The Teenage Years

Home

" Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg get up!" A voice kept shouted while I slept.

" What?" I croaked, still half asleep.

" We're allowed to leave!"

" What?" I asked as I tried to get up. I rubbed my eyes until my vision was clear and I could see him. His blue eyes sparkled while the sun escaped into the room, shining into my eyes.

" We're allowed to go back home Meg."

" Is this a dream." I asked while I rubbed my eyes.

" No it's real, so grab you're stuff."

" Alrighty." I smiled, and scrambled to get my phone.

" Is that all you have?"

" Yes."

" We should get on the road now."

" Sure, did you tell the nurse that I'm leaving?"

" Yes, I did."

15 minutes later...

" Are you ready?"

" Yup."

" Okay." He said as he pulled out of the parking lot. " It's a few hours from home."

" How many?"

" About three hours."

" Oh I wonder why they sent me so far away."

" I don't actually know honestly."

" I'm going to call my mom." He nodded. I punched in her number on my iPhone and dialled. It rung a few times before anyone answered.

' Hello.'
' Why haven't you been answering my calls?!'
' Mom you haven't been calling...'
' What's you're number then?'
' 261-1531.'
' Ohh I've been calling 260-1531.'
' Oh.'
' That still doesn't answer my question. Where the hell are you?!'
' I'm just leaving the hospital actually.'
' Why were you at the hospital?'
' I'll explain when I get home.'
' Alright, um- so you're Dads been calling.'
' He's not my Dad, he will never be my father-ever.'
' Well I'm not sugar coating anything for you, and I won't force you, but you should at least try to speak to him.'
' I guess.' I sighed.
' Well I'll see you later then.'
' Bye Mom, love you.'
' I love you too honey.'

" How's you're mom?"

" Good I think."

" Hey Meg there's a Starbucks over there, do you want something?"

" I'd love to."

" Alright." Dan smiled while pulling into an empty parking lot that seemed quite vacant, almost like a ghost town.
" Should we use the drive-thru? Or go inside?" He asked.

" Definitely drive-thru, I'm super lazy."

" Okay." Dan chucked while pulling forward.

' Hello it's Starbucks, how can I help you?'
' Um a tall raspberry passion tea lemonade please.' I said handing Dan a five dollar bill. ' No.' He whispered neglecting it.'
' Is that you're whole order?'
' No actually, can I have a water please.'
' Alright sure, that'll be 9.54.'
Dan nodded while driving forward to the second window.

" Damn. This water better be freshly imported from the clearest, and freshest waters in the world, or I'll file a complaint. I mean nearly five buck for a bottle of water is overboard." He protested while intertwining his hands in mine.

" Yea we should have stopped somewhere else if you wanted cheaper water." I snorted, as I tightened my grip on his hand, and kissed his cheek.

" Megan!" I was welcomed with open arms. And strangled by my moms arms wrapped around my neck.

" Mom-can't. Breathe." I choked.

" Oh sorry honey." She let go.

" It's fine." I said while gasping.

" What's do you want for dinner?"

" I don't think I can eat anything right now honestly."

" Okay well you must eat something later, or you'll be sick."

" I'm so tired." I yawned.

" You should get some rest sweetie."

" I'll try." I poured myself a glass of water and headed odd to my bedroom. After I downed an entire glass of water, I slipped on some roots sweatpants, and a baggy shirt. As soon as I rested my head in the pillows I drifted off to an instant sleep, which never actually happens, so it was weird to be sleeping.

When I woke my head was pounding., and my clock read 8:07 P.M. I put my hands on my head, and dry swallowed an Advil. I decided to get up and head to the kitchen. Once I got to the kitchen I saw a takeout container with Chinese food, and a note attached to the side.
' Sorry Hun, we'll talk tomorrow. I had a rough day at work, and I decided to hit the hay. Goodnight love!'

Awh Mom knew how much I loved getting Chinese takeout. I grinned and took it over to the couch. I ate it while watching Orange Is The New Black. I was nearly done an episode, and I heard a knock at the door. I walked over to the door, and opened it.

" Hello uh-Megan?"

" Yes. Who are you?"

" Well actually I'm you're Father." He grimaced.
