Sweet Sixteenth Birthday

As I finished preparing a buffet of food that I had used almost all my savings to buy, I smiled for almost the hundredth time today as it was my sweet sixteenth birthday.

I went to the living room where my family was sitting to ask my sister to help me to come and help me to serve the food when I heard echoing laughter. It was from my mom. I was so curious as to why she was laughing so joyfully. My mom was the strict but very loving type of parent. But she never joked with money, and she only laughed like this when she was dealing with money matters - huge money matters.

I peeked, so I could hear what she was saying, and I didn't want to ruin the fun by just walking in out of the blues in a situation where my mom was this happy. After a joyous laugh, I heard her say "Mr. Robinson said he was going to pay £10,000 to marry Luna then we can buy that shoe that costs £5,000 for Chelsea and then go on a shopping spree. It'll be so fun. Luna has been such a drag in our lives"

I felt so bad as I covered my mouth with my hands so that no one could hear me cry about my miserable life. I now really realize that buying gifts for yourself does have a meaning like an old school friend told me. Means that I am hated and unwanted. That no one wants me and just like my mom said, a drag on their lives. I surprised myself with gifts that were prepared and wrapped by me. What a life u really live.

I took a few of my clothes and went to the next place that I felt wanted except from that dreadful place I called home-Jay. I ran outside my home and to the compound next to mine where I saw Jay sitting on the grass watching the stars. He looked so handsome, cute, and like the only person I knew I could rely on which he was. I almost forgot my sorrows while staring into Jay's handsome face.

I ran into his compound as I said "Babe, I miss u so much." He saw the bag in my hand and asked me about it. I then explained the whole story as I sobbed. He asked" Isn't Mr. Robinson the 50 Year-old bald man that drinks all day with his parents'inheritance?" I nodded and he rubbed my head. I felt loved with him. He loved me so much.

He then said" Let's elope. We'll plan our lives there, finish school, graduate and live our life in a whole different town where no one knows." I thought it was a great idea and agreed 'cause I could get away from Mr. Robinson and my family and spend the rest of my life with the person I loved most. It was a great deal, so I agreed,, and we left to start a new life
