Gone

"That's the big news? You have to be joking! Why didn't you...? I just... Ahhhhhh!" I shouted, almost in tears from frustration.
I stood up and paced the room subconsciously. My worst nightmare had come true. I couldn't believe they had done this to me. I always knew they hated me. This was a whole new level to that reality. Why would they do this to me? What had I done to deserve this?
"We've already told his parents that it would be okay," Mum said, "I can't cancel, they're counting on us,"

"I really don't like Josh, we're not...in a 'good place' at the moment,"
I struggled to find the words to phrase what he had just put me through without giving too much away.
"Something going on I should know about?"
Mum shot me one of her suspicious own-up-now-and-I-won't-murder-you looks.
I shook my head vigorously. I refused to tell her what had happened. No way. She wouldn't understand. If she knew, I would be in even more trouble than I already was, if that was even possible.
"Well, you're grounded for two months. I'm not changing my mind about that or the Josh thing so don't even try to sway my decision. Kathy and I are good friends, you know that. Friends do favours for friends. Besides, it won't be so bad having you two under the same roof for a while," she babbled.

I could deal with being grounded but the 'Josh thing' too? It was all too much. Who was she trying to convince? Everyone knew how much of a troublemaker he could be including my mother. She was clearly in denial. This was a terrible idea. Terrible. It didn't matter though. I had no say in anything that happened around here. I was merely expected to 'suck it up' for two weeks. That's two weeks too long. I didn't even survive one night with him. I had to walk away from her before I said something I would regret later.
"Don't forget Dad is coming home soon. He doesn't know about the party you threw behind our backs, so don't mention it to him until I-"

I stopped listening. I couldn't put up with this any more. As soon as I got to my room I shut the door and surrendered to my bed. I closed my eyes and took several short sharp breaths. My breathing deepened as I drifted off. What felt almost like a split second later, I felt something vibrating in my bra. I frowned as I pulled my phone out. Woah, back up. Had it been there the whole time? Last night was still foggy but the one thing I remembered quite clearly was stuffing my phone in my bra after talking to my Mum on the phone. If Josh and me had done that then why was it where I had put it originally? I was officially confused.

It was a text from an unknown number. It said: 'looks like we're gonna be roomies'.
I rolled my eyes and threw my phone against the back wall with anger. It was frustrating to think he got a kick out of torturing people. He always targeted me the most out of everyone. I had no idea why. When I finally realised what an ass he was and ended the friends with benefits relationship we had going on, he was pretty upset. Maybe he still wasn't over that. Maybe he hadn't gotten any action since then and therefore felt the need to piss me off at every moment possible. I didn't know why and I certainly didn't care. I just wanted him to stop.
