I wake up the next day to silence. Why hasn't my mom yelled for me to get up yet? I look at the time and my eyes widen. Its 12 in the afternoon! I've missed most of school what am I going to do now? I get up and go to my parents room. They're not in there, maybe they're downstairs? I go to the kitchen and look around. "Mom? Dad?" I call out. Where could they be? I grab the house phone and call my dad's cell. On the second ring he picked up. "Hello?" Thank god he answered. "Hey dad. Why didnt mom or you wake me up?" There was a pause before he answered. "Your mom left. I dont know when she's coming back. I'm sorry." I close my eyes and take a deep breath. "It's okay. I um I'm gonna just stay home since I already missed so much school." "Okay. I gotta get back to work. We'll talk more when I get home okay." He doesn't give me a chance to reply and hangs up.
I go back to my room and lay on my bed, looking at the ceiling. My phone goes off and I look at it. Its Johnathan. I dont answer him, instead turning over and going back to sleep. When I wake up its 6 pm and my dad is downstairs with someone. I listen carefully and shake my head. Not even 10 hours since mom left and he's with another woman. I check my phone. 3 missed calls and 5 text messages. I check the one from my mom first. 'I know this is sudden but I hope you can forgive me. Your dad and I have had problems for years now. No matter what happens I want you to know that I love you.' I text her a simple 'I love you too' before looking at the ones Johnathan sent. He seemed pretty worried. I sent him a message saying I was fine. I go downstairs and grab an apple, washing it and then returning to my room.
I turn my tv on, turning to channel 50 to watch the new Steven Universe episode. I had nothing else to do since I didn't go to school. I browse the internet on my laptop as well. I watched some Dan and Phil to help pass the time. When 10 finally rolls around i turn my computer and tv off. I stand up and stretch, making my way to the bathroom to get ready for bed. As I brush my teeth I reflex on what happened today, in those few hours I was awake. I hope my mom doesn't stay away too long. After I go back to my room I decide to pick up. I start with my laundry, putting it all in one pile to take down tomorrow. Then I put away my clean clothes and clear off my desk. Having nothing else to do I get in bed and go to sleep.
