Mom! Dad!!, we're home!!
Rue layed down on the sofa when we got to the sitting room while I traced my mom's voice to the kitchen where she was doing the dishes...
Momma
Ow, my baby, you're home late, how was the party?
It was fun, let me do the dishes
Don't worry, I'm almost done... besides we should be celebrating and popping champagne right now
Mommmm, graduating high school is not that big of a deal
It is to me baby, I'm just so happy and proud of you, I've always known you could do anything if you just set your mind to it
Thank you Mom, where is Dad?
Errrrmm
What?, where is he?
He had to leave for an emergency at the hospistal
Not that I'm against my parents always going off to 'save lives' but it gets tiring seriously... They're hardly home when I need them... I remember during sophomore year when I wanted to tell my parents "what's really going on with me" and after giving them the 'I need to talk to y'all' phonecall, they didn't come home till two weeks after that call
Ow, okay.....I gave her the best fake smile I could pull
So???
So, what mom?
Now that you're done with High school what's your plan for the future?, YOUR future?
I haven't really thought about it .... I don't know, I guess I can learn a skill or something, I didn't apply for any college
Probably when your Dad comes back we can talk more about it?
Okay mom, sure... Rue is in the sitting room by the way
You know baby, I'm glad you have someone like Rue in your life, don't ever ruin your relationship with her.... huh?, what is she talking about?
Mom what are you talking about?
I'm your mom, I see all and I know all, you don't have to pre---
Mom was cut short when Rue made her presence known in the Kitchen....
Hey mom, good evening
Good evening baby girl, you know, Vale didn't even greet me when she came into the Kitchen, you should teach her some respect too, I can see you're already rubbing off your intelligence on her... mom said hugging Rue
And I didn't even get a hug mom, you should learn how to hug your child more.... and that earned me a smack
Ouch mom, that hurts
Shut it, come here
She engulfed me in a hug too, making it a very uncomfortable group hug....we all went to the sitting room after mom finished washing the dishes, chit-chatted about anything and everything, we got our little party started, after half of a creamy chocolate cake and two bottles of Don Simon wine later, we were all tipsy, I've never seen my mom drink this much, I guess she is really really happy for me but I know I can't let her drink more... I snatched the third bottle of wine from her when she was about to pop it open...
Mom that's enough, what if you get a call from the hospital early tomorrow?, you might end up having a hangover if you don't stop drinking, that's if you won't have from this much that you've already drank
Awwww, my baby, always looking out for me, okay I'm just gonna go to sleep okay?, have fun... but not too much... and Rue?
Yes mom?
Thank you, for always being there for Vale, for everything you're doing for her, I really appreciate... You both make a great couple
I wanted to correct mom and tell her that we aren't a couple but the way Rue's face lit up made me swallow my words, I'm just gonna tell mom later... After we said our 'goodnight' to mom she went to bed leaving us in the sitting room... as soon as mom was out of sight, I brought out the pills in my back pocket and got the real party started...
11pm and we are still up and popping pills, I know Rue have to go back to school tomorrow and even if she isn't complaining, she has been yawning non stop, I'm certain the lack of sleep would tell on her by tomorrow
Rue, it's late, let's go to sleep
Nooo, I won't be seeing you until next weekend, allow me to enjoy this little time I have left with you
By depriving yourself of sleep?
But I'm not even tired
You've been yawning baby and your eyes tell otherwise, let's just go to sleep okay?
But---
Rue, please
Okay
After clearing the sitting room and keeping everything back in place, I and Rue headed to my room, I stripped from my clothes but left my sport bra and boxers on, as soon as my body hit the bed I fell asleep.... but before dozing off I felt Rue's lip on mine as she wrapped her hands on my stomach and layed her head on my chest snuggling closer to me....

I slowly opened my eyes trying to adapt to the light as i looked at the clock on the wall... Fuck, it's 10am already, I turned to my side and Rue was still sleeping...
Rue...Rue wake up
Hmmmm?
