Unsure.... The Goodbyes....Part 2....
Chapter two part two. I hope you all like it!
My mother stood up from the autommin to meet me half way. She guided me by the waist to the sofa; that was wrapped in bubble wrap. When we both sat down there was a million little pops. My mother giggled a little. I gave her a stern glare, telling her "This is not the right time for that behavior". I know it sounds very....motherly. But you see... My mother is more of a child than I ever was. I was always more like my dad in that way I had my mother's lookes and everything... but my father's personality.My mother always looked so young and goureouse.
I guess so do i. My mother has Brown hair with a bit of red in it, mixed with a little bit of blond highlights. She has perfect skin and the body of a teenager. She is the most beautiful mother I know. And her eyes are big and round filled with beautiful chocolate color. My dad is a different story. He looks sort of like a blond Mathew Mcconaughey. Without the tan. And instead he has green eyes. He was muscular in the pictures my mom has when he was young, but now since he just had my sister and I he kinda lost his girlish figure. I look basically like my mother, except I have my dad's gorgeous eyes. I also have my father's athletic ability. My dad won first place twice in his life for the Chilmark little league. And he also was on the best team for soccer as well.
When I was little he would take me out to the batting cage and just practice with me. I was a stud muffin. And he put me in softball until it started to get old for me and I whined to stop when I was 12. Now no one can forget sweet little Millie. Well she's not so little anymore. Millie was born a year and a half after I was born. Now she is the exact carbon copy of my mother. Same everything, my mother likes her better than I , she's more like my mom's 'shopping buddy'. To tell the truth it bothers me a little when I need her help for something, but otherwise it doesn't concern me. It's weird because Millie kinda wants to leave. We are so different, yet so alike. We never had problems very much with each other when we were young. Millie is the school cheer captain, and dated basically every guy in her grade. She tried to date Darrin, but I was like 'hell no! can't I just have one guy that hasn't been touched by my little sis?' I just don't want my tongue where my sister's tongue has been. EEEWWW!!!! My sister isn't like the school slut and bitch. Hell, no my mother wouldn't allow that. My sister just likes company and.....well... variety. That's why I think she wants to leave so bad. Anyway back to the moment.
'Mom, I don't want to move because I can't bear to leave all of my friends, family, and most importantly memories. I think I will just break down into tears if you take all of that away from me! Look at Kelsy! I can't leave grammy here all alone!' I said and sat with boo boo bunny on my lap so my mother can see her.
'Aw that little raggedy old thing? I thought you didn't want it anymore I was about to go up there and throw it away.'
I gawked at my mother. How could she just throw away a memory so easily?
'You don't mean that. You know it was grammy's...you are just so excited about the move. But Kelsey is beside the point. Can't you see what we are throwing away here?'
My mother laughed. 'How can she laugh at a time like this? This is a no laughing matter!' I thought.
'Honey! Dear, dear, Lucy. We are not throwing away any memories! We are just making new ones!' she reached over and rubbed my back. 'You can always keep in touch with your friends, and Darrin. They are good enough and they won't just drop you like a fly. You guys have been together since I don't kno how long. And we will always fly out for the family on the holidays. And the memories... they-they will always stay in your heart, no matter where you go, your memories will follow you wherever as long as you don't forget them. Honey, you have nothing to worry about.'
'W-w-what about Darrin? Do you think he'll keep a long-term relationship?'
'Honey, I don't think you have to worry about him. I think your relationship is strong enough for you two to make it.' She said with a smile. Mom got up and started re-packing. When I was about to go back up to my room and sulk, Millie came down all dressed and primped.
'Hi momma! Hey Lucy! Ohmigosh we are just going to have the best time in LA! EEP!' Millie was powdered over with loads of makeup, a red tube top, and a denim mini skirt with leg warmers. Her nails were painted bright red. Well I guess she got the 80's memo. It lookes like she has a ton of Bangles on her wrists, and a ton of lip gloss.Her hair is curled with a bow on top.
'Wow Mills you look pretty, are you going to go out with Phil again?' I asked
'YYYEEESS! I feel sorry for Phil though, I'm going to dump him since we are going to La, and I bet there are going to be the most yuuummmy boys there EVA! EEEPPPP!' Millie squeals.
I sighed, there goes Millie again, though I thought Phil was going to be the one for her. Phil has lasted the longest out of all the other guys she's dated. They've dated... three weeks and five days I think. Poor Phil, but he knew what was coming when he asked her out so, it's basically his fault.
