Hidden Love {Finished}

nothing is wrong

"You're plastic, imperfect, just scared to fall, try to knock me down when you find a flaw. These games you play are messing with my mind. Making you and I so hard to find."

We both stood there waiting for the other person to speak.
Asher’s mom crossed her arms and sighed.
“Annie you should go. I'll see you tomorrow.” Asher broke the silence.
“Okay.” I grabbed my phone and left. When I was at the door I turned around and mouthed to Asher “I'm sorry”. He gave me a look saying that I was fine. I smiled and blew him a kiss. He smiled and I left to go home.
I couldn't imagine what Asher’s mom would say. He'd probably be grounded. His mom is probably disappointed in him and it's all my fault. I drove home without any music on and went the long way.

“You're home late.” My mom said when I walked in.
“I had detention.”
“Why?”
“I slapped someone. Why would care anyway?”
“Because I'm your mother.” She replied.
“You sure don't act like it. You're either with Hayley or at work. You don't know what is going on in my life.”
“Then tell me what is going on.”
“There's nothing to tell you.” I said and went upstairs.
I sat on my bed and starting crying.
Why didn't my mom care? Why wasn't she there for me? Why couldn't Asher and I just have some time alone without someone interrupting us?
After a few minutes I heard a knock on the door.
I wiped my face and said “come in”
“Annie?” Caleb said as he opened the door. “What's wrong?”
“I don't know.” I replied.
“What do you mean you don't know?”
“It's like nothing is actually wrong, I'm just sad.”
“Or you don't want to tell me. Mom told me you were upset because of her. What did she do?”
I didn't speak for a second. “Ever since dad died it's like I don't even matter. She's never cared. She thinks that I'm too old to have a good childhood so she focuses on Hayley and makes her childhood nice.” I sighed. “And when she does talk to me she'll just criticize me or not even care.” I finished.
“I know, but maybe if you don't feel comfortable here you should move in with me.”
I looked up at him confused.
“Once I get my last paycheck I'm gonna move into an apartment find a job and take online school.”
“Really?” I asked.
“Yeah”
“Okay I'll think about it.”
Caleb smiled and got up to leave.
“Oh and get your laundry out of dryer I need it.” Caleb said before he left my room.
