Have you ever had that one fly,
the one that is possibly the loudest fly ever, and that just seems
to be attracted to you, buzzing in your ear? And no matter how many
times you swat, curse, yell, it just doesn't go away? Well
that's how I'm feeling right now.
"Do you understand me, Alexis?"
I have one ear phone in and the music is as loud as it goes.
I'm listening to Slipknot and tapping my fingers on my jeans to
the beat. My feet are on the dash board and I'm reclined as far
back as the front seat of the car will let me.
"Alexis, I will not ask you again."
"Okay mom!" I screamed, sick of hearing her voice in my
ear. "Can you just.. leave me alone now?"
My mother rolled her eyes, and didn't say another word.
I finally dozed off and was rudely awoken by my mothers car door
slamming shut. I saw her going to the trunk to grab my suitcases. I
straightened myself up, and got out of the car. And my heart
dropped.
Why was I here? Standing on a beach, staring at this huge house,
with three suitcases sitting by my side. My grandparents came out
excitedly, they hugged mother and I tightly.
"I'm so glad you could make it!" Grandma Elle yelled,
grasping me tightly. I stood there stifly, suffocating from her old woman
perfume.
"Me too." Grandpa Jim smiled, not moving though. Acting
as if, he was afraid of me.
"Now Alexis, please be good for-" My mother begin.
"I will." I said stifly.
Grandma and grandpa left with all three suitcases, leaving me alone
with my mother. "I'm sorry i'm doing this to you, but you need
this."
"The only thing I need, is for you to leave me alone." I
stared her down with my brown eyes.
She smiled sadly, "Bye babygirl. I love you." She kissed me
on the cheek and I watched her leave.
I found my way to the house, unsure of where I was. My black hair
was in a ponytail, and my dark makeup was smeared from being in the
car. But I really didn't care what I looked like to anyone. I
only wore black and had a dark blue streak in my hair. I had 14
peircings and one tattoo on my lower back. I was only
17, so yes, i got it done illegally and mother still
didn't
know about it.
"Here's your room Alexis." Grandma smiled, opening
the door to a large room, with a huge window, right by the beach.
The room was yellow and bright. Two things I hated.
"It's Lexi. I go by Lexi." I said staring at my new
room.
"Well, make yourself at home. Dinner is at six. Maybe you
could go walk around on the beach until then. And i baked cookies
just for your arrival!" She bursted in her bubblly voice. Grandma Elle was
the kind of woman who would be happy 24/7, like the perfect
grandmother.
I watched her leave and went straight to the window. I stared
silently outside. Watching all the kids playing
frisbee,
the volleyball team practicing, and the perfect couple holding
hands. I wondered what they were thinking. Even though love
wasn't real, it was fun to imagine.
