Disclaimer: Same as last time.

I know no one reviewed, I didn't give any one enough time to. lol. I just thought that if you had two chapters that you would be able to get into the story better. I will try to update every day. This chapter may make some men readers uncomfortable, but I'm sorry, I have to put it in. It shows the way the character feels and her emotions toward the situation.

Chapter 2: Kisses and Hugs

As I walked into the house I saw laying there on the table a brand new laptop computer and a new flip camera phone still in the box. I ran quickly to my room and lay in my bed and cried as the reality of the situation hit home, right in my heart.

Later on that night mom came into my room to call me to dinner. Zombie like I did as she said and came down to dinner. After eating I told her I had homework to do and went back up to my room. As I lie in my room looking at the ceiling I start to think. This won't be forever, only a little while till my family figures out what they want to do for the rest of their lives. No matter how much of this false reality I was forming in my mind I still felt that I would never see these people I grew to love ever again. I finally fell asleep at about five in the morning only giving me one hour of sleep, but it still didn't make a difference.

Three days after hearing the life changing news mom told me that I needed to start packing and bringing the things I wanted and leaving the things that didn't matter to me. Mom also said that I might want to bring some things of sentimental value with me in case I felt lonely one night. This was the last day I was going to school and by now everyone was pretty somber around me and I guess that was because I wasn't talking or really socializing. I was still in this half daze reality. I was still waiting for mom to tell me that everything had changed and that they worked out their differences and were going to stay together, but that day would never come it seemed. It was my last day and mom wanted to tell me a few more things about the circumstances involved in this move.

"O.K. dear, uhm. How can I tell you this? Well we finally got the one thing you have been dieing to get since you were sixteen. We are giving you a car. You are going to need it to go all over the place over there and we don't want you to have to spend all your money on transportation."

"Mom you guys can't afford to get me a new car."

"Yes we can and we have. We want you to know that we care about you and we aren't just trying to get rid of you. We want you to be ready for what ever comes in the future."

"If you wanted me to be prepared for the future then you would let me stay here and face the reality of a divorce, but you aren't. I don't see the point in all this. Buying things won't make this any better. I still won't like it and I can't stand that you are making me go through with this. I don't want to go to boarding school and you said you would never make me go to one."

"Stop throwing those words back at me. You think I like the fact that I am sending you away, especially to a boarding school."

"Then why are you making me? Huh."

"Because it is the best thing for you right now. I cannot have you exposed to such drama and corruption as a divorce. You don't know how dramatizing and brutal a divorce is."

"And you do?"

"I know how it can be."

"And do you realize what you are doing to me? You don't care though you say you do. You don't realize how dramatizing this move is for me. How do you know that this isn't just as dramatizing and brutal as witnessing a divorce? I am seventeen years old. I am pretty sure I can handle a divorce."

"There is more to it then that."

"Oh, really is dad having an affair? Are you having an affair? I have heard all about this before. It doesn't faze me in the slightest."

"That is it I have had it! I don't want—

"What is going on in here? All I here is screaming. Lara you really shouldn't be yelling so."

"Yes thank you Jim I know."

At this time I storm back up to my room and slam the door.

Why did have to interrupt like that. He is so stupid some times. What did dad mean that she shouldn't be yelling like that? Maybe he meant that she shouldn't be yelling at me. I don't know anymore. I hate getting into arguments with mom. I really do love her and I know in my heart that she is only thinking of the best thing for me at this time, but I just can't convince her that I can handle it. It's like I have to tell her time and time again; I am older, more mature, and able to handle adult situations. It's the next morning and surprisingly I slept pretty well. Today is the day I leave. Today everyone is going to see me off at the airport. Cam, Janie, Tanya, and Michael will be there to tell me bye. I have decided to tell mom that I was sorry about last night. As I climb down the stairs one last time I see everyone there waiting and half of them are crying. I get down there and pull mom aside. I tell her that I know that this is the best way she sees fit for me.

" I am very glad that you finally understand. Your new car will be waiting for you at the airport in Montana. I also wanted to tell you last night that I had also found a job for you. You will be working in the animal division over at the humane society. They have been short on staff and there will be someone at school to show you how to get there and give you your job description."

"Mom, you are setting this up as if I'm never coming back. Why did you get me a job?"

"Well with all the money we have been spending we won't be able to give you a lot of money, only enough for the necessities. If you want extra you will have to work for it on your own."

"Oh ok I see. Thanks mom. I know this isn't easy for you either and I have been acting selfish."

"Well I guess we better go."

"Yeah I guess so."

We finally arrive at the airport I talk and reminisce about the past and how much I'll miss them. The plane is about to board and Michael pulls me aside.

"I know this is going to be a hard relationship to keep up, but I know we can do it if we try."

"Uhm, well Karen I'm not to sure about that. I think we should just call it quits."

At this point? Him just coming out and saying it like this? I am in shock.

"Actually I was thinking about going out with Tina Avery."

Once he says that I can't hold my rage anymore. I take my hand and rake it across his face so hard that he falls to the ground. He could have told me earlier and he definitely didn't need to tell me that he wanted to go out with Tina Avery, the Bitch.

"She is such a whore and slut. She has been with every guy known to earth."

"Except me"

" You asshole"

Then I give him a nice kick in the groin for good measures. Nobody has seen what has occurred and I figure that he will tell them some type of lie, if he hasn't gotten up by the time they come looking for him, but I really don't care.

"O.K. I guess this is goodbye everyone."

I know this chapter was still short, but not as short as the last chapter. I thought that kicking a guy in the groin would be a good place to end for today. I know the guys won't like that too much, but that does happen some times. lol.
