“Yeah my mom and I move a lot because of her job”
That’s what I told my friends in Bloomfield when they saw me
I 've switched back and forth out of this school 3 times now.
Mom has no job right now, we live with my Aunt.. again.
Everything has changed since Matt took Mathew away
I didn’t know dad’s could take sons away from mothers
Mom cries a lot- she thinks I don 't know but I hear her
I never thought of Matthew as my half brother
That was until the court made it apparent to me.
That was 3 years ago.Yet it feels like yesterday.
I hate living in Bloomfield- she threatened me today
Told me to stop talking to this boy I don 't even know.
Wela’s in the hospital- her asthma’’s acting up
Stage 3 lung cancer it all became a blur from there …show more content…
I always wonder if my mom will come home tonight
Sometimes I feel like a grown up with my own house
It 's awfully lonely thirteen, in my own apartment
My mom knows there 's something wrong “How’s school going sweetie?”
“Great I’m making lots of friends.” I can’t crush her with truth.
“That 's good. Well I know I 've been working a lot lately…”
I didn’t realize people work for three days straight
Hmm.. Weird. I thought they might want you to sleep or something.
“...and that’s why maybe we could get you a little friend?”
“Wait what…” “A dog. I ordered you a little puppy.”
A puppy.. Just for me.. A companion. “Bianca” Not going to lie she was not the easiest
She pooped in the cage and the floor, just not outside
She had serious abandonment issues though
Then again who was I to complain? She loved me
I couldn 't even shower without her crying
When I left for school her voice would go hoarse
She had to be able to see me or she was lost
She would never leave my side and I loved her for …show more content…
Seemingly normal, Seemingly stable, seemed to be…
Perfect. “Dad, I do not want to go back home”
“Honey, she wants to stay. She’s serious this time.”
My stepmom was elated… a grin cheek to cheek.
My dad had always dreamed of the day I would stay
They had me call my mother and tell her “I’m staying”
“Sweetie, just come home and we will talk about this then”
“I will be right here call me in thirty minutes to check in…
If she tries anything funny you need to call me”
I honestly can’t say I remember much of it
But I do remember the sadness in her eyes
Her dark brown eyes almost seemed crazed with despair
“First Wela leaves me and now you want to leave me too?”
“Mom, I’m doing what is best for the both of us…
I’ll be in Westport they have a great schooling system”
“But Windsor has good schooling too… Baby girl don’t
