Oh man, am I annoyed.
My whole world has crashed around my ears.
And it's all thanks to Dad.
Mom agrees with me too.
For some really stupid reason, he decided it was time to move on. Move out of the house that I've called home from as far back as I can remember, to another location.
I mean honestly.
He didn't even give us a full explanation. He simply told us we were moving, get our stuff ready and hop into the waiting taxi.
I'm gonna hate this place on sight. I know it.
And Mom will too.
She spent a good portion of her time, re-modelling and carefully refurbishing our old home (without anybody's help), only for Dad to stomp in and take over completely.
Not only that, because the move was so sudden, I've lost all contact with Kitty.
My rock
My best friend
My girlfriend.
The only girl that puts up with my weirdness.
We've been through so much together, Kitty and I. And now it's all gone.
I know I sound overly dramatic here, but so would you if you found yourself suddenly shipped off elsewhere, without prior notice, not even given the chance to leave a forwarding address or phone number to anyone.
You'd feel the same too.
I suspect it's got something to do with Dad's jealousy.
Ever since he met mom's old friend, he's been 'funny' ever since.
Mind you, it didn't help when Mom revealed to me that she'd actually kissed this other guy.
She did tell me that she was pregnant with me at the time and felt all lonely and hormonal.
But I'm guessing that that must have been the last straw for Dad.
Come to think of it, they married soon afterwards.
Hmmm. It's all starting to make sense now.
*sigh*
I'm gonna miss that old house and the memories in it.
Mom struggling with the repairs, because she had very little money, and getting herself wet in the meantime.
Falling asleep, exhausted on the settee, after coming home from a long day at work.
But always having time for me. Helping me with my homework and always being there.
I'm definitely going to hate this house. I know it.
At least I won't be staying there for too long.
College beckons.
And the sooner the better.
The only thing is, poor Mom. I'll be leaving her behind with him.
I can here the two of them arguing right now.
The walls in this new place are very thin indeed, and it's hard to concentrate on my studies.
I'm gonna miss the old place. With it's rickety old terrace and leaky roof that Mom kept putting off calling the repairman in for.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It's just the way I am feeling right now.
Hopefully I should be in college, the next time, telling you of all the adventures I'm hoping to have in there.
And possibly have a brand new LTW (Life Time Want)
