Already Gone
Part Two
“The next morning was awkward. My mom would act as if I was not there, but when she thought I was not looking, would stare at me with pain in her eyes. My poor Daddy just hid behind his giant newspaper, trying to act as if nothing was wrong. But I was just seething, probably because of the hormones. I have been pregnant for two months now, and I gained about two pounds. I knew I had to pack tonight if I wanted to leave, rather than be thrown out like last week’s tuna leftovers from my mother’s big gala.”
Cali packed all her designer clothes, including the ones she never wanted, because she did not know where she would be after that night. She packed all her cosmetics, and her hygienic products. She also took three photo albums. The first, being made of pictures of Cali’s mom and dad in their early age, was one of her favorites. The second was made of pictures of Caliope as a baby, and the third was just pictures that Cali had taken of friends, boyfriends, and just random things. She packed her Mac book, iPod, iHome portable docking station, and cell phone. That night, after her mother and dad went to sleep, she took her two suitcases and got in her convertible and silently tried to start her car. It made a loud noise and then shut down. Caliope tried again. This time, it made and even louder noise, and shut down again. Her mother and father ran outside, her mom in a nightgown and curlers, while her dad was in those old flannel striped pajamas.
“Cali, honey, what are you doing?!” Her mother cried. Caliope, ignoring her mother, tried to start the car again. The convertible just would not start. Caliope’s father saw the suitcases.
“Are you trying to leave us Caliope?” Caliope remained silent, still trying to start her stubborn car. “Caliope Jane Evans! Answer me!” Caliope still ignored her dear father, tears forming in her eyes now, while the white car would not start. “Dammit Caliope! I told you to answer me!” Her father roared. Caliope still ignored her father, while tears gently streamed down her face. Her father, exasperated, just sighed, and then opened the car door. While her father was short, Cali was shorter, so he lifted her out of the car with great ease, and carried by her arms, her feet dangling by the ground. The whole way in, Caliope was screaming, kicking, and sobbing. Her father carried her up the stairs and into her bedroom. Her dad set her on the bed, and at that moment her mother walked in with the suitcases. “Addison,” her dad said softly, “please let me talk to Caliope alone.”
“What?” Her mother squawked, “But I am her mother! I have a right to stay and hear her explanation!”
“Addison…” he warned, “Please. Just let me talk to Caliope.”
“B-but I- I Think I shou- Fine.” And with that, she sauntered out of the room.
“Cali, sweetheart, what’s wrong?” He asked quietly.
“Daddy, I’m scared! I screwed up! I hate it here though! And I guess it was just a way of trying to rebel or something, but Daddy I can’t stay in Addieville! Everyone will hate me!” Caliope sobbed, while flinging her small arms on her father’s shoulders.
“Caliope, what happened? You can tell me Cali. I’m your father!” He practically whispered.
“Daddy, Drake and I broke up. Well, he broke up with me.”
“You’re crying over a boy? Caliope, that is not how your mother and I raised you. We taught you to be strong, and hold fast. That Drake character was never right for you anyway!”
“No, Daddy, he broke up with me when I told him that I was- that I was…”
“That you were what?! Caliope, you aren’t… are you?”
“… pregnant. I’m so sorry Daddy, I messed-” She began, but Cali never got to finish her sentence because her father swiftly got up and walked out, slamming the door behind him. Before the slam though, Caliope heard him say one word. “Pack.”
