Being Josh Ramsay's Daughter

Left Alone

After school, I texted Dad and he told me he couldn't pick me up. So, I decided to walk.

"Acadia!" I heard someone yell behind me.

I whipped my head around and saw no one. I was starting to get creeped out. I began to run, so I could get home faster.

"Acadia. Wait. Don't run. Slow down."

I kept running. But suddenly, I got taken down by a garbage can being thrown at my feet from behind. I painfully fell on my back. I hurt my tailbone.

"What do you want?" I said, waiting for someone to walk up to me.

"Mom?" I said, angrily as she came to stand beside me and look down at me.

"Acadia. I want you to live with me." She said, helping me stand up.

"I already said no." I said, as I began to walk again.

"Acadia please." She pleaded, walking beside me.

"No. I live with dad."

"But I want you with me."

"No. You can't change how I feel."

"I'll give you everything you want." She sounded really hurt that I didn't want to live with her.

"You know what I want?"

"What?"

"I want to be left alone. Just go away." I said, as we reached my house.

"Fine." She said, walking away, looking depressed.
