You'll never know what it holds until it comes. Isn't that the say about tomorrow? Actually it could be a say about the future for all I care...
Well, that's not my point, I should be sitting here moping and feeling sorry for myself but guess what? I'm not. Actually am here smiling and enjoying my dads still and furious form as we drive home.
How many times would someone get expelled from a school? Come to think of it, it could only be once in every century in a school or maybe. So what now? Well am not the bad boy figure, actually am the bad ass son. I know what my dear beloved father is thinking right now. I'm finally bored with this silence and from the looks, am not needed here so am gonna do just the right thing, jump out of this car. As we approach a mall at the outskirts of the city, I slowly begin to unbuckle my seatbelt. I'm not that damn, I know the car has to slow down as we near the mall so I figure it's safe to jump...
of cos I wouldn't want to die, it's every persons dream to bring kids into this world to take their places once they are gone, well or at least something of that nature. Am still young and I have found my forever, Jade. This catches my dads attention and he snaps his head towards me.
"What do you think you are doing kid? " he tries to hide the pain and hurt in his eyes as he looks at me sternly.
"Well, to begin with" I start feeling proud and smiling at my father, who wouldn't? I feel like am touching the skies and am the one standing at the gates of heaven sending some of you to hell, I chuckle at the thought. "I figured am not needed here so am just gonna jump out, " I state looking at my dad who raises an eyebrow at me enquiringly.
"Hell no man," I turn facing away from him and looking ahead.
"actually you don't have to hide it anymore dad, you can just spit it out. I'm a jerk and you wish I was someone else's son right now, too bad." I finish trailing off at the end with a heavy sigh. Well as you could have guessed, am high right now so am good to go, I'll think about the consequences of my actions in future but I'll enjoy my moments right now while it lasts.
He moves and abruptly steps on the brakes stopping the car beside the road making me fly forward and backwards in quick succession. I feel pain erupt at the back of my head and for the first time, I realise and I appreciate the need for seatbelts in a vehicle. I'm grateful that I hadn't unbuckled when I was distracted because I would have literally been thrown out of the car. The fact that the car is a convertible doesn't really ease my list of worries. Well yes, I may be a pain on the neck but that doesn't mean I appreciate being thrown out of running cars.
I sheepishly rub the back of my head as I look at my dad preparing to throw one of my dumb comments but realise he is leaning his head against the steering wheel so I decide to go with the later. "You could have killed me," realising what I have just said I rephrase my sentence in an attempt to not get in his nerves anymore " I mean I could have gotten hurt, " I whisper as I start looking everywhere but my dad.
"Oh," he mutters giving me his most bored face, " I thought I'd just finish of your request, I mean letting you jump out of the car would make it seem like you won so throwing you out doesn't sound that bad, does it?" he says smirking and I suddenly feel the urge to wipe that silly smirk of his face. I unbuckle my seatbelt and try to open the door but I feel strong hands holding my wrist and before I know it, my wrists are tied using my father's tie. He removes my school tie and ties my legs before buckling me up again.
Before I get the chance to complain, he steps on the gas and we are of for a nice nice ride, honestly I prefer to be somewhere else doing important things such as finishing off that bottle I left in my locker but as you have noticed my hands are tied.
Fifteen minutes later, we are pulling over at our house, or should I say my dads humble abode. Literally it is not humble as it sounds, the extravagant and expensive styles and furniture communicate it all. As soon as my dad unties me, I unbuckle my seatbelt and jump out of the car before he can even pack properly and head towards the door.
As soon as I open the door, my beautiful mother, no no no, correction, our families career woman is standing by the door waiting for me. I give her the look that says "do not start with me right now " and walk upstairs towards my room obviously too drunk to even care. I sway a bit along the way and sigh in relief as soon as I reach my bedrooms door.
