Taking chances (Ethan Karpathy)

I cant believe you didnt tell me!

"Well what?" I say eager to know. " oh.... there's nothing really I wanted to say. i just wanted you to feel worried" he laughs. "well Ethan you did an AMAZING job" I exaggerate. "well you better go get packing ready for LA!" he screams. " keep it down in there you two" his aunty tells from the kitchen. "I'm so exited! I can hardly wait! LA BABY HERE I COME!" I scream running out the door going to go and get ready for LA... YEAH!

I get back at my house to find millions of packets of cigarettes and beer bottles everywhere. but there's no sight of mum. so I check in all of the rooms except one..... my bedroom. so I creep up to my bedroom and look through the crack in the door. I see mum lying on my bed with bottles of beer surrounding her and a cigarette still alight in her mouth. so I realise she's not sleeping or else she'd probably take the cigarette out of her mouth. so I pretend I don't know that she has a bad drug problem and 're-enter' the house again saying "MUM I'M HOME". She comes out the room and walks, or, tries to walk into the lounge room.

"What do you want?" My mum says. "um nothing but I'm kind of home... just saying" I say back. "ehh whatever" mum said. Mum use to have drinking problems I heard from my dad who's in America right now. Well there's nothing I can do about my mum so I really just ignore her and get straight to packing. So after a couple of hours I finish packing all my stuff and I go into the kitchen for dinner. well obviously my mum is still high from drugs and didn't prepare nothing so I had to catch a bus and get KFC for dinner. well it's better than any home cooked meal, but you have to pay for it which is the sad thing.

So I catch the bus home and when I get home the house is completely spotless. there's no bottles on the ground there's no cigarettes lying around so I'm just really REALLY relieved mum is over that drug stage. but I wonder why?. but then I hear giggles coming from the kitchen and see a very tall male figure sitting on the counter talking to my mum. "mum.... who is this?" I ask confused. "oh sweetie this is uhhh. hold on one second Brad" my mum says staring into his eyes. " ok look, me and your father just couldn't handle a long distance relationship so.... so we divorced" my mum says with a fake frown. " and you didn't have the common courtesy to tell me this?!!?" I raise my voice at her. " well it wouldn't effect your life as much as mine!" she yells. " no because he's obviously not my dad who looked after me for 13 years!!" I screamed with tears rolling down from my eyes. " look honey" "No!" I snap back at her cutting her off. "your my own mother and you didn't tell me about this?" "well your obviously to busy with Brad so yea um... BYE!" I say proud of what I did. I feel like crap. so the only thing that makes me feel better is Ethan... so I'm going to 'travel' to his house. I say to myself trying to lighten me up a bit.
