, surprisingly both my parents came home at the same time they have never done that before.

“Evan dear sit down we need to have a talk" mum said in a stern voice.

Oh shit here it comes i don’t want to hear this.

"Evan honey your dad got a job offer and we have to move, we will be moving by the end of this week" she sighed.

"What don’t i get any say in this" i said trying not to scream.

"Im sorry honey it’s too late we are moving and that’s final" my mom said trying to make me come to terms with this.

i got so upset i ran up the stairs ,locked my door and ran into the bathroom that was in my bedroom and locked that door too i turned on the taps so they couldn’t hear me crying i open up the draw and grabbed the razor from it and held it to my wrist ,
