As soon as I was inside, my thoughts of being with Luke today left. I heard yelling from the living room and ran towards it.

"You're never here! We do fine without you! Just leave us alone!" I heard Jake say.

"You aren't 18 yet, you are still mine!" my mom yelled back. My mom is never home, why is she here now?

"I'M NOT YOURS! I never have been! You can't cont-" Jake argued back before I cut him off.

"What's going on?!" My sudden appearance caused both of them to look at me as the room fell silent. "Tell me." I said sternly talking more to Jake than to my mother.

"Go upstairs." My mom commanded.

"No. I'm part of this family too. What's going on?" I retaliated.

"Mom is leaving." Jake said while glaring at our mom.

"And you two are coming with me." Mom added.

"Where?! Why?! When?!" I began to feel my face getting red with anger. My blood was boiling and I could feel a flame inside.

"We're moving to Louisiana for a new job I got." My mom informed me.

"I'm not going." Jake stated.

"Neither am I." I added.

"You both are coming with me whether you like it or not."

"No mom! That's not fair! You can't just take us away! The school year just started. Jake and I can stay here by ourselves, we're always alone anyway. We don't need you, you're never home. Besides, I finally have a friend! You can't take us away from here!" I argued. I could feel tears in my eyes. Whenever I got angry, I would start crying. But this time I held back the tears.

"Don't back talk me Brigitte! We are moving to Louisiana and that's final!"

"You don't understand! You never do!" Jake stormed off.

"Jake and I are staying." I finished before leaving to my room.

I got up to my room and pulled out my phone. I immediately texted my best friend Katelin. She lives in another state but we talk all the time. (Best Brige 😎 is Brigitte and Unbiological Sister 💙 is Katelin)

Best Brige 😎: Kate! My mom wants to move us to Louisiana! I don't know what to do. I can't leave!

Unbiological Sister 💙: I'm sorry girl! I thought you hated it there. Did you tell her you don't want to move?

Best Brige 😎: Yes, Jake and I just had an argument with her but she wouldn't listen. And I do hate this place, but I finally have a friend here. He's super cool and I don't want to lose him.

Unbiological Sister 💙: Maybe you were all just really angry. When things calm down try telling her again. And dude you didn't tell me!! HE?!

I began to text back when I heard my door open. My mom barged in and ripped my phone out of my hands.

"You are grounded from this." She said holding up my phone. I could smell alcohol in her breathe.

"I need it so Jake can tell me where he is to pick me up at school." I explained. She ignored me and stared at my phone. I think she was reading my texts.

"I'm driving you two to school now." She walked to my door. "Don't expect to be seeing that boy again either." She snapped before leaving and shutting my door.

I couldn't believe the words that came out of her mouth. All she ever wanted was for me to have friends and be social. But when I finally get a friend she tells me I can't see them. Why do I have such bad luck?
