FM September Topic - Crisis
"That's so not fair, Mom!" I screamed into the phone to no avail. She was being so ridiculous, and what was worse, my dad was being just as bad. They finally got on the same page about something, and it was this. And by this, I mean they were totally destroyin' my life.
"But why can't I stay in Los Angeles?" I demanded. "You and Daddy didn't even remember my birthday this year! No one did! So wouldn't you just be better off without me?" I suggested. "Not havin' to try and keep track of me when obviously that has become impossible for you." I was almost in tears, and she was screaming at me and I was getting nowhere.
"But Lexi's dad said it's fine if I stay with them! He's more of an adult than Kaci if that's your problem!" Though I think her problem was more that was being a mega bitch than anything else. God, I hated them. I hated them so much. I'd even tried to be cool about all of the screwed up things that they'd both done ever since they started fighting and got divorced and stuff. And if I thought for one second that either of them was sayin' no because they actually wanted me there because they wanted to spend time with me and not just to use me as the pawn in their stupid little game, I might understand a little more. But they didn't, and neither did I.
"I'm not coming home, so just... do whatever you want. 'Cause I'm not comin' back." Angrily, I pulled my Sidekick away from my ear, ending the phone call. Part of me wanted to throw it, needed to hear the sound of it breaking against one of the walls. But now that they were cutting me off as long as I stayed in L.A., I couldn't really afford to do that. God!
There was only one person I wanted to talk to right now. And I wasn't even sure I wanted to do any talkin'. Maybe some screaming, maybe even some crying, though I hoped not because I didn't want to do that in front of him. But mostly, I was hopin' he'd do a little something else to take my mind off it.
Once I was at Jude's house, I wasted no time. The minute he answered the door, I started spilling all over him.
"Oh my God, Jude!" I exclaimed, backing him into his house before he could even speak. He opened his mouth, but didn't even get a word out. "I'm havin' a total crisis here! Lexi threw me off a bannister and then she took me to a bar and offered me up to a bunch of vampires because I'm supposed to slay them and so I called my parents and asked them if I could stay here in L.A. and they said no but I told them I was gonna do it anyway and then my mom said that they both agreed that they're cutting me off until I come home which means no credit cards, no bank account, nothing." I gave a small, exasperated sigh before collapsing into his arms, my face against his chest.
