✨It Doesn't Even Matter✨

Stop

"Stop." I yelled.
"Allie this behavior is not cool."
"You guys are making me think about my parents just give me a break please." Mom looked at me without saying a word.
"I'm sorry Allie."
"Yeah okay..." I said while going to my window seat. My parents just looked at me and didn't say anything at all. It's like they were secretly judging me over there.
"Can you just leave please?"
"Allie, you're going to therapy tomorrow whether you like it or not."
"Fine. Just go please." And with that they left my room.

"My name is Dr.Hanes. It's nice to meet you Allie."
"Nice to meet you too." I turned to face the other direction.
"Allie you have to look at the doctor."
"It's okay really. So Allie it appears that you are a bit angry no?"
"It's so obvious why are you asking me that?"
"Allison!"
"How about we color hmm? Do you like mermaids?"
"Yeah.." I turned around. I colored in the mermaid peacefully.
"How have you been feeling lately?"
"Terrible!"
"How come?!"
"I keep thinking about my parents, and I keep seeing things."
"Like what?" She asked. I looked at my mother who was urging me to keep going.
"I don't want to talk anymore." I sprinted out into the nearest bathroom. I took deep breaths and stared at the ceiling.

"I have to go get her." I said panicking.
"Leave her she'll come back. Give her a moment to breathe without you being down her throat ever minute or so."
"What are you talking about?"
"You need to give her a little bit of space. Or she isn't going to trust you anytime soon. I understand that you're worried, but for the sake of you and Allies relationship stay here." She was right. I've been doing a bit too much lately. I'm just trying my hardest to be a good parent for Allie and it seems that I'm just making things worse. A couple minutes later Allie came back into the room.
"Ready?"
"Ready."

"Are you feeling better Allie?"
"I guess so. I just want to go to bed and write in my journal."
"Well you have to eat something first and do your home work,"
"But I'm not hungry."
"But when you wake up tomorrow you'll be starving, and you can't starve yourself sweetie."
"Fine." She said while stomping away to her room. I cupped  my hands over my face and took a deep breath. Allie was truly a handful. She has her good moments, but it's moments like these that stress me out.

"Allie are you still awake?"
"Yes mom."
"Do you wanna talk?"
"Sure." I sat on the bed and watched Allie braid  her hair several times.
"What are you doing."
"Braiding my hair so it can dry and when I wake up I'll just take it out and get dressed."
"How's school?"
"It's okay I have two friends. No one picks on me so that's good. Everyone wanted to touch my hair though." She said and then laughed.
"That's because it's so pretty honey."
"I guess. Mom is it okay if my friend comes over Friday? She said she wanted to show me something but she couldn't show it in school."
"Sure, I'll start working Friday but Anne will pick you up and I'll be home for 9. Do you guys want to make it a sleep over?"
"Yes that would be nice! Thank you."
"No problem love. I just want you to get more comfortable around here."

*Allie's POV*
It was the day of the sleepover and I was super duper excited because my friend was supposed to be coming soon. I was looking out the window waiting for her mom to drop her off and kept getting disappointed by every passing car. But then finally Joy came out of her moms car and walked towards my door. Anne went to go open it and introduced herself. I said hi to Joys mom.
"Joy be good and listen okay? I'll pick you up Sunday morning. I'll see you then, bye sweetheart."
"Bye mom." We watched her mom leave and then we ran upstairs to my room.
"Allie, I want to come too." Amaya said struggling to keep up with us.
"Okay, we're just going to play dolls and stuff anyways. Is that okay Joy?" I looked at her for approval.
"Yeah it's okay. I have a little sister we play all the time."
"So are we gonna play with this dollhouse or the other."
"Um this one I guess." Joy said.
"Oh I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For forcing you."
"Oh you didn't force me. It's just that they're both so nice."
"Oh okay." We then played "Family" with Amaya until it was time for her to get ready for bed.
***********
"Look I'm gonna show you the thing now. It's really cool." I climbed over to her side and waited for the big reveal.
"Close your eyes okay? And don't ask questions."
"Okay, I'm ready." I closed my eyes and put my head to my lap.
"Open now." It was dark which made me a tad scared, but I calmed down when I realized that she was just showing me glow in the dark slime.
"That's so cool. Can I have some?"
"Yeah I made some for you look." I smiled as she handed it to me. This was the best sleepover ever. :)
