EMILY
“hurry up EM nobody has the time for you to lazy around”
Good morning to you too Amy’ I can see you woke up at the right side if the bed today with all the yelling……
‘Please can you stop being sarcastic it's too early for that’
Mmmm of course, can we go now i need to eat something before i pass out.
“Eye roll”
I know i should be thrilled about going home but I'm not,’ amy is it too late to just back out now and go somewhere else instead? I mean Mom and dad won't be that angry right?...
“absolutely not, you know that's not going to work after what happened last time, they were both devastated when you left without saying a word”
‘Sighing’ you're right i should really apologize to them for leaving like that, i just thought it was the best thing to do at that time, after they insisted i stay to join the family business,.... You can't blame me for freaking out.
“No one is blaming you, they are just sad you ran away like you always do instead of talking to them and trying to come to a compromise”
“Yeah”......
.. Why do i feel nervous,(maybe because you have a bad habit of running away from your problems) “with trembling hands i open the door”
Mom?
“in the kitchen, don't forget to take off your shoes by the door”
(Laughing)...
I walked in to the kitchen, there she was looking so excited,(is it just me or does she look younger)
Hi Mom,”giving her a hug” I've missed you
“Ohh honey I've missed you so much, how have you been? Why do you look so skinny? Haven't you been eating well?”mom” Did you get enough sun? Your skin looks really dry,”mom seriously can you list__ i have a list of product you can use”
“Motherr” …’ Sigh’.. Can you please calm down and let me settle down before you continue with all your questions? Please? Fine you can take your things up stairs then come down to eat something.
Thank you…
Sometimes i forget how over whelming it can be just showing up at home,.... wow Amy helped with the bags? “Hallelujah” she must be feeling really generous,
I can't believe my room still looks the same even though i moved out ages ago, (stomach grumbles) i should really get something to eat I'm starving.
‘So mom, Amy tells me you got an amazing offer that's why you wanted to celebrate?
“Ahhh yes that's right, it is a good opportunity for me and I'm really proud”
Congratulations mom I'm sure they will love you, by the way when is dad going to be home?
‘he will be home soon’
Hmmm okay….
“so how is Ben? thought you were both coming together?” I met his mother the other day at the supermarket and she was saying something about a ring,” are you both planning on getting married?.
(Okay hold up, what is she talking about?)
Mom, are you certain you heard right? Because i don't know what you are talking about,
What do you mean you don't understand?
What I'm saying is that ben and i are not getting married and i have no idea about a ring whatsoever, “what? But his mom said she saw it”
…maybe it was something else,besides we are never getting married (I yelled)
‘How can you say such a thing, i thought you love each other?’
Well mom,i thought so too but things change
‘Amy can you explain to me what your sister means by things change?
Well they broke up”glares at her” because apparently he is seeing someone else, who happens to be her friend Cassie.
Can we please not talk about this? “Honey are you okay? I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
Please just drop it, “but honey we have__”
Mom please can you just stop trying to fix everything for once. ‘Inhealing’ … I need some space right now so I'm going to my room, and don't bother knocking! “Door slams”
(Ughhh, i can't take this anymore)
Hmmm….
I should probably get some sleep maybe it will all go away by the time i wake up,....
(who am i kidding it didn't go away,) i still feel pain, and now I'm sure the rest of the family knows,
Could this day be any worse than it already is.
“Knocks on the door”
‘Hey sis i just wanted to check up on you, dad and Anthony are back so you should probably come say hi’
Sighing softly, i will be down soon just give me few minutes to get ready,
“okay”
(Let's get this over with)
I made myself presentable then came down stairs,
“Anthony” giving him a hug’ I've missed you so much, “missed you too baby sister” how have you been?
Do i look like a baby to you? “He laughs”
I've been better, how's being old treating you? I'm sure you are almost 60’ “laughing, oh please I'm too pretty to be 60,
‘Yeah sure’
Where's Dad? In his office, he asked about you
Alright’.....
I knocked on the door of his office,”come in” hello Dad, i walk over to give him a hug, how are you doing?
(Why does he look bothered)
“I'm fine sweetie, and I'm glad you are back home”
Yeah me too,’dad? Are you sure you're alright?
Ahh yes_ yes I'm alright, just exhausted from work that's all.”
Well you should take it easy, wouldn't want you getting sick, “don't worry about me seriously”
Fine, I'll go see if Mom needs any help,”smiles”
I don't think he is fine, maybe the company is not doing well?(or maybe he is just stressed out).
