Dear Diary,
Last night was a bomb and I should have seen it coming at the moment Dad left Mom. Mom just blew out of control and before she even left, she got out of the ambulance and went in a running charge after me-but thankfully one of the cops caught her and restrained her in the nick of time, before anything worse than what happened- happened. Today I saw dad moving his things and my newly seen stepmoms things into the house (since the house was still in his name) and was still paying the bills in the house (don't ask why he left it that way- it's too complicated.) Anyway, today I also saw Kevin at school and during class- he asked me out and I actually said yes. For some reason or another I feel at ease knowing I can talk to someone about my problems- but not only that but someone that can help me move on from Xander and Susan-
"Stacy, Kevin is here!" Dad calls out from downstairs.
"I'll be down in a sec!," I call down as I get off my bed and closed my diary placed it in my desk. Getting my sweater on, I walk out of my room and I see Max walking and texting at the same time.
"You better watch out Mr! You'll get hurt if you keep doing that." I said rubbing his head as I walked passed him. He shrugged and he didn't answer-he usually did. After what happened last night-
Flashback Begins-
As the cops and ambulance drove off I hear a car pull up and I see Max getting out and looking at us with a confused look on his face.
"What just happened?" he asks, looking at dad with the cuts and bruises on his face. Michelle comes rushing over and holding dad in her arms.
"I can't believe that psycho-" She started to say but dad cut her off.
"My daughter just had to see her mother go through a breakdown! I don't need you bashing her at this bad of a time!" Dad snapped at her. I just can't really disagree- even though she has been off for the last six months, she's still our mom and what I'm worried about is how to take care of Max with this going on.
"Please tell me what happened to Mommy." Max asks just stumped over what dad meant by what he said.
"Your mommy just did a number on your father!-" I decide to cut in.
"This has nothing to do with you Michelle! Why don't you stay away from my brother?" I ask glaring at her.
"I'm still you're-" she says then pauses.
"I don't even know why I put up with your attitude," she says then walks away.
"Jackass," I say mumbling under my breath and she turns like a tiger to a zebra.
"You stupid brat!" she yells then stamps off somewhere to smoke her pot. It's not my Mother's fault that this is going on! She has problems and right now I just want her to get better…
"Just ignore her, she's only mad because I had made the decision of you staying with me too full time without talking to her about it first," he says sighing. I look down and hold dad tightly in my arms, my eyes coated with tears I just can't stop thinking about these images inside my mind with mom acting this way. It hurts and I don't know what to do...
Flashback Ends-
I hear Max talking to Wendy and he's just pissed off still. I see them in the kitchen as Max is eating a sandwich and he's just venting towards Wendy about last night.
"I hate our step-mom." Max said bluntly.
"All she does is smoke pot and put me down. At least with mom I know I can talk to someone when dad isn't around." He said looking down and just not sure where to put words into this whole thing. I don't blame him, that god damned bitch just doesn't know a thing about mom and with the way she acted towards this- I'm fucking glad she doesn't have kids. Otherwise she's just going to end up alone and her kids not talking to her for the rest of their lives.
"Where are you going sis?" Max asked. I smile and I point outside.
"I'm going out on a date." I said then walking out the door. As I walked out I hear Max following me and he jumps up to see Kevin.
"Hi, so you're my older sister's new boyfriend?" Max asked. Kevin blushed and nodded.
"Oh and by the way, we have a horrible step mom-" He started to say but I cut him off.
"Max." I said looking at him quietly. He sighs and looks at me annoyed.
"I hate her! All she does is stupid shit-" He says then dad steps in.
"Watch your tone young man! Now get back inside so your sister can leave in peace." Dad said and meaning it too. Max groaned and walked back inside. He sighed and looked at Kevin.
"I know what it feels to have that sort of stuff happen sir, I have an uncle who just happens to slap my aunt around and even after he went to jail twice for it- they still let him in with welcome arms. It's why I got a place of my own with my dad's help and with what I make in an income." Kevin explained. My eyes widened and I look at him in silence. Then dad breaks the silence.
"Ok now enough with sad stories! You guys have a date now don't you? Go and by the way-" He said then rummaging through his pocket and pulling out a visa card. He smiles as our eyes widened.
"Dad no!" I said loudly but he pushed the card at me.
"I want you to enjoy yourself with Kevin. Please?" He asked smiling. I grow silent then nod and smile, giving him a hug and a kiss I walk to Kevin's car and we get in.
"Kevin! Don't do what I wouldn't do." He said giving him a smirk. Kevin blushes and shakes his head. He starts the car and pulls away so we can go back to the park for a while.
"Yay Kevin, push me faster!" I yelled as he pushed me on the swing. I know immature, but it's a lot of fun!
"Ok but I still want to be gentle!" He said laughing. I giggle at the sound of his voice. I never felt this way before! It just makes me happy to know that I can finally find someone who I can really open up to…
"Hey Stacy?" Kevin asked as he pushed me on the swing.
"Yeah?" I asked back. He stopped at the sudden second I replied. Then walking around and facing me.
"Stacy, I know this is sudden- but I just want you to know that I never felt this way before." He said then kissing me gently. My eyes widen and my heart sits still but not my lips. They move against his and with that my heart flutters in an upbeat motion of the love that I just realized I was feeling for Kevin. This just seemed so real, but then the cold air came and everything changed. I heard this voice that came in an uproar and we stop and I look passed Kevin. I saw him- I saw Andrew.
"Kevin we need to go!" I yelled. But not before Andrew snaps his neck and grabs my arm.
"It took me this long to awaken, now I have you!" He yells.
