"They don`t give a shit," I... «The Brightsiders»
RamingoWS4 сентября 2018"They don`t give a shit," I say, my voice filled with more emotion than I expected. "That`s the problem. They never gave a shit about me. they didn`t even want me around." I lost cound of all the times they forgot to pick me up from school or couldn`t help me with my homework because they were too drunk or busy entertaining their friends. And all the nights they stayed up fighting or crying or singing until the sun came up. It`s scary when you don`t know which version of your mom you`re going to get when you leave the room. Or if you`ll have to step over your dad in the morning because he`s passed out on the kitchen floor again. Jessie rolls her eyes. "Aren`t you being a little dramatic? It`s not like they beat you." I gasp and she laughs, as if it`s a joke. I feel like I`m shrinking to the size of a pea. "It`s not funny," I say, my voice as small as I feel. "I think they really messed me up." She shrugs like it`s no big deal. "Everyone`s parents messed them up. And let me ask you this: If you`re so traumatized by them, what are you doing here? It can`t be that bad if you chose to move back in with them." So many answers run through my mind. They`re all I have. I don`t have anywhere else to go. Even though it`s messed up, this is the only home I`ve ever known. I wanted this to be my one last shot at having a good relationship with my parents. But Jessie has already moved on. She sits on the bed, scrolling through Tumblr and smirking at memes. I put on my headphones and roll over so she doesn`t see me cry.