'Alright honey, well have fun.' Said my mom
Millie squealed and ran outside to her car. I know she's under age and all, but the officers know her so well they couldn't care less. And besides, she'd probably convince them not to give her a tickle with just a peck on the cheek, even if they're married. I went upstairs, thinking about what I'm going to do I totally lost to my mom. I still gotta say goodbye to my friends and Darrin. My parents already made us say goodbye to our family earlier. I went to my phone in my room on the floor. It was blinking, apparently I had a message. I looked at the screen I had three texts all from my friends and one missed call from....Darrin! I called him back and asked him to meet me at Robin's around 10:30. Robin's Diner is the place where we had our first date.
It's going to be hard to tell him the bad news. I called all of my friends and told them to meet me at Robin's at 9:30. That'll be enough time. They all seemed worried cuz they knew something was up with me this whole week, but they'll understand. I looked at the clock. 8:55. Great. I threw on something presentable -jeans and a flannel t-shirt with hightops- and headed out the door. I really didn't need to do anything with my hair I just kept it down and flipped it a few times, and ran my fingers through it, it looked like I just came back from a salon. As I got there all of my friends were already there, waiting for me.
'Hey Lucayyyy!!!' said Rebecca, and gave me a hug. Kathy, Brandon, Jerome, and Gregg then joined in the hug; it became more like a group hug.
'So wuddid you want to talk to us all at once for?' asked Kathy
'Yea? What do u wanna talk to us 'bout?' joined in Brandon, Jerome, Gregg and Rebecca.
'Well... I have some bad news for you guys...' I said with a solem face.
'Well come on now, you can't hide it from us, you have to tell us sometime...' said Rebecca.
'I know Becca, okay I'll come out with it.' I took a deep breath 'you better not cry, or else you'll hate yourself, crying shows weeknes...' my inner thoughts came to my brain making me hear them loud and clear. I looked down at my fingers afraid what their expressions may be when I tell them. 'You guys... I'm moving to LA.' Everything suddenly became super quiet. I couldn't bear the awkwardness I dared to look up. All I saw was shocked faces from the guys and the slightly sad yet shocked faces from my girlfriends. Then Rebecca, always the most courageous of them all, walked up to me and gave me a tight squeeze.
'It's okay, we'll keep in touch.' She whispered in my ear.
Then the rest of my friends came up to me and hugged my too. They all said things like : 'Don't worry we could catch up on the web cam.' Or 'I love you and we can't be separated it's impossible call me when you get there.' felt a tear trickle down the side of my cheek. But then Brandon, who is the shiest of them all spoke what everyone else was probably thinking.
'when are you leaving...exactly?' asked Brandon. I looked at the concern in their eyes. I sighed and decided to tell them,
'I'm leaving...sometime...tomorrow.' I said. Then I was rushed again with huggs. I looked to the right where I heard a car pull up into a parking space. Its Darrin's car. I pulled away from their grasps. 'Guys...' I said and gestured toward his car. They all recognized it and said their goodbyes. Brandon walked up to me, and greeted me with a kiss.
'Hey baby... what's going on? You seem... sad...? He searched my eyes. I just looked away sadly and leaded him to the diner. I haven't seen him in forever he lives so far away and goes to school somewhere far away. We ordered our food and as the waiter came with our food Darrin exploded.
'Dammit that's it!' he said pounding the table. I was so shocked, I haven't seen this side of him. 'What is up with you??! You are so depressed lately! Tell me what the fuck is going on NOW!' Darrin screeched. Grabbing his soda and breaking the glass cup. Has he been working out? I was so frightened. Was he on drugs? This is abnormal behavior.
'Ummm...I-I-I-' I stuttered. He grabbed my chin harshly.
'Speak up girl!!!' he shouted at me and let go of my face. Who is this monster?
'Umm my family and I are-are-are going to-t-t-to move...'
'WHAT??! Move?? Move where?' I didn't answer I was too frightened. He stood up and grabbed my wrist and shook me fiercely. 'ANSWER ME!'
'I-I we are going to move to LA.' I said as he stopped shaking me. He let go of my wrist. My circulation was cut off by his grip. I looked around the diner. Everyone was staring at us.
'WHY TO LA?' he asked grabbing my hair and bringing me outside. I didn't answer. I just cried and cried. 'ANSWER!!' he shouted.
'I-I don't know my-sniffle- parents s-s-said s-s-so.' He pulled my hair harder to the ground. I yelped in pain. He pushed me onto the floor.
'You WORTHLESS BITCH!' he stepped on my hand and I heard something crack. 'Goodbye Lucy!' He said and sped away.
'What the hell was that?' I muttered on my breath. I just sobbed and sobbed. The manager, Lennon came out and called my name. I liked the manager he was a year or so older than me, but he was cool.
'Lucy! Lucy! Are you okay?'
'I-I think so, I think I broke a finger or two, other than that, I think I'm fine...'
'Come here.' I obeyed him and went inside. I'm not going to upset another man in one day... hopefully.
