Forgive Me. THREE
"I should go," I check
the time on my phone. It's ten minutes past the time I
usually celebrate my mom's birthday. I run away, not
hearing Radley saying something to me. I speed off, getting home
faster than usual. I pass the orphanage I used to live in,
bringing back all the terrible memories. I pull into the parking
lot of my apartment complex, and run upstairs. I pull out a
picture of my mom, and set it on the table. I get the cake
I made out of the fridge, and put it by the picture. The cake is
one of my mom's recipies, she loved to bake. I light a
small candle, and make a wish for her. I sit down, and flick on
the TV, while eating some cake. Usually, my dad would come over
with me, and talk. But, reality hit him, and he turned to
alcohol.
I wake up with a text from Radley. I forgot I gave him my number
before I left. Radley texted me asking if we could hang out again
today. I look outside seeing the frost on my window. It really is
fall. I sigh, and tell him I'm busy. I lay on the couch,
which is also my bed, and turn on a chick-flick. It's just
one of those days. Afterall, I'm not exactly lying to him, I
really do have stuff to do. I have to go to the bank to cash my
check. I sit up on the couch after watching one of those
anti-smoking commercials, and go over to my purse. I take my
package of cigarettes out, and get one out. I step outside, onto
my balcony that I can now barely fit on, and smoke it. Something
about it makes me feel guilty, so I put it out. "I'm
slowly killing myself, just like my dad..." I mutter to
myself. I go inside, and sit at my small table, and put my head
in my hands. "I'm slowly killing myself." I keep
muttering, until I get the courage to break every one of my
cigarettes. I feel good about it too... I smile when I'm
done, and text Radley.
///Author's Note: I'm loving the plot
