Running Away
Chapter 1: Wednesday
"Marissa!" my mother screamed. I rolled my eyes and paused the movie I was watching and opened my door.
"What?!?" I screamed back.
"Are you coming out to dinner with us?"
"No, I'm not hungry." I called down.
"Aneorexic," she mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing dear," she said with a fake smile, "We'll be back later."
I went back into my room and shut the door behind me. I hated my mom. It hurt me to be that kind of a daughter but I'd had enough. My mom was two horns shy of being satan, and her new husband Caleb isn't any better. To make things even worse Ryan's gone. He left to be with his possible baby mama. I know he loves me and I love him and that if it's meant to be it will be. But it gets harder and harder everyday without him. I knew where he was and ever day i debated whether or not I should go. Theresa wouldn't be mad at me or anything. Their not together and I've stayed at her house before. So I picked up the phone and dialed Theresa's number. Part of me hoped she wouldn't answer.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Is Theresa there?"
"This is.....Marissa?"
"Yeah, hi," I said as tears started to run down my cheeks and the sniffles started.
"What's wrong?"
"Everything!," I cried, "My mom's treating me like shit. I can't go to my dad's cuz he's on vacation for the summer with Hailey. Summer left to join Seth whereever he is. I feel liek I have no one and I miss Ryan so much. I can't do this alone. I probably sound like a brat saying that to you cuz you're so much braver than me on what you're taking on."
"No, its ok. I understand. And I'm so sorry.But you know that Ryan does love you and that he's just here to help me out."
"I know, but I feel so lost right now. All I do is sit in my room and stare at the TV."
"Oh god Marissa. I'm sorry. How about this, Eddie's coming home from anger management on Friday. He wants to take my mom and me to meet his family two cities over. He wants to prove that he's doing better. He knows Ryan's staying with us but he's obviously not too thrilled about it. Ryan's going to be home all weekend alone. Why don't you surprise him and come up and visit this weekend?" Theresa offered.
"Are you sure? I mean I don't wanna intrude or anything."
"Of course you won't!," Theresa laughed, "We'll set something up for you guys."
"Umm, ok! I'll do it."
"Great! This is going to be so good for him. He's been real out of it ever since he got here. Can you be here by 3 on Friday?"
"Yeah, I should be able to."
"Ok hun, I'll see you then."
"Ok,bye."
