Life Is What You Make It (Student/Teacher <3)

Chapter 11

Recap:

I sat in silence for a good 20 minutes and they all stayed where they were around my car. I remember yesterday morning when I had gotten the call from my Aunt Kim that my mom had turned up and she wanted to talk to me. Soon Aunt Kim told Autumn and Drake and they all kept texting me so I thought it would be a good idea to get away. Bad idea! Bad idea! Bad idea!

“Alright, I have something to say.” I got out of the car and looked at the woman they called my mother. “You’re a fucking selfish bitch and I hope you burn in hell.” I got back in the car and sped off leaving a gob-smacked group of people behind.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I drove. And drove. And drove. I physically couldn't stop driving because i knew once i did, everything that just happened would hit me like a ton of bricks. I turned on the radio since music sometimes helps to calm me down. 

"And next up on our count down is I Wonder by Kellie Pickler."

Oh hell no! I know the song and it always makes me cry but i couldn't bring myself to change the station so i pulled over. The music started and I just sang along. 

Sometimes I think about you

Wonder if you're out there somewhere thinking bout me

And would you even recognize

The woman that your little girl has grown up to be

Cause I look in the mirror and all I see

Are your brown eyes looking back at me

They're the only thing you ever gave to me at all

The tears kept streaming down my face but i didn't even care. I needed this. 

Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California

There's sunny skies as far I can see

If you ever come back home to Carolina

I wonder what you'd say to me

I think about how it ain't fair

That you weren't there to braid my hair

Like mothers do

You weren't around to cheer me on

Help me dress for my high school prom

Like mothers do

Did you think I didn't need you here

To hold my hand

To dry my tears

Did you even miss me through the years at all

Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California

There's sunny skies as far I can see

If you ever come back home to Carolina

I wonder what you'd say to me

Forgiveness is such a simple word

But it's so hard to do when you've been hurt

Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California

And just in case you're wondering about me

From now on I won't be in Carolina
