There I sat, on my laptop I had gotten for my birthday just weeks before. Ever sence my parents started fighting, this is where I've stayed. In my room, on my laptop, watching my favorite movie, Corpse Bride. (Mine is actually TNBC... but ya know.... that'd be kinda weird...)
It happened just a few months ago.... I remember sitting at home, on the computer when my dad came walking through the door. "Well, Selia's not comming back." He said, slumping down and putting his head in his hands. "Why not?" I turned my head to one side, confused. "She's with Jack!"
I turned my head even father to indicate to my father I was still confused. "Think about it Olivia! She comes home, makes dinner, then just leaves! She's with Jack! I just know it!" I didn't pay much attention to it then, but something deep inside me stirred... Sadness... Deep inside, I knew what was going to happen.... And part of me didn't want it to happen.
My dad was always.... well..... kind of... I don't wanna say cruel, but that's kinda what he was. I always liked my mom a little better. So when he started calling her, and yelling at her to tell him where she was and who she was with, she decided enough was enough.
It came as no suprse to me when she sat me down and told me we needed to talk. "Olivia, hunny, I'm moving out for a litle while okay? You're welcome to come with me, but please, just make the decision that will make YOU happiest, not anyone else." I nodded, then told her that I wanted to be with her no matter where we went. I knew my dad couls get pretty violent, and I didn't want to chance gettin in his crossfire.
So, within a matter of days, we were moved in. Jack supplied our couch and tv. He still comes for visits every few days... and I really don't mind. I've grown to like Jack over time. He's so nice and well mannered.
I close my laptop and get up to turn on my tv. I turned on my dvd player and put in Corpse Bride. I knew all the songs by heart. As "According to plan" came on, I start to sing along. I softly hum as I hug my vapmire teddybear close to my chest. I feel the tears well up in my eyes. I just want things to be like they were. I didn't want to be a broken family. I loved my mom AND my dad. I was scared for Jack, and scared for myself....
They've been pretty good at keeping me out of their arguments, but.... eariler today, after my dad brought me dinner, he turned and said to me, "I didn't get your mom anything...... ," Then he added bitterly," She can starve for ll I care." For some reason, that hit home. My heart felt like it was going to burst open at any moment. I suddenly colapsed on the floor and wept. I wept untill I couldn't cry another drop.
I decide to try and sleep. The last sound I heard was Emily snging;
And it seems that I still have some tears to shed...
