Last week's alcohol
Natalie's parents where at Dr .Maden's for her mom's appointment. Whenever this happened Natalie's boyfriend Henry would come over and they would get high and drink whatever alcohol was in the fridge.
"What are we enjoying today?" Henry asked
"We have some Smirnoff "Natalie said excitedly
"Excellent" Henry exclaimed
"So did your older brother get us some more of this to put in the fridge so my parents will never know?" Natalie asked
"Yes" Henry said
Natalie grabbed the drinks and then she and Henry went up to her room and took out the pot that Henry brought.
"So how are you"? Henry asked passing her some of the joint
"Im good "she said smoking the joint
Natalie wanted so much to try to help her mother. The thing was that Natalie had no idea how to help her or even talk about what the best way was to help her. It was always assumed that her dad would be the one to help her mother with problems. The people in the area never really saw the Goodman family at all. Natalie's life was Go to school, get great grades, come home, practice piano, and do her homework. Natalie's old brother Gabe had died 16 years ago.
Henry saw Natalie as something more she thought she was. He saw her as someone who was smart, beautiful, and talented. She was perfect in his eyes and he wanted to marry Natalie.
"How do your parents never ask you about what happens to the alcohol if they even figure it out" Henry asked
"Well, my mom is in her own world and never really notice's and my dad is to preoccupied with helping my mom get better to even question what are doing" Natalie said very matter of fact
"So basically, we could keep doing this and we will never get caught?" Henry said
"Basically" Natalie added
Natalie was worried about her future. She was wondering what she be like and what she wanted to become.
"Will I be like my mother when Im older?" she asked Henry
"No because your not her your you your Natalie Goodman you can be whatever you want to be in life."
Suddenly, Natalie heard the front door of her house.
"Mom and Dad are home" she signed
"Am I leavening or what?" Henry asked
"No, I want you to stay. My parents know you might come over when they are not home."
"So about that homework we should be doing right now?"
"Yea lets get on that" Natalie said.
