"Mom, do we really have to go and live with this boyfriend of yours, what is his name, oh yeah Martin Barringer?"
"Lauren, how many times do we have to go over this we are moving in with him wither you like it or not!" Mom demanded from the front seat.
"But according to your pass relationships you cant keep a relationship long enough. Just like my dad, you got sick of him and moved on. You told me he had a problem with drugs and shit but I think it was just you, you being selfish and always trying to come out on top of the situation looking like the victim. Isn't that right Mommy dearest??"
"Lauren, we are here! Don't mess this relationship up for me and for god sake lose the attitude and be good for once. Martin's son wont be here yet, but he is coming in tomorrow and I expect you to be on your best behavior and make a good impression." Mom yelled.
"Wouldn't want to make you look back now would we mother?" I laughed.
With that Comment the Rest of the Ride Was in Silence….
( At the Barringer's house. Martin comes out and greets Lauren and Nicole.)
As we pulled up to the house, it didn't look so bad. Martin came out and greeted us and started to help us bring our bags into the house. As nice as all of this seemed to be, I knew it was not permanent, with my mother nothing good would last, it just wasn't possible.
"So you must be Lauren. Your Mom has told me a little bit about you. She says you are a freshmen." Martin said trying to make conversation.
I held my stomach. I wanted to cry and I did not know why. For while know I have been wishing I was going to move in with my real Dad, instead, but the odds of that were against me. I never even seen the man before in my life, he ditched my mother and I before I was even born, what a jerk. Then realizing I never even answered him, I finally said a simple "yeah."
"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?? Martin questioned, seeing me hold my stomach.
"No thanks. So my mom said that you had a son."
"Yes, his is Scott. He will be here tomorrow to meet you. He has already met your mother." Martin said. "Would you like to get settled in your room, I will show you where it is? Feel free to decorate the room anyway you chose."
Martin then showed me where my room was and brought my begs to my room for me. The room was a light pink sponge painted on the walls with red curtains. There was also a bed, dresser, and everything else that I would need, so I decided to unpack.
"We will be downstairs, if you need anything ok Lauren." Martin said as he left the room.
It really didn't seem to bad here, and I finally felt hopeful for that the first time in my life I might actually be able to stay in one place.
