"Hey, mom? Can I go to the mall with Seira and Carry today?" I asked, as she typed away on her computer.
"Mhm."
" Well, can I borrow twenty dollars?"
"Autumn, I'm busy. Go to your father," she snapped. Sighing I walked out to the garage.
" Dad?" I called over the football game.
" What!" He yelled, not turning the television down. I walked over to the corner with the ratty rocking chair infront of a plasma flat screen TV.
"Dad, can I go to the mall with Seira and Carry?"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Just go," he shooed me away.
"Can I borrow twenty dollars?" I inquired, still standing next to him so that way he could hear me.
"God Damnit Autumn! Just go away already! Can't you see I'm busy?" He yelled at me. The anger in his eyes was very promanate as he looked at me. It was then that I noticed he had a beer in his hand.
I walked out, holding back my tears. I was about to knock on Keivin's door before I remembered that he was at basketball camp until next week. Sighing I walked out of my house to the Kenner's.
Twenty minutes later I stood outside waiting for Seira to come. Looking up, I notice a cloud shaped like a whale before I'm taken into a huge hug from the side.
"Hey!" Carry yelled in my ear.
"Hey, could you let go? It's hard to breathe."
"Yeah, sorry. So, how's it been? Miss me?"
"It's been. Keivin's at camp till next week. I've been bored. I've missed you though."
"Autumn," she sternly said, "tell me the truth."
"The truth? The truth is I've been terrible. I lost one of my best friends, my brothers not home, you left me, and we're starting school soon. How am I supposed to be okay through all of this?" I started to raise my voice, feeling the tears come to my eyes.
"Shhhhh, I know." Carry wrapped me in one of her big hugs that made me feel like I was hugging a pillow.
"How were you the past month, touring the country and all."
"Let's see, stuck in a camper with my dad, grandma, and two cousins. We weren't allowed to have phones. I was getting nagged at by my dad. And lastly, my father wouldn't let me call you, or even come home early after what happened. So I'd say my summer was shit."
