Running On Empty

Clarke wanted to throw the chair at them, she wanted to scream and run and curse. "Alright. Sounds like a great experience" Clarke lied coating the words with false happines like carmel coats an apple. Her parents faces lit up "Oh Clarke we were worried you would be mad at us!" they said smiling at eachother. Clarke smiled warmly "Of course im not mad." "You'll see Clarke this move will be good for us" her father beamed as he put his arm around mom. Mom smiled at both of us "Better get packing then darling" "Ok" Clarke stated simply and walked up the stairs seething. When she entered her room she collapsed onto her bed and screamed into the pillow. They were moving to Australia how could this be happening.