Baby it's 10am
What?!... she stood up from the bed and ran into the bathroom, few minutes after she went into the bathroom she came out with a towel wrapped round her chest
Vale, why didn't you wake me earlier?, I'm so late
I woke you immediately I woke up
Can I borrow your clothes?
And since when do you need my permission to wear any of my things?
She smiled and went to my closet and dresses up, I wear more of unisex clothing than female wears, so she had to wear one of my hoodie and pants which by the way looks good on her...
Please can you drop me off at school?
Sure....
i put on the first cloth I saw and we both left the house, mom's car is not in the garage anymore, I guess she've left already... When we arrived at her school, we said our goodbyes and I drove her car back to the house
So here is the thing, Rue's in a private college and they are limited to certain things there, no matter how rich or famous you are, you must stay in the dorm, you're only allowed to leave the school on weekends except you're sick... It's like a boarding school but then it's a university.... When i got to the house..... I went back to sleep... Don't judge me... I have nothing else to do 😁

It's been three days now and my parents haven't even called or texted or anything... this is why I really hate their Job but that doesn't excuse the fact that I haven't called them either... I picked my phone and dialled Dad's number, after the second ring he picked the call
Hey Dad
My baby
Daddy, I'm a grown ass woman not a baby
You're still my baby though, no matter how much you grow, you'd always be my baby
I miss you Dad, I miss you and mom so much
I'm so sorry I wasn't at home to properly congratulate you and party with y'all, your mom said you guys had fun though
Yeah we did but it wasn't the same without you
I know baby, I'll make it up to you soon okay?
Okay Dad, when are you coming back home?
Hopefully, tomorrow
What about mom?
I don't really know, they've been in and out the Emergency room for two days now, she is quite busy here
Okay, please tell her I miss her
I will Vale, I'm sure she misses you too
Okay Dad, take care of yourself, I love you
I love you more my princess
I hung up and started playing video games... times like these I really wish I'm a bit social, maybe I'd have more friends and won't be as bored as I am right now... I called my dealer and scheduled to meet him later on, I'm running low on my pills already...
I heard the front door open and close, is my ear doing tricks on me or something?, I'm not expecting anyone...wait, what if it's a burgler... Jesus f*cking Christ... I slowly made my way downstairs, tip toed into the kitchen and took the frying pan, I walked slowly making sure not to make a sound as I got to the sitting room, I peaked a little, since I have no clue as to what to expect, then it happened...
I felt someone tap me at my back, I swung the frying pan as much as I can, screaming at the top of my lungs, I looked at the person on the floor, holding his nose with blood oozing from it, but as soon as he looked at me, I dropped the pan and ran to his side
O my God... Dad, why did you do that?
Remind me never to try to scare you again, go get me the first aid kit please
I ran upstairs to my parents bedroom and brought the first-aid kit, after he was done cleaning the blood from his nose, he stared at me with a blank expression, I couldn't help but laugh at how reddish his nose looks, he soon joined me and we were both laughing like maniacs, I so miss this man
I thought you told me you'll be coming back tomorrow
I wanted to surprise you... but look what I got, a broken nose
You scared the living shit out of me, you shouldn't blame me but I'm sorry though
I and Dad talked for what felt like years when in reality it was just a few hours, he suggested that I go to college, but I didn't even apply for any so I declined of course, which brought us to the topic we are currently discussing
How about you go to the same college as Rue
How am I supposed to get in?, I told you I didn't apply for any college
I know, I know... the Dean is a very close friend of mine so I'll talk to him about it, it's not that much of a deal... all I need you to do for me is think of what you'd be studying there, think of something that picks your interest, something you actually like
What if I don't like anything?
There must be something you surely like, take your time and think of it, I'd just talk to him
Okay Dad
I love you pumpkin
I love you too Squirrel
You dare compare me with a squirrel?...my Dad fake gasped
Not like I don't wanna stay with you like this for as long as I can but your cloth is killing me Dad, you smell like blood
Chill there tiger, I'd just go take a bath... Do think about what I told you okay?
Okay pops
