Being someone I'm not

Chapter 2: Wait.. What?!

I was mentally out of it the whole day so going to sleep was the best thing to do. I walked up the stairs and went to my room. I crawled in bed and started to close my eyes.

I woke up to voices in my house and I was pretty freaked out by that. I heard a distant yet familiar voice saying "I know but what other option do we have?"

I got out of bed and quietly walked down the stairs not sure of what I'd end up seeing. I was greeted with a man who I feel like I've seen before. Wait.. What?!

"Hi sweetie" the man said

"Dad?" I started to say with lack of confidence.

He started babbling "I know I'm probably the last person you want to see, but hear me out. Indiana I love you and I hate seeing you get hurt".

I retorted back with sass "Then why did you leave us?"

"It was for the best. I am here now to gain custody over you" my dad started "And I hope that this will bring us together again during the time of sadness".

***a day later***

I had to wake up even though I really don't want to. Today was the day my mother was being burried. Today was the day I'd no longer be the same girl I was yesterday.

**

The funeral was about to begin and I was greeted with familiar faces and locals who knew my mother. Most of them were saying how great of a person she was, and I totally agree. I regret all the things I said about her. She was a great mother and I took her for granted, an I feel like shit for it.

The funeral started and the pastor was saying 'We must remember who we are and forget the bad past and move on. Today we are here to celebrate her existence not mope about her passing. That's the hardest part; moving on'.

I couldn't stay strong much longer. I broke into tears and ran out if the building. I seem to be doing that often.

I got home and called my "best friend" Liv. Of course no answer.

I never felt like I was important here or like I belonged, yet I was popular. I'm definitely someone I'm not.

I just decided to go to sleep because I felt like I couldn't do anything else. Also I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

I woke up with puffy eyes and a really bad headache. I took some medicine and walked down stairs to eat some breakfast. My dad was there with a bunch of suitcases and boxes and suddenly I lost my appetite.
"Looks like you're moving in with me in New York" my dad stated.
My jaw dropped "I'm what?!"
"Pack your stuff Indiana no buts. Now".
I didn't really know how to react. I was expecting this to happen but why so soon? I always wanted to leave this place but not without my mother, and going to live with my father whom I barely know will be difficult. But I had to do it. I just had to.
Later that day I started to pack all my belongings. My favorite dresses, skirts, tops, and shoes of course. I just can't belie that I'll be living in New York.. So different and just not what I'm used to I'm guessing.

Once I finished putting everything in my suitcases I was basically ready to go. I wanted to say goodbye to my friends, but part of me didn't really care what they thought.

I decided that I was just going to leave without saying goodbye because honestly they were never really my friends. Then I realized what about my new school? What will people think of me there? Will I fit it? All of these questions quickly ran through my mind leaving me confused with myself.

I walked down stairs to my living room by my father and asked him "When will we be leaving?" His short reply said it all "Tonight." I walked away saying "Alright." Then he said "Indiana I was meaning we have to leave now." His voice was stale and had no emotion. Well I guess here goes to a new life...