I listens to my parents mumbling but it seems as if it is coming from afar and try to get a grip of what they are up to but it only reaches me as whispers so I give up and lock myself in my room. As soon as I fall on my comfortable bed, the memories of my o so beloved girlfriend Jeda hit me. Of course I love her so much despite her being the First Class bitch, who wouldn't? Well she has a sense of fashion, good looks and a kick ads attitude but all that compliments her. I come to the conclusion that I wouldn't change her for anyone in the world. I decide that I will see her tomorrow and settle things out with her.
Well though she cheated on me, I've settled scores with the guy so I guess everything is cool between us, I mean I don't mind being cheated on since its not like I don't sleep around behind her back. The only difference is she sleeps around to my face so it's scores settled. With that thought in mind, I drift off to sleep.
I'm woken up from my sweet sleep when I feel a splash of water on my face. At first I wonder if I drunk myself to the point of sleeping out in the open but the sound of giggles tells me otherwise. I slowly open my eyes to the sight of my twin five year old sisters holding a cup of water over my head and smiling down at me. I sit up rubbing my eyes and try to sternly stare at the duo but it doesn't work to my favour. I check the time from my wrist watch.
I look up and smile at my sisters before my twelve year old brother walks in grinning. " I hear you are under house arrest, this two sweet pies were strictly ordered to keep off your case but it seems they won't just get enough of you. " he says as he holds there hands and leads them out of my room. Yes, my brother is definitely a jerk but we get along just fine. He looks back and yells" invited to dinner Her, " then slams the door and is gone.
I stand up and walk straight out of my room to the dinner, I mean I should be washing off my hangover but I seized to care, besides my parents only invite me over for dinner when they want to talk about something, so I might as well fake still being high since I already know where this is headed. I reach the posh dinning room, pull out my chair and settle comfortable next to our nanny who practically is more of the mother than the career woman sitting next to my dad.
As soon as I serve my food and start to eat, my dad clears his voice and gives me the look of the year before he starts speaking in deep low voice. " Herman," he starts speaking and swallows hard, " I've hard enough of you and your crap and today I've come to a final decision. " He says in the most stern and irritated voice. Well what else would you expect, I mean if you have a child who gets expelled from a school each year, sometimes twice in the same year, that is bound to happen and I just don't like that he keeps his real emotions whenever he talks to me.
" Tomorrow morning, I expect you to have packed all your belongings and I expect you out of my house by eight in the morning. " he looks at me in the most stern way. " what? " everyone in the table including me gasps. There is a long silence before I realise there are things I need to clarify here. "So, where exactly am I going to? " I question looking at him expectantly.
" I don't know, I figured its high time you start providing for yourself since you feel old enough, you have your savings to start you off, that way I figured I won't have to worry about you anymore," he looks my way in the most emotionless face I've ever seen him wear.
" so technically, you are throwing me out?" I question raising my brow towards him.
"Technically, yeah but I wouldn't put it that way, it's more like moving you out, " he smiles down at his food as if he has just won a million dollar lottery. I can see my mum struggling with her emotions wanting to disagree but I don't expect much from her, well she is naturally blinded by love and she wouldn't dare go against my dad.
"And my love, I don't expect you to help him in any way, if you do consider us done. "
I raise my eyes to look at my mom but naturally I know what to expect so I storm out of the dinning table and bang my bedroom door clenching and unclenching my hands for the second time today in an attempt to calm myself down. As I lay in my bed, I feel sorry for the lady I call my mum, she barely argues with the man I call my dad and it's like she is blinded by love. I could see all those emotions running through her face but somehow I knew she wouldn't stand up for her own feelings where my dad is concerned. Well, it's always been like that and I always feel like she's going too far in the name of love but honestly, that's in the least of my worries right now.
I stand up and rummage through my closet picking everything I wanted and throwing them on my bed making sure I don't mess up the closet since I didn't want to leave a good mess behind. I only packed the most necessary items into a small suitcase and set it beside my bedroom door. By the time I was done, I just fell on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
