In my eyes on Valentine's day...
Another year with no boyfriend, no cuddling and utterly feeling left out. I had a volleyball clinic so I didn't get home until seven. I walk in to see my mom standing at the door looking grim. I wonder what's wrong and I, sadly get my answer. It all started with, "Honey, don't freak out but I have something to tell you..." She paused long enough for me to start a train of thoughts, "Did Dad die?" "Is Grandpa okay?" "What about my boys(dogs), is one of them hurt?" I looked at her and she said, almost like it was someone else speaking, "Your dad lost his job." It took a second to comprehend, and then it hit, right in the gut. After having to put up with school and Valentine's day for six hours, and another five playing volleyball, this just killed me. I crumpled to the floor and started to cry. What made it worse was that my mom got mad at me for it. She started yelling things like, "I shouldn't have told you!" or "Get off the floor, it isn't that big of a deal!" Yes it was, I thought. My world was shaken, everything upside down...
A week later comes THE NEWS...
I have finally found a school I like, actually MADE FRIENDS and then that night at the table my parents say something I hoped they never would. They had talked about it for years, but I didn't think it would happen. I was happy out here, and so was my dad(a bit). Nevada was home to me, seeing as I moved here when I was six. And Sean hardly remembered Indiana. If you've already guessed, yep they said we were moving! And not just anywhere... OHIO. I have hated that place since I was little. I had to go back there every year to see relatives, and Nevada was my refuge, at least a few hundreds miles between me and them. I finally set down roots and now they are pulling them up! What makes me even more mad is that my parents know I'm happy, they know how miserable I use to be and they're STILL moving me.
The dreaded day the sign went up...
I wanted to strangle the Realtor, he was the one helping my parents do this to me. But my parents promised to grounded for life if I did anything, and I mean ANYTHINGto him. He came in all smiling and shook my hand, took me around the shoulders and talked to me like we were old friends. Man did I want to stab that guy. He walked around the house with me, and all of a sudden said, "If you and your brother help your parents out I'll buy you a Best Buy gift card." I FUMED, now he was taking me away from my HOME and bribing me to help him do it. Of course what could I say but thank you? So I shut up and watched him hammer the sign into the ground with the help of my dad. He waved and winked and drove off.
Now I'm moving to the number one state I hate, I'm leaving my new friends and my home. I've cried every night, and my heart is totally wrenched out of my body. Literally I feel an aching hollow in my chest everyday. I'm still traumatized and won't get over it very soon. Well at least now you know why I wasn't here...

, since they only gave him a bonus and two months salary instead of the six he was suppose to recieve. *Growls at the Harley people*
