Room #12 [hiatus]

CHAPTER 18: Thinking

It has been 3 weeks since I last talked to my parents. Even though it has been hard Emily and her parents made me feel like I was apart of their family.

Even though mine is falling apart...

Mariana went back to New York because she had to go back to school but Jacob decided to stay. School has been the same routine everyday. We all meet in room 12 for lunch and have pointless conversations , sometimes Emily and I would take turns carpooling to school and if I'm in the mood Shawn and I would go out for dates.

It was a Friday afternoon and I'm stuck doing my homework in room 12 because the library was closed. I told Emily that she could have just went home without me but she insisted on staying.

"So you and Shawn have been going out a lot  lately," she said sitting on top of a desk.

" Yea I guess ..." I said looking up from my laptop.

Only 200 more words to type.

"So you guys together now ?"

"You mean as a couple?"

"Duuuh Elle"

" Uh umm I think so?"

" what the hell did you get yourself into Jace," Emily said under her breathe ; but It was clear enough for me to hear.

" Jace ? What does Jace have anything to do with it?"

" uhhh nothing dear just forget what I said" she said walking over to me.

" is your work saved?" She asked

" yeaaaah why?"

Emily shut my computer down and  sat in the chair beside me.

" Elle you haven't talked to your mom in weeks. I know you don't like to talk about it but don't you think you should ?"

" Emily you don't understand. I don't know what to say to them... it's just shocking to me and I just don't know how to process everything."

" Have you given yourself a chance to ?"

I mean she's right ... I haven't given myself a chance to think about it from my mom's point of view .

" I don't know Elle but how about this. Try talking to someone who you can relate to. You know someone who you feel can understand what your going through"

We sat there in silence while you reflected on Emily's words. Mariana wasn't here and I don't want to go over the house to talk to Jacob and risk seeing my mom. With my options limited there is one person that came to my mind.

" hey Em ... can you drop me to Jace's house ?
