99 Days

Day 23 Tuesday

I wake up on the couch at Ethan's house. I am really tired. I spent all night gaming to defuse the anger in me. I wish it had been Saturday, I don't want to spend the day around a bunch of people I hate.

I walk into his bathroom and try to fix my messy hair. I was suffering from extreme bed head. It was awful, I heard Ethan laugh a bit when he saw me. I'm not surprised, I would laugh at me too if I wasn't still so pissed. I asked him if I could borrow a shirt since I slept in my clothes. He handed me a hoodie that he said didn't fit him anymore, though it was still pretty big on me. But I didn't care, it was warm and comfortable and that's all that matters.

Ethan and I walked to school together. I absolutely dreaded it. I didn't want to go, but I couldn't just ask my mom to call me in.

I absolutely hated class. I didn't want to listen to any of my teachers. All of the students annoyed me. I just simply didn't want to be there. During lunch I took a nap, laying my head down on the table. I hadn't decided if I was going home after school. If I do it's to get some clothes. Mom wouldn't force me to stay home, neither would dad. They just want me to be happy. Even if that means I am not home with them.

By fourth hour I decided to grab some clothes and stay with Ethan. It's easier to be around him. He doesn't force me to talk about my feelings like my girl friends would. And he won't make me feel bad like my parents would. And with him I can continue to let off steam. We walk to my house and my mother had another one of her 'guy friends' over. I just stared at her when I walked in. Ethan chose to wait outside for me. He didn't want to be around my mom either. I ran up to my room and grabbed my duffle bag filled with my emergency clothes for when I had ran away. Which was only once but I kept it just in case. I was back downstairs in no time at all. I quickly let myself out not even telling my mom that I was staying with Ethan. I didn't care either. I just wanted to get as far away as possible.
