is my house.”
“Okay, you established that. Sweetie, your not,” “Yes, leave. I want you out before Teal wakes up, she won’t stand for this!” “Sweet,”
“Don’t! Call me tonight so I can move your things,” I hear a clank on the floor.
I open the door, quietly, and walk down the stairs. I see dad standing and mom sitting at the kitchen table. Oh God no! It’s mom’s wedding ring! I make a noise and walk downstairs.
Dad quickly picks up the ring, comes over to me, and says, “Honey, I’ve got some things to do before we leave, if we leave, and I won’t be back for awhile. Your mother will decide wether you, we, go to Cali or not.”
He comes over to hug me and kisses me on the cheek. I have a tear in my eye. I didn’t mean what I said last night. The one time one of my wishes come true and its a bad thing! Dad looks at mom and heads for the door, grabs his coat, and is gone.
“Mom, last night,” I didn’t finish.
“I know you heard, everything. Didn’t you,” She asks.
“Yeah, and I wanted to say something last night, but I was to angry. You know how I always wanted to be a star,” Mom nods, “Well, I looked up a few weeks ago the opportunities that could make me famous. I have a good voice and I won three contests last year because of it. I made up my mind and I want to go!” I wanted to ask who Katy was, but I didn’t.
“Honey, its not that. Well, its half of what the fight was about, but thats not it entirely,” Mom says.
“Well,” I wait for an answer.
“We had a baby a few weeks ago, when I went on my business trip. You probably saw that I gained a few pounds,” I nod. I’m still thinking who Katy is, “ Well, she was born, and I told your father about it. Remember that night you were alone? When I was sleeping, he killed her. I…..,” She doesn’t finish. She runs to the bathroom.
I was guessing that Katy was the baby. I could’ve had a baby sister! That murderer. I can’t believe it. I have a tear in my eye.
Mom returns and says, “Dear I am so sorry. Its just he took her to the hospital and told them to inject her with this medicine that kills you quicker than you can say super-calla-frege-a-listic-ex-be-a-la-docious! I woke up and I noticed he wasn’t next to me. I looked for the baby and I panicked. I called the cops and before I could even dial the last 1 your father came in. I hung up and asked your father, at least he’s honest. I can still hear that fragile voice, I killed her. I grabbed him and he almost killed me. Honey, your father has been acting really strange, and we should get away from him for awhile. We will go to Cali, but only if you want too. I’m not rushing an answer, but your father wants to come back, probably, as soon as he can.”
“Mom, I…I want to go. I’ll make new friends, and I’ve always wanted to see my favorite singers. It’ll be an opportunity of a lifetime,”I finish.
I feel kind of heart-broken because I’m leaving everybody, and I have a choice. I nod to my mom and I get a cup of coffee. When I finish it I go up to my room. I go to my phone and dial Rose’s phone number. I look at the clock, Way to early!! I decide to call her in two hours or so. I lay on my bed, thinking what a little sister would be like in my life. I then go back downstairs and watch t.v. for an hour. I get breakfast, waffles with my mom’s homemade fruit sauce. I then look at the clock and go back upstairs. I call Rose, voicemail…..
I say “Hey Rose, its Teal. I was wondering if you wanted to maybe come over today. I need to pack but maybe, if you can help me, we can hang out afterwards. Call me later.”
I then dial Justin’s number, he answers!
“Hello,” He says.
“Hi its Teal. Look I’m having a get together today, do you wanna come,”I ask.
“Uh, I can’t hanging with, uh….,” There was a long pause.
“Hello,” I ask.
Then I heard the hang up noise. What a jerk! He has to lie, and then he hangs up!
RING, RING!!! It’s Rose.
“Hey.”
“Hey, yeah I’m on my way over.”
“OK, see you then,” Then the hang up sound again.
Is it hang up on Teal day today? I hear the doorbell ring and I rush downstairs. I open the door and it’s Rose. We both run upstairs. We both sit on the bed.
Rose looks around the room, sighs, and says, “When we going to start?”
She has a sad look in her eyes.
“I guess now ‘cause we don’t really have time.” I say.
“OMG I wish you were never moving! Oh, and where’s your dad?” Rose asks.
“Oh, uh, my Mom and Dad had a fight last night about my feelings about moving,” I reply.
I wanted to tell Rose about Katy, but I didn’t want her to worry.
“I’ll get the boxes. You start unpacking and folding them. I’ll be right back.” I say.
Rose nods and I get the boxes. I go downstairs, get them, then go back up. I hear long sobs. It’s Rose! I listen and it sounds like she’s writing something. I then hear her get up. I run in the bathroom. She runs downstairs. I drop the boxes and go into my bedroom. My vase is on the floor, smashed. The bed’s sheets are torn off the bed. There is a note posted on my wall. It says: “Teal, I know you have a choice to go. Your mom told me. I called her this morning. Why do you choose to go. I want you to stay! Why, Teal? WHY!?”
