Picking Up the Pieces: The End of All
3 Months later…
I’m surprised the snob, I mean, Angelo, are getting along fine. To be honest, we were like brothers. He comes over sometimes to eat dinner and I do the same at his place. Never felt like this before. He knows a lot my secrets. It’s nice to finally have someone to talk to. I thought I was going to explode because of all the thoughts that I’ve kept to myself.
On a sadder note, mom and dad have been at it for weeks. Every time I come home, I hear either crying or screaming. I hope it’s normal for married couples to be like this ever so often. I mean, who ever heard of a married couple separating? That’s just preposterous.
Last Day of School:
I can’t believe that I’ll finally become a 7th grader. Never thought I’d leave this hell hole. I’m going to miss Ms. Goodwell though. She will probably be the best teacher I’ll ever have.
Although I usually walk to school at a steady pace, I ran to school. I don’t know why I ran. Was it because I wanted to get everything over with? Was it because I can’t wait to say goodbye to everyone? Whatever it was, I ran until I could hear my heartbeat thumping inside of my very cranium.
As I walk into class, everyone is relaxing. I forgot that there was going to be a pizza today because it was the last day of school and promotion day.
I quickly scanned the room for Angelo, so that I could show him my new drawings. As I approached him, he was surrounded by the popular snobs. As I walked towards them, the snobs glared at me while Angelo didn’t even give me eye contact. The snobs, like Angelo, started pretending that I didn’t exist after their glares.
“Hey Angelo,” I greeted casually.
“He doesn’t want to talk to you weirdo.”
I ignored whoever made that remark. “I brought new drawings!”
He stood there silent. I tilted my head and stared at him in confusion as if I was looking at a contraption that I have never seen before.
“Hey guys, what is the bed wetter blabbering about?” Angelo questioned.
I was shocked that those words came from his mouth. Did he tell the other guys about how I wet my bed two months ago? I can’t believe he would…
The whole classroom fell silent, stared, and laughed. I never felt so embarrassed. I started tearing up. I did not even notice it until I saw my tears fall onto the floor.
I ran out the door. I wanted to die. I never felt so…..
Home:
I was so sad and shocked…. I decided to go home. I ran home. Funny, I ran to school and now I’m running back home.
When I got home, it was silent. No crying or screaming. Just silence. I searched all over the house for my parents.
“Mom! Dad!” I called out, hoping for a response.
As I went upstairs and peered into my parents room, which was around the corner, I saw my dad sitting on the bed, alone.
“Dad, what happened?”
He sat there silent.
“Dad.”
He was still silent.
“Dad!” I yelled.
“She left.”
“Who left?” My heart began pounding.
“Your mom.”
My heart stopped beating. My whole world felt like it was falling apart. My mind went black. My eyes became blurry.
Yes, this day…. I learned that people will come and go in your life… No matter who they are….
