When I get home, mor’s car is in the driveway. I open the front door and walk in to see mor sitting on the couch with a serious look on her face. I clear my throat and her expression soon changes to one of sympathy.
“You wanted to talk?” My hands are shaking and mum seems to notice.
“Hannah, go get changed and then we will talk.” She says calmly, looking down at her hands.
I walk into my room and rip my uniform off. I find my favourite batman shirt and a pair of shorts and put them on.
I walk to the lounge and take a seat next to my mum. She looks up at me and forces a smile.
“How was your day?” ok.. that was a good start..
“It was shit but I got to catch up with the girls. I missed them so much.” She sighs.
“Are you ok, mor?” She looks up at me with a half-smile but it is not a happy one. What isn’t she telling me?
“I got a job offer in Perth. And I took it.” She doesn’t even look at me.
“What? Tell me you’re joking!” My voice starts to raise, tears prickling my eyes.
“Don’t raise your voice at me young lady!” She raises her voice.
“What about my school? MY FRIENDS!” I shoot up to my feet, crying.
“I DID THIS FOR US! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR A SINGLE MOTHER TO RAISE HER DAUGHTERS AND SEND THEM TO PRIVATE SCHOOL?” She stands up.
“ MY NEW JOB PAYS TWICE AS MUCH AND WE NEED THE MONEY! I HAVE BILLS TO PAY! WE ARE MOVING AND THAT IS FINAL!” I step back. Mor hasn’t ever shouted at me except for the one time I decided to paint the walls pink.
“I’m sorry mor. I didn’t think of it from your point of view.” Her face goes softer.
“When are we going?” She looks at me sympathetically.
“We leave on Friday afternoon” She lifts her chin and crosses her arms confidently.
“WHAT!” This is too much. I run out of the room crying.
“You can go to school tomorrow but we’re spending the rest of the week packing.” I hear her say from the lounge. I don’t know what I’m going to do! This is not happening! It can’t be! This is too much to handle..
I lie down on my bed and drift off to sleep. I don’t care that its 4pm or that I haven’t eaten. I need to clear my thoughts and only sleep will allow it.
