I had always looked for something in my life,but it just didnt seemed to be me,my friends told me i was crazy,how would they know?They dont live with a mum whos never there or a dad who drank alot.My best friend Mai told me once to always follow my heart,i try to follow it but half way there i would stop and look back that was what kept me back,i spent to much time in the past.
Well now that was going to change,Mai told me that she was looking for a roomate,she was staying in New York while she was doing her decree in acting,i said i would go i could finish high school there and then go to a dance academy.I wanted to leave the house so badly,home was turning into prison and i badly wanted to leave,Mum was working too much at work and dad just didnt want to know me or Mum and forgetting mum and i was easy,he just drank and drank,even school was a mess i was failing in nearly all my subjects.
And all that was going to change,it began when Mum suprisingly came home early and dad didnt smell of drink,i knew it was bad and it started with Mum,"Darling Serena.We need to have a small chat with you about your grades,you got a C- on a pop quiz and thats not the half of it,listen..."I cut her off instanly"No you listen!You want a small chat with me about my grades?You think that life here isnt going on a smooth course?Damn right its not!Not for the past 5 years has it been going great!Ever since you got that promotion and dad got fired life has gone great to crap!And im tired of it!I dont want to come home and it becomes Prison!"I roared at Mum,i was so close to tears that i shook my head violently,I lifted my head and looked at my mum she was pale,she was close to tears,but watching her looking like that made me feel good,i looked at Dad,he was shocked at my outburst,then came such a painful silence that i nearly left the room,i turned for the door when Mums voice echoed in the room"If...If thats how you really real about this then what do you sujest we do about it?" Her voice was so calm when she had spoke,
"A friend of mine has offered me a place as her roomate and i said that i would be."I replied my voice was getting stronger and stronger,i guess after my outburst my voice gained some courage,i looked at Mum "And who is this person?" This time it was Dad who spoke,i was ready i told myself and i replied"Her name is Mai,She lives in New York." And the awful silence began,i could tell that Mum was looking at Dad thinking on what to do and stuff.It was what seemed hours than a minute when they came to a desicion."If thats what you want then we won't stop you."They both said.A small smile caught my lips,i was following my heart and this time i won't look back."Thank you for understanding!"i said kissing them both lightly on the cheek before rushing to get my stuff together and to tell Mai,this time i wouldn't look back,i would move forward.
