I feel nervous today cause I'm pretty sure Blake's going to talk to me today.
I get ready for school and I see my mom in the kitchen, with something that looks like a ring on her finger.
OMG!! Is my mom getting married? I hope she isn't getting married to that shirtless doof.
I walk towards her and I can see that she's trying to hide the engagement ring from me.
"Are you getting married?" I asked her and I feel quite concerned about why she didn't tell me.
"Yes, you might know him." She said " the guy that I was kissing that time in the couch. Can you remember?" She asked.
How can I forget??
"Yes I remember. He proposed?" I asked and she nods.
"When were you eventually going to tell me about the engagement ring?"I asked."w-where you even going to tell me that you are getting married?" I asked her.
"Pumpkin, I didn't want you to be upset" she said.
"So you thought keeping it from me was the best decision to take. You thought I would be upset? I'm not upset. I am just hurt that my mom couldn't tell me that she's getting married" I yell at her and see my mom's hand go across my face. I yell in pain. I tried not to cry because if I do, Naomi is going to ask me questions and I know it's going to lead me to telling about my dad.
"None of this is your business, Avery. So don't ever yell at me." She said. I can't even look at her, it's like her brain has been hijacked or invaded by the guy.
I just grab my keys and leave, trying to put on a straight face.
After about 30 seconds, I get to school and I see Naomi talking to Blake.
As if my life is complicated enough..
I just walked past them and go to class. Naomi comes in and takes her usual seat next to mine.
"Are you okay? You don't seem happy as you always do" she looks at me.
"Maybe I don't wanna be happy today. Maybe I just want to be left alone" I said in anger.
"Are you still mad at me for lying to you?. I said I was sorry, Ave" she said
The last thing I need right now is attention as I can see group of students looking at me.
I stand up from my seat and run to the bathroom. Once I reach there, I go into one of the toilet, locked the door and started spilling out tears.
The tears I was holding when my mom slapped me and everything that has happened in my life combined.
Sometimes I wish I can just leave this world, then everyone would be at peace.
If not for me, my dad will still be with my mom. I just feel like I need to go away forever and I Know when I'm gone, no one will even Know. So what's the point of living?.
I was interrupted with a knock on the door. I opened the door, and I see Naomi staring down at me.
She pulls me up gently and hugs me. I hug her back instantly.
"Avery, what's going on?" She asked as pulls away to look at me.
I shake my head and pull away from her completely. As I try to walk away, she grabs my wrist and pulls me back to her gently
"You can't just walk away Everytime you're upset. You need to talk." She said.
I walk away so people don't see that i am weak even though I am.
" I don't want to talk about it, Naomi" I said "so let us just leave it alone" I added
"No. Did Blake hurt you? Cause If he did, I'mma spank someone's child" I laugh softly and her lips turn up knowing that she made me smile.
"No, nothing happened with Blake" I said "but can I ask a question?" I added.
" Yeah sure" she said.
"Ok" I started "if I die. Will you miss me ?" I asked her and she's shocked by my question.
"Avery.... How did that even enter your head?" She looks at me with a concerned look.
"I just need to know"
