*bell rings*

"Alright g, I'm heading out. See ya tomorrow!"
I say waving to Kalany.

As I turn around I accidentally run into someone.

"Shit I'm sorry!" I say looking up only to meet the eyes of someone I'd rather not socialize with.

"It's cool...just be lucky it was me you ran into and not some douche." He looks at me showing no emotion. He wasn't angry, wasn't happy either, just bare...and then walks away.

I probably deserve that..but at least he's not making my life hell.

"Wait.." Shit, what am I doing?

He stops, not turning around.

"Yeah?"

"Have you been doing okay?"

He turns around and looks at me as if I've just given him the biggest insult ever.

"This is some shit. Why do you care?.."

💔

"That's fucked up Carl..."

"Don't you dare talk about what's fucked..what was fucked...was you leaving me, when I needed you the most-"

Ohh classic. He takes a deep breath.

"It's not worth it."
He continues walking away.

"You can think what you want..but it's doesn't mean it's the truth."

He stopped and looked at me one last time.

"..and it doesn't mean you weren't wrong either."

I thought I felt a tear drop. I touched there in that spot but it was dry.

I don't have anymore tears. I'm numb.

"Grandma, I'm home!" I shouted walking inside my small house as the smell of a delicious meal in the air filled my nose.

I shut the door behind me and placed my book bag close to the sofa.

"Grandma! Where are you?"

I walked into the kitchen to find her completely focused on the cooking book.

"Grandma! Hey!" I say trying to get her attention.

"Ohh hey Sweets! How was school?"

"It was okay. When did you get here?"

"A couple of hours ago, I stocked the fridge and paid a few bills."

"You didn't have to do that, I put in extra at work but thank you so much."

"You're so welcome, and yes I had too because you're good for nothing brother wouldn't and you should take some time to act your age. Besides I'm barely home and you have to take care of yourself all by yourself. This is the least I could do but all I can do."

I wrap my arms around her.

"I love you!"

"I love you more, now go do your homework and relax..I'll call you down when dinner is done."

I nod.
I walk upstairs to my room and plop down on the bed. It's good to have her here because it does quite frankly get lonely. No one knows where my parents are, my brother is off to college, and my grandmother has custody over me but doesn't live here. Her work is about 3 hours away so she lives in a different city basically...
