My Story Life Sucks!

the call

"I arrived feeling much calmer than I was, why was he drinking? He never did before, he looked unhappy", a thought of concern popped up in my mind.

While I was laying on my bed I tried to forget everything that just happened, I shut my eyes and without me realizing I was into deep sleep but not for long, because my phone rang from my back  pocket in my denim jeans, and I quickly grabbed hold of it and lifted it up to my ears, I didn't even bother to check who it was and I answered " hello this is Linah speaking who am I speaking to?", as I asked in annoyance, my eyes where still shut.

"It's Grace remember, I just called to ask how you are  since our last talk?" She said.

" oh! Mrs Grace, I mean Grace well I'm doing better I guess," I answered  while I slowly opened my eyes, I wanted to tell her that I saw him but something from the back of my mind stopped me from continuing and I said good bye to her and pressed the red button to end the call.

Just when I was about to shut my eyes and go to sleep mom called me out from the kitchen, telling me that I should look after my brother while she went some way and I didn't bother to ask were and agreed. I had the living room door swung open and as she exit the room I went into the living room were my small brother was, he was watching cartons and he looked very happy and innocent I couldn't help but envy my brother he didn't have to think about the torturers heart problems of this rotting world, I sat next to him but then again my mind slipped  of off me to another world, only my body  was present because I didn't even realise that after 20 minutes of seating in the living room, my mom had already returned.

After having my evening meals I took a shower and went to bed, though I still couldn't help but wonder as to why Carlos was in such state, a part of me wanted to know what he was going through but my inner voice reminded me to mind my own business.

7:50

I woke up feeling very tired, but I managed to drag my self into the shower to freshen up, after 15 good minutes of showering, I ate my breakfast while scrolling through my texts, my eyes  landed on a text from a friend of mine  i was studying  with the same course.

" hi! Why have you been so quite these past weeks anyways I just texted if you are looking forward to our graduation ceremony this coming Monday " my eyes widened in surprise, Monday! did time really  flew that fast that I never realised that in six months time I would graduate.

It just felt like yesterday when I just finished writing my final papers, and already graduating.
"How could you have realized that time was moving when you were so caught up in your own world or did you think that every thing was going to stop while you  sob? My inner voice snapped at me.

" yah looking forward to the big day" I replied while deep down i knew its the last thing I wanted to attend.

" same here Lee " she replied Instantly.

"Lee! Did she just  make out a nick name for me."

It wasn't long before the big day arrived, all the Senior students were gathered in the Hall and the headmaster was up in front giving a speech to the crowed, after the long boring speech, the headmaster finally started calling all the names of the students who were graduating to the front one by one to get their certificates diplomas etc, Mr Charles who was the headmaster then called out my name but unfortunately I was so lost in my thoughts that I barely heard him call my name, I only saw my mom who was seating next to me move up to the front with excitement to get my honours degree, the principal handed it to her when he was told that she was my mom, she came back with a huge smile and sat next to me, I couldn't help but smile to my self I knew she was proud of me and all her efforts of struggling to raise me up on her own did not go to waste.
