When my life changed forever.

My name is Mary. Just listen to my story. Pay attention real close. ~October 15th 2009~ I was in my bedroom listening to my iPod, while writing in my diary. Kind of lame, I know but it's just what I do. My mom yelled for me to come out of my bedroom to eat dinner with her, and my dad. I'm an only child. It's not all good, cause I'm basically alone all the time, but I'm used to it. I gave her an "ok", closed my diary, took out my headphones, put the iPod away, and walked out to the dinner table. I smiled at my parents, and sat down with my plate. "So, was school ok?" Mom asked. I nodded. After done with my food, I walked to the sofa and turned on the tv. We don't have cable so there's never really anything to watch. I saw a movie while I was passing through channels with the remote, and just left it on. I got really bored watching tv, so I walked to my room, and shut the door. I went back to my iPod, and diary. A few minutes later I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "Come in" I said. I heard the door open and saw my mom at the foot of my door. She waved her hand at me, and walked over to my bed. She sat down next to me, and held my hand with hers. "Your father and I are going to head off to sleep, ok?" she told me. "That's fine" I say. She smiles. "I don't mind you staying up late, but not after 12:00pm!" she told me with a smile, and walked out of my room, leaving me with one of her kisses. My dad never tells me goodnight or really talks to me, like he used to. I guess I could say-he's become more... 'Independant'? I don't know. He's just different, I guess. I didn't want to stay up any longer, so I turned off my lamp, and lied down under my covers, and shut my eyes. I could hear my mom and dad in their bedroom. I hear angry whispers coming from my dad. Then I can hear my mom sobbing. "I'm s-sorry" was the only thing I heard coming out from that bedroom. Um ok? I hope my mom is ok. She'll be fine... -Next morning- I woke up to the alarm i set on my iPod. Man, that thing is annoying! I got up from my bed, put on my slippers, and walked out to the kitchen. My dad was on the living room sofa, watching the news, while I saw my mom cooking breakfast on the stove. "Good morning, honey" she hugged me, "have a goodnight sleep?" She asked. "Yes I did" I answered. She served me a plate of her delicious eggs, bacon, and sausage. After that I got ready for school, hugged my parents, and headed out the door. By the way I'm in the eighth grade. ~at school~ I walked through the hallways, being greeted by some of my friends. Then I saw my bff Kaylie, at her locker, so I walked up to her. "Hey girl" I said. She gasped. "Woah, you scared me!" she playfully punched my shoulder. "Ow!" I chuckled. She laughed. "You do your homework last night?" she asked. "Yep, you?" She shook her head. That girl! Never doing her homework, and coming up with dumb excuses. "Mr.Robert is going to be pissed!" I tell her as she nods guilty. "Well, me and my family were out on vacation! How am I supposed to do my homework then? I don't think teachers should give homework on the days we are supposed to be off school!" she sighed. I shook my head, and patted her shoulder, as we walked into class. As I walked to my seat, I noticed the cutest boy in school, Brad, sitting in his chair tapping his pencil. He glanced at me and gave me a half smile, then a wink. I looked down and played with my fingers. Girls in school told me before, to be careful with that guy. They never told me why, they just warned me. I think he could be an OK guy once you get to know him. So after school, when he was about to walk home, I walked over to him. "Um, Brad?" I ask. He looks over at me. "Oh hey!, Mary- right?" he says. I nod, and smile. "I was just wondering, Brad, if you ever need a math tutor I could maybe help you after school. I'm available anytime. I heard you been having trouble with-" he cut me off. "Your cute" he said to me. I blushed. "Thanks" I said. "I could use some help actually, I'm free Tuesdays if that's fine?" he asked. "Great!" I said. We exchanged numbers, and decided to walk home together since we are on the same street. As we walked through the hallway, girls gave me worried looks. I just ignored them and kept walking. As I got to my house we said our goodbyes and headed inside.
