I walk in to the kitchen and hear my mother talking on the phone. "So did it work out? " she asks quitely. I hear a muffled yet excited voice "… could be with family…. Pays nice….. Great schools……. Ok" I walk in to my mother and glare at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
She asks quietly. "So, " I say with a sneer "did he get the job? " "excuse me? " "don't lie you know what I'm talking about. Did. Dad. Get. The. Job? " I hiss.
"He got a nice offer for a position in Cincinnati." she pipes quitely. "And? " I growl. "It's up for consideration. " she replies. "no" I whisper as I fling my hand to my mouth. I turn sharply on my heel and walk into the other room inhaleing a sob. "Brittany come back let's talk about this. " she yells after me. "How could you do this to me!?!" I scream crouching on the floor. "Brittany listen to me. " she says sternly. "This may be our only chance to…. " "I DONT CARE! " I scream. "YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME AGAIN! " I say holding my hair in my cluched fists. "LIFE JUST GOT OK. I HAVE FRIENDS NOW! I CAN'T JUST LEAVE!" "Brittany we aren't leaving tomorrow! "She exclaims. I laugh evily. "Ha I can't believe how naive I am I thought things were getting better but I guess it was to good to be true! " My mother looks at me incrediously. "Do you honeslty think that when you get to highschool that you will have the same friends? " she asks with a sneer. "yes, yes I do. " I say with a tear streaking down my cheek. "Brianna, Morgan and Aly aren't always going to be there for you! " she says through gritted teeth. I walk out of the living room and into the kitchen leaning backwrads on the counter. "Come in here! I am not talking to a wall! " she screams. "its eaiser listening to a wall than listening to you! " I yell into the living room. "You could have a whole new start! You don't understand.. " she tries to persuade me into considering. "NO! " I scream. " YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO NOT HAVE ANY NEW FRIENDS FOR 5 YEARS. NOW THAT I HAVE MADE FRIENDS YOU'RE ASKING ME TO MOVE?! " "Honey its on the table we are going to consider it. " she reminds me. "Then I say no! NO NO NO NO NO!" I sob. "BRITTANY LISTEN TO ME! THIS FAMILY IS DROWNING THE ONLY REASON WE ARE STAYING AFLOAT IS BECAUSE YOUR FATHER AND I ARE TAKING OUT OF OUR RETIREMENT! " She screams. "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO THIS MOM! NOT AGIAN." I start to cry harder. "You might not have a choice." she sternly replies. "WELL TO FREAKING BAD! " I practilly wail. "You were a different person then! Now your strong and confident. God has a real plan for you.. Why do you think you became vice president of student council? Or president of bookclub? Huh? The lord did that to prepare you for what is to come! " she attempts to make me "see" the light. I glare angrily at the stove. "I cant just freaking leave! " I think to my self. Not after everything. "What about my friends? Huh? I cant just leave them! " I say in retalliation. I can't leave my friends not in the state they are right now! "You don't really think that if your friends parents were in this situation that they wouldn't leave?!!?" She sighs "No. " I respond quietly. I shighed. "Brittany im not talking to a wall come out here! " she yells. I stare even harder at the stove. "Fine, " she says, "Go up stairs and comprehend what I just said and come back down. " I huff and turn to walk up the stairs." I'm not moving" I yell over my shoulder. "You know what just stay in your room" she yells." I'd rather stay in there anyway" I yell back. I run up the stairs an fling my self onto my bed and cry myself to sleep.
