• i woke up to the beeping of my alarm clock. just like a regular person. when suddenly everything crashes down on me. i remember the horrid night. my mom leaving. everything came back like a bolt of lightning just hit me, right in the heart. i walked to my closet remembering the day we moved into the apartment........
    "Honey it's perfect" my mom exclaimed happily," Theres a walk in closet for Jamie, a nice big kitchen, and a fireplace!!"
    "It may be perfect for you, but i dunno if i like it." My dad said in his deep rumbly voice.
    "Please daddy?" i begged," I'd love to have my own room! Plus our old apartment is really cramped."
    My dad looked at my pleading eyes and puppy dog face." Okay" he said," But only if both you and your mother consent to me taking you out to dinner."
    My mother and i started dancing in our glee. We had finally gotton the apartment of our dreams!!
    I zone back into reality. Mom was gone and never coming back i dont know why i even thought about the past with her in it. All she was was an ugly scar on my heart that would never heal completely. I hear my dad bumping around in our kitchen. I took a deep breathe, mentally preparing myself for what mood my dad was going to be in today. Yesterday he'd been happy and we'd gone to the movies and ate out. The day before he had been sad and had locked himself in his room. I hated those the days the most. I could stand mad, i just ignored the screaming. After awhile i learned to pretend that i was listening when in reality i was doing homework or just making sure i don't hear his insults. If mom hadnt left us he'd still be how he was before. Always laughing and smiling, never angry.

    I walked cautiosly into the kitchen hoping he was in his noncholant mood today.
    "Hey baby!" I hear as i walk into the kitchen.
    Yes!! i thought. He was in his happy mood today!! "Hi daddy! How was your nights sleep?" I asked politely.
    "Very good! It was almost like i was sleeping on a cloud" He replied happily.
    " Thats great dad." I say to him," I had fun yesterday!" I look at my watch, crap! i have to go.
    " Dad i gotta go, im going to be late to school" I call back as i rush out the door.

    TOO BE CONTINUED.......MAYBE!!
