I guess at some point today, I feel asleep. I looked at the clock and remembered that I had to go pick Piper up. I walked into the bathroom to fix my hair.
I wonder what it's like
To wake up and love yourself
To look in the mirror and not want to cry
To weigh yourself, look at the number, and not want to puke
To be with friends and not feel ugly
To go into public and not feel insecure
To go shopping for clothes and not feel fat
I just wonder; what it's like to love your life
I huffed and grabbed my hair brush. I brushed it and left. When I got there, Jacob and Justin were already outside. They ran in the house and a couple of minutes later Justin came back out with his bags. He didn't say a word to me the whole time, which was odd. When we got home, mom wasn't there. (Thank God!) Justin went right up to his room when we got home and yet again ignored me. At around 7:00, I wentup to his room to talk to him.
"Knock knock..." I said tapping on his wide open door.
"What?" he asked. His voice sounded as if he was crying.
"What's wrong?"
He hesitated before he answered. "Why does mom hate us?"
I paused for a minute. "What do you mean?"
"I mean she's never home and when she is she's drunk and abusive. Why is that?"
"I wish I had the answer for you but I dont." He laid down and looked at the ceiling. I sighed and patted his head. I stood up, shut off the lights, and shut the door.
"I love you, Justin." I whispered as I returned back to my room. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.
