i am not always on to post my journal entries. whoever wanted 2 hear my story i am posting it on here...i started a new one like i always do! here is the first part:
A tear slid down my cheek. I let my phone crash onto the pavement from my hand. I couldn't handle it, he died, my father died. I always thought of him as the strong one in my family other than me. How am I going to take his place when he is gone and i know that i can't help him? Getting my senses back, i bent down to pick up the remains of my phone. i opened the house door and slowly went in. My older brother sat at the table typing on his laptop, either hacking into something or talking to his girlfriend. He looked up as i slammed the door shut. "Mel, whats wrong?" I slumped into the chair next to him. "The hospital called, they said that father died." I buried my face in my hands. He rubbed my back to try and soothe me. It didn't work this time. "Sis, you know that would happen. He got a rare disease that no one has found the cure to. He wasn't going to survive how strong he was." "That's what you say. He could have fought it." "You can't fight death and that disease caused death. He did fight it, and you know that, but the disease took over and he got weaker." Whatever he was trying to do, this wasn't calming me down. All it was doing was making my sadness turn into anger. "You're not making this any easier for me. I know that your father is still around and so you wouldn't know." I shot out of my seat and ran to my room. "Mel, come out! You're right, i don't understand what it is like because i have my father still and i am sorry for that." He followed me. "Thats the point! No one will understand! My father died and no one even cares!" I heard the front door open. "I'M HOME!" My mother called. Without thinking, i bolted out of the room. i hugged my mother. "Now this is unexpected." "Mamma, the hospital called." "Is this good or bad news?" She held me at arms length. I shook my head, letting her see the tears. "Oh honey." She hugged me again. My brother came and went back to his laptop, as if nothing had happened. "Ma, why are you here so early?" He asked. Then i just realized it. She is home early, this is not good news. "I am here to pack. i got a job offer in Virginia." I stopped hugging her. "What?! No you cant, mamma, what about my friends, my life? Also, father just died and now we have to leave? Why do you always have to do this? I wanted to stay here. My friends are better than anywhere else we lived." "Now honey, we aren't leaving right away and you can still keep contact with your friends." "That is what you always say and we always do just the opposite! Have you ever wanted to stay in one place just once? Or have you thought the idea of moving everytime I make friends is fun? This day has gotten worse and worse." I rushed back to my room. "Honey!" She banged on my door. "I am sorry that we have to move so much. It's not my fault that we have to. My boss is starting a new buissness down there and he is sending me there to watch the process." I didn't answer her. "Melony, open this door right now!" She banged harder. "Why should i? It's the only privacy i have!" "You have to stop shutting yourself up in your room." "Well, you're going to have to get used to it. It's going to happen a lot more."
