Nathans POV
Ugh. My alarm came to early this morning. What I would do to just get a couple more hours of sleep! I could already hear my parents fighting about something stupid, and I really didn't want to be in the middle of it all. Well maybe if I hurry I could sneak out the house.
My parents have been in this stage where they fight about anything and everything. Ever since my mom started working for Karen at her cafe, my dad would not let it down that he thinks she is turning her back on him. Because in this family its always about him, and he never lets us forget that. See my dad was once in love with Karen when they were in high school. But when Karen got pregnant the story is he split. Then he met my mom and got her pregnant too. Which then he wanted to stay and make the all American dream. But I think the dream went to crap when his other son, Lucas, joined the basketball team with me. And the dream even went crappier when my mom made friends with Karen.
So being at home has been hell. I try to keep my dad happy with talking about the team and how good I'm doing. But then he starts talking about himself and how much better he was when he was my age. Then I really just want to get the hell out of there.
My phone starts to ring and I'm preying its not the girl I was with last night. That's all I need right now is my booty call to be non stop calling me. But its not. Its just my girlfriend Rachel.
"Hello?" I say, trying to sound more cheerful than I was.
"Hey baby, its me!" at least she sounded happy.
" I know." I said getting annoyed.
"So you never called me last night."
Crap. Now she is going to bitch and never stop.
"I know, sorry. I was really busy last night." well I was 'busy'.
"So busy that you couldn't call me just to say goodnight?"
"Look we can talk about this when we see each other at school, OK? I really have to hurry." I was trying to put my shirt and pants on at the same time. I really needed to hurry, I could hear my parents really getting into it.
"So you still don't have time for me, huh? What the hell is up with you? First you ditch me the other night for that whore, then-"
"OK first of all Peyton is not a whore, she is my friend. And I didn't ditch you I heard you found a ride already with some guy!" I was started to get frustrated and my patients was running very low.
"Well whatever! You don't even spend time with me anymore you are always doing something or someone!! I'm supposed to be the most important thing in your life Nathan! And you acted like you don't care about me!" she yelled. I wanted to yell back 'I don't!!' but I know she would never let that one down.
"I have a lot of shit going on right now and your not the only thing that's on my mind."
I was really trying to hurry up now. I remembered I wasn't the only one fighting with someone in this house.
"Oh really? Like what Nathan? Your daddy being mean to you again? You know my life is not so good right now either Nathan. But you wouldn't know because you never call! You just care-"
I couldn't take it anymore. I just hung up the phone and finished getting dressed. I didn't hear my parents anymore, so my dad must have got really mad and just left for work. Thank god because I can't deal with him right now.
Going down stairs I realized that my mom was not here either. What great parents I have that don't even tell their child goodbye. Now I have to go to school and deal with all the crap there. Now even more crap because I hung up on Rachel.
God I really wish I could get those extra hours of sleep.
