3:55 my watch said lifting my sleeve up to see it I groaned stepping outside it was still raining, it had been raining here for days now it had let up since this morning, I ran down the rest of the street to my house as fast as I could backpack knocking every step of the way I opened up the front gate and ran up the drive, sprinting toward the door I ripped open the door and threw my backpack on the floor running toward the family room I looked at my watch again before opening the door 4:00 on the dot I breathed in and out and opened the door to see the faces of my beautiful parents. My father ushered me in with his eyes and I sat across from my mother.
"Hello, mother nice to see you again" I said
"you too" he replied looking at my father
"Graycynn-may your mother and I have something we need to discuss" he said quietly but firmly
"alright, but may I say something before you start?" I asked looking for approval my mother nodded and I began to speak
"I was in History today and Mr. Moores said I should switch to grade 12 honors university" I said quietly
"yes?" my mother prodded
"I was wondering if I could switch with your permission of course" I said
"there's no need for that" my father said
I looked down at my shoes I knew it my parents always did things like this without explanation but to my shock my father continued
"you will be going to England" he said
"Pardon?" I said spitting out the word
"you will be going to England" my father said louder
"will mother be accompanying me or will you?" I asked
"neither" he said holding my mother's hand
I sat there I has no idea what to say or do so I just sat and listened
"you will be going to live with another family" my father said
"what!" I said raising my voice which I knew was unacceptable
"watch you're tone" my mother said harshly
"what are you two talking about, are you out of your minds" I said my voice raising again my mother just looked at me disapprovingly
"you will be moving in with your husband" my father continued
I was shocked my life had just been ripped to shreds everything that I had learn when I was little came to my head
please and thank you, marrying when you loved someone, don't eat dirt
I didn't even know how to respond or what to say
tears came to my eyes I stood up off the couch and threw a pillow at my mother
"you come along long enough to come here and say I'm leaving and not going to live with DAD anymore " I said stressing the word dad
"GRAYCYNN-MAY that will be enough" my father said he was yelling at this point my mother to the point of tears
"NO, I've had enough, You treat me like a child not letting me have friends right when my life has picked up and started again you decide its time to move, I'm going to a boarding school, leaving to Frickin Mexico!" I said I was now screaming my mouth kept moving I had no control over it now words just kept spilling from it. I started to clam down long enough to say the rest of what I needed to say
"you two play games with me, I'm not even a person anymore I'm a toy, controlling your prefect little doll must be fun mother, if you stay here long enough to see what it does to me, then you leave, it must be awfully cold in your office father you should really get a heater or just move your bed in there cause the only time I get to see you is when you go to the bathroom and to your bedroom, yes tearing apart your daughter must be fun, ripping her from everything that she knows and loves must be entertaining, I hope you two have a nice life, I've followed everything you've asked for over the years with a smile and a nod, this is too much" my voice was hoarse at the end of what I had to say my throat bunching and tears shaking from my eyes, I've never been that upset in my life. Then they decided to continue just when I thought it hit the worst it could I was in the middle of my living room crying and they decide to lie, to my face…To my Face! I was outraged I ran up to my room not wanting to listen to them blow smoke I slammed my door as hard as I could the doorframe cracked and I didn't care, I ripped clothing from my dresser and threw them in a suitcase and everything else that could fit into another I started to pace
"yes, graycynn our perfect daughter was else could we see how far she can stretch let's see how she can handle a move, good, how about another, fine, another, alright maybe one more, mmmhmmm she's old enough lets see how we can shred her life to bits, o yes, yes 17 she can get married to someone she doesn't know and move to a different continent , yes, yes that will do o wait one more thing completely unorthodox and complete lie to anyone who has more then 12 brain cells okay umm I'm actually a mythical creature, yes that works" I did a horrible impression of my father and everything he had done to me in the past 12 years I stormed around my room screaming and throwing things, finally my parents perfect daughter had broken I lay on the floor crying in a ball I didn't know anything else to do so I shut my eyes so it would go away and it did it melted away… at least till he woke me up
