beau bailed us out the next morning after we spent the night in jail. luke could not stop apologizing for the night, but i felt so bad because it was my fault. a few weeks past before luke told me he had his farewell coming up. the next two weeks were very stressful for luke and jai because they had their hsc. “hey babe while you have your hsc, i might go spend some time with my family and tell them how I'm going?”
“but i will miss you so much”
“i will be like a reward. i will be something to strive for” he was hesitant but agreed. so i was going to stayed with my nan and pop for a week. when i walked in the door i died. both of my parents were sitting in the lounge room. i stood there in complete shock. i could not move, i could not speak, i could not think. i dropped my bag and ran out the back. in their backyard there was a cubby house in the tree. i climbed up into the cubby house and cried. i got a shock when my nan climbed up. “hey sweetie. are you ok?”
“no I'm not. my parents who i haven't talked to in a month or tried to contact my is in your lounge room on the night i come over. I'm sorry but i have to leave. i don't want to talk to them. they abandoned me. I'm sorry, i love you but i cant.” my nan nodded and walked out. i went back in, grabbed my bag and left. i decided to stay with my aunty and uncle who had matthew, charlie and nicholas. they were my only family who did have children doing hsc. i stayed at their place for two days and took care of nicholas while they went to work. my nan drove over to talk to me. “sweetie your mum wants to talk to you.”
“and my dad doesn't?”
‘he does but he is just back at melbourne”
“oh ok so what are we meant to do? sit and chat about how great my life is with out them?”
“no. just go to dinner and let her explain.”
“oh fine” i wasn't happy with the idea but i agreed because she still was my mother and i needed an explanation.
