Life Control

Hannah

I thought our lives could have just been simple. School was one thing, but an over-controlling mother was another. Especially if you are torn away from someone because your mother doesn't trust him.

'Hey Jeremy.' I said wearily. It had been half an hour since my life switched back to normal. Half an hour without him. I hated it.

'Oh hey Hannah! Glad ya' could make it!' Jeremy replied, hyperactive as always. how he acted fitted how he looked. He had red hair, an annoying lisp and a little bit of acne. But overall, he's better than Mark. 'This is for you, it's strawberry.' he said as he handed me a smoothie.

'Thanks, sorry I didn't get here sooner. Have they already began opening Flora's presents?'

'Nah, it's fine. She's been busy with her friends.' Jeremy looked toward the playhouse in the corner of the backyard.

'Right.' I said with my eyes drifting elsewhere. I made a melodious clicking sound with my tongue to fill in the silence. My eyes found a box with a rather oddly large "4" sticking out. Birthday cake.

'So,' I said to break the silence, 'four now huh?'

'Yeah, little Flory's really excited. She's finally caught up with her friends.'

I nodded with my untouched drink in my hand. I quickly took a sip and found a small toothpick-umbrella that had fallen into it.

'Welp, see you later! I'm going to practice front flips on the trampoline. Just like that, he left.

'Is he trying to impress me?'

My phone rang.
