Sometimes I think my mom forgets she has me. After my dad passed, she had to work two jobs, so I have basically been on my own since I was 13. She leaves left overs for me though. As I finish washing my dishes, her alarm goes off.
"Hey mom, are you leaving for work? I asked as she walked out of her room.
"Yeah, my boss put me on nights at the nursing home. You should go to bed early. You have school in the morning." She said, not even looking at me.
"No mom, I have work. I graduated three months ago. You went to my graduation" I said.
"Oh right. Sorry have fun at work." She said, getting a cup of coffee.
"Hey mom, I know I don't need permission but Lilly wants me to go out this weekend with her sense, I made her stay after work for two extra hours. I will probably just crash at her house for the weekend." I said.
"Thats fine. You know you should be looking for your own place now though. Your 18 get out on your own, be a damn-know-it all teen, not a 60 year old in a teen's body." She says.
"I will look tomorrow mom." I said. I knew she had wanted me out because I just reminded her too much of my dad. I just didn't expect her to actually say it out loud to me.
The rest of the week goes on just the same. On Thursday, I reminded my mom I would be staying with Lilly for the weekend. Friday came and I tried to cancel, but Lilly wouldn't have it. Friday after work, I go to Lilly's house and get ready for the party. I wear skinny jeans and a white tank top. Lilly wears a short dress that looks like a long shirt. Her butt hangs out the bottom. She likes the attention it gives her.
Lilly drives us to the party. I didn't pay much attention to where we were going till we were there and it was on a dirt road. The party is in full swing when we get there.
"Why are we on some dirt road?" I asked Lilly.
"Because that is where the party is duh." Lilly said "Now come on,, let's party. Dont be such a stick in the mud." She says. I looked around and finally went to the kitchen for a drink. Unfortunately, it's all alcoholic drinks.
"Here. Here is some leminaid. No alcohol in it." Aguy said, handing me a glass. I told him thanks and took the glass. I don't remember much after that though. I felt weird and the guy said he would help me up stairs. Then someone yelled fire, and everyone ran out.
I saw red and blue flashing lights and that was it. I woke up behind a burnt down house in the middle of nowhere.
"Yeah, Lilly go to a party, it will be fun." I thought to myself.
"Come on, let's just call it a drunk party drug deal gone wrong. Guy shoots up the party, then blows up the house. No servievers." I heard a guy say.
"You maybe right, Chief. Unforally."
After a few minutes, I was able to move. No one was around. I got up and started to walk down the road. No clue where I was till I came to a curve and realized this was my recurring dream. I laughed to myself. My dream won't come true. It cant.
