Chapter 4

 

I walked into my house and saw my mom sitting down at the kitchen table.

   

"Hey mom" I said as I grabbed a pop from the fridge.

   

"Rachael, Where have you been?" She asked as I sat down on a chair and opened my pop.

   

"I went to the doctor and then I stopped by Brian's house" I said as my mom looked at me.

   

"Why did you go to Brian's house?" She asked, I was getting mad, she didn't need to know everything I did.

   

"Mom I'm 19 years old and you don't need to know everything thing I do and every move I make" I said as I took the phone and walked up the stairs. I walked into my room and slammed the door. I dialed Brian's phone number and laid down on my bed.

 

"Hello?" I heard Brian say sleepily.

   

"Hey Bri, did I wake you up?" I asked.

   

"Nope, whats wrong you sound mad" He said as I took a sip of my pop.

   

"It's my mom" I said as I put the pop down on the coffee table next to my bed.

   

"did you tell her yet?"

   

"No, I didn't get to yet, she wanted to know where I was and I told her that I went to the doctors and your house and shes like why did u go to your house and that's when I just snapped on her, she doesn’t need to know where I am at every second" I said all in one breath.

   

"You need to get out of that house for a night".

   

"Yeah, What you got in mind?" I asked knowing whenever Brian said that he wanted to get out.

   

"Well Kev's having a party at his house you want to go?"

   

"Is Nick gonna be there?"

   

"I dunno, when I asked him today he said he didn't know if he was gonna come".

   

"Oh, well I don't know, I mean I don't want to see Nick right now"

   

"C'mon Rach, you need to get out and don't worry about Nick, if you don't want to talk to him then don't" Brian said. I guess I should, I didn't want to make Brian disappointed.

   

"OK, I'll go" I said.

   

"I'll pick you up in a hour I got to go so I could get ready" Brian said.

   

"I'll see ya later B" I said.

   

“See ya rach" He said as I hung up the phone and walked over to my closet. I looked at all the close, I didn't even know If I was gonna fit in these any more. I picked out a loose red spaghetti strap shirt and a pair of my black jean shorts. I walked into the bathroom and changed. I looked at my face in the mirror and put on some lip gloss. I put my hair in a high ponytail and left my bangs hanging at the sides of my face. I walked out the bathroom and saw Brian would be here to pick me up in 10 minutes. I sprayed on some my Ralph perfume and walked down the stairs. I put on my sandals just as my mom walked into the front room.

   

"Where are you going?" She asked me as I walked to the closet and grabbed my purse.

   

"Out" I said as I walked out the door and sat on the steps waiting for Brian.
