Because of You

I was nervous and sweating as I opened the letter that my aunt gave me, it was from the university I applied for. My heart immediately sunk when I read the magic words "You've been accepted to San Guillermo University" I jumped and shouted at the top of my lungs. "someone is trying to sleep here" my aunt shouted from her room. It's past 9 in the evening I just got home from my part time job at the convenience store near down town. Ever since my mom died I've been living with at my aunt's house, they're not very warm and welcoming but I have no choice they're the only family left to me. I've been planning to move out, I'm just saving enough money. I get my phone and typed a message for my best friend Elise. "I got in" Seconds after my phone vibrate and I smiled happily when I read her reply. "me too" I washed up and checked if there's some food left. I sighed at disappointment when the only thing that's left are the unwashed dishes. I don't want to ruin this moment so I just Shrugged it off besides I'm used to it. After cleaning the table and washed the dishes I went upstairs. I was not surprise to see Mellie awake, my cousin. She was too focused on her phone and I doubt if she even noticed my presence or she simply doesn't care like the always. Our room has 2 bed of course there is no way my cousin will let me share a bed with her. We are of the same age but we're not close she despise me, she hates that she has to share everything with me, I can't blame her because I hate it too. The only human to me in this house is uncle Joe, my aunt's husband who happened to be here just once a month unfortunately.
