"Morning mom." I greeted.
"Morning Annie" mom responded with a smile.
"There's someone that you would like to meet." Mom smiled again.
"Who??" I asked.
"Let's go." She headed towards the living room.
"At first, I taught it was grandma or maybe even uncle Miles. But it was just a random young looking man.
"Who's he??" I asked.
"Hey Annie." The man said smiling.
"And how does he know my name??" I asked.
"He's your step father." Mom said.
Those words hit my head like a piece of a giant rock. I can't believe mom wants to remarry. I'm hardly getting over dad and now she's already bringing in a new man? How could she have hardly forgotten that dad died in a car accident because she wanted to eat French fries so bad!!! I never expected she would get over the guilt not to even speak of getting married to someone else.
"Annie??" Mom called after expecting a reply from me but I didn't say a word.
I walked away.
I dashed into my room, locked the door behind and collapsed next to my door.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Mom knocked.
"Just go" I sobbed.
"Annie you can't keep acting like this??" Mom said from the other side of the door.
"I never expected this from you mom." I replied. With more than enough tears rolling down my cheeks.
"You know I can't live that this forever Annie. I need someone to hold on to." Mom replied.
"But I promise to always hold on to you mom. So what else are you looking for??" I asked.
"You can't. Annie you can't." Mom replied.
"Why??" I asked.
"I need a mam to stand by me and always be there for me. I think you should understand things by now." Mom said.
"You need a man?? You need a man to stand by you??" I scoffed.
"Annie please understand me." Mom pleaded.
"How can you quickly forget the fact that dad died because of you!!!!!" I yelled hitting my hand so hard against the door.
"Don't even dare Annie!!" Mom aggressively yelled.
"Why won't I?? I yelled back.
"Don't make me feel like this is my fault." She responded.
"Then whose fault is it. Huh??" I asked.
She didn't reply.
"Go ahead and have fun with your husband. There's no point in talking about this anyways." I said crawling towards my bed.
I heard her exiting foot steps.
I cried and my eye balls almost feel out.
Vrrrrr! Vrrrrr! Vrrrrrr! My phobe vibrated.
It was Chris my class mate calling.
I sniffed in and wiped off my face.
"Hi." I greeted.
"Annie are you fine??" He asked.
"Yes. I'm perfectly okay." I faked a chuckle.
"Can you come to the park now??" He requested.
"Why??" I asked.
"So we can write the script for the school play together." He said.
"I'll join you in a jiffy." I replied.
"See you soon."
I ended the call.
