Chapter Eight
When I opened my eyes I looked over to see Calvin still asleep. I slept for what seemed like forever. But it was only a couple of hours. I went for my phone which I kept under my pillow for some reason I don’t know. I had three missed texts and a missed phone call from my mother. I saw that my little brother text me asking how I was liking it there so far. I had another text from Ty telling me that he had a wonderful night and hopes to see me for round two tonight. My third text was from Simi, saying that she made it to her dorm safely and will be over to our dorm around seven. I looked to see what time it was and it said 5:45pm. I looked back to see if Calvin was still sleeping, he was. I was dreading calling my mother to see what she wanted. She never called unless it was something important. I unlocked my phone and replied to everyone that text me and then I called my mother. The phone rang three times and then she picked up. “Hello,” my mother said into the phone. “Hello mother, I saw you called. What can you possibly want?” I said. “Don’t be rude Kacey, I am your mother,” she said defensively. “Yeah I’m fully aware that. You and dad make sure I know who’s in charge of me every time you get. So what it is? Why’d you call?” I asked feeling myself getting irritated. There was just something about my mother that just set me over the edge. She can literally turn my great day upside down. It never fails. She was quite for a second. “Well I’m waiting. Have things I need to do so can we please just save the dramatics for a day when I actually care?” I asked. “Kacey, how dare you talk to me like that? I’ve done nothing but be there for you and this is the thanks I get?” she asked. “Oh yeah that’s right. You and dad were so supportive of me going to school for music that you guys ripped my check for this year’s tuition. I mean if that isn’t support then I don’t know what is. You and dad win most supportive parents,” I said raising my voice and waking Calvin. I looked over to him and mouthed sorry. “Kacey stop it this instant. You know your father and I love you very much and we support you with whatever you want to do with your life. Even though we believe you won’t get far with this degree we support you,” my mother said. “Wow mom, did you just hear what you said. You don’t believe I’m going to get far in life with this degree? You amaze me each time you open your mouth. Do you ever just sit and think before you say something like that? I want nothing to do with you or dad. Keep your money; keep your speeches, save it for someone who actually gives a damn about what you and dad have to say. Now again, what did you call me for?” I asked feeling my anger get the best of me. “I can see you are still upset with the whole tuition situation, and I do apologize for making you feel a certain way. We just don’t get it. Explain it to us, explain why this is what you chose. And I called to tell you that your brother is now following in your footsteps and is wanting to follow you to California. I just wanted to let you know that if he moves there we will be moving with him. Therefore you will be seeing a lot of us,” she said. “You’ve got to be kidding me. You and dad made such a fuss that I wanted to move here and now that Briah has decided to look at schools here you want to jump that bandwagon? What happened to this is a hippy state and no one here is going to amount to anything?” I asked. “Kacey, just get over yourself. I’m tired of hearing you make excuses for everything in life. You say you want a certain life style then you get that. We can’t make you go down the right path. You chose to do this to yourself, not your father and I,” my mother hissed. “You’re right mother. I chose this, and I’m sorry I messed yours and dads perfect fucking picture up. I’m sorry that you feel the need to talk down to me when you aren’t getting what you wanted,” I said hanging up the phone. “Ugh I’m fucking pissed right now! How dare her! How fucking dare her?!” I screamed. “Kace, calm down. What happened?” Calvin said walking over to my bed and holding me. “Calvin, I swear to god my family is so fucked up. So fucked up. I hate my mother and father so much! They aren’t picture fucking perfect! How dare they sit there on their pedestal thinking that I owe them! I owe them fucking nothing!” I said crying from frustration. “I need a fucking drink like right now!” I said pushing past Calvin and going to the bottle of Jack I had. “Kace, I don’t think drinking is going to make the situation any better. Let’s go for a walk and maybe meet up with Ty and Ben and grab something to eat,” Calvin offered. “Fine get dressed. I’ll be waiting in the car. I need a little time to cool the fuck off,” I said throwing on my vans and pulling my hair back into a messy bun. “Uh Kacey, did you want to put on some clothes?” Calvin asked looking me up and down. “Fuck my life!” I said looking down at just my bra and underwear. I looked for a pair