I am flabbergasted. Why did she have to tear up my room? I want to call her, but I’m afraid that she won’t answer. If she wants to be that way I won’t call her, anymore or even see her, anymore! I am furious. I want to tell my mom, but that would pee her off. I start cleaning the glass. I got that from dad. NO! I shouldn’t think of that now. After that’s done I start packing my clothes. I want to leave as soon as possible. I wish I could leave today, or tomorrow! Whatever. I’m peed off. I’m finished with the clothes. I leave a few clothes for about a week. I start packing my valuables. Glass, ceramics, that stuff. I’m almost finished with my room. Can’t wait to leave!
Chapter 7
It’s been a week and we are done packing! I miss Rose. I wish she never left. It would’ve been fine if she didn’t leave. She has serious anger issues. I laugh in my head. I get a bagel and I look at my mom. She knows I’m tired. It’s 4 A.M and we’re ready to leave for the airport. I sent Rose a text message saying I’m sorry for everything. She won’t respond. I get one last glance at the house. I go up to my room and sit in the middle of the floor. I get my pillow for the ride to the Airport. I close my eyes for a minute and remember all the good times I had in this house. Rose coming over, gossip, parties, dance parties. Then Justin coming over, not knowing that Justin liked me, study ‘dates’, and fun. Wow, I am really going to miss New York. I open my eyes and get up. I walk downstairs looking around. It feels like this house is an old friend. Like we had a couple downs, but they just come back to good again. It’s like leaving a very homely friend. Like Rose… I can’t think about her right now, I want to think about Cali. I get in the car and I take a nap. When I wake up Mom says, “We are very close to the airport. If you look, you can see a lot of planes.” I look and I see the RyanAir plane. It’s huge. To tell you the truth, I have never been on a plane. I’m kind of excited! I can’t wait! -————————————- When we arrive, I put my suitcase on the spinny thing. This airport is so crowded. Must be ‘Get out of New York’ day. My mom and I get to the airport lady. (As you can see, I don’t know much about airports.) Mom hands her the tickets and the lady says “Have a nice AirRide day!” She has that fake smile. I’m guessing AirRide is the airport. I get on the plane and we are ready to go. We are riding in Coach. It’s way better than low class, I guess. I wonder what the High class is? Anyways, my mom orders vegetables, she’s trying to be on a diet. I order a cookie and a Mountain Fizz. I get the window seat, yay! We hear the ‘Fasten Your Seat-belts’ voice and hear the engines take off. I am exhilarated. It’s a weird feeling. It seems like were going three miles per hour. As soon as we take off my ears pop. I hate when that happens. I finally try the cookie. It’s disgusting. I swear I saw hair on it. Gross! I’m afraid what Mom will think when she tastes the veggies. I look out my window and all I can see is clouds. I am so tired, I am going to sleep.
----------------------------------------
Oh my gosh! We’re here! I look at mom and she is still sleeping. I shake her and she finally wakes up.
“Mom, we’re here!” I say, excitedly.
“Okay, I was meaning to ask you this, but I had a senior moment. LOL! But,where do you want to go first?” She asks, trying to make up for her senior moment.
“Hollywood, all the way!”I say, electrified.
“Alrighty Aphrodite,”Mom says.
I get my luggage and mom’s from over top of my head. I then wait for mom to get out of her seat so I can get out. I’m so adrenalized! I definitely want to go to the beach later and maybe get my mind off Justin. I’m so mad about him, I can’t even think straight. I ask mom if maybe we can eat first. I’m starved! Mom and I go into the airport to grab our bigger luggage. Our other stuff, like couches and junk, is getting sold because all the...wait. Since dad bought the house by the shore, where are we going to live?
I ask mom “Mom? Where are we going to stay, you know, since dad bought the other place?”
“Well, I bought a place on my own on tuesday. I know how you wanted to try to become famous and all so it’s here in Hollywood! I hope that’s okay,” Mom says.
I pause for like 20 seconds, holding up the luggage line behind me.
I scream “NO WAY!!!”
Mom thought it was a bad thing, I just see the look on her face.
She then starts apologizing “Honey, I already bought the place. If I thought you didn’t like it...”
“Like it?”I ask, trying to play the ‘I hate what you done’ game.
We both start walking towards the door, then we go to the bus stop.
“Well, I thought you would be happy. You know, you would see your
“Okay, you established that. Sweetie, your not,” “Yes, leave. I want you out before Teal wakes up, she won’t stand for this!” “Sweet,”
