American Heart

I was walking side by side with Dylan to our small school when he suddenly asked me a question, "Charlotte, it's been almost a year since Dad died. Stop ignoring Mom, she aint done nothing wrong. "

Ugh, why can't he just drop it?!

"Dylan," I snapped," All Mom wants is money. You know that. Soon enough she'll find some rich guy for me to marry. She doesn't care about us. The only reason I'm not running away is because I can't. Believe me, if I could I would."

He looked guilty for bringing up the subject," I'm sure Mom isn't that mean. She wouldn't have you do something like that."

That's what I liked about him. We could go from teasing and annoying each other to a heartfelt conversation in mere seconds. But even then, sometimes he just didn't understand.

"Please don't ever comfort me with a lie," I confronted back as I resumed my walking, trying to go a bit fast so he wouldn't catch up.



As we reached the small school building that barely had 100 students and staff altogether, I slowly became anxious. I hated school. All it does is bring drama into our lives. I'm pretty sure I don't need to know about the next One Direction concert or the latest 'it' couple. Ugh, soo been there and done that. It's amusing how these couples think they're just sooo in love. Though I shoudn't complain. I was just like them. I mean, maybe these guys know what they're doing; I surely didn't since I ended up with a broken heart. Gosh, why can't fairytales exist for me?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made sure to tell Dylan to go home before I started on my way to the library and pharmacy for medicine. he obviously can't get Mom's medicine, he can barely tell the difference between.... well, anything really. Besides, I don't need him pestering me about the 'childish' books I was getting.



Near the road, I noticed a construction site near the pet shelter. They were taking it down? Boy, Arcul is definetley not getting any better.

Before going to the library and pharmacy, I decided to stop by a few places, too. I'm sure ma wouldn't mind.

And just like that, After a while, I was on my way to my first real destination - the library. With, of course, a lollipop from the candy store and few flowers from the garden in my hands, along with a hat on my head.

And, somewhere along my adventure, I happened to stop by what seemed like a broken down... tour bus?

Notes
