Across The Hall

Cry

I had to go to lunch with both of my parents. Which is weird because my parents don't sit down together unless they are dying.

"I'm taking the car."

"You realize the you have your own car." Kadence was watching Clueless on the couch while cuddling up with Matt.

"Oh yeah can you pick it up from the coffee shop. Please and thank you." I put my keys on the coffee table and ran out the front door with her keys.

"Hi sweetie." My mom greeted me as I walked in, father wasn't there yet. He is always late.

"I'm here Sorry I'm late."

"When are you not late."

"Oh because you are so perfect?" The started arguing again. Not like it was a big surprise.

"Can we not do this here. People are staring to stare." The both looked down the there hands then back up at me, as if they are sorry but they didn't say anything about being sorry. So probably not.

"We are worried about you." My stomach dropped.

"Why?"

"You depression may just take you life and we can't take the kind of pain."

"I'm getting better, I promise!"

"We know. Because of Cameron." They are right. My life as been so much brighter with him around. I haven't cut since the first time I met him almost 7 months ago. Aren't they proud?

"So what are you going to do after high school?" Father pushed out.

"I haven't thought about."

"See that is what we are worried about sweetheart." My mom cupped my hand. Which I quickly moved away.

"Kadence has been excepted to Illinois State and California University." They really think Kadence is going to go to collage with a baby. "And Gannon already know he wants to be a doctor. He is taking A.P. classes already as a freshman." I hate being compared to my sibling. And also hate getting looked down on. I...I

"Yeah? you think they are so perfect what if I told you Kadence is pregnant and Gannon is gay." I snapped. I quickly took it back.

"Oh my god." I covered my mouth. I couldn't feel my legs or my arms. I was the trustful one. My siblings trusted me.

"I'm sorry." All three of us all just went quite.

"Oh god." My parents still haven't said anything. I mean what should they say... I just told them huge secrets that weren't for me to tell.

"Luckily. We don't believe you."
They don't believe me..?

"Well good. Because I was lying." I lied about lying? Clearly his is gay and clearly she is pregnant. I had to cover it up some how.

This is not going to blow over easy with Kadence.

"We want you to move out as soon as you can."

"Woe What?"

"We want you to go live with Grandma for a while."

"Teresa.." Father said and they both turned. Obviously I could hear them whispering. "What are you doing. We did not a greet on that."

"That is what I want." She whispered back. And pointed to me. He didn't say anything just looked at me very disappointed. I glared back.

"You're not going to say anything! Just fucking shrug your shoulder!" My stomach was bubbling up.
