Make me//Daniel Seavey

"We try to fix it, it never works."

I lay in my bed listening to my parents fight. Like always. Its a non stop thing. I barely get any sleep at night anymore. I cant focus in school. Im losing my friends. My brother left me and moved to la two years ago. He hardly visits. He calls. But thats not enough. Im here alone with two crazy people. "SHUT THE HELL UP!" I hear my dad scream. "Please stop. This is ruining Carlas life." I sigh. I need my brother. "I don't care about her! I never have!" He yells. Tears weld in my eyes and i try my hardest to fight them. "WERE GETTING A DIVORCE! ITS FINAL!" My mom screams. I call my brother. "Jonah i need out. Please." I say crying. "Carla what happened?" He asks. "Mom and dad are splitting. Dad says he doesn't care about me. Im losing friends and failing school. I need you bubba." I wipe my face. "Get up and pack your bags. Ill be there in the morning." He says. "Thank you bubba. I love you." A weight lifted off of my chest. "I love you too sis." He hung up the phone. I grab my suitcases and pack my things. "Carla?" I hear my mom ask. I pull her in and shut my door. "Mom you need to kick him out. Jonah is picking me up tomorrow morning. Im sorry mom." I say crying again. "Ok baby. Ill be out soon." She says hugging me. "Please call. I love you Carla." She hugs tighter. "I love you to mommy." She leaves my room. I pack all of my clothes, even the ones i don't want or wear. I fill up my other suitcase with all of the things in my room. All thats left is empty dressers and my bed. I lay down in bed and fall asleep. I wake up around 6:30 to my stomach hurting and I realize i haven't eaten in three days. 'Im on my way. Be there at 7.' Jonah texts me. I double check my entire room to make sure I have everything. I hear a small knock on the door and i grab my bags. Jonah steps inside grabbing two of my bags bringing them to the car. We run to the car and put my things in before leaving. "Carla im so sorry i left you there." I nod. "I know." The further away from that house i get the better i feel. "I feel like shit. This is my fault." I look at him and smile. "There's nothing you could have done jonah. Your fine. Im out now, thats all that matters." He smiles and continues driving.
