Home.

Home is defined as a place where you are always welcomed; a gathering place for family to join together in laughter. The one place you will always be surrounded by those who love you.

Home.

Home is supposed to be a happy place, a sanctuary right? Well lately it is neither of those.. Mum and I fight a lot and its not like little fights, well they start of little and then they grow into this like massive storm cloud sort of thing. She's been picking on everything I do lately; my hair, the way I eat, who I should be friends with and who I shouldn’t be friends with and my weight.. Like for instant we were at the shops the other day and we walked past this swimwear shop and I told mum I needed a new pair of bikinis and she said 'oh honey I think you may need to start wearing a one piece, cause you are getting a little bit chunky' I just laughed it off because like what else am I supposed to do? Seriously!

Its like everything I do is wrong in her eyes.

Nothing I do is right.

Nothing I ever do is right

"So India, where has Luke been lately?" Mum asked as we sat on the couch in front of the tv

"He's on tour mum, I told you that?" I replied looking at her

"Why would he be on tour in the middle of the school year!" mum exclaimed

"because he has enough points to graduate school and he is chasing his dreams mum!"

"How long is this 'tour' supposed to go for huh?"

"It goes for about 3-4 months all up, but he is coming home in a few weeks" I explained to her

"He doesn’t sound like a very good boyfriend if he is leaving you for that long to chase this dream that won't come true. Is he even talented?" she said bluntly

"Excuse me but Luke is an amazing boyfriend thank you very much! And so what if he's dream doesn’t come true at least he has the balls to go and chase his dream instead of sitting at home!" I yelled and stormed to the stairs

"Oh and he is very fucking talented" I mentioned as I walked up to my room

I flipped my phone out and quickly texted Shannon telling her what happened and that I would be over soon.

"mum I'm staying at Shannon's tonight!" I yelled grabbing my overnight bag and walking down the stairs

"yeah about Shannon.. I don’t think you should be friends with her anymore" mum said bluntly

"um why? She's my best friend"

"Because I don’t like her she has changed you India you aren't the same India you used to be"
